Past #SDCC goers, any advice/suggestions re: hotels on offer for the Early Bird sale (or should I wait for the general sale?)
November 18, 2025 at 6:40 PM
I have a concept for what I think would be a fun Red Hood and the Outlaws book...but I doubt DC would even sniff at me long enough to pitch it. ^^;
November 18, 2025 at 12:09 PM
I'm really excited about going to #SDCC for the first time next year, and that I'm bringing friends from all over with me to enjoy it!

Also, VERY anxious! I have to do my best networking, etc. (Plus I'm not prepared at all for Hotelpocolypse)
November 16, 2025 at 6:56 PM
Please let the SDCC hotel lottery be on a weekend...Im usually so swamped at work that them doing it on a weekday would be insane :(

My current aggravation as a comic book writer (well, one of them):

Having various things being done but nothing quite ready for prime time (KS or pitching), so I have nothing really to promote or tease...yet.

(That might change come January...more info soon)

Jewish voices and stories belong in arts and entertainment and should not be silenced. Not by editorial, not by fellow creators and artists, not by anyone or anything.

And yes, that includes Zionist voices, not that these pig ignorant people know what Zionism ACTUALLY is.

This is VERY VERY bad.

This is the third largest comics festival in the world, and it might not happen in a couple of months because of a couple of major jerks in management and a lot of bad decisions.

The vast majority, INCLUDING SCHUMER, are against this "deal". Focus your fire, and ire, on the few doing this

If you loved Sherlock Holmes: The Phantom Masquerade's first issue...you're going to love this vampiric take on Holmes as well!

I heartily give it my recommendation.
