Marvel's September Solicits
Two from me this month...
X-MEN: MANIFEST DESTINY # 1
The Story: Witness the biggest shake-up in X-Men history. With the mansion in Westchester destroyed, the X-Men are moving to San Francisco. But it’s not just a change in the zip code. Come see what the momentous change in status quo means to the X-Men. In every issue of MANIFEST DESTINY Mike Carey (X-MEN, ENDANGERED SPECIES) brings you an installment of a story featuring one the first X-Men—Iceman. Also in this first issue are stories by C.B. Cebulski (X-MEN:DIVIDED WE STAND, LONERS) and Skottie Young (X-MEN:DIVIDED WE STAND, NEW X-MEN).
Rated T+ …$2.99
X-MEN: RETURN OF MAGIK # 1
The Story: At long last, Magik is returning to the Marvel Universe! But in what form will she return, and to whom will she owe her allegiance? In a touching tale of death and acceptance originally presented in X-MEN UNLIMITED #13, the X-Man Colossus continues to mourn the loss of his beloved sister, the telepathic mutant mystic known as Magik. Meanwhile, in a story from NEW X-MEN #37, Magik’s origin is explored — and her former master, the demon-lord Belasco returns! Fighting his way through hostile terrain and vicious demon hordes, Belasco will stop at nothing to wrest control of Limbo. But the evil sorceress standing in his way bears a striking resemblance to his former protégé. And finally, from X-MEN: DIVIDED WE STAND #2, Magik has indeed returned — but she’s trapped in Limbo, a slave to Belasco! Illyana yearns for her freedom and family, but she must find the lost pieces of her soul, the bloodstones, if she is to escape and defeat Belasco once and for all!
Must Have One-Shot/Rated T+ …$3.99

Speechless
First this made me laugh. Then it pissed me off. Now I don't know what to think...
The Vader bit is pretty well done, and the Emperor's laugh is a nice touch. But seriously now, Lucas approved this?!

Pilot Season
The collection of comics that were a part of Top Cow's first Pilot Season program went on sale today. Not only is it a great TPB full of classic Cow characters re-interpreted by some amazing creators, but it also sports a lovely new original cover by Kenneth Rocafort, who is one of my favorite new artists, as well as an introduction by yours truly. They were even kind enough to put my name on the cover! Check it out...

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."

It ships with two covers, the original French cover art and this new variant...

Iron Man Rocked!
I had the pleasure of seeing a press screening this weekend. I was BLOWN AWAY! The movie is incredible!! I still get goose bumps thinking about parts of it! Robert Downey Jr. steals the show. He IS Tony Stark! Really, almost every character is perfectly cast and Favreau is a genius the way he built and paced the film. Iron Man has now now my favorite super hero movie! Sorry X-Men 2...

I'm Getting A Comic Book Tattoo
TORI AMOS INKS THE COMIC BOOK TATTOO!
This July the ever-growing relationship between comics and music reaches new heights as Tori Amos and Image Comics release COMIC BOOK TATTOO, a 480-page, full color anthology adapting the themes and ideas behind her songs into a lush volume of sequential art.
“I have been surprised, excited and pleasantly shocked by these comics that are extensions of the songs that I have loved and therefore welcome these amazing stories of pictures and words because they are uncompromisingly inspiring,” says Amos. “It shows you thought is a powerful formidable essence and can have a breathtaking domino effect."
To assemble COMIC BOOK TATTOO's diverse roster of talent, Amos worked alongside editor Rantz Hoseley, co-creator behind the upcoming DISPLACED
PERSONS and VIX. Together they formed a line up featuring Y: THE LAST MAN's Pia Guerra, Leah Moore, John Reppion David Mack, Hope Larson, Ryan Kelly, Jonathan Hickman, Colleen Doran, Eric Canete, Ted McKeever, Jock, Anthony Johnston, Dame Darcy, Carla Speed McNeil, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Mark Buckingham, Ivan Brandon, C.B. Cebulski and many more, including an introduction by SANDMAN creator Neil Gaiman.
Editor Hoseley added, "While the connections between comics and music have been long established by generations of creators, Comic Book Tattoo is the pure distillation of how these two art forms inspire and feed off of each other across all the classifications, genres and styles of comic storytelling. Like Tori’s music, these stories run the gamut of human experience, emotion and imagination brought to life by some of the most compelling and innovative creators in the field of comics."
COMIC BOOK TATTOO, a 12” x 12” 480-page anthology, will be in stores July 23rd.

