I don’t draw many comics these days with my writing and producing schedule eating up so much of the day. However, I did have the wonderful opportunity to draw a short sequence in Keith Giffen’s and JM Dematteis’s brilliant and hilarious HERO SQUARED. The TPB is out now from BOOM and I highly recommend picking up a copy! Joe Abraham’s art in this book is awesome.
Giffen’s TAG tpb came out last week from BOOM. Some really nice dark, horrific stuff in that little gem. And I got a story in there as well…
“BONUS: Included in TPB form for the first time as an “extra” is Giffen’s and my “10” one-shot — ten innocent people become unwilling contestants in a game of death. Given 10 bullets and a gun, it’s kill or be killed as they’re forced to hunt the other 10 contestants! In the dark, horrific tradition of Battle Royale!”
So pick up TAG and get a little 10! And check out Andy Kuhn’s stunning artwork on our story. That guy is amazing.
This June, Baen Books will be also publishing The Spider in a new trade paperback, The Spider: Robot Titans of Gotham. To help promote this event, Argosy Communications, Inc., owner of The Spider, is reviving the most cherished premium of the Pulp era: The Spider Ring!
The ring was designed by Chris Kalb who coordinated its manufacturing as well.
I got mine! Look for them at San Diego Comic Con where I’ll be in Komikwerks booth #2103. And check out this gorgeous Steranko cover. Between the awesome Moonstone SPIDER CHRONICLES I got to be a part of and this one, it’s a good year to be a fan of THE SPIDER.
Hard to believe it’s been a year since the last one. Anyhow, do yourself a favor and visit the D-Day/WWII museum in New Orleans. If ya can’t get visit, head to their online gift shop and purchase a tax deductible gift for yerself from their online store and support the museum and New Orleans at the same time. It’s a win for everyone!
Just wanted to say thanks to all the people that bought books and stopped by at the Kids Comic Con in the Bronx this weekend. Jason T. Kruse, Patrick Coyle, Dan Mishkin and I had a blast and are looking forward to next years show!
I just wanted to say thanks to all the kids at BARBARA BUSH ELEMENTARY. All of whom were courteous and downright friendly. Big ups to Michelle Aron (Teacher~Librarian~Media Specialist~Webmaster) for organizing the event. I had a great time talking about ZAPT! and all of the ACTIONOPOLIS books!
ATOMIC COMICS here in Arizona has a bevy of folks coming out to do signings. Check out the link for all the details. I’ll be signing at the Mesa store. Margaritas and sombreros are encouraged. Viva la Mexico, amigos!

I may have originally pitched Jason’s show years ago but this year it finally goes on the air! We’re writing scripts now and having a blast. Jason and I are both working on the show and it’s going to kick Saturday morning butt!
“KIDS’ WB! ON THE CW ADDS NEW ANIMATED
ACTION-ADVENTURE SERIES TO 2007-2008 LINEUP
Top-Rated Saturday Morning Kids Broadcast Network Bolsters Slate With “Eon Kid,” “Magi-Nation,” “World of Quest” and “Will & Dewitt” to Complement New Spider-Man Series & Returning Warner Bros. favorites.
BURBANK, CA (MARCH 29, 2007) – Kids’ WB! on The CW, the No.1 rated Saturday morning kids broadcast slate, will add five new animated series to its 2007-2008 lineup, it was announced today by Kids’ WB! Senior Vice President and General Manager Betsy McGowen.
Adventure and comedy make perfect partners when a spoiled young prince is unevenly paired with a square-jawed hero to defeat evil and restore order to their kingdom in “World of Quest.” When his parents are kidnapped by the nefarious Lord Spite, pampered Prince Nestor enlists the assistance of Quest, the planet’s greatest warrior. Quest is the only hero with enough strength, skill and courage to wield the Shatter Soul Sword, which is the only weapon that can defeat Lord Spite. However, the Sword is missing – and the prince, warrior and villain are all on a desperate mission to find it. Based on the KOMIKWERKS graphic novel series by Jason T. Kruse, “World of Quest” is produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment and premieres within the Kids’ WB! lineup in Fall 2007. Jason T. Kruse and Shannon Eric Denton will be actively consulting as well as writing on the series.”
I’ll be appearing at the KIDS COMIC CON. It will be held on the campus of the Bronx Community College, April 28.
Stop by and say howdy to myself and slew of other top notch comics folk!
“For a younger audience, the comic seems bullet proof. It’s hard to imagine a young reader not deriving some enjoyment from Zapt!’s speed, humor and well constructed narrative.”
Obviously, I’m very happy with this review. Looking forward to volume two hitting the shelves next week!
