Remember two seconds ago when I was saying comics give and then they take. This would be the give part of that equation:
WOO!
Mark your calendars! February 23rd!
Not wild about how prevalent Bette Kane aka Flamebird seems in the solicit because that was the least interesting part of Kate’s Detective Comics arc to me, but I knew it was coming and I trust Williams III to do it well. Don’t let me down man! So excited.

So this is sort of cheating…again. But I’m sure when you take a look you can see why I didn’t want to separate these two completely fantastic DV8 #6 panels by Rebekah Isaacs. And in truth, I worked hard already on eliminating the rest of the book, which was so gorgeous that it had panels on literally every page that could have qualified for ‘panel of the week’. I love this book. I’m probably going to cry…or at least mourn in some way when this series is up in two months.
So here we go, from DV8 #8, with art by Rebekah Isaacs.

Sometimes belated birthday presents are even better than on time ones…especially when they are adorable plushie Batmans! Thanks Adam!

Kate Beaton’s Hark A Vagrant! has a new batch of awesome strips up. Check it out.
Also, Beaton rarely ever sells original art, but she has work available today via Web-Comics Auction For The Gulf. It will be her ALSO awesome Aquaman. Take a look (and click to enlarge):
Some awesome stuff has happened over the last few days…I’m going to pretend it’s all in honor of my birthday…some of it straight up is…the rest is a stretch… 
1. Tara O’Connor, writer and artist extraordinare (and aka gingercurls) did an AWESOME original sketch for my birthday of Rogue with her costume nice and zipped up…something I’m sure most of you are aware is a serious pet peeve of mine. Thank you Tara! Check it out! FYI – you can commission original work from Tara here.
I love the sound effect!
2. There’s been some serious movement on my book…the revision is locked and we’re preparing to sub to publishers. Slow and steady wins the race let’s hope, but I do hope to have some solid updates soon.
3. I did a fun birthday bit on She Has No Head! yesterday. And already Matt Southworth is helping my wishes come to fruition.
4. 5 Minute Marvels did a special “Kelly Birthday Post” drawing of the Tiny Titans – they look awesome. Thanks guys!
5. I also got a fantastic birthday sketch from my artist friend Ross Campbell…but I can’t show you guys that one yet as it relates to my novel. Perhaps I’ll post a teaser as things start to develop on that front.
comics, cake, champagne
6. There were a few of my favorite things…namely…comics, cake, and champagne (all c’s…weird) to be had at my house…not to mention the beginnings of Season 5 of The Wire since the weather was hideously gross and I had no desire to leave the house…but really…what could be better than all of that?
All in all…not too damn bad. Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes – and presents!
Revised and (when it comes to the hair) fully customized. Much better.

PS…I need to own these cartoon boots in my real life…
I know this blog has been all COMICS!!!!! lately, but it’s also been all WOMAN POWER!!! lately too, and so this post is more about the latter…but I’ll try to find a way to jam COMICS in there too. Here goes…in April, I, despite my reclusive nature, attended Hope Larson’s Drink And Draw Like A Lady East Event in Manhattan (and wrote about it here) and had the opportunity to meet a slew of interesting women. One of those women, the fantastic and charming Kristen Dolle, is the founder of a new media agency called Pink Brick House. Pink Brick House purports to be “The Future Of Women In Media” which, as you can imagine, is a concept I’m more than happy to get behind.
The last month has been incredibly busy for Pink Brick House as it has ushered in the launch of their website, real growth on Facebook, and most recently, a partnering with up and coming fashion company Sammy Davis Vintage for the event: STYLE AND PURPOSE in the East Village this Saturday.
So if you’re in the NYC area on Saturday June 19th, I urge you to check out the Style and Purpose Event, which is sure to be full of great fashion to buy, talented creative people to connect with, and certainly alcohol of some kind…and what’s better that for an afternoon in NYC?
The Details:
What: Style & Purpose Event: A Curated Sale
Who: Pink Brick House & Sammy Davis Vintage
When: Saturday, June 19th from 2-7pm
Where: 156 Second Ave, Apt 6B (entrance is on 10th St).
I know I already tweeted about this…but many of you don’t follow me on twitter yet (what’s up with that by the way?!) and quite frankly I’m still (a week later) thinking about how much I love it. Faith Erin Hicks Wolverine Short Story. It’s made of awesome.
Page 1 of Faith Erin Hicks Wolvie Story
The only thing I like more than “grouchy bathrobe wearing babysitting mutants Wolverine” is “happy to be running in a field with deer Wolverine”. The whole adorable story is here. Definitely check it out.
And if you’re not already following me on twitter…get on it!…@79SemiFinalist.
