San Diego Round-up

Had a great time in San Diego. Stayed in a room with Nate Powell and Jeffrey Brown. Congrats to Nate on his Eisner win for Best Graphic Novel! Swallow Me Whole is a wonderful book, and the win much deserved!

Got to catch up with Jason Aaron, and the rest of the Vertigo crew and did a couple of panels supporting Sweet Tooth. Matt Kindt and I had a blast hanging out. Matt snapped this photo of The JSA. The Atom's costume is fantastic. Back to work...

Sweet Tooth 2 Solicited For October!

SWEET TOOTH #2

Art and cover by Jeff Lemire

“I would crawl over broken glass to read this.” –Jason Aaron (SCALPED, Wolverine)

Vertigo’s most unusual and terribly cool post-apocalyptic road-trip epic is unstoppable. The innocent deer/boy Gus is forced from his forest sanctuary into the almost annihilated world of men where he’s desperately led by a different kind of force of nature: A cold killer who promises the only chance of salvation. Get onboard the buzz bandwagon with the ongoing series mash-up of horror, high adventure and friendship by Eisner-nominated storyteller Jeff Lemire (THE NOBODY, Essex County Trilogy).
