Kathleen and I have tickets for the 8 PM performance of “Spider-Man: Turn Down the Thermostat,” or whatever it’s called. Still in previews, of course, which means basically it’s a glorified dress rehearsal. But for us, this is a definite can’t-miss event. I’m figuring it’s either going to be a “Phantom of the Opera”-level spectacle, or a “Dance with the Vampire”-level trainwreck. Either way, I’ll report back here. (No, I’m not gonna live blog it).

UPDATED BELOW with actual spoilers…

Apparently it was still being published.

Now it’s been announced that it’s canceled. So much for that.

Am I the only one who would love to see a new strip where she teams up with (Little Orphan) Annie and (ackk!!!) Cathy to solve crimes? What would you title that strip, I wonder?

I’ll be doing a signing at Fourth World Comics in Smithtown, Long Island, from 11AM to 2 PM. They will be having a 20% off sale, and also a raffle ($1 a ticket) for a set of the first five “Dark Tower” hardcover graphic novel collections, which I’ll be happy to sign. Proceeds to benefit the CBDLF.

Address is 33 NY 111, Smithtown. Phone number is 631-366-4440
