Ah, fame at last!. I see it’s gone straight to your head. 😉
Comment by Karl 08.03.10 @ 3:10 amThis is why you’re awesome – because you get IT …
Quote from Interview : “What makes it special is that it’s a mainstream character who is also gay,” he explained. “That’s not the focus of the book. It’s part of her identity, which is the same as everyone else. Different aspects of ourselves don’t decide who we are — the deciding factor about who she is is that she’s a hero.””
She’s a hero.
That says it all. That’s also why I can’t wait for the new series to start up.
Man, if I didn’t have a girlfriend, I’d ask you to marry me. 😉
Congrats on the great coverage and the fact that they refer to you as “no mere geek”. LOL.

Comment by Pam 08.03.10 @ 7:02 amNice to be reconginzed in the home town! How long before they organize a parade in your honor? There could be floats constructed to represent all your projects. A marching assembly of promethea incarnations. 7 floats for 7 Soldiers. Actually, that could be a nifty parade…
Comment by Fey 08.03.10 @ 7:48 amAnd we will be your minions.
Is this part true?
“The “zero issue” of the comic series, which Williams describes as a “bridge from what came before to what comes next,” will hit stores in November. The book takes a look at the Batwoman character from Batman’s point-of-view, Williams said.”
Comment by the cheekster 08.03.10 @ 9:41 amVery cool. Always to noticed by the folks back home.
Comment by L0N 08.03.10 @ 10:27 amOh, Pam, you are too sweet to me. On the marriage thing, I think my wife, Wendy, and your girlfriend would have something to say about that.

Hello there Fey
Ooh a parade would be fun, I could sit at the front and wave to everybody, but people might throw tomatos.
Hey there LON
I’ve always had a lot of support from the local comics crowd here, which is very nice. But I was surprised the local paper wanted to do something, pretty cool. I have no idea how they found out about the Eisners. The regular newspaper around here usually doesn’t cover anything like that.
Hey JWH3,
Think the Deluxe Edition of Elegy with a Rachael Maddow forward might have made your Eisner wins pop up on the radar of many more people than you expected. Again, very deserved attention to a good guy and great artist. I must talk to my comics peeps about flying you into Austin for a driveby signing, or maybe Staple some time down the road…
Know you’ve been to Houston recently… does another Texas excursion interest you at all? Thanks!

Comment by wayne beamer 08.04.10 @ 9:50 amTrue fame only comes when one makes their local paper.
Comment by BD 08.04.10 @ 5:11 pmWe’re the two geeks who stopped you at Raley’s! Woot! You made our Wednesday. Congrats on the good press with batwoman. Cheers!
Comment by Leif and Trisha 08.05.10 @ 11:39 amIt’s always good to get some home loving. Also, you were from Merced!? Things like this give me hope. I grew up in shitty Modesto
Comment by Austin Elliott 08.05.10 @ 10:02 pmHey there Leif and Trisha
Now I know your names, and it was a real pleasure meeting you guys.
…And now you’re sweeping the Central Valley with appearances in the Atwater Signal and Modesto Bee. They are picking up the original story from the Sun-Star.
