Not to brag, but I have so many awesome friends! Chadi got me a sketch card from Jordan Gunderson of Witchblade-bearer Sara Pezzini (a nice companion piece to the 11 by 14 he did for me a couple years ago). Our customers (Brian, Katie & Eric, Emily, and many more) brought so much food to my co-workers on Free Comic Book Day that I still got to eat some today.

Oh, and my amazing friends Andy & Kristy: it was a beautiful wedding and I had so much fun with friends new & old; thank you. I love you two!

Now that that’s been said, it’s time for me to get back to work! This week: Marvel Previews #81!

There are a number of new Marvel projects this month falling under the banner of “Women of Marvel” – spotlighting not only Marvel’s fascinating female characters, but also the creators who wield the pencils and brushes and tap those keyboards. First up is Girl Comics, a three-issue anthology series featuring work by women only. (The book will probably be printed by men, though.) The first issue sports a great She-Hulk vs. Iron Man cover by the amazing Amanda Conner – and it’s not the battle you’d normally expect. I’m looking forward to seeing the work of Ann Nocenti, Devin Grayson, and Trina Robbins, all of whom haven’t done much superhero comic work of late, as well as current faves including Colleen Coover and Stephanie Buscema.
