Ordered some ashcans off of ComiXPress of the Chapter 1 preview for Free Comic Book Day (FCBD) on May 1, 2010. I shall most probably be giving these away at my awesome local comic book store That’s Entertainment in Worcester, MA on FCBD 2010.

Mumbai Confidential Ashcans for FCBD 2010
The AVATAR Experience
“Dude, I ain’t watching DANCES WITH THE SMURFS 3D!”

Trolling on GreatBong’s site – an interesting social experiment

comic books I read – a (non-comprehensive) list

So when someone asks me what books you like to read, it’s pretty tough to just say one or even five/six names. Currently my pull/read list consists of THE BOYS by Garth Ennis, AIR by G. Willow Wilson and UNWRITTEN by Mike Carey. Some of the other comics that I’ve read and really enjoyed (listed in no particular order) :
More Toughguys with guns
I just can’t stop drawing these
