Mega Man #55

Today, Mega Man #55 should be available to everyone. I know it’s gotten in the hands of subscribers and some have already gotten it digitally, but today should mark the day where everyone can grab it. This has been the only series I’ve been able to totally call my own, and it’s been an honor and a privilege to work on it. I’ve worked with many incredibly talented people through Mega Man. I’ve met many amazing, passionate fans. I got to (indirectly) work with The Megas. It’s been a wild, wonderful experience.

As you go through Mega Man #55, I hope you take your time with each page. Each one was meticulously crafted, some taking two pages to script, packed with subtle details and hints of what I’d hoped to accomplish over the coming years. I really hope you all enjoy this final, loving send-off to not only the comic, but to the franchise on a whole.

I don’t know what the future holds for Mega Man comics. If and when they return, I really hope to be a part of them. Until then, we have the new cartoon to look forward to. And who knows? Maybe one day Volnutt will get off the moon, and we’ll be waiting for him with new comics in hand. Hope springs eternal.

Radio Interview with Geek Beat Radio

Bostonians!

…and everyone else with an internet connection!

I’ll be appearing on Geek Beat Radio (or “geekbeatradio,” as they seem to prefer it) on Monday, Oct. 6th at 10:00 PM EST.  We’ll be talking primarily about Mega Man, but knowing how my interviews go, we’ll most likely wander off into all sorts of discussion territory.

Podcasts, streams and more are available on their website:

Fan Expo ’12 and New Crusaders Signing

Remember when I said Heroes Con would likely be my only public appearance?

No? – Good!  I never said it.
Yes? – Well now you know I’m a dirty liar.  No-People, please disregard this line.

I’ll be present at the Archie booth at Fan Expo in Toronto, Ontario (Canada) from Thursday Augusts 23rd to Sunday August 26th.  You can check out their website here: http://www.fanexpocanada.com/

I’ll have just enough time to visit The Ex and catch my breath before swooping out to Midtown Comics in New York City.  I’ll be signing the premier of the first printed issue along with other creatives from New Crusaders on Saturday, September 8th from 1PM-3PM.

Do keep in mind that Fate is a fickle mistress, so times and events may change.  But if I’m posting it here, then it’s pretty sure to be a lock.

Thanks and see you there!
