Friday night was CRAZY.
Yeah, it was!
Brett, Steve Sunu, and I were all together at and, later, laid off from Wizard magazine. Now, we're accepting the industry's most prestigious award. Not bad!
Getting psyched for San Diego Comic-Con next week and keeping my fingers crossed for an Eisner win for The Black Beetle!
