Apparently I made an appearance on the Marvel panel at Emerald City Comic Con.

My Beard -- February 2011, originally uploaded by Jason Aaron.

I am currently writing SCALPED for Vertigo and WOLVERINE, ASTONISHING SPIDER-MAN & WOLVERINE, ULTIMATE COMICS CAPTAIN AMERICA and PUNISHERMAX, all for Marvel. Actually, I've finished writing ASTONISHING and ULTIMATE CAP, but they're not finished coming out. I'm also already in the actual writing or at least planning stages for three other new projects that will be out later this year.

This is where you can see me this year:

March 26-27 -- Planet Comicon, Kansas City
My hometown show. Always a good time here. Also a chance for me to try and empty my basement of comps.

April 1-3 -- WonderCon, San Francisco
First time ever doing this show. Really looking forward to it.

August 20-21 -- Baltimore Comic Con
One of the best shows in the country. Glad to be headed back.

That's all that's confirmed for now. I may add one or two other appearances as the year goes on, but probably not many. I'm trying to keep travel to a minimum this year so I can concentrate on work.

And by "work" I mean watching "Wipeout" and eating Girl Scout cookies by the fistful.

Happy New Year, all. Know that 2011 will be the year I wear this hat non-stop.

That's me at last year's San Diego Comic Con (appearing in Patrick Meaney's Grant Morrison documentary) on the left and at this year's New York Comic Con (appearing in Patrick's Warren Ellis doc) on the right. Gained a bit of beard and also lost about 40 pounds in between those two photos.

SCALPED #38 and WOLVERINE WEAPON X #13 both out today. SCALPED is a Vietnam War flashback issue while WEAPON X continues the time-bending Deathlok saga. Go read them, won't you?
