Hi Tom!
It was great to meet you at the San Diego Comic Con and learn that you are as sweet and as big of gentleman in person as you are in email and on the internet!
Now. All I need to do is figure out how to get you to reply to emails and private messages and I will be very happy Thai girl!

Thanks, Trey!
If you can't find a copy of COTG at your local comics retailer, Amazon.com is running a great deal.
Thanks again!

Hey Tom! Saw you briefly at the IDW panel at WWLA. Cool about the writing gig! But I'm sorry didn't get a chance to actually snag you for a chat.
(I did not realize - or at least don't remember if I knew - that you were from Michigan. I grew up in Jackson!) 1 Reply [ Latest posted on April 10th, 2007 5:33 PM ]

Jackson, Michigan, eh? I had good friends from there -- used to go there a lot.
:)
Sorry I missed you at WWLA. Hopefully we'll get a chance to talk in San Diego this year. Looking forward to it!
Best,
Tom Waltz |

If people don't like Children of the Grave, I'd be willing to buy it back. That's right. I'll buy it back. That's how much confidence I have in the book.
Or I'll let them punch Tom in the gut at Comic-Con. Right after they punch Mark Millar for not finishing Ultimates 2 on time. It's a win/win. 1 Reply [ Latest posted on December 27th, 2006 4:19 PM ]

Khwan,
If you don't like COTG, I promise to let you punch me in the stomach at the con in San Diego this year.
:)
But, with Dan Brereton's awesome cover art and Casey Maloney's fantastic interior art, along with all the great extras included with the COTG trade, I think my stomach will be safe. You're gonna love it!
(Just in case, though, I better start doing more sit-ups).
:)
Thanks for your interest in my work!!!
Tom |
