OUR FAVORITE REDHEAD

One more summer release, on sale tomorrow: Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger is a one-shot anthology celebrating 60 years of one of comics most dynamic and memorable female characters. My story—beautifully illustrated by Andrea Broccardo—picks up on a plot element from my second Spectacular Spider-Man run, as MJ deals with the fallout of her confrontation with the Chameleon. You can see the list of other contributors below. I'm delighted to be in such impressive company. 

If you're an MJ fan—I have to say it—you've just hit the jackpot. 

CRUSADING

Tomorrow is the day when the long-awaited second season of Batman: Caped Crusader arrives on Amazon Prime. My episode—I believe it's the fifth in the season—is called "The Spectral Hand" and it's a Christmas tale, but this being Gotham don't expect angels and hot chocolate. This one gets very strange. 

Hope you all enjoy my contribution—and the entire season from Bruce Timm, James Tucker, Geoff Thorne and the whole Bat-crew.

HIS MIGHTY SHIELD

Had a great chat with the guys at the Captain America Fans Podcast—talking about Cap, the Kraven What If?, Rocket Rewind, and much more. You can watch it below.

Enjoy!

POST-GALACTIC

A great weekend at Galaxycon Raleigh—meeting heartfelt fans, seeing old friends (like Bob Budiansky, Ralph Macchio (the editor, not the Karate Kid), Ron Marz and more) and, best of all, hanging out with my beautiful daughter (and brilliant booth assistant), Katie.

Next up, in September: DragonCon and FanX Salt Lake.  There might be one more convention later in the year, but that's still up in the air.

TOMORROW!

Two books coming tomorrow from Marvel:  What If...? Spider-Man—with extraordinary art by Yildiray Cinar—which revisits Kraven's Last Hunt and asks the question "What if Kraven survived his last hunt?"...

..and Rocket Rewind, which features the first ever meeting of Rocket Raccoon and his progenitor Rocky Raccoon. (Read the story and you'll understand.) This wonderfully absurd tale is perfectly illustrated by my old friend and collaborator Shawn McManus.

Hope you enjoy them both!

THIS WEEK!

It's almost time for GalaxyCon Raleigh! As the hipsters (well, the ones from the 1950s) say: "Be there or be square!"

UNDERGROUND

Had an interesting chat with the guys at the Illustrated Underground Podcast, talking about everything from my work back in the 80s to my recent time travel novel Dark Future. You can watch it below. Enjoy!
