IT'S ALL HAPPENING! IT'S ALL HAPPENING!
No, seriously, all of it. At the same time.
CAPTAIN MARVEL 9 is out tomorrow. It's a good jumping on point and a really fun issue, so even if you're not already a member of the Carol Corps -- if you're at all Carol-curious, I encourage you to check it out. David Lopez ups his game literally every issue (Wait until you see what he's done on Issue 11. Jeepers.) and, you know, I'd like to think I brought it for this one. Most of the issue is written in RHYME for heaven's sake. There's a preview right here.
PRETTY DEADLY VOL 2/ISSUE 6 is in the works. I'm in the middle of writing a death scene right now. Oh, and that tree? In the script it says something like, "I dunno... maybe it's in a tree?" This is Emma Ríos's version of "maybe a tree"? That woman. This book. My heart.
PROMETHEUS FIRE AND STONE: OMEGA should be off my desk today -- I'm gonna miss it. I've really enjoyed this project.
Oh, and FINAL ORDER CUT OFF for BITCH PLANET #1 is the 17th -- that's next week. So if you're thinking you'd like to pre-order, PLEASE TO BE DOING THAT NOW.

If you're joining us for Avengers Half Marathon hijinks, there's a Carol Corps page for it on Facebook. I think folks are co-ordinating there. I'll be WALKING and I love company, so we can walk and talk together. I might break into a jog every now and then. But mostly not. Progress not perfection, right? Carol Corps Saturday meet up and cheering squad info is here.
Ed and Carter Peterson came into town and took some new professional photos of us last weekend. I was SUPER NERVOUS but they came out GREAT! That up there, that's one -- YOU GUYS MY BOOBS LOOK AWESOME. (NOTE: This is not an invitation/opening for you to comment on my boobs. They're my boobs. I can talk about them. You can't. I will stab you. Through the internet. I have that power.)
Oh speaking of stabbing, I think Greg Rucka and I are going to take sword-fighting lessons together. That's gonna be fine, right? As short tempered as both Greg and I are, what could possibly go wrong...?
Back on the home front Tallulah has decided she wants to take violin lessons. She starts the Saturday after next. Henry Leo starts swimming January.
