About me: A one-time cartoonist, Ed Brubaker has been working as a writer since the early 90s, and in that time his work has won several awards and been translated into eleven languages around the world. He primarily works in comics, but has also written screenplays and someday would like to finish a novel, since he's got so many started.
He currently resides in Seattle, Washington with his wife, Melanie, and three lovely pets.
And please please please don't send me your story ideas. Even if I wanted to, I cannot read them. It's a legal thing, because I make a living as a fiction writer. I can't read unpublished submissions by total strangers... um, I mean, friends on myspace.
And no, I can't get you in at Marvel...I'm sorry. Try Bendis.
My graphic novel HAUNTED is now available for preorder at your local comic shop. The easiest way to describe it is "Goonies in a haunted house." You can check it out at www.hauntedcomic.com
Haunted won the Xeric award established by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle co-creator Peter Laird. If you like what you see please ask your comic shop to order it and be sure to tell any friends you think would like it.

I'm an indy creator so every bit of support makes a difference. Thanks for
It's simply amazing that we've been doing these videos for a year now. Over the past year we've completed two volumes of videos. Sit back and enjoy my favorite ten moments from the past year.
Keep en eye open for the start of Vol. 3. We have a ton of videos from the Big Apple Con in NY, a new series called Variant Edition, and favorites like SUPERSTARS.
Check out the new episode of Cee Diddy & Kyle: SUPERSTARS. This week the boys try to find fame by starting a fight with those who are already famous. It sounds like a good idea to me.
It's a new month so its time for another look at Kyle's favorite comic book company, Aspen Comics. Last month Cee Diddy was pretty brutal but has promised to change his tune this time around. Check out the video and please comment and rate so Kyle doesn't cry that Kat-El gets more views.
This week we have a new episode of Cee Diddy and Kyle Superstars. Watch as the boys explain what a fanboy is and why you should hug one if they cross your path.
We also have a repost of episode 5. I think some people missed this one because of the Hitler parody that went up the same week.
