THE SHIELD #5 and ACTION COMICS #885 hit stores 1/13/10
This coming Wednesday (13 January, 2010), I have two comics hitting store shelves. Marco Rudy returns to penciling duties on The Shield (and thanks are due again to Cliff Richards for his fine work on issue #4). I recently completed scripting chores on The Shield #7, and am eagerly awaiting Marco's magic pencils on that one. Lots of good stuff on the horizon for Lt. Higgins, for sure.
In addition, Action Comics #885 leaps tall buildings in a single bound... Actually, it's the first part of a crossover with James Robinson's Superman, full of Mon-El, the Science Police, and, as the comic title implies, a lot of action and things blowing up.
Both titles available at your Friendly Local Comic Shop. If you can't locate a comic shop in your area, try the Comic Shop Locator Service; I also recommend, if you're in western Washington State, my wife's fine establishment, Olympic Cards & Comics.
