Womanthology Preview – SuperLess Hero

December 1, 2011 in awesomeness, comics, publishing, womanthology, writing | 7 comments

The Womanthology Tumblr is doing some wonderful previews of the book. And today Stephanie Hans and my story, SuperLess Hero went up. Head on over to see the first two pages! And keep going back to see more as pages continue to go up.

Also, I’m pretty sure SuperLess Hero is the first story in the book…which is pretty damn awesome.

Holy Crap Kids!

I almost missed it! We just cruised past 1,000,000 hits today!

Remember when THIS was an accomplishment back in 2010?

Thanks for all the support – you’ve all been awesome. Here’s to the next million!

The Jilted League says "Woo!" Also, when 1,000,000 hits comes in November during NaNoWriMo there's no time for a new illustration...just some spray paint effects!

Womanthology News!

July 19, 2011 in awesomeness, books, comics, idw, writing | 2 comments

So a few pieces of news relating to Womanthology (and yours truly).

First of all, Womanthology is at over $62,000, with 18+ days still to go. If you haven’t donated yet, get on over there!

Secondly, I will have a four page story in volume one, with art by the absolutely sublimely talented Stephanie Hans, so if you weren’t already interested, aren’t you NOW?

Lastly, I was interviewed, along with mastermind Renae De Liz and editor/artist Jessica Hickman for a Publishers Weekly article about Womanthology for an article that came out on Monday, so check that out too.

Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive through all of this, it’s pretty damn exciting.

Womanthology!

July 7, 2011 in awesomeness, comics, comics news, idw, kickstarter | 6 comments

Help make this amazing all female anthology – WOMANTHOLOGY – the vision of artist Renae De Liz – a reality via kickstarter.

Tons of great female talent is already on board, both new upcoming talent and long and awesomely established talent – including Gail Simone, Devin Grayson, Fiona Staples, Ming Doyle, Stephanie Buscema, Mariah Huehner, Collen Doran, Chrissie Zullo, Ann Nocenti, Trina Robbins, and so many more. IDW is publishing, and they’ve raised 20% of their funds in the first three hours, so get on board while there’s still time!

Yours truly is hoping to be involved, but I missed the cut off to write for this first issue, so I may have to wait till the second round. Despite all that…you should support it anyway. It’s a great thing, and I expect some amazing stories.

Help make it possible by donating to Kickstarter today!
