Get ANGEL:ATF volume 3 CHEAP!

Got an email from Amazon alerting me that ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL Volume 3 hardcover is now 34% off cover price! GET IT HERE and save some dough! And hey, write a review while you're at it!

ANGEL:ATF VOLUME 3 IS OUT!

Featuring art by the amazing Nick Runge and the superhuman Stephen Mooney. Tons of extras, including a behind-the-scenes commentary from one of the characters (is that a trade paperback first? hope so) and a Q and A wherein you all provided the Qs and Ryall and I made with some As.

I do hope you enjoy it, it's at fine comic shoppes everywhere, or you can order it HERE!

Writing has it's privledges.

Stephen Mooney sent me this. I love Stephen Mooney.

And not just because he sends me beautiful original art, I'm not that shallow.

Become What You Are

That's the title of ANGEL 23. While I like titles like SPIKE:ASYLUM and ANGEL:AFTER THE FALL, I really enjoy comics wherein each issue has a different title. We did this a bit with SHADOW PUPPETS, each chapter was a play on BUFFY and ANGEL episode titles ("Once More, With Felt"), and now I get to name a single issue as it's a self-contained story.

So, ANGEL 23 is called "Become What You Are". It's also the name of an album by Juliana Hatfield, but don't go looking at the song lyrics for hints or clues about the storyline, as there aren't any (though you should check out the album, as it's wonderful). The title will make sense once you read the issue, I think.

Back to work for me!

Been a while since I had a spoiler!

So in ANGEL 17 Gunn was in a coma, badly beaten, possibly dying.
But in ANGEL 18, he's up and about and driving and has Illyria riding shotgun.

How did this happen? Well, here are Franco's pencils and inks for the cover of issue 23, which will shed a little light:


Faithful readers can probably tell just who is standing over Gunn. And yes, that person (?) does in fact have a hand in his speedy recovery. But I can tell you that physical healing is only the tip of the iceberg in this issue. This one is packed with big shake-ups. We see a couple of reunions, some fun cameos, characters charting new journeys, and Franco and I tell a little tale that serves as a wonderful capper to the AFTER THE FALL storyline. In fact, if ATF is ever collected in one volume, I hope this is the last chapter in the book.

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

ANGEL:ATF wedding variant aaaalmost sold

It's not going for a ton of dough, which isn't the best news for my wallet but IS great news if you really want one. Go HERE and bid. It's fun and easy!

And I promise, I will use the money for creative endeavors. Not porn. Because I don't even read porn, and porn is free on the internet anyway.

SPIKE:SHADOW PUPPETS second printing!

Thanks to you guys, the first trade paperback of SPIKE:SHADOW PUPPETS has SOLD OUT! That means a new printing is on the way THIS WEEK.
