Still more good news I neglected to share!
Mr. Brian M. Bendis and I are teaming up once again! This time we’re working with Uh! Maze! Zing! Italian artist EMANUELA LUPACCHINO on the sequel to the ABC TV tie-in Castle: Deadly Storm — Castle: Storm Season. We’re well into it already and let me say Ema is killing it. I’m having so much fun working on this book, I kind of can’t believe it’s happening.
For more details, here’s a piece on Marvel.com and here’s one from the TV Guide site.

Okay, so I dropped the ball on the 5 blog posts a week thing. Progress, not perfection, right?
- First off, FEAR ITSELF #2 is out today! Pick it up at your local comic book shop or order online from Midtown Comics!
- Big thanks to Marvel West for inviting us to the Thor premiere in Hollywood. The movie was gorgeous and we had a lot of fun. (Not for anything, but I have to say my husband was smoking hot in his suit.)
- Also also, I stood about 4 feet from Tadanobu Asano and I meeped.
- I’m starting to see the colors come in on Supergirl 65 and they’re pretty, pretty, pretty.
- MTV Geek News had some nice things to say about Osborn 5.
Interview and Greg Tocchini art up on CBR. Check it out!
The action in “Captain America and the Secret Avengers” is triggered by Tatiana, a young girl who debuted in a short story by DeConnick and artist Jamie McKelvie, in last year’s “Enter the Heroic Age” one-shot. In this new story, Tatiana reenters the Black Widow’s life by writing her a letter. “Natasha called her mini-me in the short. She’s a teenage girl who was trained young, like Natasha. She’s also Russian, like Natasha. She’s not super powered, but she is a well-trained, highly competent assassin. She was being traded in an international arms deal when Natasha liberated her. Steve Rogers put her in a safe house from which she has run away,” DeConnick told CBR. “So in the beginning of our story, she has written to Natasha and said, ‘Thank you for believing in me and thinking of me as more than a bullet. I wanted to thank you and say that I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you were wrong.’
Hey, just as a quick reminder–Osborn 3 is out at your local comic shop tomorrow and IGN thinks you should buy it.
Who am I to argue with IGN?
This has been big around our house for months. Can’t wait for you to read it!

Girls Night In
From Greg McElhatton at Read About Comics:
[Age of Heroes #3] opens with the strongest piece in the book, a story starring the three liaisons for the different Avengers teams. It’s a simple but fun premise from Kelly Sue DeConnick, having the Absorbing Man attack Avengers Mansion with only Maria Hill, Victoria Hand, and Sharon Carter prepared to stop him. DeConnick brings the readers through an entertaining chase, and at the same time plays off the three women’s similarities and differences. This is probably the most interesting I’ve found Victoria Hand in particular, who finally has a reason for being slightly defensive when you see how Maria and Sharon treat her. (Victoria’s cold and stuffed-up-nose-accented dialogue are, for that matter, rather entertaining as well.) There’s even nice throwaway bits throughout the story, like the fact that with three Avengers teams there would have to be some sort of equipment-sharing deals going on to try and make everyone happy…
