SDCC Schedule & What I'm Enjoying
Thanks to everybody that came out to Golden Apple for the debut party and signing for THIS ENDS TONIGHT. Both the Apple & Revenge Of in Los Angeles have copies of the debut signed by the team, including Jae who made the drive out from Las Vegas.
Let’s not screw around this week, we’re all busy. The folks at Comic Sketch Art are hosting me in Artist Alley at GG02. I will be hanging out here and may be signing there more often than the times below.

Additional panelists include collaborators Heath Corson, Gerry Duggan, Soo Lee, Hannah Rose May, Dan Hernandez, J.M. DeMatteis, and Timmy Heague.

What I’m Enjoying
Margie, Jeanine, and Judy have crushed it. I read all the way to Weezie’s arrival in the first sitting. Wonderfully written, carefully researched — a labor of love that deserves all the love it will get back. What a triumph, and you may recognize a couple of photos inside…
As expected, one of my favorite films shines bright in this Criterion. We’re still working our way through the many wonderful extras.
And new from David Litt, never has drowning been so funny. Highly recommended. I’m also excited to have Strange New Worlds back. Enjoyed the first hour of season three very much.
I’ll try to do an SDCC photo dump later this week.
More soon including some surprising announcements of new places you will see my name.

Aw man, I wish I was going!
