I’ll post a real Comic-Con International 2009 report this weekend, but in the meantime here’s a photo of Jackie Estrada, Batton Lash and me (far right) at the Supernatural Law booth. In addition to doing one of the best and longest running independent comics books, Bat does a great web comic. Check it out: “Beware the creatures of the night! They have lawyers.” Photo by Robyn Hill.

It’s been a wonderful, happy, scary and weird few weeks in the Lustig household. My daughter’s recent wedding supplied the wonderful and happy portion. The scary and weird part has been something I haven’t talked about, though.
My wife–the amazing Shelagh–hasn’t felt too amazing this last month. In fact she spent several days in the hospital with a really nasty infection that caused an abscess in her nose. (Scary because it could’ve gone into her brain.). She had surgery (twice), but is mostly fine now and should make a full recovery. Really.
Why am I mentioning this now? Well, mostly because we’ve come through this and I’m sure there’s a happy ending. But also because I want to explain why I’ve been re-running a few of my older comics recently.
Frankly, after getting through a month of medical drama and our daughter’s wedding, I decided to give myself a gift: a few days off while I catch up.
Hence today’s re-run. New stuff is coming soon. Really!
