Divided We Sat

Last night's X-Men: Divided We Stand #2 signing at Jim Hanley's Universe was a lot of fun. I signed a lot of Cables and fielded a bunch of Cable questions, invoking the Marvel version of the Fifth Amendment for about half of them. (Sorry! But if I tell you the name of the baby, the chip Marvel implanted in my skull will EXPLODE. I'm doing this for your own safety.) I also had two nice surprise visitors: Jeff Wong, the man responsible for the eye-popping cover of The Archer Files, and Glenn Gray, who's been tearing it up on the online short fiction front. Afterward, the lot of us headed to a nearby Irish pub for beers, grub, Polish jokes (in fairness, C.B. Cebulski and I kind of started it) and good times all around. Thanks to everyone who stopped by—especially Rahadyan, Dion, Richard, Jef UK—and the staff at Universe, who treated us like gold, drizzled with mint jelly.
