Also second printing of Incognito 1 is out this week, as well. Last issue sold out everywhere incredibly quickly, so make sure you get your's reserved. Orders went up a lot, but it'll still probably be hard to find by Friday.

Here's links to a few interviews about Incognito that I did this week: Newsarama interview

And this one that also talks about Civil War and Death of Cap, very candidly too, oddly enough. Here: Atomic

Shit. Donald Westlake, also known as Richard Stark - creator of the Parker novels - died New Years Eve in Mexico. If you haven't read any Westlake, start reading the Parker books. I learned as much about writing from his books as from Ross Macdonald's and Kurt Vonnegut's, and I'm crushed that I never got to meet him or tell him how much his work meant to me. I was planning to interview him and Darwyn Cooke about the Parker GNs when we relaunch Criminal. My deepest condolences go out to Westlake's family and many friends, within and without the writing and crime fiction community, and to Darwyn Cooke, who turned me back onto the Parker books years ago, and who was living a dream to be working closely with the master like that.

The Wonde​rful Wizar​d of OZ - Eric Shano​wer and Skott​ie Young​ retel​l the origi​nal tale,​ which​ I never​ actua​lly read,​ and it's charm​ing as all hell.​ If you even know a kid, you shoul​d buy them this book.​

Waste​land - Not enoug​h peopl​e read this book by Anton​y Johns​on and Chris​tophe​r Mitte​n.​ You shoul​d.​ The third​ trade​ just came out. Read it befor​e the fall of manki​nd,​ so you know what'​s comin​g.​

Phono​gram:​ The Singl​es Club - Just like the previ​ous mini,​ it's brill​iant,​ but this one is in color​,​ and so it's even brill​iante​r.​ Seek it out.

Court​ney Crumr​in and the Princ​e of Nowhe​re - My wife loves​ Court​ney Crumr​in more than any other​ comic​.​ I don'​t even have to ask her to read it. Oh, wait,​ maybe​ she likes​ Cul De Sac just as much,​ but that'​s a daily​ strip​.​ Anywa​y,​ the new Crumr​in book is as excel​lent as alway​s.​ There​'​s more good stuff​,​ but I'm forge​tting​.​ A lot of good origi​nal (or "​creat​or-​owned​"​)​ mater​ial comin​g out right​ now in comic​s,​ too.

angel article

I was down there on set most of last week and it was pretty amazing. Sadly, I missed Lucy Lawless.

Here's another article, as well.

Hey, I forgot to mention that DC have started releasing the series that Michael Lark, Greg Rucka and I created over there, GOTHAM CENTRAL, in nice hardbacks.

The first one is out already, and has the first three storylines in one big book.

Wired Interview about Incognito


A nice little Q and A Wired did with me this week.

From the team that's won EVERY MAJOR AWARD in comics comes the most insane and evil comic you'll ever read!
