According to Heidi MacDonald, I'm everywhere. This is a mild understatement. In my "night job" as a comics journalist, I write for Heidi at Publishers Weekly Comics Week and for Comic Book Resources and for ComicMix and for Comic Foundry magazine. Oh, and when I have a spare second I post some musings on my personal comics blog, Graphic Fiction.

I review somewhere north of 10 million comics a year (or maybe that's just how it feels). Have a comic you'd like me to look over? Send it my way at e-mail.

I'm also the writer of an upcoming original graphic novel, The Leg. It's painted by John Deering, a winner of numerous awards for his editorial cartoons, sculptures and paintings. I don't want to give too much away too early, but I will say the story is about a leg.

That was a great piece on Mitch in today's paper. It's cool that you were able to turn it into a full-blown feature story.

Thanks for reading. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.

Thanks for the add, Van. Did you know we have an up and coming Marvel artist right here in River City, aka Little Rock? Might be a nice piece for one of your columns sometime...

I didn't know. Who is it? That would definitely make for a good piece.

And sorry for the late reply. I'm just getting going on this site a bit at a time.

Mitch Breitweiser (http://www.comicspace.com/mitch_breitweiser/) is the Little Rock artist I was telling you about.

Tell him I sent you!
