Again I have to say, Eisner noms…what were you thinking??? This is clearly THE PLACE for serious comics journalism.

There must be SOME kind of award I can win for blogging about covers while drunk. Surely that’s a THING, right?

It’s getting repetitive, but almost no missteps this month. Marvel is delivering fucking great covers, month after month. Good job, kids. WE HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD. OR SOMETHING...

Hmm. The Eisner nominations are out and Drunk Cover Solicits have been snubbed, AGAIN. I cannot imagine why!

A few trainwrecks, but some good/fun/pretty stuff this month. I feel like DC is really trying. They occasionally fail, but that’s to be expected of anyone. Yet again I am confronted with looking at a new way to make these solicits work cause it’s hard to be funny with these…DC (and especially...

This is what this is about.

Apparently, except for that one book I wrote in 2011 (and ended up loving) I am not destined to do these “novel in a month” things. Because when I do, my life fucking explodes – sometimes for good, sometimes for ill.

This time it was a little bit of both. There were some personal life things going on that made writing a lot of words a day difficult, but more importantly, as many of you already know, THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING got an awesom...

According to io9 she comes close!

“…Lola is, without hyperbole, one of the most fantastic antagonists I’ve ever had the pleasure to read.”

If you haven’t read Lola’s story yet in THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING, what are you waiting for?

Buy digital and paperback on Amazon, or limited edition illustrated hardcovers (and extras!) at: The Girl Who Would Be King.com

And for those of you that have read, but haven’t yet reviewed it…get on that!

Yessss!

Thank you again to Rob Bricken at io9, who says “The Girl Who Would Be King introduces the best superhero/villain pair in ages”

and “Lola is, without hyperbole, one of the most fantastic antagonists I’ve ever had the pleasure to read.” among other amazing things!

It was his rave review of TGWWBK on Thursday evening that gave us the big push we needed. Check out these awesome screen caps:

And in case you still don’t know where to get a copy – you can buy a kindle version or a paperback via...

Awesome news today, kids (and boy could I use it) – THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE KING got a rave review from io9′s Rob Bricken today!

Check it out.

Also, it’s probably a good time to re-post the trailer, in case you’ve missed it. Also, definitely make sure the sound is on, as the music by Speed Speed Speed makes it!

Oh – and I’m going to need to update the trailer with those amazing io9 quotes!

Running a little late today, but a new SHE HAS NO HEAD! about 10 ladies that are making a run for my “Top 20 Fictional Females In Comics” after great work with amazing creators over the last couple years.

There’s plenty to ridicule in this bunch, as per usual. But as I said over on the Marvel post – I’m considering doing these drunk solicits a bit differently in the future – if I continue them at all. So suggestions are welcome and encouraged. And here we go!

ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN. Nice Samnee illustration…but everyone’s been linking it to the Card fiasco, so I’m starting to hate it just from a Pavlovi...

Also, I’m actively taking suggestions in the comments for how to modify these “Drunk Solicits” going forward. Marvel has just upped their game so much that I feel the need to modify. I’ve thought about doing fewer and doing them individually…or doing them on tumblr…a few things. Lemme know if you’ve got a brilliant suggestion.

And congratulations to you, Marvel…you have officially ruined my fun! Bu...
