For those of you heading to Wondercon next month, I will be making an appearance at the Oni table for an hour each day. Check in at Oni’s booth for times. Nothing new, I’m afraid, but be sure to get any books you don’t already have, or a piece of original art. Anyone who gives the code word “Sous Chef” gets a quick free sketch. (was just watching Ratatouille) If there are any Spaniards reading my blog, I will also be appearing at Festival Gótico in Málaga from the 26th through the 28th. The code word there is “Banderas”. Obviously.

So, I’ve been teasing you all with a big announcement for a couple of weeks. I was hoping for more fanfare, but since some of you folks are already on the edge of your seats, and some of you already read the Diamond catalog, I’ll go ahead and spill. As of last week, I’m officially drawing a DC comics back-up feature called The Coven, appear in the Teen Titans series. The Coven is about three teenage characters from the DC universe with off-the-charts magical abilities, and, of course, huge amounts of angst. The series is already solicited through Diamond Distribution, and should appear on the shelves of your local comic…

I’d like to thank the ever glamorous chronicler of the comic industry glitterati, Heidi McDonald, for posting about my latest scheme in  her Publishers Weekly blog, The Beat. I’d also like to thank Lan Pitts for passing my info on to the Batblog. And most recently, thanks Robot 6 at Comicbookresources.com for posting about it  as well. And especially for recreating my typos. I’m at your service for exclisice ntervieqs! Seriously, I had no idea there was so much good will out there. Thanks, everyone.
