YET AGAIN I'm a few days away from a deadline and completely freaking out (which in this case involved running away to my mom's place on Cape Cod in an attempt to prune distractions) BUT! I wanted to emerge long enough to share a mini-update on what's going on with the Zuko!Prequel! SO UH...you know, with these things it's impossible to say what will happen or what problems will come up until the...

I'm less than ten pages away from the end of the prequel, and despite the fact that it's due TOMORROW I'm feeling pretty good. I wish I'd finished about three or four hours ago, but WE CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING WE WANT and right now I'm just trying to concentrate on banging it out fast enough for yaytime to have time to properly look it over. I owe several of you emails, replies to LJ comments...

On Friday afternoon, my good friend wormulus (L. Nichols, Site: Dirt Between My Toes; Minicomic: Jumbly Junkery ) and I drove from Brooklyn to Bethesda, Maryland for SPX. Bumped into granulac and rstevens at a New Jersey rest area. Good omen, Interstate 95 must be teaming with cartoonists. We got to the hotel and met up with radrobot (BT Livermore, Rad Robot, dot...

It's been one of those crazy weeks for a lot of reasons (kind of like it's been one of those crazy summers) but the last day or so have been pretty all right, I have to say. A big long-term project was wrapped up, which is ALWAYS just....yes. Finishing things is awesome. AWE. SOME. And after spending the weekend under the shadow of possible!problems, it looks like things are moving along nicely with...

So I know that on the "List Of Things Alison Shouldn't Be Reading," message board threads discussing the Airbender comics are waaaaaaaay near the top. But sometimes I'm weak and I go to take a quick look. And although I still cringe a little at various people's opinions regarding yaytime and my talents as writers, it's kind of worth it to read fans' EMPHATIC STATEMENTS regarding what the prequel...

As yaytime mentioned over on his journal this morning , our new book, X-Men: Misfits is out today!! You should be able to find it at any large book store, as well as online: Amazon Barnes & Noble Borders Or, buy it from your local comic shop --comics retailers should have it tomorrow. As I mentioned previously, we're throwing a book release party on Friday, August 28, at...

I'm still way, WAY behind on practically everything -- the con is over and sadly emsariel and hoshizora have left me, but I'm up against a deadline that's still eating up most of my time. HOWEVER! After months of sneaking around I can finally TALK about what that deadline is for. There was an announcement at SDCC and rumors have been flying in the days since, but here's what's actually...

Back from New York. Highlights: - Eating all day long on Friday, despite the winds and pouring rain. Highlights included the raw oysters w/kimchi consomme and steamed pork buns (these were prepared Peking duck style, which was an absolute stroke of genius) at Momofuku Ssam Bar , a traditional New York lox and cream cheese bagel from Russ & Daughters, potato knishes from Yonah Schimmel, crème brulée...

Well, let's see. What can be said about this year's MoCCA Art Fest that hasn't already been said? Dave has a report from our shared vantage point; Heidi has a good general summary up at The Beat , and Even Dorkin lays it all out on the table with little apology. As for me, I was hot and miserable and tired all weekend. I usually do my best to put a positive spin on things, and since MoCCA is pretty...
