In all good comic shops. And some of the bad ones.

I’m moving house in about… 4 hours, so I ought to pack up the computer soon. In the meantime, the next week is as follows:

TOMORROW (3rd May): Signing at They Walk Among Us in Richmond - http://www.twau.co.uk - With Mike Carey, from 2pm.

TUESDAY (6th May): ImagineFX 31 hits stands, featuring a whole host of comics bods. There’s a lengthy interview with me, and also a workshop I put together on how I created pages for Suburban Glamour. The cover looks like this:

WEDNESDAY (7th May): SUBURBAN GLAMOUR Vol 1 is released in America and Canada. It looks like this:

It’s $9.99, and I think it printed very nicely, if I do say so myself.

THURSDAY (8th May): SG Vol 1 is released in the UK, and to coincide I’m doing a signing at Forbidden Planet on Shaftesbury Ave in London, from 6pm. Afterwards I’ll be having a book launch/birthday party, so will be very hungover for…

FRIDAY (9th May): Travelling to Bristol Comic Expo.

SATURDAY-SUNDAY (10th-11th May): Bristol Comic Expo. Gillen and I are sharing a table with Marc Ellerby and John Cei Douglas. Follow the trail of emo and you’ll see them/us.

MONDAY (12th May): May die.

with Ash at RescuedByNerds, at New York Comic Con:

Back from New York - had a great, great time, although I didn’t get a minute to myself the whole weekend.

Hack/Slash issue 11 is out this week, featuring a cover by me! It looks like this:

I’m doing two signings in the upcoming weeks. First up, on May 3rd is a Free Comic Book Day signing with Mike Carey at They Walk Among Us - details here.

Then on May 8th, I’m doing a signing at Forbidden Planet in Shaftesbury Ave, London.

Here are the times I will be signing at the Image booth at New York Con:

-Friday, 4-5 PM w/ Paul Maybury & Mark Sable
-Sunday, 10-11 AM w/ Paul Maybury

I think I’ll have some original pages with me.

That’s it. It’s all over! Please let me know what you think, either here or on the McKelvie/Gillen forum.

EDIT: Oh, hey - this CBR article has some lettered and coloured pages from my X-Men story!

The wait is finally over - issue 4 is out next week (9th April in the US/10th elsewhere)!

And it looks like I’m coming to NYCC after all. I’ll be doing a few signings at the Image booth, and also possibly a panel, so keep an eye out for more announcements.

A4, ink on Bristol.

I put together a little soundtrack for Suburban Glamour. It’s made up of songs by bands either featured in the comic or liked by characters.

If you are one of the artists featured and you don’t want your song on there, drop me a line and I’ll remove it.
