It’s been a bit quiet here since the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter wound up in such a spectacular way. Thanks again to all my backers for putting their faith (and their pledges!) behind the project. I’m thrilled straight through with how well it went. As you might imagine, I’ve been hard at work for the past couple weeks since. …
Review Roundup
A few reviews of my work – both past and future – have come in from different quarters over the past week. Here’s a quick roundup. Over at BlogCritics, Greg Barbrick raves over Book of Extreme Facts. He bought it as a Christmas gift for his son but couldn’t resist reading it himself. I had a wonderful time doing the research …
Magic Pushed Back
As ICv2.com reports today, the Magic: The Gathering comic I’m writing for IDW has been pushed back about five weeks. Rather than having the first issue ship on December 28, it’s now slated to be in stores on February 1. The given reason is “unforeseen printing challenges.” Creatively, I’ve had a great time working on the series. I’ve seen proofs …

BNW Map Unlocked!
A little while ago, my college pal Dan Anderson upped his pledge toward the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter from $100 to $251 to knock us right over the $10,000 mark. That unlocked the color map that Aaron Acevedo’s creating for us, and that will now go out to all backers. Thanks, Dan! Since I slashed $3,000 from the final stretch goal …
12 for 12 (1.0) for $12k
The outpouring of support for this first 12 for ’12 drive has been both humbling and outstanding. We unlocked Book 2 last night, and we’re steaming straight ahead.

BNW Book 2 Unlocked!
This evening, a generous backer pledged a whopping $500 to tip the first 12 for ’12 Kickstarter drive over the $8,000 mark. That unlocks Book 2! Woo-hoot! I can’t tell you how thrilled I am about that. It validates the whole unlocking model, it shows how much faith the backers all have in the project, and it means I get two write …
