I’d heard it was a great show, and the Baltimore Comicon certainly lived up to the hype. Promoter Marc Nathan and his staff were incredibly kind, attentive and welcoming, and I’d love to return next year.  A fitting end to the convention season…

I’ll be attending the Baltimore Comic-Con this weekend.  I’ve heard nothing but great things about this show, and the guest list is incredible. Plus, Jim Lee is throwing out the first pitch at the Orioles game on Friday! I’ll be drawing and signing comics all weekend, and doing a special signing with Indigo Ink Printing, complete with limited edition art print,  at 4pm on Saturday.

Also, this week sees the release of the Green Arrow & Black Canary Wedding Album, which collects (among other things) my first 4 issues of GA&BC.  This is my first hardcover collection and I’m eager to see how it turned out.

UPDATE: Looks like they pushed the book to October 8. Not my fault! I turned all the pages last year, I swear!

Green Arrow & Black Canary #12 is on sale this week. I had a couple different ideas how to show Black Canary’s cry, but in the end I went the most direct.  There was a more graphic version with lots of concentric rings, but it kinda made me go cross-eyed and into seizures.

Secret Six #1 is on sale this week.  I was only able to do the first 2 covers, but it looks like interior artist Nicola Scott has the cover gig after that (as she should!).  This group of characters has had wonderful covers from JG Jones and Karl Kerschl, so I was pretty flattered when I was asked to help kick off the new series. If you look over here at my message board, you’ll find the original and unused cover sketches too. Best of luck to Gail and Nicola!
