With the exception of a sporadic posting here and there, I've been away from the boards for the most part over the last couple of months. Dunno how many people noticed, cared, were relieved, etc., but here's why:
First, my main job, which I've been with for seven years now, is in the process of closing down. It's been a wild run there and I've had fun, but the work we've had to put into getting it ready to close has been incredibly time-consuming.
Beyond that, almost every waking moment I've had has been devoted to my other job, the one for Marvel. As was announced earlier this month, the Handbook team will be releasing monthly hardcover editions collecting all of our previous work, as well as updating and expanding the whole thing. So where I was working on one 48 or 64 page book a month, I'm now working on a 240 page book a month, and while it may appear to be a reprint at first, we're doing so much work to these that they're almost entirely new books and I'm doing almost 4 to 5 times the work I've been used to on them.
So anyway, that's where I've been lately. With the video store closing next week, I'll probably have more time to stop by here and piss people off.
