Woo. Been very busy. Here’s some stuff I’ve been up to, please check out anything that appeals to you! 
I wrote about The Hunger Games for Lit Reactor. It went up yesterday and it’s a “Book vs. Film” piece…so you just know that’s going to be fun!
Oh yeah, I reviewed some book you guys might have heard about – Avengers vs. X-Men #1 — for CBR, it’s up now.
I wrote a review last week for CBR for The New Deadwardians #1, which was excellent, and I urge you to check out the book.
I also wrote a review for Daredevil #10, which if you’re not on board with already, you should get on now! Very good stuff.
I was a guest on the excellent Hideous Energy podcast last week to talk more about Wonder Woman #7 and a bunch of other awesome (and not awesome) things – it’s one of my favorite podcasts yet – so please give a listen!
All of you know how I love (and hate) comic book covers, so if you haven’t already, make sure to check out this week’s She Has No Head! which features 25 of the best superheroine comic covers of the past year.
OH! And I got this 100 kinds of awesome nomination from Hooded Utilitarian for “Best Online Comics Criticism for 2012”…I’m pretty much in there among giants, so it’s just an honor to be mentioned in the same post with them.
I’ve mentioned before that I have an essay called “I am Sisyphus, and I am Happy” in the new book Chicks Dig Comics from Mad Norwegian Press, a certain 3 Chicks Review Comics co-host also has a piece in the book and we are sandwiched in there with some truly epic people including Gail Simone, Jill Thompson, Colleen Doran, Marjorie Liu, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, Jen Van Meter, Carla Speed McNeil, Terry Moore, Jill Pantozzi, and so many more! So check that out if you haven’t already – it releases on April 10th.
Oh, and a new Audioshocker “Podcast with Ross & Nick” is up – I chat with Nick and Ross about “continuous on-tap properties” and fans reactions to them.
And of COURSE you all have your copies of Womanthology, right?!

So yeah. I wrote this thing about the latest Wonder Woman controversy for She Has No Head! this week. I hope you’ll all go read it, because I feel strongly about it and it’s liable to stir up yet another shit storm and I’m sure I’m going to need all the support I can get. Comments, welcome, and much needed! Thanks guys.
For those of you expecting 3 Chicks today, we’ll be back in April with two new episodes and two AMAZING guest stars. Stay tuned!
Diana is tired. Me too.
We talk about Womanthology, the comic mini-series I’m working on Heart In A Box, both of my novels, the difference of writing comics and writing about comics, and a whole slew of other things ranging from the marketing problems of comics to Treat Williams’ beard. It’s my first actual podcast interview, so you should all check it out, if only to say “I KNEW HER WHEN!” – yes, as we discuss on the podcast I am suffering from delusions of grandeur!
You can also follow James and Brandon on twitter and of course read Comics! The Blog anytime.
Enjoy!
I wrote an advance review of Saga #1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples for Lit Reactor.
Head on over and check it out. Please retweet, comment, and like as if there’s no tomorrow!

So, I’ve begun writing columns for Lit Reactor, a really great site for writers (and readers) that’s full of wonderful columns, as well as resources for writers. I’ll be primarily writing about comics, tag teaming it with another columnist. However, I’ll also be writing a series of essays about my experiences with my novel and getting an agent, so for those of you interested in that aspect of my work, those pieces might be something a little different.
My first piece, titled 10 Graphic Novels For The Literary Minded went up today, so check it out now. Next week will see the first installment of my essay about publication (or lack thereof!). So follow Lit Reactor on twitter, and keep your eyes peeled for my pieces.
Thanks everyone!
