Help my friend Marc & check out Steve's new stuff!

My friend Marc Andreyko is the awesome comic book writer behind Manhunter at DC Comics. The book is amazing and he's gotten a ton of critical acclaim, but like a lot of things out there if they don't have readers they won't keep the book running. BUT... there is a way we can help.

Wizard Magazine - the preeminent comics news mag - has their annual fan ballot up on their website (this is the round to become a nominee for their awards). If you would, click on this link and vote for Manhunter as your favorite female super hero. Yes, that means Wonder Woman won't win but that book is never going to get cancelled for a number of reasons we don't need to get into right now. But a nomination is the sort of thing marketing teams can use to keep books selling and it could really help Mark out.

If you want suggestions for other books, TV shows, or creators that I think should win (like my other friend Phil Jimenez for penciler or Allan Heinberg as favorite breakout talent), just let me know.

Only vote once. I'm told multiple votes will be disqualified. Thanks!

Check out Steve's new stuff from Disney!



It's that time of the month that we all know and love, when Steve has some new stuff premiering in the Disney Stores around the US. This week it's the Tinkerbell's Garden line, with all of these really cute plates, a tea set, votive candle holder (pictured right), trinket box, mirror plate (pictured above; I'm sure there's a more professional name for it, but he's in a meeting so I'm winging it here.), etc. You can't necessarily see her face in the mirror but the detail work is insane and she looks so cute! I'm always amazed by his work. (Yes, I am biased.)

And no, we don't have all of this stuff littering our house. We're not that gay... we just have it sitting around because we don't quite know what to do with it all yet.

As I get more products in I'll snap and post. Enjoy.
