Paradise Comics' Store Signing Went...

...well considering I was either coughing or blowing out phlegm at people. It was great to see people who read the first series jazzed about After the Cape II. I think people are going to fall in love with Sergio's art. Got some new people to pick up After the Cape: How Far to Fall trade, which I hope they enjoy. I ended up buying a few things myself (Damn you Doug! Heh.)

I can't thank everyone at Paradise Comics enough for their continued support. If you're looking for a great comic shop this is definitely one of them.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by. I appreciate all the kind words and continued support.

After the Cape II - Issue One Arriving NEXT week

So it was supposed to be out November 7th, but it's not. We got everything to the printers way on time, but still, things happen. From what I know, something happened between the printers and Diamond. All this means is that people will have to wait a week for the book to come, and for me to be at Paradise Comics to deface as many as I can while I'm there.

Oh well, these things happen. What can you do?

How the Signing at Chapters - Markham Went

They provided me with a table at the front of the store which was terrific and much appreciated. I was please to see so much interest with my first trade paperback from non-comic book readers. I got to sign many books, which I hope people will enjoy. Both the costumers and staff were friendly and kind. If I ever get a chance to sign there again, I definitely will.

Thanks to all the staff at Chapters for their support and helpfulness.
