1,085.  That’s the number of pages I published this year, whether in the monthly comics series X-O Manowar, Green Lantern, and Green Lantern Corps, or the graphic novel adaptations of Blue Bloods and the Percy Jackson and the Olympians novels.  I think back to when I was starting out, wondering if I’d ever get a single word published.  I’m truly grateful for how fortunate I’ve been.

There are tons of things on tap for next year.  Launching in June will be my first event miniseries, the four-part Armor Hunters story for Valiant.  Everything we’ve done over the first two years of X-O Manowar has been building to this.  I’ve also been working in secret for months on a new DC project that will most likely be announced any day now.  It’s a dream gig completely unlike anything I’ve done before, which is exactly the way I like it.

My continued thanks go out to all the publishers, editors, and collaborators who make writing such an enjoyable way to make a living.  And, most importantly, the readers who support my work each month.  See you in 2014!
