The reviews for the Atomic Robo TPB are starting to roll in. Rogues Gallery, the Comic Book Bin, Geeks of Doom!, and The Trades. I’d like to show them too you -but WordPress is currently all jacked up and I can’t add links to anything.

HUGE thanks to Brian for updating WordPress for me, thus making this possible. I’m leaving the rest of the blog as it is due to time constraints, but I hope you enjoy the TPB reviews. (more…)

And as a result I’ve got nothing to show you. Emma is out of school, we spent a few wet and rainy hours at Goss Park, (because swim lessons are rain or shine), and I’ve been trudging through emails for a large part of the day.

I will post something about the Boston and New York trip later this week.

For now, just be amazed. Someone has finally done it; (more…)

The Atomic Robo Vol.1 TPB hits stores this Wednesday. Hooray for Trade Paperbacks, (otherwise known as “graphic novels” to the pretentious, hipster elite). I will be signing at New England Comics for a good chunk of the day this Wednesday. I’ll be at the Malden store from 11:30am-1:30pm, and then the Harvard store from 3:30pm-5:30pm. (more…)

Well the big fun this week was not one, not two, no, not even three, but FOUR trips to Nashua NH –the armpit of Southern New Hampshire. All of these trips were to the hospital for one reason or another. Don’t worry, no one is dead, or even sick. We just like hospitals.

And since gas hit $4.03 this weekend, who doesn’t want hours and hours of wasteful driving? (more…)

I just copied this directly from www.atomic-robo.com. Luckily, in the grand scheme of things, it’s pretty minor.

Atomic Robo and the Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne will be late. Our printer screwed up and there is no possible way for it to hit shelves June 11th as scheduled. It should arrive the following week, June 18th.

Team Robo turned in all materials to Red 5 on time and Red 5 turned in everything to the printer on time. The printer just misunderstood (or mistyped?) when they needed the job to be done and no one realized it until it was too late to do anything.

Not too happy about this, but I’m trying to be zen about the situation. We did everything right, what went wrong was out of our control, and getting heart-attackingly infuriated about it now won’t fix anything. Serenity now.

Most importantly: everyone who ordered our trade will be getting it. You’ll just get it a week later than expected. What really cheeses me off (sorry for the harsh language, there) is how unfair this is to the retailers where Scott and I were going to do signings. These folks have been plugging us and the trade’s date of release for weeks, and now they’ve got to say “just kidding!” Bleh.

Y’know what? Fig Newtons are delicious. I just thought I’d share that with you. After not tasting one of these little wonders for at least a few decades I’ve been snacking on them all week after the Widget declared that she didn’t like them any more, and indicated that I should stop putting them in her lunch.

Damn they’re tasty. (more…)
