NYCC Wrap-Up and Our First Review!

The signing at New York Comic-Con was a great success! I signed a dozen or so books on Saturday, and I know people bought more, because I sent one guy to the shop across the aisle to get one and he never came back for me to sign it! The Watson-Guptill/Random House people were so nice, and I picked up a couple of Max Collins' zombie books while I was at the booth. The basket of pins I put out during the signing was almost completely tapped by the end, so check the lapels and satchels of any attendees you run into! I signed a few extra copies at the show, and if they didn't sell on Sunday, they'll end up back at the store that handled the sales, Word in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Look for them there! And, of course, unsigned copies are available for pre-order at a bunch of places, although they won't ship until the 19th.

Also, we've gotten our first official review! Master toy reviewer Michael Crawford has reviewed the book and given it four stars! It must be because of our 238 points of articulation.

Pop Sculpture to Debut at New York Comic-Con!

Hi, all! The wait for Pop Sculpture is almost over -- in fact, it just got a lot shorter. While the book will be out in stores on October 19, interested parties attending New York Comic-Con on October 8-10 will be able to buy their own copy at the Random House booth, #2222! Even better, co-author Zach Oat will be signing copies of the book from 3-4 pm on Saturday! (He'll also sign any copies of Twisted ToyFare Theatre you guys bring along.) And the first 100 customers will get a free Pop Sculpture pin, one of two Bruckner-tastic designs shown below! Plus, Zach will be sitting in on a panel on Friday night at 6pm in room 1A21 titled Toys Are Us! How Your Favorite Toys Are Made. Todd McFarlane, Jesse Falcon, Shawn Smith and David Scroggy will also be on stage, and ToyFare writer Tracey John will be moderating! That's a lot of know-how in one room!
