Been keeping up with Matt’s The Dreadful? The site’s been a little odd about new pages displaying hours after they’re actually updated.

What about that How I Killed Your Master thing? Well, all I can say is I signed an NDA saying I can’t say why I haven’t had a chance to write new pages. This is quite frustrating as we’re very near the end of the current chapter, and the next one will take us very near the end. Like, of the whole thing! Thank you, everyone, for your patience. Please trust that I’m itching to jump back on it as soon as I can.

Okay, so remember that Iceman & Angel #1 comic I did? Well, Atomic Robo editor and Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet co-writer Lee Black wrote Cyclops #1. It features interior art by Dean Haspiel and more Batroc action than you could shake the Circus of Crime at. It comes out Wednesday, please check it out!

Do you live in North Carolina? If so, come to Ultimate Comics and do this thing for Free Comic Book Day:

Oh, and the Dr. Dinosaur and Atomic Robo statues are available. Check ’em out!

Oh, and Mr. Scott Wegener and I will be speaking at the Academy of Art in San Francisco this Thursday for their second annual Comics Symposium. We’ll be on a panel where we pretend to know what we’re doing!

In case you missed it, the first page of Matt’s new comic The Dreadful went up yesterday. And the second page popped today!

I think from here on out you can expect to see Dreadful pages on Mondays and Thursdays. Meanwhile, How I Killed Your Master will continue to show up on Tuesdays.

We’ve been sent concerns about this new comic getting in the way of HIKYM‘s already less-than-stable update schema. It really shouldn’t be an issue. HIKYM gets backed up every so often because two-thirds of the people making it, Jeff Powell and m’self — are often jammed up with real world print deadlines that have to take priority over online content.

Meanwhile, Matt is the sole writer, artiste, and letterer on The Dreadful, so he can tinker away on those pages in between lulls in his other projects. When he’s got more HIKYM scripts to grind out, then he’ll switch gears and make that happen.

Sorry if you had trouble accessing comics here this week. I think it’s fixed now, but let me know!

We should have more How I Killed Your Master coming up soon. As well as Matt’s new comic The Dreadful.

The Avengers and the Infinity Gauntlet, written by long time Atomic Robo editor Lee Black and I is now available as a trade paperback. You owe it to yourself to pick this bastard up if you’ve ever wondered what the original Infinity Gauntlet saga would have been like had it included a spacetrucker.

The newest issue of Atomic Robo and the Deadly Art of Science is scheduled to drop this week. The final issue is coming at you in (very) late March. And, yes, that’s Tesla on the cover.

One of the last things I wrote for Marvel hits in March: Iceman and Angel #1. It’s a one-shot, so I’m not sure what the numbering is for, but I’ll assume it’s a relic of Diamond’s distribution “system” and move on with my life. It takes place in the First Class continuity. Not the movie, but the comics the movie is not remotely based on.

What?

Then in April we’ve got Captain America: The Fighting Avenger #1 — again, one-shot/archaic numbering nonsense — combining the two issues we were able to scam Marvel into letting us put together before they wised up to our shenanigans.

Then May brings us the return of Dr. Dinosaur on Free Comic Book Day.

Meanwhile! If you’re willing to brave the offerings of your local Taco Bell you just might find a comic I wrote. It’s the Iron Man one. Haven’t been able to track down a copy myself, but I’ve heard encouraging reports from folks who have found them, so they’re out there. Somewhere.

So. That’s what I’ve been up to lately. How’s by you?

Turns out there’s already a Penny Dreadful comic. You can find it right here!

So, we’re changing the name to just The Dreadful. See?

This new title actually makes more sense anyway, so it’s win-win!

Also, this comic will not get in the way of How I Killed Your Master updates.

How’s that possible? We’re comics alchemists.

Duh.
