So here we are, 67 percent funded after eight days of the “ABC Disgusting” Kickstarter. And artist Takeshi Miyazawa is on fire, filling my email box with new pencils and inks every day. This is the most adorably repulsive art I’ve ever seen, and I love it. Please do visit the page and back us — heroically gross effort like Tak’s must not go unrewarded!
And now feast your eyes on the latest and greatest — B is for Bug Juice and A is for Anchovy Ice Cream.
Brian Truitt interviewed me about “Kingsway West” for USA Today — and previewed three pages of gorgeous interior art by Mirko Colak, with colors by Wil Quintana!
“Batman/Superman” #22 hits stores this Wednesday! The next big chapter in the Truth storyline, exploring the evolving relationship between the “new” Superman and the new Batman. Words by yours truly, art by Ardian Syaf, gorgeous colors by Dean White and Beth Sotelo, and letters by Rob Leigh.
This is almost hard to believe, but the entire “Superman: Doomed” storyline, written by yours truly, Charles Soule, and Scott Lobdell, is now just $4.99 digitally at Comixology — down from $39.99. I have no idea how long this sale will last, so I’d jump on it immediately if I were you. Have fun!

Yesterday, artist Takeshi Miyazawa and I launched a Kickstarter for ABC Disgusting, a children’s book that tells the story of a boy trying to gross his sister out with an alphabetical list of disgusting things. The art is by the same stellar art team behind The Princess Who Saved Herself and Code Monkey Save World, and the book’s already 39 percent funded! But we absolutely can use your backing and think you’ll get a big kick out of the book — please do check it out!
Rewards include the book itself; the book with a whoopie cushion (natch); custom, limited edition crochet dolls of the book’s main characters; and the chance to have yourself drawn into the book as a zombie.
For more about the book, check out the following interviews and articles from Comics Alliance, Angry Asian Man, and CBR.
Thanks so much for your consideration!
I’ll be signing and selling books in Artists’ Alley at Eternal Con in Long Island this Saturday and Sunday. The con looks like a blast — it takes place in the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City (in the actual museum!) and the guest list includes great folks like Larry Hama, John Romita, Jr., Amy Reeder, Sean Chen, Marguerite Bennett, Frank Barbieri, and Frank Tieri.
I’ll also have fresh-off-the-presses copies of The Princess Who Saved Herself to sell, so dontcha dare miss it!
