The New Awesome

Out today: CAPTAIN AMERICA: WHO WON'T WEAR THE SHIELD?, a never-to-be-repeated one-shot featuring:

The gritty new adventures of FORBUSH-MAN, by Jason Aarons and Mirco Pierfederici!

The trippy debut of DOCTOR AMERICA, by Matt Fraction and Brendan McCarthy!

And my own contribution: The collectors' item first app of THE GOLDEN AGE DEADPOOL, with art by Joe Quinones!



It's a heartbreaking story of two World Wars and one madman who coughs a lot. Plus it makes fun of some of some revered old Captain America stories.

See a preview of all three stories here. Then go to your local comic shop for the main feature. Don't wait for the iPad version...all your friends will laugh at you. Laughter. It hurts, doesn't it?

C2E2 in Chicago: Signing This Weekend

Quick note: This weekend is C2E2, the big new Chicago comics convention from Reed Exhibitions, who've been running the great New York show for the past few years. I'll be signing at the Marvel Comics booth, #758, on Saturday, April 17th, from 2:00 to 3:00. Come on by with copies of CLOAK & DAGGER, CYCLOPS, WOLVERINE NOIR, or hell, GIANT ROBOT WARRIORS if you've got it.

Or just say hi and ask for the ultimate secret of the comics industry. I've never given it away before, but you never know. This might be the day.

Go here for Marvel's full signing schedule.
