Some fun stuff available this week! First off, in comics shops today, is my latest Simpsons story, “For A Limited Time Only,” appearing in Bart Simpson #77. Bart and Milhouse, getting hold of a pile of tragically coverless comics, decide to answer all the ads that don’t have expiration dates — and end up destabilizing the world economy! It’s a rollicking story that touches on all kinds of comics ads …
And as the headline says, you can now check out the preview for Lost Tribe of the Sith – Spiral #4, which releases next Wednesday from Dark Horse Comics. Things go from worse to worst for the Sith of Kesh, as Lord Dreypa throws not only his weight around — but also that of a host of undying leviathans!
This year, someone decided Wisconsin was a swing state — and targeted all the telephones they could find. But as they — and readers of my Facebook page — learned this past month, I have my ways of dealing with unsolicited calls… Thursday, Oct. 25 — As the phone continues to ring off the hook with political calls, I have decided to take my responses into the realm of performance …

Robert Iger and George Lucas (Disney publicity photo) Along with a storm, an earthquake — at least judging from my Twitter feed — in the science-fantasy firmament. As you’ve probably already read, Disney has agree to purchase Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. And with this announcement, Disney also announced that Star Wars: Episode VII is targeted for release in 2015! It’s a big deal, and not just financially. (Coincidentally, that’s almost …
Here’s an October surprise of the apolitical nature! Originally slated for a Thanksgiving release, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Vol. 10 – War hits shelves today. Drafted into his homeworld’s militia, former padawan Zayne Carrick must survive on his own — which isn’t easy, when the Mandalorians seize his unit and force him to fight as one of them. But there’s another rogue Jedi with a plan who’s …
The website’s still reverberating from the Kenobi novel news (the most-read post on the blog ever, in just a little over a week) — but the publishing schedule continues. And my third comic book of the month is much different from the others: Bart Simpson #76 from Bongo Comics! As mentioned some time ago, my first Simpsons story was in #27 of that title, nearly eight years ago. I had …
With the conclusion of the latest round of Star Wars: Knight Errant comics on Wednesday, people have been asking for months what I had coming next. People have also been asking, after my long association with the Expanded Universe, when I would get around to writing heroes from the movies. I thank readers for their patience.

Regular readers of this site know I keep production notes and trivia on just about everything I write. I’ve been posting them since I launched the site in 2003, not long after my first professional comic book was released. Normally, I like to get them done the same week a book comes out — but then I also like to wait until I get feedback and hear what questions people …
Three comics out this month — and the first two arrive tomorrow! Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith #3 features Lord Dreypa going to town — and going to town on the Sith of Kesh, who he sees as far beneath the example of his time.
