Video on the Radio

Geek Hard, the weekly internet radio show with the occasional video, was also at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival last weekend and they interviewed me about Jinx.

New Teen Titans Go

There's a renewed interest in the old Teen Titans Go comic book series thanks to the New Teen Titans shorts on Cartoon Network, and more issues of the series are now available for download on the DC Comics and DC Nation apps. Currently, the first twenty-three issues are available for 99 cents each (issue #1 is free).

It's so much fun looking back at these comics and they look great on the iPad. So, if you're an old TTG fan, check out the apps and take a digital trip down memory lane. If you're a fan of the New Teen Titans shorts but haven't seen TTG before, you might want to give the comics a try too.

The story I wrote is being drawn by Robert Porter (Rat Rage). He's RobaatoX on DeviantArt and Twitter. And he's good.
