17th November 2009 / Wasteland / Appearances / Daredevil
As previously mentioned, I’m attending Thought Bubble in Leeds this Saturday. If you don’t know it, TB is fast becoming one of the premier comic conventions in Britain — it’s comics-focused, creator-friendly, and very well organised.
You can view the full programme here (the one-day con is part of a larger festival over three days), but here’s the relevant info for me:
The con is in Saviles Hall, at the Royal Armouries, from 10am till 5pm.
I’ll have a table, where I’ll be signing and selling my books, including WASTELAND hardcovers and COLLECTED SCRIPTS. I don’t have a booth number for you, but Saviles isn’t so big that you won’t be able to find me if you just look around for the big red banner with my name on it. [ADDENDUM: Apparently my table number is 22.]
My erstwhile partner in crime Ben Templesmith will also be there, at the table next to mine, and we’ll be more than happy to jointly sign any DEAD SPACE or WASTELAND stuff you might have.
At 12.45 Ben and I are both on the Do Zombies Read Comic Books? panel, along with Charlie Adlard, Sean Phillips and host Martin Grund, discussing the horror genre in comics.
At 3.20 I’m on the Computer Games and Sequential Art panel, this time with Duncan Fegredo, Peter Doherty, Liam Sharp and host Kieron Gillen, to discuss the links between games and comics.
I’ll also be at the after-show party in the evening, where Al Ewing, Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie are all DJing at some point. Bring your dancing shoes!
Two other brief snippets of news today: First, there’s a very nice review of WASTELAND up at sci-fi site io9.com.
Second, as you may have already heard, I’m co-writing DAREDEVIL #505-507 (“Left Hand Path”) with Andy Diggle. We’ve wanted to work together on something for a long time, and now we finally have the chance. More on that soon, no doubt.
