Greetings DC Nation! We’ve been super busy racking up the frequent flyer points this month as the 2010 DC Nation Tour has been in full swing. I want to say a huge THANK YOU to all the fans we’ve met recently. You guys have been incredibly supportive and cool at the shows and I think a big part of that is the excitement we all feel about the DCU right now. We’ve got All the Brightest Day titles, JMS on Wonder Woman & Superman, Grant Morrison’s Bat-revolution, a new Teen Titans creative team, Paul Cornell’s epic in the making run on Action Comics, a new Superboy title, new creative teams on the Batman books, a new Jimmy Olsen feature that introduces Chloe Sullivan to the DCU, a new T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents series, more First Wave amazingness, and so much more yet to come. We really hope you loyal members of DC Nation are enjoying the ride.

Now we have one last chance to get together and talk about comics this summer and it’s a doozy. Please join us for the Baltimore Comic Con on August 28th&29th at the Baltimore Convention Center. If you are anywhere close to this event you can’t miss it. Heck, even if you aren’t close to this event you can’t miss it. It’s no secret that I love Baltimore Comic Con. Not only is it my hometown show, but in my opinion it’s also one of the premier events a fan can go to and be able to interact with an incredible mix of comics creators. It’s a fan-friendly conventions in every way imaginable. I’d guarantee that you would have a fantastic time if you attend the show, but our legal team gets a little twitchy when I start tossing out guarantees in this space. So I’ll just heavily imply that you’ll have a fantastic time if you go.

So let’s review – come see us at the Baltimore Comic Con on August 28th&29th at the Baltimore Convention Center. For more information please visit comicon.com/Baltimore

Be seeing you in Baltimore!
