I was a panelist on "IDW in Depth: Mind-Blowing Concepts, Characters, and Comics" and had a fantastic time at WonderCon in Anaheim last weekend.

I was joined by some wonderful creators to share about our latest tales, getting into the nuts and bolts of making comics and telling fun stories.

The audience was terrific and I was thrilled to talk about Godzilla Rivals: Biollante Vs. Destoroyah. I discussed the kickass kaiju at the core of our comic and dug into the setting of our story, Pittsburgh.

Over at Comicon.com, Gary Catig has a roundup of our panel, including a nice shot of our full lineup and a teaser of Sean Dove's inks that was shared by IDW.

Also, a new cover for our Godzilla Rivals issue has been revealed! This incredible art is by longtime friend Camila Fortuna, who absolutely crushed this beastly battle.

As I write this, there's one week left to preorder Godzilla Rivals: Biollante Vs. Destoroyah. Let your comic shop know you want it because every single preorder counts!

Speaking of comic shops, I'm currently planning signings for May. On FCBD I'll be at Geoffrey's Comics in Torrance. On Godzilla Rivals release day (tentatively May 10th) I'll be at Nostalgic Comic Shop in San Gabriel. And the weekend following its release on May 27 I'll be at Pulp Fiction in Long Beach. I hope to see you at one (or all!) of those events.

ANOTHER UPDATE: IDW Publishing has released some more information about the Godzilla Rivals books announced at SDCC 2022, including a release date for my Biollante Vs. Destoroyah comic, currently slated for Spring 2023.

UPDATE: The panel was @#$%ing awesome!

Tons of fantastic fans turned out to hear us talk about the rad Godzilla comics we've been working on and I loved it.

Nola Pfau from the three-peat Eisner-winning WWAC did a totally sick tweet thread about the panel, covering all of the announcements including the upcoming Godzilla Rivals: Biollante vs. Destoroyah comic book that I'm writing with art by Sean Dove. IDW shared the pencils for our variant cover drawn by Andrew MacLean.

Big shoutout to all of the great comic creators who I shared the stage with and everyone who attended! I'll post more about our comic as soon as I can.

ORIGINAL POST:

Rosie and I will be on IDW's Godzilla comics panel at Comic-Con in San Diego on Friday, July 22 at 4pm in Room 4. Rosie's incredible Godzilla comic is on sale in just a couple of weeks, and I hope everyone gets to see a ton of Oliver Ono's rad art. As for why I'm on the panel, well... you'll just have to wait and see!
