It’s come to my attention that Pop Culture Con has been cancelled. It was scheduled to be one of my convention stops this fall, but things fell apart with it. As of this the moment the Pop Culture Con website does not reflect this news.
I’ll be at Chicago Comic-Con (formerly known as Wizard World Chicago) in just a few weeks. More on that soon.
I’m simultaneously working on LACKLUSTER WORLD #6 and #7 and will have them wrapped up this Summer. LACKLUSTER WORLD #6 has my favorite cover from the series thus far…
Tomorrow (Saturday, May 2), I will be signing, selling and celebrating comics fro FREE COMIC BOOK DAY at Comics2Games in Florence, KY. You can get directions and all the free comics info at their site.
I’ll be passing out free copies of LACKLUSTER WORLD #1 to anyone with an empty hand.
GEM CITY COMIC CON 2009 was a couple weeks ago and I can’t say I have all that much to share regarding the show, but here goes:
I must say it went much better than I expected. I went last year and did so-so sales-wise so I was apprehensive to return. Not really sure what was different this year, but maybe it just needed a couple years to grow it’s legs.
The usual gang was there: Chuck Moore, Bill Gladman and John Wilson of ComicRelated.com. Darren and Jackie of Ringtail Cafe. Bob Hickey of Blue Line Pro. Jon Hodges. My neighbor at the show was Dustin Carson (he writes an interesting comic called NO GODS [Review at CR]).
I sold the crap out of my JESUS & TALKING BEAR tee shirts.
The Underground Video Network did a mini-interview with me where I gave my standard LACKLUSTER WORLD sales pitch. Here’s the vid. My segment starts around the 3:00 mark.
Like I said, it went better than I expected, so I’ll be returning next year.
