This Weekend MeCAF!

I'll be in Portland, Maine this weekend for MeCAF. If you're jn the area, I hope to see you there!

SUPERBOY RETURNS...And I'm writing him!

As announced on THE DC comics Blog "The Source" this morning I will be writing the new SUPERBOY ongoing monthly comic starting this fall!

I'm lucky to be sharing the creative chores with insanely talented and affallable Italian artist Pier Gallo! I couldn't be more excited to be working on "The Boy Of Steel", and can't wait for you to read some of the cool stories we have planned.

It's no secret that I love telling rural stories, and love super hero comics, so documemting The New Adventures of Superboy in Smallville is a dream come true for me!

“Writer & artist Jeff Lemire has created the new ‘must read’ book with SWEET TOOTH. It’s a fairy tale turned on its ear-or antlers-that takes you on the road trip through an America slightly more fantastical and just as frightening as ours.” —GEOFF JOHNS (Blackest Night)

“I would crawl over broken glass to read this.” —JASON AARON (Scalped)

“Lemire’s next great work is a shockingly original cocktail of the surreal. A candy-colored nightmare of family, violence and the end of the world.” —MATT KINDT (Super Spy)

“Sweet Tooth is a dark, moving, and intriguing story, and Jeff Lemire’s gentle writing and raw, expressive art work perfectly together.” —FRANK QUITELY (Batman & Robin)

“A remarkably strange story, drawn in an appropriately expressionistic style. I need to know what’s going to happen to Gus!” —PETER BAGGE (Everybody is Stupid Except for Me)
