As I may have mentioned in the past, one of the great advantages to my job is that I’m often offered the opportunity to read books early (and one of the disadvantages is that I don’t always have time). In this particular case, I got to read Harry Connolly‘s The Great Way trilogy a little while before the Kickstarter crew and then the world in general.

Shaman Rises SPOILERS thread
Okay, just in case people desperately need to discuss SHAMAN RISES, I’m starting a spoilers thread on my blog. I would ask people on G+ and Facebook, particularly, to pop over to either mizkit.com or mizkit at livejournal to discuss the book, because it’s much too easy to spoil people in FB/G+ comments.

I hope you all like it. :)

Me: I’m really reading more *about* comics than actual comics these days. Him: Oh, you mean like academic journals? Me: Un, no, I mean like Tumblr… *laughs* Yes, well, at least I’m honest. In other comics news, Leah sent my script back with ridiculously helpful commentary which amounted to “Good story, great pacing, great page…
scripting
Me: I have finished a comic script, the first in ages. If I am brave and smart, now I will send it to Leah Moore* for commentary. Leah: Dooooooooooo eeet! Me: But what if it’s AWFUL? Leah: Then I shall post a gif of me frowning slightly and shaking my head very slowly! *giggles helplessly* She felt it necessary to assure me that was a joke, after posting it. *laughs more* I love Leah. Funny, funny lady. :) *leah has volunteered for this, i do not normally just send things…
