Well Done Jimmy. I’m sure I’m no different from so many others that use your blog as our authorative news update. It’s good to know your great reporting is recognized and rewarded not only inside but outside the diamond/jewelry world.

Thanks Jimmy! Honestly means alot to me. I’ll send out an email post haste. (Curiosity: Did you get a picture of how the room looked like on your birthday? I honestly like to see those! LOL)

Dave it was great to talk to you as well and I am REALLY looking forward to reading “City of Dust” I was pleasantly surprised by the story and very much interested in seeing what happens in the 2nd issue! Brilliant concept as well! Another question to toss out on the floor: You wouldn’t have another signed copy of “The Magic Flute”? If in fact you do, and are willing to let go of it at a good price, I would be very interested in keeping one in my personal collection.

Hey Jimmy it was great meeting you at the event and thanks for the great story about the Back to Brooklyn. Hearing later what happened for your birthday was rather hilarious (only if your not on the receiving end I suppose!) Consider myself a bit miffed though, as someone picked up my copy of your signed work while I was talking with you.

Just to clarify a couple of things;

Yoshitaka Amano’s MATEKI: MAGIC FLUTE is already on sale and we’re doing some promotion with Mister Amano around the Anime Festival this month, including a MATEKI signing at Barnes & Noble in Greenwich Village on Monday the 29th.

CITY OF DUST (A PHILIP KHROME STORY) is a new series by Steve Niles that premieres on October 1st. Five issues and the first issue is a 48 page, color, prestige format book for just $3.99.

HOTWIRE is created by Warren Ellis and Steve Pugh. The story for the four issues is by Warren and Steve, but the scripts are being written as well as illustrated by Steve Pugh.

ALADDIN: LEGACY OF THE LOST is written by Ian Edginton and illustrated by Patrick Reilly.

CALIBER and HERCULES trades will both be out in November. Hardback, oversized and 144 pages each for $19.95.

My hat is off to Diamond for organizing such a great show. Radical had a brilliant response from every retailer that came by.

Thanks to all involved.

No, Mr. Taylor, I will not, only to offer my apologies to anyone and everyone. And to thank the publishers for producing such wonderful stuff. Seducing the innocent gets easier each year. Did you know that there’s an ORIGINAL High School Musical GN?

yeah it’s def meant to be the Dynamo 5. not trying to be an ass, Torsten! this is an awesome round up and it’s got tons of good info in it. also, i think that the Vampire D series Jimmy is working on is with Josh Blaylock, not Haylock.

the big news to me are the pencils of a female Black Panther. T’Challa is no where to be found in the solicitations following Secret Invasion (especially with October and November having no BP title whatsoever) except for in the X-Men: World’s Apart mini where it says he’s being held by the people of Wakanda. if we’re seeing a female Black Panther, does that mean that Shuri is going to inherit the mantle soon?

Domino Five (five teenagers, fathered by a deadbeat superhero dad, discover they have superpowers)

I suspect that might be Dynamo 5.
