Big News! We've just more or less officially gotten word that June 24, 2012, we (or at least I) will be at the German Historical Museum of Berlin's Frederick exhibition, doing a public drawing session (I've got a notion for what I'll be drawing already but I'm keeping it under wraps - suspense, yo) followed by our usual personalized quasi-historical sketch requests, followed most likely by, I don't know, a joyride out to Potsdam or some such thing. So, if you're of a European persuasion, come out and see us/me!!

Rad news!! Do you like science? Do you like scientists being bad-asses of not entirely stout morality? I know I do - the mere potential for such a thing drove me to pick up the first issue of X Club, and the next two, but only in the last hour have I had a chance to read them and, holy crap, are they brilliant. You know what, here, just look at this, if you aren't sold, there's nothing I can say. It helps having a bit of knowledge about what's been happening in X-Men recently, but I think that you can come to it entirely raw and just enjoy scientists being dicks and heroes and pump your fist in the air with every reference to the collapsing of quantum probability space and the mechanics of space elevators. Dr. Nemesis is my new favorite character in the Marvel Universe, and how he is written, the juxtaposition of his own deliciously grandiose self conception and set of priorities with the larger mutant community and its constant concerns over appearance and political one-upsmanship is inspired. It is as if the entire realm of mutant drama is really just there so Nemesis and his three scientists can do their projects, and there's something entirely compelling about that idea.
