Howdy folks!  

We're getting ready to head out to San Diego, by the time most of you read this we'll probably already be there!  Lots of things happen at this convention, so news will be revealed as it comes to be after the show. This year lots of news is happening even before the big Comic con!  Case in point:

Aw yeah Little Archie/Tiny Titans  crossover!  Yes!  That's right!  

I think that's all that needs to be said about it!  

The other piece of news is that Billy Batson and the Magic of SHAZAM #21 is the last issue of the series.  I know, I'm sad too.  We've had so much fun with Billy, Mary, Tawny, and the Wizard, i'm really gonna miss them...but not that much cause I know they'll be back eventually. In the mean time, i think you'll really really like the last few issues.

As far as what's coming up for us?  You'll just have to wait until after San Diego Comic Con to find out.

til then,

Peace,

Franco 

Howdy folks!!

Cows!!!  Lots of them in Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!  This issue was a fun one!  Things coming up in the next few issues are cool too.  We work well in advance of the issue that you see and I can tell you, the knock down drag em out thats coming up in issues 20 and 21 is going to rock the whole world of Billy Batson and the gang, but before we get into that- up next is the Mad Mummy!!

Over in Tiny Titans land we see the crisis of all crisis- BABYSITTING!!  Can Supergirl handle it?  check it and find out!  Things coming up there are hair, legions, and more Tiny Titans!

We get asked quite often what else we are working on- truth is we can't tell you- sorry- but trust us when we say its cool!  There should be some info revealed in San Diego so if you could just hang out and check back here next month we might be able to give you some inside track stuff!

One thing we are NOT working on is Birds of Prey but it is one of my favorite books right now and I just love Gail Simone's writing on that and Secret Six so this was for her:

Til next time, peace,

Franco!! 

... and from what we are hearing it does!  We've heard from many of you at shows and shops and email and twitter and we deeply appreciate it!  Recently we received quite a bit of correspondence regarding Billy Batson #19 being the "final" issue.  I can assure you it is NOT!  The outcry from you guys was tremendous, and that's great!  It wouldn't hurt if you let DC know directly about how passionate you are about your favorite characters. You need to  remember that ultimately you guys are ones that drive the market!

Okay!  Now that that's out of the way... Tiny Titans this month brings you the Superpets!  By popular demand you now have a whole issue of Superpets!  In Billy Batson and the Magic of SHAZAM you have the nastiest of baddies in Black Adam and he's got Black Adam jr. with him!  Check out the conclusion of this story that will be sure to shock you.... and it'll be full of lightning too!

Until next time,

Peace,

Franco 

Wow!  You guys are awesome!  Thank you to all of you that came out to see us over the last couple of weeks- Yea I'm talking about you in Boston, and you guys over there in Chicago, and you people way over there in Calgary!!!  You are definitely showing the love for Tiny titans and Billy Batson and the Magic of SHAZAM!  We haven't been in the studio much around here but rest assured your books will be on time!  Never missed a deadline and don't plan to!  That will be put to the test however as we have been in talks about a couple of major projects that will blow your socks off... or at least make you squeal with delight!  As always can't talk about them just yet but keep your eyes and ears peeled in the months ahead for breaking news!  As for the immediate future go support your local comic shops on Free Comic Book Day (and all the other days too) and pick up the DC kids sampler with a pretty spiffy cover by Mr. Art Baltazar and yours truly and let us know what you think.  

PS - for all you Billy Batson fans out there- check out the "easter egg" we placed in there just for you!

Til I see you next time,

Peace

Convention season has begun.  

We've been to a few places already but we're just getting started.  if you don't believe us just check out the list of places we'll be this year and hopefully you'll stop by and say hey!  One of the questions we get asked quite a bit is which character do we like the best.  Well...that's like picking a favorite child but if we were forced to pick from TINY TITANS i would have to say it would be Robin, or Kid Devil... or Supergirl...or Superboy, or - oh well you get the idea.  As far as BILLY BATSON is concerned- again I love all the characters but by far I love scripting dialog for Mary Marvel- she has the best outlook on things and quick comebacks for one so young.  

Anyway...This month we have the all green issue of TINY TITANS!  After reading this all I want is a green milkshake!  BILLY BATSON and the MAGIC of SHAZAM shows us the dark side of Freddy Freeman... and when i say the dark side i'm talking about the color BLACK!

We tell you we're working on stuff all the time but we can't always tell you what it is that we're working on- so you just have to trust us when we say it will be cool stuff coming your way.  One of the things we can now tell you about is what Art Baltazar has been working on- look for these in a couple of weeks in your local bookstores:

Until next time-hope all is well,

Peace,

Franco
