Captain Heroic has a showdown with Countess Influencia, but the former waitress isn't interested in going back to the diner — and she certainly isn't hearing his excuses! She has the city at her feet, and in her book, that's a win!
Fairmount City's top hero sees it differently. There's a big difference between trending and mattering. The Countess may be impossible to ignore... but that also makes her impossible to choose.

If you're in the Columbus area, make plans to stop by the Billy Ireland Library & Museum on August 8th from 1-5 p.m. It's a free event, and I'll be there sketching and signing along with a bunch of my pals from the NCS.

A big, fat, NY thank you to all my friends in the Big Apple who went to Midtown Comics to buy copies of the Evil Inc Annual Report, the Lightning Lady book and the Courting Disaster collection! Not only have they had great success selling them on their Web site, but they just placed a very big re-order for their stores!
Midtown will be restocked soon and I’ll be announcing that other store I mentioned shortly!
I can’t thank you guys enough for your support!
