I seem to be really bad at promoting my own writing. Last week, DC Comics released the Darkseid Special I wrote for them. It's one of six specials this month — Jack's centennial month — featuring characters done by him and now interpreted by current writers and artists. The story I did was illustrated by the extremely popular (justifiably so) Scott Kolins and there's a back-up tale of Omac by Paul Levitz and Phil Hester. All six of these books also carry short articles by me about Mr. Kirby. Since it's extremely unclassy for a writer to tell you his work is good, I won't. I'll just link to two reviews — this one and this one — where others say that and I'm a little embarrassed to even find myself doing that.
Also, the second issue of the Grumpy Cat/Garfield crossover mini-series will hit stores on September 7. The second issue? Didn't you promise to tell us when the first one came out? Yes, I did. But remember: I'm really bad at promoting my own writing and besides, no one told me. I haven't seen #1 either.
Anyway, you might want to check them out if only to consider how different the two stories are. One is about a sinister presence that enslaves those around them and forces them to be subservient and to live in fear. And the other one is about Darkseid.
