Off to Neverland!

Last night Nicoletta and I saw 'Peter Pan' the musical at the Madison Square Garden Theater. Man, I forgot how much fun it is to be a kid for a little while, and how much I love the world of Peter Pan. Pirates, Indians, aerial sword-fights, and mermaids. That's all anyone needs this holiday season, really.

New York Times Best-Selling Author!

What?! How did that happen? I still can't believe it, but 'Gotham's Villains Unleashed' made it to the Graphic Picture Books list at #4.

This happened back in October, but better late than never. Kudos to everyone who worked on this project to make it awesome and even more to those who boosted the sales! It's pretty shocking to even be anywhere near such classics as Watchmen, Maus, and Scott Pilgrim, but here we are. DAMN!

Book Signing at NY Comic-Con!

I passed by the Capstone Booth to say hello to the wonderful editorial and design team promoting their latest titles. Turns out the legendary Art Baltazar was signing the books he illustrated and I was asked to sign the ones that I authored. What an experience! I was already geeking out to meet Art, but to sign books for fans of all ages ...at NY Comic-Con is beyond belief!!!!!
Thanks again to Art, Michael, Ali, Hilary, Brann and Donnie. You guys are the best!
