Bendis!

After a panel where Brian Michael Bendis interviewed David Mack and Mike Oeming, we bum rushed the stage and got him to sign for PhillyGirl and take this photo. The panel was more serious about the creative process than expected, but of course there was a lot of discussion of "zapping herself with powers" that ended with a Mack vs. Oeming arm wrestling match for the Hero Initiative. It was quick and I didn't really say much, but I like this pic a lot. Also, I liked when I walked past the Suicide Girls booth and one of the suicide girls said she liked my vest-- I said "It's kind of Veronica Mars" and she said "That's exactly what I thought!".

down with the dang sickness

Man, this week I had not only a root canal but then got the worst bout of flu! 104 fevers and 24 hours in bed. Each day I'm getting a little better, but I think at least in Jersey there are some bad juju bugs going around.

I will share the Red Sonja sketch I got from Mike Oeming this weekend- he actually took my sketchbook from last August's show, and I just got it back. Ooh, I forgot to ask if he wanted me to pay for it! Artists aren't usually shy to ask, so let's hope it's a gimme.

I did read a Grimm Fairy Tales comic, the JLA 6, and the Moon Knight with Captain America. That was late on the upswing due to recent CA events.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the redhead! After digging out of the ice and snow, I hope to have a pint or two. Here are two images from a comic in Gaelic I got at Forbidden Planet Dublin.

Cló Mhaigh Eo is a publisher of books in Irish for children and young people as well as a series of acclaimed Irish graphic novels. The company is based in Claremorris, County Mayo in the West of Ireland.


Of interest to me:
I've always loved Aquaman. I was buying the previous Aquaman, then came on board to Aquaman: Sword of Atlantis. The last few issues with villian "The Fisherman" was just confusing. The Comic Treadmill sums up the latest abandonment

An Aquaman run by a new creative team that abruptly changed directions and promised to bring new vitality to a title that has floundered for direction for years launched to great fanfare and potential and has been just as abruptly abandoned by the creative team for a new team that will likely abruptly change directions and promise to bring new vitality to the title.

Divalicious I really liked Penny&Aggie

Dynamo 5 sells out this title has the buzz!

Vote for your favoUrites for The Eagle Awards God, I'd like to see some women (like Gail Simone) win.

Mike Oeming's The Mice Templar is coming out this summer, a project he has talked about for years. The inevitable comparison to Mouse Guard comes up, with a 'good vibe' for both
"Templar I think is the opposite: it's more menace and danger with undercurrents of sweetness."

Also Oeming's Omega Flight is solicited as a mini-series, rather than an ongoing series. I understand Marvel's move as the Flight books have never performed well in the past and it has always been a cult book.
