Writing update and blather.

As previously said, "8 Poems and A Story" was published this past week and is selling well. I say that, but have no gauge for this kind of stuff really. But hey, I'm pleased.

Population 1, due for sale in Autumn, is coming along very well. Al has been working like a madwoman to create pages, and so far we're at the half way mark. If this one works out, we'll be looking at hopefully a really fun run of story from here.

I'm currently laying out ideas for a follow up to both, as well as a few other stories, so here's hoping for movement in that degree as well.

Morrisoncon looms, and so project Readalotofstuff is in full swing. This past week I finished all of Jonathon Hickman's creator owned work. It's been said, and I'm late to the party at that, but Nightly News is a masterpiece. Alike to stuff like Transmetropolitan and The Invisibles, it makes you mad. It gets you thinking and makes you give a fuck. That's an ideal, not only in comics, but in writing that is extremely attractive.

I'll be re-reading The Invisibles as well, probably as much of Morrison's work as possible, so keep and ear out for me to bullshit about that.

But let's talk about comics! I'd love to talk about new titles, recommend me something and let's start giving a fuck!
