It's Wednesday.....

http://www.usatoday.com/life/comics/2009-07-07-superman1_N.htm

OK, so today is Wednesday Comics day. The first issue should be at your local shop right about now. The first Superman strip by the amazing Mr. John Arcudi and yours truly can also be found in today's copy of USA Today, and at their website via the url posted above. I know, I know... this sounds like a commercial, but realize that if you pick this up you're also getting a boat load of other stories by creators far better than myself. I personally can't think of a better representation of the diversity this medium has to offer right now than in this project. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get my hands on a copy until I make it back to the States in a couple of weeks for the big, bad San Diego con. Let me live vicariously through you guys!!! I'd love to hear what you think about this book, both good and bad. What were your favorite stories? Favorite creative teams? How do you like the format? I myself cannot wait to see the Deadman strip by Bullock!!!! The Joe Quinones Green Lantern also has my interest peaked, as everything I have seen from the guy has been spectacular.

Here's to my fellow Wednesday comics creators for making me a jealous man!!! Keep it up, boys and girls!!

  2. Lean week for my pull list, so I went into the local shop just for this and it was easily worth it! Seeing everybody's work that size is gorgeous. Loved the Flash page being broken into a strip for Barry Allen/Flash and one for Iris West. Can't wait to see your Batman and Superman sharing a huge page soon!

  4. Wednesday Comics is great. Yet the irony of it doesn't escape me in that comics seemed to resist getting out of newsprint, and here we are back in news print again. I think the work even looks better this way, maybe I'm just being nostalgic.

  5. It looks fantastic. Really love the use of color in this one! It just enchances the story to another level! Keep it up!

    Your coming to the Comic Con? Where will you be located? I've got some books that need your autograph, if possible :)
