Tomorrow is THE DAY!

So it’s been a little quiet here on my end as the release day approaches- can you believe Canada Day is tomorrow?!?!

Last week, I received two cases of author copies of the book in preparation for the book launch at The Uncanny Experience- which is less than two weeks away! The books looked so pretty I immediately ordered a few more copies to have on hand and I really hope they sell well! I will also have a few copies on hand at FlameCon (more on that con once the program schedule is officially announced) to sell to folks. I’m excited to see what questions Chad lobs my way during the book launch. Will I talk about how many times I’ve read X-Men/Alpha Flight and how I never need to revisit that story again? Probably!

My promotional schedule is still chugging along and I am recording various appearances for release throughout the summer and fall. I mean, who doesn’t want more Alpha Flight content in their ears? I’ll be recording episodes over on Graymalkin Lane about Dreamqueen, Roger Bochs, and What If…#59; X-Reads to discuss Alpha Flight Annual #2: and Longbox Punk to talk about Alpha Flight in general. My episode with X-Men Horoscopes will drop next month, and TODAY- my triumphal return to The Avenging Hour to talk about Marrina, the Avengers, and our favorite team.

Last week my interview with Austin Gorton was published on ComicsXF- you should check it out! Austin asked me some great questions and I especially appreciated the opportunity to share who my favorites writers on the series are. The hardest question I continue to get is who my favorite character is: I seem to have a list that gets longer each time I answer.

Over on the X-Factor Files Instagram page (and my own Bluesky page) I have been sharing memes for folks to pick what version of a character they feel like that day. The cool thing about the images is that I am using some of the buttons I churned out to represent the characters! As a reminder- I will have buttons to give out to folks at both The Uncanny Experience and FlameCon this summer. Find me and get a really cool Alpha Flight button I made from actual comics!

Alright, I’m off to prep for my Uncanny Experience panel (Phillip and I are moderating a salute to Peter David’s X-Factor) and figure out a fun way to celebrate the book’s official release tomorrow. Have a great Monday!
