Standard Attrition on Khepri
A month ago or so, Arizona’s Khepri Comics relaunched its website, offering exclusives by Brian Wood, Cliff Chiang, and Ryan Kelly, among others. They’re also tagging all books and swag by Standard Attrition members, and you can jump right to that collection here.
So in addition to exclusives like Cliff’s Atomic Bombshell Prints, Brian Wood’s SDCC [...] -

Friends and colleagues,
As most of you know, the first volume of my comic book series AIR debuted last month. Drawn by the incomparable MK Perker, AIR is the story of Blythe, a fight attendant with a fear of heights who is drawn into the race to develop [...] -

Musical Influences, For Real
01.29.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsInspired by Jock. Kind of.
Mine:Delerium. Yay girlie gothtronica.
VAST. Less girlie gothtronica.
Muse. Supermassive hipsterhole.
Tori. Don’t hate; I wrote a short for the woman’s book.
Swans. My first concert. Tear!

SA End of the Year Sit-Rep
01.08.09 | Permalink | 9 CommentsWHAT WORK FROM 2008 ARE YOU THE MOST PROUD OF?
Brian Wood: LOCAL. The best thing I’ve done, and hopefully the first of many Ryan Kelly collabs. And the first NORTHLANDERS book, which not only got me out of my comfort zone but did the same for a lot of people who thought [...] -

Out Here, No One Knows What the Hell a Skrull Is
10.13.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsEgypt keeps me good and humble. When I tell people I write comics, they assume I mean picture books about Mickey Mouse for kids. They give me little smiles and say “How adorable!” Even if AIR #3 sold 100,000 copies and I was awarded All The Eisners There Are, I would never be famous in [...]

AIR #2 Out Now, Plus AIRlift Update
09.17.08 | Permalink | 3 CommentsAIR #2 is in stores today. For those of you who speculated there were going to be more fantasy elements…you were right.
Also, an AIRlift Update: For various reasons, I have been asked NOT to encourage people to put copies of AIR on bookstore shelves. Consider my wrist slapped.
So we’re taking it to the streets. I’m [...] -

AIRlift in Bethlehem, PA
09.02.08 | Permalink | 2 CommentsJared B. stuck this on an auspicious shelf in Bethlehem’s Moravian Book Shop–which, he tells me, is the oldest continuously operative bookstore in the nation. (Est 1745.)
Keep ‘em coming!

Operation AIRlift
08.25.08 | Permalink | 10 CommentsYou may remember the loooong thread in Azz’s forum about new ways to keep monthlies viable and get more people into reading comics. I thought a lot about what people observed and suggested, particularly in regard to mainstream bookstore/media exposure. I thought about getting my first monthly out of the gate in a crashing economy. [...]

I read the first two issues of AIR…
08.20.08 | Permalink | 5 CommentsAnd okay, Willow, you got me. I’m officially hooked. It’s a beautiful and intriguing sort of post-9/11 fairy tale, part Gabriel Garcia Marquez, part “Lost,” all very fresh and exciting. I can’t wait to see where it leads next. Here’s wishing you a long long run.

IT’S HERE
08.20.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments“One of the stronger first issues of a Vertigo title that I have seen recently…recommended.” –Comic Book Resources
“Wilson and Perker create a world of lounges, cockpits and terminals that are more fantastically dangerous and sexy than the real things can be.” –PopSyndicate.com
“…entertaining from start to finish, and it still provided a few ambiguous moments to [...] -

I Am Going To Be Nauseous Until Thursday
08.18.08 | Permalink | 7 CommentsSo yeah, I forgot about that one-day-until-your-book-drops feeling.
It’s slightly mitigated by the fact that I got a very complimentary note from Neil Gaiman several weeks ago. (I say that like I get emails from my literary idols every day, but it’s all a pose. After I read it I had to lie down.) But even [...] -
