Sorry for missing most of November; have been gearing up for 2010. Got a great email from Art Robinson of the Fourth Wall podcast; he'd read True Facts and Come in Alone and found them "absolutely life changing."
Even allowing for hyperbole, that's an excellent thing to read; and that's not even counting his sign-off that he "loved Black Diamond." Ol' Art sure knows how to turn a girl's head.

Little Dude wanted to go out and walk around, so he geared up in his pirate/construction worker tools, and Daddy grabbed his South Beach Leather Rocketeer jacket and Master Replicas lid and called it done. Mommy noted that he could have gone out in his SHIELD T-shirt he was already wearing and called it done as well but Daddy wanted to make an effort.

When Mimi and I were off for the anniversary/birthday/Adobe shutdown, Our Man in LA, Adam Beechen did an interview with Matt Adler on Broken Frontier wherein he discussed the Hench sequel. There's some excellent preliminary art of Manny's Quitely-esque style:

Every once in a while I come across something I actually have forgotten I did. Looks like when The Black Diamond #1 first came out, Chris Beckett asked me a bunch of great questions. Here's his set-up:
In 1999, Larry Young first came to prominence in the comics community with the publication of Astronauts in Trouble: Live from the Moon, which he created with artists Charlie Adlard and Matt Smith. Young initially shopped the idea for AiT, as it has come to be known, to a number of comic publishers but they all passed. So, confident in the strength of the work and wishing to get it out to the masses, Young published it himself. Naming his publishing house AiT/Planet Lar (you can figure that one out), Young eventually published two more chapters in the astronauts' lives: Space 1959 and One Shot, One Beer. With the success of these books, Young decided to start publishing books by other creators like Brian Wood, Matt Fraction, Joe Casey, Becky Cloonan, Warren Ellis, Kieron Dwyer, and Fabio Moon with titles that include The Couriers, Giant Robot Warriors, Badlands, and Come in Alone.
One thing is certain, one can always count on an entertaining and quality read when picking up an AiT book, and this most recent addition... the first color book from the publisher... is no exception.
