School daze

Yep, just completed our first week of kindergarten for our eldest daughter Lily (5 at the time, but just turned 6 yesterday). That first day (and some the rest of the week), there was a lot of sobbing and tears over the start of “real” school, as opposed to preschool. No, Lily did just fine [...]

Wizard World Chicago wrap-up

Spent close to an hour talking to George Khoury today, who just got back from handling our booth at Wizard World Chicago for us. From what George says, it was definitely one of the slower Chicago shows of recent years. Since Wizard continually insists on having theirs right after Comicon, it’s no wonder WW seems [...]

Mike Wieringo’s passing

I didn’t know Mike Wieringo personally, but like the rest of the comics community, I was totally shocked Monday to hear he’d died of a heart attack. Here’s a guy only 44 years old (same age as me; there’s some food for thought), totally dedicated to his art, who apparently lead a very healthy lifestyle. [...]

Jonathan Ross’ Ditko documentary

Finally got to view the “In Search Of Steve Ditko” documentary by British TV commentator Jonathan Ross the other night. Jonathan was kind enough to drop off a DVD of it at our Comicon booth, and I found it immensely entertaining. It was a riveting hour-long look at Ditko’s career that I hope will soon [...]

Image epilogue

It (along with links to the actual panel) is at:

Just an aside: I used to get all my comics from Westfield back in college, and their customer service was always exemplary. Great company!

New stuff’s in the mail

All our newest books and mags are now officially in the mail, including the limited edition of the John Romita…And All That Jazz hardcover (52 copies, with custom Romita sketches in each; sorry folks, they sold out quickly). So if you’ve been patiently waiting while we get caught up on shipping after Comicon, look for [...]

Back in the saddle

After a week of vacation, we’re back at TwoMorrows HQ, to a huge pile of orders and emails. So I’ll have to ask everyone’s patience, as we slowly dig out of the rubble. We hope to have everything caught up by week’s end, including shipping of all our new publications that were released over the [...]
