    Well, it’s now officially available for pre-order! Yes, you too can own the beautiful cover art I created, attached to a wonderful comic book written by my friend, Ron "AAlgar" Watt. As AAl puts it:

    This is it— the end of the backstory and the beginning of the… er… front story.

    Penny Lawson’s life never turned out exactly the way she’d hoped. A chance encounter with a supervillain ruins her budding career in journalism before it has a chance to even begin. Since then, she’s managed to barely eke out an existence, working a thankless retail job, living uncomfortably with her ex-boyfriend, and attempting to slow the loss of her sanity by playing with "Secret War Surplus" gadgets. Now, finally, at age 30, her luck is about to change.

    Also, more stuff happens with that Canopenerman guy.

    Go, now, and consume!

Wish I’d figured that out two days ago. 😛

    Film speeds
    Through the camera
    Flicker flash
    The light imprints
    Scenes of life
    Real or imagined
    Burned into silver
    Spun into gold
    Light returns
    Back to life
    Reflected in faces
    On the edge of their seats
