Out Today: Wolverine Noir #4

Concluding the dark 1930s miniseries by me and CP Smith.

Above: a screengrab from the Marvel Hotline trailer, where I sum up the series pretty well, I think. Go there and spend one minute forty seconds in Logan's and my world.

I should do some San Diego wrapup, but I'm still exhausted, especially after The Comic Book Club last night (which was awesome, as always). For now, big wet kisses to all the girls and boys I saw last weekend.

San Diego '09!

It’s the Happiest Time of the Year once again! I’ll be roaming around the convention for the entire time, but here’s where you’re guaranteed to find me:

Friday, July 24
6:30 - 7:30 PM
Room 3
Panel - Four Color Reality: Making Comics Relevant to Readers Across Cultures. How can the comic book industry connect with changing audiences—not just of diverse races and backgrounds, but of different cultural and national origins as well? Moderated by Jeff Yang (editor-in-chief, per seSecret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology). Panelists include Dwayne McDuffie, Gail Simone, Gene Yang, Jai Nitz, and me. I might even have free copies of The 99 to give away. So come out and show some love to the token white guy!



Saturday, July 25
11:00 AM - 12:00 Noon
Booth #2001
Ait/PlanetLar - Signing with Ryan Kelly. Come by and pick up a copy of our political satire GIANT ROBOT WARRIORS, and see what the superstar artist of Local and New York 4 did before all that Vertigo stuff!



Sunday, July 26
12:00 Noon - 1:00 PM
Booth #2429
Marvel Comics - Signing. Bring your WOLVERINE NOIR comics and ask me what I’m doing next with Marvel. And remember: It’s not a complete collection unless you have copies with all the variant covers signed by the writer.

(Artwork: Private Detective Jim Logan, then and now, by the astounding CP Smith. From WOLVERINE NOIR #4, on sale July 29th.)

Me @ Comic Book Club 7/28/09

Announcement: I'll be appearing at the Comic Book Club Live, a New York-based comedy/talk show, on Tuesday, July 28th, 2009. I've done this show before -- it's funny as hell, and the hosts really keep things moving. And it's only five bucks American!

I'll talk about the final issue of WOLVERINE NOIR, shipping the following day, and probably reveal dark secrets about upcoming projects from Marvel and elsewhere. (Snikt.) Not sure who else will be guest-starring this week, but I can tell you that the show happens less than 24 hours after I get home from Comicon San Diego. So odds are I'll be babbling like an ape.

Follow the link for more info, but here's the salient:

Tuesday, July 28th
8:00 pm

The Peoples Improv Theater
154 West 29th Street, 2nd Floor
New York City

Come on out or else Wolverine gets it!
