The Search

Looking For Jody Houser

Archer: C'mon, what's wrong?
Faith: It's the last day of the con, and I still haven't seen the writer of my books, Jody Houser.

Archer: Who's this again?
Faith: It's Vita Ayala. She's writing the new Livewire book.
Archer: Livewire? Wasn't she in the Harbinger series too?
Faith: Yeah, like me, she's another breakout character. She's got her own series now.

Archer: Hey, it's Joshua Dysart! He wrote your Harbinger series!
Faith: Yeah, I miss being with him. But a girl's gotta strut her stuff, you know?

Faith: Do you see Jody outside?
Archer: Not a sign. Maybe she's on a panel.

Archer: Babe! We missed the Nintendo Quiz Bowl II!
Faith: Do you even know what that is?
Archer: Ah, it sounds like Martial Arts.
Faith: Trust me, you didn't miss anything. Let's go see the Bloodshot panel. 
Archer: Are you sure that's wise? He's a pretty violent guy.
Faith: I'll risk it. As it's a Valiant panel, we might see Jody Houser.

Archer: Psst. Is that her?
Faith: Yes! Finally, that's Jody Houser!! She's my author!!! 
Archer: I don't understand. What's she doing on the IDW panel?
Faith: She's writing the new Star Trek series for IDW. 
Archer: Oh, I liked that TV series. I'm glad you made me watch it.
Faith: It's not as great as Ninjak Vs. The Valiant Universe, but it's got more episodes.
Archer: You said she had blue streaks in her hair because she was writing your book.
Faith: I guess she's honoring all the unnamed red shirts who will die in her Star Trek stories.
Archer: With those glasses, she looks like a cat.
Faith: Well, cat cosplay covers are popular variants at Valiant. It's her way of signaling that she loves Valiant more than any other comic book company.
Archer: Even though she's not writing your Faith series right now?
Faith: Uh, let's not talk about that. It's too painful.
Archer: Oh. Sorry.

Archer: So what do you think? Was it a successful convention?
Faith: Well, I didn't get to meet Jody Houser, but at least I know she's still writing.
Archer: Maybe she'll write another Faith series after she finishes up Star Trek.
Faith: If her voyage on the USS Enterprise takes her five years, I swear I'll cry.
Archer: You mean like Mr. Spock in "The Naked Time"?
Faith: Oh, you're so awesome.

The Magic of Wondercon

Archer: What's the rush? The convention center won't even be open yet.
Faith: But all the people will be there. I want to see their costumes.
Archer: Are you sure attending another con is wise? Don't you remember what happened last time?
Faith: You mean meeting another villain cosplaying as a giant mouse, who rips off dealers in the exhibit hall, and creates an alternative version of me? The chances of all that happening a second time are incredibly low.
Archer: But it could happen.
Faith: Of course. Anything can happen at a con. We might get drafted onto a panel. We might meet R2-D2 or X-O Manowar. We might even catch a sneak peak of next year's Bloodshot movie starring Vin Diesel. So let's go. Let's see what happens! Let's be part of the entire wondrous, magical experience!
Archer: Baa-leep. Do-ba-beep-do?
Faith: No. I'm sure X-O Manowar would never hurt R2-D2.

Abraham Lincoln Loved To Read

President Lincoln's Punchbowl
White House Visitor Center

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Abraham Lincoln.

He lived in a one-room cabin, and never went to school.

Still, he had a few books, and he loved to read.

So he learned everything he needed to know,

all by himself, to become a lawyer.

In time, people were so impressed by him that 

they elected him a President of the United States.
He risked fracturing our nation for a totally righteous cause.

He's remembered a man of principles, who fought for every citizen's rights,

and as one of the most beloved and respected presidents of all time.

Imagine everything you can accomplish, if you love reading too!

(If you're looking for a fun comic to read, I have a suggestion. Hint! Hint!)

Mini X-O Lost In Sin

Excuse me?

Just because I've got an extra fork, you expect me to share?

No, if I eat it all, I am NOT guilty of gluttony!

Operating this sentient armor burns a lot of calories!

I need all my strength to fight off the next Vine invasion!

Oh very well, have a bite.

But make it a small one!!!

Mini X-O Lost In Space

One moment I was kicking back on the Millennium Falcon.
The next, I wake up in space.
Without astral coordinates, Shanhara cannot return me to the Planet Gorin.
Or Earth for that matter!
Can you believe Han Solo drugged and dumped me?
What a scoundrel!

Mini X-O And Han Solo

Say Han, that was some game, 'eh?
No! For the last time, I didn't have any cards up my sleeve!
Don't worry, I won't take the Falcon away from you forever.
All I wanted was this last trip to Gorin.
It's a beautiful planet, filled with exotic and interesting people. You'll like it.
And as long as you don't try to take over the government, and proclaim yourself Emperor, everyone there will like you too.

Oh, by the way: Senator Palpatine, I've got my eye on you...
