Elton over on MySpace dropped me a note to let me know that RED and WEIRD SISTER got some props over on Ain’t It Cool News today:

“These tales are breezy and short, but carry a heft and heart that makes each panel count. Genco enlists some talented B&W artists to illustrate her words. Both WEIRD SISTER and RED show the emergence of a talented new voice in indie comics.“

Lovely!

Scroll down a little on this page to the indie stuff to see it live.

Yes, we’ll be at SPX this year… as attendees. Crazy! We’ll be honest: we just got tired of shlepping our stuff hither and yon. And four hand-made comics/chapbooks is enough for me in less-than-one-year, thank you very much.

That said, I will, in fact, have some fun promo items for SCHEHERAZADE. But more on that later.

We’ll be there Saturday on into Sunday, so do look for us on the floor and at the bar.

We’ve got nine pages of story up now, right here. From here on out, we’ll be running about 5 pages bi-weekly. On the off-weeks, you’ll find interviews with my favorite storytellers in FROM THE LIBRARY. There are two interviews up so far, with Brian Wood and Cherie Priest. Ed Brubaker will most likely be next. Huzzah!

So please have a look if you haven’t already. And spread the word!

… of SCHEHERAZADE, my new webcomic with the Chemistry Set, is up. Right here. Huzzah.

Our regular day is Thursday, starting this Thursday. We’ll be posting a chunk of pages (3-4) bi-weekly, and on the off-weeks, I’ll have mini-interviews with some of my favorite storytellers and kindred spirits. Mr. Wood and Cherie Priest are up first. I’m going for a nice mix of comics peeps and fantasy peeps, both big peeps and up-and-coming peeps. Hopefully it’ll be good fun and cross-promotion for everybody.

The site looks great so far and I’m so proud of everyone involved. Do check it out, and if you like what you see, please spread the word.
