Brian Wood, Cliff Chiang coming to Upstate Comics

On Free Comic Book Day, May 3, Upstate Comics in LaGrange will be host to a signing with DC Comics' writer Brian Wood (DMZ, Northlanders) and artist Cliff Chiang (Green Arrow/Black Canary).

As far as I can remember, this is the biggest talent to come to the area since J.M. DeMatteis came to the Dragon's Den in Poughkeepsie.

Now, I know that Free Comic Book Day is normally worthless to most readers of this blog, since most of us could take or leave the free stuff offered. BUT, this news really makes for an exciting event, so I would strongly encourage fans to get out there and support it.

And frankly, if you come out and support it, the worst thing that happens is DC is encouraged to send more talent to the mid-Hudson Valley on a more regular basis. Not to mention the fact that this Free Comic Book Day initiative, which is really a pretty good way to get kids reading, will keep going strong.

So, yeah. May 3, Upstate Comics, Wood and Chiang, Be There!
