Non-Updating Ass

Ok, Ok... I suck at updating blogs. I spend HOURS every day on the inter-webs, you'd think I could update the 'ol blog once in a while. Well, I'm going to try to be better. I promise.

So, the new book is in this month's Previews Catalog! Flip to page 190 and you'll see a nice listing for Jesus Hates Zombies featuring Lincoln Hates Werewolves in: Yea, Though I Walk... Vol. 1. Pretty sweet! The book is due to hit shelves in September!

Here's the gorgeous cover by my good friend Danilo Beyruth:


Ain't it amazing?!?

And with really freakin' cool interior art by Steve Cobb, trust me, this book ROCKS!

So please, please, please head down to your local comic shop and request that they carry the book! The Diamond Order Code is: JUL083613

Thanks!

Today's the Day!

Jesus Hates Zombies: Those Slack-Jaw Blues hits store shelves today.

Wow... I'm allowing that to sink in... the simple fact that my book is released NATIONALLY in store today and has already sold about 1000 copies! Crazy...

For anyone in the Rochester area, I will be at Empire Comics in Greece for a little while this evening (starting at 5:30 pm) for an impromptu signing of the book. If you're around, stop by! If you can't make it, don't worry... we're organizing a much more formal book signing soon!

JHZ in a movie?

Check it out... A while back, I was contacted on MySpace by a filmmaker named Richard Massey. He said he was going to be shooting his next flick, "Back Page", and he wanted to know if he could put JHZ: Those Slack-Jaw Blues into the movie. Naturally, I said "Of course."

Well, I hadn't heard anything about it in quite a while and - to be honest - I forgot about it. Then I get this message from Richard through MySpace sending me a link to a couple of production stills from the movie. Lo-and-behold, there's the book!