Never let it be said...
...that the Australians don't like their drink!
They may make their JaegerBombs just like we do, but down here in Oz they get all creative and drink them after tipping over the glasses into each other like dominoes! Kind of a pain in the ass to shoot after that, but fun to watch and marvel at when you're half in the bag.
We were also introduced to a few new shots, like the Pancake, which is vodka, Bailey's and something else I forget, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a sugared rim. It tastes just like... you guessed it... a pancake! It really does!
And these bad boys below were Jam Donuts, which are Bailey's, Chambord and something else, also with sugared rims, that tasted just like jam, or jelly for us Americans, donuts! Again, the similar taste was uncanny.
They may taste good, but are they potent, you may ask? It was our new drinking buddy John Rhys-Davies (aka Gimli from LOTR, or more importantly Sallah from Raiders of the Lost Ark!) who put it most eloquently when he said, "If I put one more jam donut into my body, the half-dozen I'd just ingested will soon be making their way out."
And then there were the Squished Frogs, my least favorite new shot, which were vodka, creme de minte and Bailey's (Yes, they like their Bailey's down here!) with a touch of Chambord on top for the bloody squished effect.
And even though I didn't particularly like them, you wouldn't catch me complaining about them...
However, the clear winner of strongest but most disgusting shot of the night went to the Navy Seal, aka the ABC shot, which was Absinthe, Bacardi 151 and Cointreau. Uggh! Tasted like shit and knocked you on your ass! Even I could only stomach one.
And since I've been asked what my favorite Aussie beer so far is, it's James Esquire Pale Ale. A simply wonderful brew!!

The Company I Keep
So the way Supanova works is that they fly us down for their first show in Melbourne, put us up for a week so we can enjoy Australia, then we do a second con in Brisbane the following weekend. It's a great pop culture event, blending sci-fi, movies, anime, and comics. And as far as guests are concerned, we all tend to hang out and move around together as a group, and as the lowest profile guy on the list, here's some of the esteemed company I'm keeping this week...
In the back row:
Jenny Fallon, author of The Hythrun Chronicles and the Stargate SG-! novel.
My fat ass.
Michael Winslow, Man of 10,000 Sound Effects, from Police Academy, Spaceballs and Gremlins.
Jewel Staite, Kaylee from Firefly and Jennifer Keller on Stargate Atlantis.
Spike Spencer, voice of Shinji in Evangelion.
Front row:
Daniel Zachirou, organizer of Supanova.
Colleen Clinkenbeard, voice of Luffy from One Piece.
Monica Rial, voice of Simca from Air Gear.
Other guests include John Rhys-Davies, who played Gimli in LOTR, James Kyson Lee, who plays Ando on Heroes, Lou Ferrigno, Greg Horn and Arthur Suydam.

Oh, The Places You'll Go...
Fulfilling one of my lifelong dreams, I'm in Australia!! Actually here for work, for the Supanova conventions. We're in Melbourne for a week, then off up to Brisbane at the end of the week. It's been mostly business and con stuff so far, but today the exploring and sightseeing starts. A few quick for now...
My first glimpse of Oz from the plane...
Driving into Melbourne...
My first Australian meal, a Victorian beef burger at Greasy Joe's in St. Kilda. It was amazing!
Rumor has it something prevented them from calling it Burger King here. Looking into it...
Best name for a linen shop ever...

The Little Perks
So here's a patch I requested from an artist today...
I can't tell you which comic it's from yet, but I think it's pretty clear what it will be covering. :)
The only reason I'm posting this is that it made me laugh. It reminded me how fun and/or funny working in comics can be from time to time. I sat here today and spent 15-20 minutes pondering the intricacies of bra design as well as color choices, black or white, and the overall effect our decision would have on the contrast of the page as a whole.
Kind of absurd when you sit back and think about it...

Bizarre
I had this crazy dream last night that Rainn Wilson and I were pro basketball players who quit the game to become lumberjacks. While having lunch one day after a hard morning's logging, we were attacked by a swarm of bees, only to be saved by Britney Spears and Travis Charest who came to our rescue wielding these sci-fi sonic weapons.
Explain that one! :)

Random Cebulski Book of the Week
This week's Marvel Spotlight featuring Laurell K. Hamilton and George R.R. Martin also contains a brief interview with me, discussing breaking into Marvel and Avengers Fairy Tales. I'm still not sure how me, possibly Marvel's lowest selling writer, was able to weasel his way into a book focusing on these two best sellers. Maybe it was the initials? :)

International Flavor
McDonald's Italy has come up with the coolest and most appropriate name for a fast food item ever... Veritgo Fries!
And while I refuse to eat Mickey D's anywhere where the food is as amazing as Bologna, their new Tirolese burger with raw speck ham and grilled onions did make me at least stop and question my decision for a minute...
I have never eaten better than last week in Italy and there are plenty of food pics coming soon...
