Chuck Dixon's Birthday!

Tom Spurgeon at The Comics Reporter scooped me, which is shameful, since I know Chuck personally. Actually, it speaks volumes about how much more organized Tom is.

Happy belated wishes, Chuck! Hopefully, I'll be seeing you around in Florida in a few weeks! I'll buy lunch! And I'll toast to 52 more years of great comics from you!

Samurai: Heaven & Earth on Amazon!

Amazon is listing the 5-issue series trade paperback collection that Ron Marz, Luke Ross, Jason "Bam" Keith and I worked on together...

and my bonus treat (thanks to the guys) is MY NAME IS ON THE COVER!

I might plotz.

Dan Slott - Once and future THING...

THING scripter Dan Slott posts about a change coming on the Thing team... we're sad to hear our buddy Andrea Di Vito is leaving the book. But the good news is, we've still got our other (better-looking) bud, LAURA VILLARI! (Sorry, Andrea, but it's true. Keep your chin up. Besides, you're moving on to ANNIHILATION!) <--scroll to the bottom of that link to see what I mean.

And the next piece of good news is the next penciler is KIERON DWYER, super-pro and cool guy! Sweet!

Now, if we can just keep the Thing-Pulling going, the series will last long enough for Andrea to return to it! Pull!!
