Howdy.
Tomorrow (8/13), a whole mess of comics with my name on them comes out, so I have lots of previews for you this week, starting with:
SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE #4
Gerardo Sandoval and Victor Nava join the series to help spell regular artist Kaare Andrews. Per usual, AIPT has a preview:
STAR WARS: JEDI KNIGHTS #6
I thought this was going to come out last week, but its release seems to have shifted a week. Oh well.
One of the fun aspects of this issue is that it takes place on the planet Mina-Rau, from Andor Season 2. And sharp-eyed readers will also notice a High Republic-era shuttle from The Acolyte. AIPT has a preview:
BRING ON THE BAD GUYS: THE RED SKULL
This is the antepenultimate issue of the Bring on the Bad Guys event and, per usual, I’ve written a 5-page backup story. I’ve gotten to know the writer of the main story, Stephanie Phillips, over the years at various conventions and she’s as delightful as she is talented and she crushed this story.
This preview brought to you by Flickering Myth:
And here’s the preview of my five-pager:
MORE COMICS
A couple of weeks ago, I had a similar three-issue comic book week. The fun thing is that all three books made that week’s top-10 bestseller list according to Bleeding Cool:
BILLY JOEL: AND SO IT GOES
Most anyone who knows me — or this newsletter — knows that I’m a massive Billy Joel fan. (Being from Long Island, this is required by municipal ordinance.) HBO has a new, 5-hour, 2-part documentary out called Billy Joel: And So It Goes.
It will come as no surprise to anyone that I enjoyed it immensely. But what particularly tickled me is that Part 2 begins with a glimpse of me attending Billy’s 100th career performance at Madison Square Garden:
Blink and you’ll miss me.
Be good to each other.
