January Previews

I just got my copy of the January Previews and I have to share it with you! Here's the actual page with the first offering from my new production entity, Greystone Inn Comics.

In case you missed the first post, I'm asking all henchmen, goons, thugs, and minions to go to their comic shops and bookstores and ask for the Evil Inc Annual Report Vol 1 by name. It's on Page 281 of the January Previews, order code: JAN073651.

You'll notice, it has been chosen as one of Diamond's "Certified Cool" items.

Finally. Certification. :)

Philly Feed

Here's another exciting announcement for some great stuff that's coming up in 2007: Phables, my long-form comic about life in Philadelphia, is going to begin updating every Monday starting later in January.

It has been very successful in the Philadelphia Daily News, where it started running every other Monday earlier this year. We made the official announcement on Philly Feed, which is the podcast of the Daily News.

And, yes, if you go to today's Philly Feed Web site, you'll see that although I've worked there for eight years, they spelled my name wrong (unless they've fixed it by now).

Spelling aside, this is fantastic news because, between the weekly cartoon I do for their sex-advice column and the now-weekly Phables, I'm going to be spending more time than ever doing cartooning as my day job.

If you'd like to download the podcast and listen for yourself, knock yourself out. We talk about some the Phables from 2006 and discuss what makes a really good Phable.

Courting Disaster

Courting Disaster, my weekly comic about sex, love, and relationships updates every Friday. You'll laugh your pants off. This week's question:

My boyfriend of one-year, who is Brazilian, went to Brazil for three months for business and personal reasons. Before he went to Brazil, we had such a wonderful relationship, but I broke up with him right before he went away because I knew that he would be unfaithful. When he came back he told me that he slept with three different women and on several occasions, but that it was just sex and didn't mean anything. Still, this has me really upset, even though he says he loves me. I just don't know if he is worth it?

Go on over and offer some advice.

Comic Book Urban Legends

From Comic Book Resources: Only one of these urban legends is false. Do you know which one?

Batman had a brother!

Blue Beetle gained weight as an homage to Nite-Owl from Watchmen.

Archie cancelled a series after two issues because of a threat of a DC Comics lawsuit.

Read on to find out which one is the false item.
