ECHOES IN STORES AND SIGNING!

Hey folks,As the year draws to a close, I've decided to slip one last book in for y'all to check out. The much talked about ECHOES from artist Rahsan Ekedal and I and the newly relaunched MINOTAUR PRESS line from TOP COW. It's a dark horror book that asks whether you can inherit murder. It's about the darkest, scariest thing I've ever done, and I'm sure you'll all love it.

You can check out preview art and behind the scenes info (including ordering info) here: http://www.echoesthecomic.com

To celebrate the books release, Rahsan Ekedal and I will be signing and partying it up at Collector's Paradise in Winnetka, CA this Wednesday from 5 to 7pm. More info on that here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=148880845161176&index=1

So, that's all she wrote for 2010. I just wanted to thank each of you for your support,friendship, and kindness in the past year. It's been the very definition of a roller coaster with the birth of my amazing daughter, the release (after a nightmarish delay) of TUMOR, and now, the release of ECHOES. Plus a few New York Times Best Selling manga, some books for Marvel, and some pretty exciting movie news.

I think I've done some of my best work in 2010, and not just in the baby department. I hope you guys have enjoyed all of my collaborator's and my hard work, and that you're on board for the forseeable future.

As always, thanks for spreading the good word and keeping the dream (and my daughter's food supply) alive.

Here's to a great 2011!

We also have a production blog at http://www.echoesthecomic.com and a Twitter @echoescomic

If you're a journo or want to lend a quote to the PR of the book, just drop me a line and I'll see about getting you a PDF of the whole thing!

Also, this coming weekend I'll be at the New York Comic Con at the Javitz Center in New York City.  I'm coming in for a huge announcement involving MTV Geek (http://geek.mtv.com) and some old and new books of mine.  I'll also be doing brief signings for Archaia and Top Cow.  Schedule as follows:
