MY NAME IN UNEXPECTED PLACES
it could be worse
This week, three stories about seeing my name in unexpected places.
NEW YORK COMIC CON 2025
I’ll be a guest at this year’s New York Comic Con as a guest right up there with my same-font-sized peers, George R. R. Martin and Greg Capullo.
In all seriousness, I’m honored and extremely stoked to be there this year! It’s going to be a huge NYCC for me: we’ll be announcing a project I’ve been working on for three years, and releasing one I’ve been working on for two. One that you’ll hear all about at this year’s San Diego Comic Con in less than a month…
I, unfortunately, won’t be there. That weekend, July 24-27th, we’ll be in Raleigh, NC for Galaxycon Raleigh! But we’ve got plans locked and loaded for a bicoastal announcement spectacular: my first creator-owned comic since 2018. If you can’t make it to San Diego this year, worry not - Galaxycon has become one of my favorite organizations when it comes to putting on a great show. Come to Raleigh and lets keep the party going!
I’ll also be at Galaxycon New Orleans on July 11-13th. My first trip ever to the Big Easy, I’m so excited to eat local cuisine, haunt graveyards, sign comics, and hang with my vampire brethren (by which I obviously mean
.)Addendum: I would like to personally say that I had nothing to do with making Bryce Dallas Howard’s name smaller than mine. I would never do that. BDH is a multi-hyphenate director-actress-model with creamy skin and a lovely countenance and her name should be way bigger than mine. She’s SO pretty. Thank you.
SUPER-VISIBLE
This week marked the release of Super Visible: The Story of the Women of Marvel Comics by the amazing team of Margaret Stohl, Jeanine Schafer, and Judy Stephens. I was so honored to get to contribute to this book with some photos, thoughts, and memories, and even more honored to get to celebrate it in Los Angeles with the authors and friends (and delicious cake, seen below with my Krakoan brother
.)
While it wasn’t a surprise to see my name in the book, it’s always a nice time to open a copy right to a page of another comic creator saying nice things about me. It’s one of my favorite things about this industry - the way we gas each other up. So much of the book is made up of women talking about our histories in comics, the known and the unknown facts, and an important thing to remember is that we often aren’t alone. Even if only one of us gets the credit, it’s the other women we’re friends with behind the scenes who often keep us sane. Since this whole book is the history of the women of Marvel by three of those women, it’s the best version of a primary source we have for a history that could have easily gotten erased. I’m very grateful.
IRONHEART???
Well this is interesting:
A fan sent me this screengrab of the Disney+ credits for IRONHEART, where I apparently receive a special thanks credit! That’s so cool and I have no idea what for!
Which is okay by me - the rest of the show comes out tomorrow at the time of this writing, so I’ll re-up my D+ and give it a watch. My most off-the-wall thought of what it could be? Maybe Bei the Blood Moon. Where does she fit in with Riri? IDK. I like girls in cool armor, though, and they both have that.
Any ideas in the chat? Please include your guess in the comments.
