A Writing Self

Read this quote by Salman Rushdie today and it struck a chord so I thought I'd share...

"There's a writing self which is not quite your ordinary social self and which you don't really have access to except at the moment when you're writing, and certainly in my view, I think of that as my best self. To be able to be that person feels good; it feels better than anything else."

Tales of the Fear Agent TPB

Got a box in the mail today from Dark Horse and I had no clue what it was. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up to discover comp copies of Rick Remender's TALES OF THE FEAR AGENT TPB inside. This volume collects all the Fear Agent back-ups and short stories people have done over the years for Rick, and includes a little tale that I did with Japanese manga artist Tommy Ohtsuka! I had no idea it was already collected and on sale. I was really happy with the way this story turned out and I hope that you'll check it out and enjoy it! Here's the info...

My Favorite Wonderlost Review Yet

"What Cebulski accomplishes is a simultaneous reminder of why we mature and why we must hold onto our youth, and for someone to have the guts to actually put these reminders into print is either very stupid or very passionate."
