This ‘n That…

I have maybe three minutes as Deuce and Mugsy devour their dinners to set down a couple notes… BLACK CANARY & ZATANNA – BLOODSPELL arrived on shelves this past week.  So far most folks seem to dig it.  Joe Quinones’ beautiful artwork adds a lot of character and class to the story.  BLOODSPELL was always intended to be a light-hearted romp and pretty much everyone has embraced the carefree tone of the book.  Maybe someday I’ll write a darker tale, but my thought process was geared for fun when I started writing the book, what, gad!  Eight years ago.  If you want to check it out, I’m sure your local comics store has copies, or you can buy it on Amazon, ( www.amazon.com/Black-Canary-Zatanna-Paul-Dini/dp/1401210546/ref=pd_rhf_se_s_t_1 ) or download it at Comixology. *** Speaking of Zatanna (or like Zatanna)  yes, I am that dork who insists on saying “Nepo emases!” when I enter the Magic Castle.  If you’ve been there, you understand what that means.  The looks I get from the staff are withering.  I can’t even describe my wife’s reaction.  Sorry folks, once a comic book geek… *** Up to my eyeballs in work this year, which is good.  Unfortunately most of what I have coming out won’t be ready for another year , so I have to keep a lid on talking about it until then.  Lots of stuff in the works, lots of different types of stuff. *** Misty and I saw GODZILLA.  We loved it. *** Looking forward to Comic Con in a couple of months.  I have nothing to announce, nothing to sign, nothing to promote and nothing to do except chat with friends by the pool and take my nephew to look at Star Wars stuff.  Sweet. *** Pups are done eating and pawing at me to come play.  So, it’s playtime.
