Just a reminder: the always-excellent Emerald City ComiCon is fast approaching (March 13th and 14th, to be precise); stop by my table (C-08) and say hi, get something signed, or just chat about comics.  

The show has always had a great guest list, and this year is no exception, featuring the likes of Brian Azzarello, Brian Michael Bendis, Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka, Jen Van Meter, Kurt Busiek, Sterling Gates, Geoff Johns, Steve Lieber, John Layman, my friend Brandon Jerwa, and tons more. 

The media guest list is pretty great this year, too, including luminaries like Stan Lee, Leonard Nimoy, Thomas Jane, Lou Ferrigno, and more. 

Hope to see you there!

This Wednesday, Adventure Comics #8 hits store shelves. This issue features -- in addition to two fine tales by James Robinson and Sterling Gates -- the beginning of a three-part co-feature I wrote, illustrated by the talented Pier Gallo. 

From the DC Comics website: 

ADVENTURE COMICS ships twice this month as this spring's Superman event "Brainiac and The Legion of Super-Heroes" starts with a prologue in #8 and reaches a boiling point in #9!

Starting way back in "The Lightning Saga," various clues have been planted about a group of Legionnaires undercover in the 21st century. Who are they and why are they here? And what does their mission have to do with the fate of New Krypton? James Robinson (SUPERMAN) and Julián López (WORLD'S FINEST) may have an answer or two!

Meanwhile, in a tale of the 31st century by Sterling Gates (SUPERGIRL) and Clayton Henry (ADVENTURE COMICS), the Legion of Super-Heroes infiltrates a hidden Legion of Super-Villains base! The horrifying plans Brainiac 5 discovers inside will alter Superman's life – FOREVER!

Plus, in the co-feature by Eric Trautmann (ACTION COMICS) and newcomer Pier Gallo, learn more about General Lane's Human Defense Corps – Earth's best line of defense against the looming Kryptonian threat!
