Glad you enjoyed Stumptown. I hope you make it to another one before too long. And, yeah, Jeff and Jonathan really knocked GRK out of the park.

It’s always a pleasure to see you Brendan. I also had a great time visiting Dark Horse on Monday. Thanks for Green River Killer. It’s a wonderful read.

Oops, I blinked and now I’ve got 15 days to catch up on! Just got my copy of that Skeleton Key one-shot and poured over it, absolutely beautiful.

I’m onboard the Big 2 boycott (also Star Wars b/c it makes me angry). Being a creator now comes with the responsibility of sticking up for my own in whatever ways I can.

Hey Damon,

Thanks! I don’t really like to write about myself all that much, but I’m getting into the spirit. I’ve been happy with about half of them so far, basically whenever I can get into something a little broader than just that day’s goings on (or when I can call out the me from six years ago for being a douche, because screw that guy). If you like Andi, you’ll definitely dig the new Skeleton Key. I’m really happy with how the stories came out, and my barely having to do anything was a great bonus. The issue’s a nice package too, with a sketch section and a bunch of bonus covers.

Just about done with the second Locke & Key, and now that the setup’s out of the way, it’s getting even more bizarre. I love how the theme of volume 2 is basically taking a classic piece of Terry Gilliam imagery and going, “how can we make this even more fucked up?” And they do!

Yeah, that cover was part of the DH100 program where we created special variant covers to give away to retailers who entered a drawing. 100 winning retailers each got ten copies. We told Stan to just go crazy and do whatever he wanted, and the raptors and King Kong is what he sent in. I pretty much immediately needed to own it and put in an inquiry. That SDCC piece is also very cool, and weirdly came up just yesterday while talking about how to handle a different page that’s going into the next Usagi collection.

Glad you’re digging the journal approach. I’m becoming a little nervous about whether the job can really sustain a month’s worth of talk, but things like Stumptown, Eisner talk, and a couple things that will be announced (ooooh) should help, plus some topics I have held in reserve, and who knows, maybe some Pearl District history if things get desperate.

Happy to send some random comics your way. If you really have room for a small handful of the top of the stack, send an address to contact@wrightopinion.com.

Oh man, gotta get me some new Skeleton Key. I’m a Watson fan and a Wright fan! These new day-in-the-life blogs you’re doing are great.

Regarding your last post, I also just read the first volume of Locke & Key after Aaron made me. It was solid!

You have the Usagi King Kong, Dino fighting cover. Nice! If you are only going to buy one piece of art, Stan Sakai is a good cartoonist to choose. I bought Stan’s SDCC Usagi 20th Anniversary art (death of Gen). I am very grateful to have it.

It’s interesting to read about your day to day. I had no idea. Thanks.

Peace, maka
