General Update and Appearance Round-Up!

I want to say three things:

1. Loved Daredevil. What a fantastic translation of the Man Without Fear and his cast. Hope that there’s another season booked before the Defenders makes its run in a couple of years; but if not, this sure satisfied. Reckon now I just have to be patient until the next Defender show drops in December!

2. Looking forward to Ant-Man. I was already onboard, but the trailer doubled down that feeling. This is in my wheelhouse. Let’s go, Scott Lang. (And what a train sequence! Hah.)

3. These dang shows and movies make me wish I was playing with those toys! I don’t often pine to work on things not already on my plate; but these shows rev my creative engine and get me excited. I’ll just direct that to other purposes!

Ghostbusters: Get Real proceeds apace; I just turned in the first draft to issue #2. It contains a double-page spread I can’t wait for Dan Schoening and Luis Delgado to bring into the world… should be FUN. (Which is, as ever, what we aim for.)

I told Dan the other day, once Get Real ends, he, I, and Luis will have worked together on 42 Ghostbusters comics. I hope we can extend that streak, but either way I could not be more proud. #1 drops in June, folks! BE THERE!

Now, let’s talk appearances! Places where we can meet up! I will sign comics, sketch, and talk myself hoarse. (Possibly also embarrass myself — we’ll see how the day goes!)

I recently returned from Emerald City Comic Con, and it was fantastic as always. I don’t want to forget them; but it’s been two weeks and I only just now am starting to recover from all of that insanity. So many fans. SO MUCH FUN. My thanks to Jim Demonakos and the ECCC crew for having me out!

Okay, back to the future. (Heh.) This is where you can find me for the foreseeable future:

First – Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, May 2! I’ll be appearing at HOT COMICS AND COLLECTIBLES in Richfield, MN. Signing! Sketching! I may bring some books or prints, if I have time to dig some up. If you have any preferences, drop me a line! I bet I’ll have seen Avengers 2 by then. Come by, we’ll geek out.

Next: MSP Comic-Con! Formerly SpringCon, it’s happening at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds on May 16-17. Lots of great folks will be there, and so will I! Wait… that’s not how I meant it…

Then: Down to Atlanta Georgia and MOMOCON May 28-31! My first time at the show, but from the looks of things online, I’ll be seeing a bunch of passionate, happy attendees and cosplayers. Can’t wait!

JUNE! On the 19-21, I’ll be winging to Charlotte, NC for my very first Heroes Con! I’ve heard only the best about this show and absolutely cannot wait to experience it firsthand, and meet colleagues I’d never see anywhere else. Come say hi!

June 27 will see me in Bloomington, MN at the Bloomington Armory for ComicCard! A fun little recurring one-day show with lots of comics, sports cards, and memorabilia! Drop by for a high five!

And then, the big kahuna, San Diego Comic Con! I’ll be there wandering around from the 8th – 12th (give or take!) I’m sure I’ll do a signing or something at least once… my schedule will be finalized closer to the show!

Lastly, I know I have a couple of pending store visits on deck — but the dates have yet to be nailed down. As soon as they are, I’ll shout!

Thanks for checking in — hope to see you at some point this year!
