On the socials the other day, Ross Richie asked people to post their favorite comic book writer. Pick just one? I thought that was really hard.  My pal and fellow PopCultureSquad columnist, Mike Gold, was also having trouble picking only one. He chose Jimi Hendrix and wrote, “He worked for DC, didn’t he?”

ONE OF THE many really impressive guests we’ve hosted at ITHACON is Chris Condon. He’s a talented writer and an upbeat entrepreneur. He’s kind, personable and so good with fans!

It’s been amazing see him grow over the past few years. He’s been passionate about his creator-owned work. I used That Texas Blood for a reading assignment in one of my classes, and he spoke to the class after they read it!

Recently, his success with big properties, like Ultimate Wolverine and Green Arrow have been so much fun too.

He’s also working on a new project focusing on his creator-owned work, with his long-time collaborator Jacob Phillips. You may have seen the announcement at NYCC.
