Panel 1

Jeremy: These assassination attempts are getting worse.
(Cassie Cruz, adjusting her glasses, speaks confidently.)
Cassie: I've been thinking...
We have multiple projects coming through different departments.
Panel 2
(Jeremy and Cassie stand facing each other, arms crossed, discussing a plan.)
Cassie: We can plant one lie in each employee's case files.

(Cassie smirks as she explains the trap further.)
Cassie: If we see the heroes act on one of the lies...
We'll know which worker leaked the information.

Cassie: Thank you. I'm feeling quite full of myself.

Emerald City Comic Con
I’ve got another big convention appearance coming up at the end of the month. I’ll be at the
Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle on March 31st-April 1st.
It’s my second convention appearance of the year, and it’s the first major Blank Label Comics appearance. I’ll be there and so will Howard Tayler, Greg Dean, Dave Kellett and Kristofer Straub. According to Scott Kurtz, who is appearing at the con as well, this is a phenomenal comic convention.
Aside from Comic Con in San Diego, this will be my only West Coast appearance.
I’ll have copies of
Evil Inc Annual Report vol. 1 and
Evil Inc Annual Report vol. 2. I’ll also bring
Courting Disaster, vol. 1 and
The Best of Gresytone Inn: Lightning Lady — and, of course, the
VILF shirt. Also, I’ll be doing convention sketches and kissing babies.
So bring those babies over. 🙂
