Big news! I’ve opened the Greg Pak Shop, an online store where you can buy signed copies of my books!
If you place an order by the end of day, Friday, December 12, we’ll do our best to get it to you before Christmas. Hot tickets right now include the signed “Code Monkey Save World” graphic novel, available here for the first time in an online store, and signed copies of “Storm” #1.
Enjoy!
I’ll be a guest at the Comic Book Club live show in New York City at 7 pm on Tuesday, December 9. It’s at Fontana’s Bar, 105 Eldridge Street between Grand and Broome, and it’s FREE!
It’s a fun show that I’ve done many, many times over the years. It’s a talk show format, with lots of hijinks and laughs and audience participation and even a bit of serious comics talk!
I’ll also have copies of “Code Monkey Save World” and maybe “Make Comics Like the Pros” for sale!
Come see, come see!

If you missed out on snagging a T-shirt during the “Code Monkey Save World” Kickstarter, this is your lucky week! We’ve launched a Teespring campaign where you can order T-shirts, long sleeved tees, and even hoodies.
So if you have a Code Monkey in your life who needs a shirt or hoodie, check out the campaign today!
Teespring also says T-shirts will be delivered to US addresses 7-10 days after the campaign ends on December 17, so while we can’t guarantee it, there’s a decent chance the shirts will arrive before the holidays.

“Action Comics” #37 hits stores this Wednesday. Check out the preview at ComicVine!
The issue continues the “Horrorville” storyline we began last month, with Superman investigating creepy goings-on in Smallville. And yes, things get a lot worse for everyone involved.
Gorgeous art by Aaron Kuder, as usual — who goes one step further with a new style for some crucial flashback pages. Colors by Wil Quintana and editing by Eddie Berganza.
Ask your local shop to hold you a copy!
Got my comps of “Action Comics, Volume 5, What Lies Beneath” in the mail over the weekend, and I’m pretty darn thrilled with how it all looks. This is Aaron Kuder’s and my first story arc on “Action Comics,” featuring the rise of the mysterious Subterraneans, the reintroduction of Lana Lang, and the debut of Ghost Soldier and Harrow. The book also includes the “Secret Origins” story Lee Weeks and I did that retells Superman’s origin from the point of view of his two mothers.
Gorgeous colors throughout primarily by Wil Quintana. Additional art from Scott McDaniel, RB Silva, and Mike Hawthorne.
Super proud of the book. Hope you’ll consider picking it up! I believe it hits comic book shops on Christmas Eve — not a bad last-minute gift!
Just noticed that Comixology is running a Valiant sale that includes both volumes of my “Eternal Warrior” book! You can get each volume for a ridiculously low price — $3.99 for the first volume and $4.99 for the second. Check out all the Valiant books on sale here!
And I’m just gonna say it: the second volume, featuring the “Eternal Emperor” post-disaster story set in the future that I did with artist Robert Gill, is one of my favorites of all the things I’ve written in the past few years. Loved every minute of working on this story arc. We got to tell a mind-bending story set 2000 years in the future that introduces a whole new world along with a brand new character, Gilad’s granddaughter. Robert’s art is just amazing — it thrilled me and it even broke my heart a little in just the right places.
Earlier this week, a few amazing writers and bloggers started the #SaveStorm hashtag on Twitter to spread the word about the “Storm” series I’m writing for Marvel.
And yesterday Marvel responded with a very special giveaway! Until December 1, you can download the first issue of “Storm” for FREE via the Marvel app and on Comixology! See the image above for all the details — and enjoy!
Get “Storm” #1 for free at Comixology here – use promo code STORMCHASERS upon checkout!
And check out the interview I did with Vixen Varsity about the book and the #SaveStorm campaign!
Just noticed that “Doctor Strange Season One,” the original graphic novel about Strange’s and Wong’s early days, is 80 percent off in digital form at Comixology today! Pick it up this $19.99 book for just $3.99 right here!
I won’t lie — I kind of love this book. I had a huge amount of fun writing it and Emma Rios (whom you might know from “Pretty Deadly”) drew the heck out of it, with colors by the great Jordie Bellaire. It’s completely accessible to brand new readers, so if you’re curious about who this Dr. Strange guy is anyway, this is your book. At the same time, we do some fun things with Strange’s origin story that long-time readers should get a kick out of — including giving Wong a lot more agency and sexiness.
Here’s the official blurb:
A window-crashing, high-flying, globe-traveling, ghost-battling adventure from the earliest days of Doctor Strange’s training in the mystic arts! Part Indiana Jones, part Lord of the Rings, thrill to this new tale of how a selfish, arrogant surgeon collided with a hot-headed martial artist to become the greatest team the mystic arts have ever seen!
I’ve got two big books in stores today! Call your local store and ask them to hold you a copy or buy ’em digitally at Comixology!
“Batman/Superman” #16, drawn by Ardian Syaf, starts a brand new storyline that asks “Who is Superman’s Joker?” Pretty darn excited about this. Ardian’s our new ongoing artist, and he’s amazing — combining some of that fine detail of Jim Lee with the expressive character work of a Kubert. Inks by Sandra Hope Archer and David Meikis, colors by Ulises Arreola, letters by Rob Leigh, and editing by Eddie Berganza. Check out the preview here!
“Storm” #5 features our hero cutting loose in the death fields of the Four Clans — possibly risking her own soul while finishing her dead lover Wolverine’s dangerous business. Art by the always stunning Victor Ibañez, inks by Victor and Craig Yeung, colors by Ruth Redmond, letters by Joe Sabino, and editing by Daniel Ketchum. Check out the preview here.
Hope you enjoy!
