A brief update all around, plus a few "sneak peeks"…

SITE ADDENDUMS

For those keeping score, May 2003 comic book solicitations have been added to the previews listings.

And, as usual the comicography includes cover images and credits for several recent or soon-to-be released comic books.

BATGIRL SCORES HAT TRICK!

As of this writing, the first three issues of DC Comics' BATGIRL YEAR ONE have all sold out through Diamond Comics Distributors.

On behalf of collaborators Chuck and Marcos, I'd like to thank everyone for their generous support of this book.

I understand that orders are up for issue #4 so far… and that DC currently has no plans to reprint the sold-out issues, so your best bet is to pick 'em up wherever you find 'em.

I personally signed 200 copies of issue #1 available through Dynamic Forces. Otherwise, it's catch as catch can for the initial chapters of the 9-part mini-series.

As I've previously mentioned on the message board, if DC decides to go back to press, I'll certainly make it known here ASAP.

SUMMER CONVENTION SCHEDULE

A big hello to the fans I met at the MegaCon in Orlando!

While it was nice to enjoy a little Floridian warmth, I'm back at work in the chilly Northeast and beginning to finalize my convention schedule for a (hopefully) more seasonable summer.
The tentative slate includes…

WIZARD WORLD PHILADEPHIA - May 30th to June 1st

SCRANTON COMIC BOOK CONVENTION - June 22nd

SAN DIEGO COMIC CON INTERNATIONAL - July 17th to 20th

WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO - August 8th to 10th

Hope to see you during one or more of the shows!

ON THE COVER

Finally, I've got some new behind-the-scenes material in the works for the next update.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with advance looks at two comic book covers for July 2003 solicitations, specifically for RUSE #21 and BATGIRL YEAR ONE #7.

Otherwise, see you on the message board!

 

Best,

Scott
