Floodgates open...
Just a reminder that I will be signing at the fabulous Olympic Cards & Comics in Lacey, WA, this Wednesday, Nov. 11th. Accompanying me will be two of my partners in various crimes, Greg Rucka (Detective Comics, Stumptown, Action Comics) and Brandon Jerwa (Wide Awake, Battlestar Galactica, Inferno).
The signing is a bit of a celebration, as the day marks three titles I wrote or co-wrote hitting store shelves: Action Comics #883 (which I cowrote with Greg), The Shield #3 (featuring an Inferno co-feature by Brandon) and the conclusion to JSA Vs. Kobra: Engines of Faith.
The signing begins at roughly noon and will run 'til at least 4 pm (possibly later).
Olympic Cards & Comics is located at:

Since "Codename: Patriot," Earth's hatred for Kryptonians has only escalated – which is what makes it so odd that Nightwing and Flamebird pick now to become public Super Heroes! Meanwhile, Lois
Lane finally meets with the man she thought long dead – her father, General Lane. But he has a message to deliver to his journalist daughter: "You're either with us or against
us."
And in part 5 of the new co-feature, Captain Atom, now back on Earth and knowing the truth about his mission, must face an old foe – his archenemy, Major Force!
