It's weird. I'll write a couple of issues over six months or so, and then they all hit the stands at the same time. For some reason. This is one of those months.

Dejah Thoris #2 came out yesterday. Carlos Rafael is doing a bang-up job on the art, and what a terrific chap! I managed to track him down through email, which made my month. The great Paul Renaud is blowing me away with his front covers for this series.

Next week it's Queen Sonja #16 (I think, I hope), and Warlord of Mars #6. Joe Jusko is doing amazing wrap-around front covers for Warlord. Every single one is a fresco on the Sistine Chapel of my heart. I love the Lynda Carter look he gives Dejah.

Sales of all the above are really strong. Reviews are great. What can I say? For the first time in my "professional" life, I feel like I'm on top of the tiger. I am so grateful to Joe and Nicky at Dynamite for pulling together so many fantastic cover artists, for committing so fully to Mars. No wonder they're burning up the market share. They were smart enough to hire me!
