THE CITY OF ANGELS (AND ME)
This is a very hasty newsletter, I’m sorry! It’s been … a week (it’s fine, just a lot!) and I’m working hard to make Kwality Komics™ for you, the people! Part of my week involved a very important meeting with legendary comic writer Mark Waid. I hosted the zoom meeting and Mark didn’t once make note of the great name i gave it:
But this newsletter isn’t just to make fun of Mark Waid! It also exists because I needed to get this bit of news out there:
HEADIN’ TO L.A., BABY!!!
DON’T CALL ME BABY
Uh, headin’ to L.A., Ever-Present Critical Voice Inside My Head!
THAT’S BETTER
I’ll be tabling December 1-3, which sounds like a long time away but holy shit it actually isn’t. With this show I will be bringing back my wildly popular ink wash head sketches, like this abomination:
I actually just did a new one for a charity auction that will be happening at The Beguiling soon! The theme was “Golden Age Superheroes” so I just went ahead and drew the greatest hero of them all:
Anyhoo, I greatly enjoy doing these, so I’m looking forward to busting out my brush and ink in a couple of weeks!
Nothing new out this week, except for my final (sniff sniff) trade paperback of Daredevil!
So for all the trade waiters out there, you finally get to read the end! Daredevil buys a nice farm, gets married, raises a couple of kids. It’s nice.
That’s it! Go outside and get some fresh air!
Love,
Chip

dear chip,
on behalf of all the trade waiters, thank you!
for the trade AND for the title of "trade waiter" which makes me feel seen.
i've been waiting for that assignation for so long, i didn't even know i WAS a "trade waiter" waiter.
(if only it were my job, then i'd be a trade waiter waiter by trade.)
want to hire me to be a trade waiter waiter, anyone?
thanks as always for all the great work!
love,
myq
Sweet! Now I just need confirmation you will be at MegaCon next year and my day will be perfect.
Also congrats on the release of the final trade to you DD run. Been a heck of a ride. Definitely going to miss you and Marco working on the man without fear. But thankfully the new guys have proven to be up to the task.
Just curious, how big is your Spider-Man omnibus precisely? Shames me to say I can’t recall how much spider-man you actually wrote. (I know, shame on me T_T ).
Anyways, great news all around today, glad to see things are going well, and I really hope you enjoy yourself at the L.A Comic Con...baby ;)
