I Have So Arrived

Jason Aaron, writer of the excellent and much-admired Vertigo series SCALPED, has with Brians Wood and Azzarello (DMZ, 100 Bullets, and a host of other stuff...if you’re coming from the comics side you know them well) offered me my own forum on their consolidated Virtual Machine of Power, Standard Attrition. That’s right. You don’t really write comics until you’ve got one of these babies. I am so pumped to be knocking around the internet with these guys, all of whom are well on their way to being cult legends.

Where the internet is concerned, I have now achieved market saturation. You can’t hide from me. I m in ur blogz, writing ur content. If you’re literary, I’ve cornered you at RedRoom. If you’re a hipster, I’ll get you at Standard Attrition. If you’re Muslim, I yak at you on TalkIslam, if you’re conservative I’ve probably fought with you on Dean’s World, and if you’re here...you probably know me.

I sometimes don’t know when to be a respectable print maven and when to be 25 and living in a world of unstuck content, the meme-driven Gen Why interculture, the New Society, whatever you want to call it. Today I’m the latter. The revolution will be podcast. \m/. 

The success and recognition is awesome, and you’ve earned it.

Funny story (sorta). I was at the flagstaff library yesterday and saw they had a copy of Cairo. Now, I own it, but I checked it out anyway just because it had been too long since I’d read it. Pure gold. Seriously better than what 95% of the people in the industry are doing right now.

I’m somewhere between the Islamic, literary, and hipster worlds. You are a triple threat such as I can only aspire to be

Really glad to hear CAIRO is showing up in libraries. (More glad that you liked it so much.)

Funnily enough, my agent calls me triple threat.
