It's always nice to catch you folks up on the interesting stuff that makes it way into my inbox, so here ya go! I hope you find something you're interested in!
The good folks at Isotope Comics are doing a launch party for First Second's American Born Chinese. Writer/artist Gene Yang & colorist Lark Pien will be there. It's September 20th, 2006 at 7pm at Isotope - the comic book lounge, 226 Fell St, San Francisco. Here's a link with more info (including a flyer and a quick glimpse at some of the art for the book).
The always interesting Alan David Doane has a nice review of The Best of American Comics 2006 here. There's a Joel Priddy story in the collection that I thought was excellent, so it's nice to see it included in the volume (the collection was edited by Harvey Pekar).
Scott King has an interesting story about the Baltimore Comic-Con being evacuated here. I love the shot of Don Rosa standing in the midst of the evacuees.
Matt Staggs has a pretty cool interview with Antony Johnston (writer of Oni's Wasteland) here.

Hey, I'm actually in that last picture of the evacuation. Man, profile shots are not my strong suit.
Anyway, the funniest part of the evac was seeing George Perez huddled in and having to follow the guys dressed up (amusingly, but frighteningly) as Wonder Woman and Supergirl.

Antony Johnston isn't the artist of Wasteland; Christopher Mitten is.

...And it's just called WASTELAND. No definite article

Ha! I copied the description for American Born Chinese, and forgot to edit out the "artist" part! That's what you get for cutting corners!
