The beginning of the end begins Nov. 18!

And Dark Horse has posted the preview from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #47, the first issue of “Demon,” the final story arc. It’s the only three pages they could’ve selected that don’t give something major away — but you can see, the answers are about to begin flowing! “What’s that, Zayne? Serroco? Oh, er, ahem… is that the phone?”

An update or two

And some notes for Knights of the Old Republic #46 are now online — and I am given to understand that the latest trade paperback, Vol. 7: Dueling Ambitions, has also arrived in stores. I’ll put some notes together on that eventually, but I don’t recall that we made any changes on that edition. We generally catch just about everything! Speaking of trades, I still need to get a page …

“Destroyer” concludes!

And Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic #46 releases today at your local comics shop — the second part of “Destroyer.” It’s a particularly emotional issue for our cast — with some wonderful art and one of the creepiest covers we’ve ever had. Be sure to check it out… I’ll have some thoughts posted on it in a few days.

Fun at Baltimore Comicon, Diamond Summit

Well, Baltimore Comicon has been over for a week, but the Diamond Retailer Summit has only been over for a few days, so hopefully a few notes on it now won’t be too late. This was my first time at both events, and it was a lot of fun. I met some old friends and new ones, and got a good look at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor area after years of …

JJM on Facebook and Twitter

My Baltimore trade show and con notes will have to wait until my head stops pounding — wouldn’t be a convention if you didn’t catch something — but for those looking for updates on my work, I’d note there are two ways to get them now: I have a Twitter feed for my fiction site, and after a trial period I’m opening up my Facebook page to visitors of this …

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: Endings and beginnings

Greetings again from the Diamond Retailer Summit, where I’m appearing for Dark Horse promoting Mass Effect — and where we finally made it public that, yes, the long run of Knights of the Old Republic is set to end with #50, the last issue of “Demon.” We’ve been working toward the series’ climax for some time, getting pieces into place for the big finale — where we really have pulled …

Baltimore Comicon this weekend!

I’ve never been to Baltimore Comicon before, so I’m looking forward to going this weekend. I’ll be out and about on the convention floor, but I will be sure to spend some time at the Dark Horse booth, #1503. No set schedule — check with the booth for updates. Be sure to drop by! I’m also Dark Horse’s featured guest later at the Diamond Retailer Summit — I’ll be appearing …

January 2010: Dual duels from Dark Horse

Dark Horse has released its solicitations for January 2010 — a month that includes two comic books from yours truly. First there’s the premiere issue of Mass Effect: Redemption (my script on a Mac Walters plot, with art by Omar Francia and a cover by Daryl Mandryk); that should be in shops on January 6. Here’s the first look at the cover with the logo… And, why not, here’s some …

Destroyer production notes, and a look at #48

And there are some thoughts now on the site for Knights of the Old Republic #45, as well as a page for the creepily-covered issue #48, featuring the origin of Demagol. The eighth KOTOR trade paperback has been announced for February; I’ll have a page on the site for that here eventually.
