is a four issue project called marvel her-oes, written by the crazy talented grace randolph... a sort of smallville-ish reimagining of some of marvel's female heroes (she-hulk, namora, wasp) back in a high school setting... and not only am i drawing it (and having a blast), i was able to do the cover for #1 (which, after all these years drawing funny books, was the first cover i've done at marvel)... the first issue is due in april (and gonna be solicited in the new previews catalogue coming up)...
besides that, there's the marvel free comic book day book with nova and iron man in may (not surprisingly on free comic book day)...
work on the haps has ground to a VERY slow crawl, which is unfortunate, because we LOVE doing it... (but also make NO money doing it at this point... heck, we lose money every issue with all the time and effort inloved)... which isn't to say it's done, it's just taking longer to get done (and we want to have the next arc in the can before soliciting, so it comes out when it's supposed to, not months late...)
have a good weekend, folks!

Hey Craig,
Congrats on the Marvel 'Her' gig. Also thanks for being open about The Perhapnauts. People would think that a publishing gig through Image is a certain thing. Money, prestige, chicks but in the real world, it's great to be invited to the show and to perform in a big way, but if the market is slow and no ones coming to the show, then priorities have to come into play and the money making gig is the one that dominates the time and effort. Don't take this the wrong way but I congratulate you for cranking out a great creator-owned book. You and Todd put out an awesome product and a lot of people know it. However, it's sometimes tough being a small guy surrounded by 2 huge giants and this past years acquisition and then merger has everyone scratching for their piece of the funnybook pie. Good luck my friend.

Very happy and very sad, all from the same post.
Life is like that sometimes.
