Nick Marino signing Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp at Secret Headquarters

I was honored to have so many fantastic friends come out for our Secret Headquarters book launch party for Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp. Rosie Knight, Oliver Ono, Jodie Troutman, and I celebrated our new graphic novel with the legend Godzilla and tons of other cool people.

We also had the opportunity to exhibit at OC Zine Fest, which was a terrific experience. Anaheim really showed up and showed out for the event, and we look forward to being back there again in the future.

On top of that, we received some great news this week via ICv2 -- Godzilla: Monster Island Summer Camp is a bestseller! We landed at #14 on the August charts for graphic novels sold through comic shops.

Next up is Orange Public Library Comic Con this Saturday, September 14 from 12-4. And then, in two weeks, Rosie and I head off to reunite with Oliver and Chad (and Jodie!) in Ohio for a signing at Laughing Ogre's CXC booth on Sunday, September 29 from 2:30-5, followed by a signing at the Laughing Ogre shop on the evening of Wednesday, October 2.

Also, I accidentally made my masterpiece zine last night...
