The first trade paperback volume of The Midas Flesh, collecting the first four issues of the science-fiction adventure series drawn by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb for BOOM Studios, is now on sale at Million Year Picnic and other fine comic book stores!
Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb have a new book in the work for First Second Books: “One Day a Dot,” a children’s picture book written by Ian Lendler. We’ll have to wait a while to see the book, which “takes kids on the longest journey ever travelled by a picture book – from the origin of the universe all the way to you,” but the creative team is interviewed at KidLitFrenzy.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a holiday season filled with peace, love, and comics!

And at 7:30pm, we’ll have the usual meeting in the usual place: the Nelson Mandela Room, the big room at the Democracy Center.
