A slew of people have messaged me about the Hollywood Reporter article posted earlier today discussing a new Conan the Barbarian movie.

Obviously I'd love to see our Cimmerian return to the silver screen, but beyond that I don't know details and can't substantiate any of it right now. Sorry!

REVIEW: The Birth of a Terrible New Foe in Conan the Barbarian #29 — Comic Book Clique Conan of Cimmeria. A barbarian, a thief, a pirate, a king.  A man with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth.   A man who does not appear at all in Conan the Barbarian #29.   I...

My review of #ConanTheBarbarian issue 29 by @jimzub.bsky.social is up on @comicbookclique.bsky.social - in a word, if you like #fantasy or #Conan - read it.

We did other parodies during SK arc 4, which is also where we did five "new #1 s in five issues to make fun of constant reboots.

Touchdown Toronto!
Had a great time at ECCC, but very eager to get home.

Thanks!
It was the only variant we did for Skullkickers #1 first print in 2010, back when creator-owned titles doing variants at all was still a novelty.

So great meeting you and getting to participate. It was such a fun panel and its momentum really carried through the weekend!

About to board my flight, a person heading past the Gate high fives me and says "Convention Horror Stories is the funniest panel I have ever seen. I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe!"

Great final moment to cap off ECCC.

Thank you, Seattle!

Seattle-
Emerald City Comic Con still sparkles.

Thank you for another incredible year! Great interactions, amazing food, and friends aplenty.

Seattle has always been so good to me.

This city, this show.

Year after year.

Manager at the pub I'm at for lunch used to help run a booth for webcomics pals back in the early days of internet comics (2003-ish) and she recognized me. We had a great chat.

I finish up, and she comped the whole meal + drink.

Really blown away.
I am so fortunate.

Sorry you missed out. If you're at the show tomorrow please come on by.

This is the 14th annual Convention Horror Stories panel at ECCC and, as the panel title states, it's become a show tradition, with anecdotes that shock and delight the standing-room-only audience.

Get there early if you want a seat.

Make your own convention traditions. No one can stop you.

Make memories.
Make friends.

You can't control career, success or legacy, all you can do is your best and keep telling stories.

Miss YOU

Sacrificing souls on the Altar of Rock.

Once is a thing.

Twice is an event.

Thrice is a habit.

After that it's a tradition.

This Thursday night tradition started many years ago because we were comic newbies who couldn't get invited to industry meet-ups and now it's the pro hangout with all our friends. Surreal.
