Yay and rats. Yay for DC picking up the amazingly talented Ian, rats for me not getting a spot on this book--I've always wanted to write a story like that. Maybe next year.

But the rats is small, and the YAY is BIG.

Wahey! Go Ian!

Anyone wanna guess which character he got?;)

(Oh, and any word on a Marvel Christmas Special? Last year had at least 2 awesome ones!)

Late November they are having a Punisher Christmas Special...but the December solicits are not out yet.

Way to go, Ian! Who's doing the art for you part of it? Ordway would be nice.

Ian's hitting the big time!!!

Yay, Ian!!!

If he could do half as well as his brother Ira, the elbow patch merchant, he may make something of himself in a few years.

Good job, Boothby. :)

[TomStillwell]

Cool beans, Ian!

[stealthwise]

I'll buy it, just because Ian's involved.

Thanks! And thanks to Joan Hilty for thinking of me for this.
It's a kick writing it.

Kewl.

It's a long running tradition that I get the various holiday type specials published by DC and Marvel and others for Chrismas.
So I'm sure I'll be reading it the morning of December 25th.

Joan's awesome...one of my favorite people in comics. Towards the end of working together, we had a bit of cabin fever, kind of, but I'm crazy about her and respect her to pieces and really miss working with her.
