Does any rational thinking human believe Google Founder Sergey Brin is going to even notice the $13 billion rounding error paid to the state of CA should the wealth tax win at the ballot box? It’s not like he doesn’t already live in rarefied air. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has now spent $100 million to fight the billionaire tax

California's Prop 40 would impose a one-time 5% tax on the net worth of the state's billionaires.

SONIC BRAVE NEW WORLD LIMITED EDITION

Saw SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY in 3D. Should’ve been IMAX 3D for the ultimate experience. Still, all I will say is this. Best. Spider-Man. Film. EVER.

I’ve noticed an interesting pattern emerging since Comic-Con. I’m receiving more international orders through Ebay for the Mobian Adventure Series and I think I know why. eBay can track every order up to delivery. Shipping would cost way too much if I offered it.

COMIC-CON THANK YOU SPECIAL: As a gesture of appreciation for my most successful Comic-Con EVER , anyone ordering ANY book from the Mobian Adventure Series will automatically receive a FREE SONIC 35th ANNIVERSARY PRINT signed by me along with it through the month of August.

I’m just throwing this out for a reaction, but I’ve just received a serious offer of funding for an Ixis Naugus volume, and I’m curious to see what the level of interest in it would be.

THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition is now officially SOLD OUT. There are no more copies to be had. Thanks, everyone, for making this release a resounding success.

LAST DAY: Leo 2273D4. The convention hall has opened. Lady Death was on hand to greet exhibitors as we entered Hall D. The experience has been a complete whirlwind and far more successful than anticipated. This convention has cemented Lara-Su’s place with the fans.

The Invisible Man decided he just had to have one of the last copies I have of THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition before they disappeared. A good choice on his part.

Day 3 of @Comic_Con is well underway. THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition is almost sold out. Sold out 1 of my Shadow prints. The Sonic 35th Anniversary is proving to be pretty popular with the general fan base, as I’m receiving a number of orders through my website store.

The Batman is making his way through the convention hall.

Saw this on my way to my booth this morning.

On the bus heading to @Comic_Con for Day 2. It’s been an amazing experience so far. The panel with Scott went very well. On the verge of selling out THE SHADOW FILES Variant edition, which will happen later today. My other books are selling well, especially THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES.

I did manage to see some of the Marvel booth. Of course I’m looking forward to seeing AVENGERS DOOMSDAY. I grew up on these characters.

Day 1 of @Comic_Con has been underway for some time, but I’ve been busy signing copies of THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition & THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS. And yes, the Sonic 35th Anniversary Print is proving to be pretty popular as well.

BEST. PREVIEW. NIGHT. EVER. @Comic_Con. (Seriously.)

Here’s colorist Ethan Alvaree signing his first autograph for a fan, on a copy of the Variant edition of THE SHADOW FILES, no less. It wasn’t long before he signed his next one.

Bernie & I are enjoying Preview Night @Comic_Con . I’m wearing the Knuckles T-shirt along with a Knuckles pin that was sent to me as gifts from several fans. Thanks, everyone! Much appreciated. THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition is selling very well. I’m anticipating a sell out.

Preview Night @Comic_Con is now underway.

Here’s an 8.5” x 11” print I created to celebrate Sonic’s 35th Anniversary at Bernie’s suggestion. I’m giving it away free with my autograph with a purchase of a copy of any of the Mobian Adventure series books. Or one can spend $20 to purchase the print with my signature.

I have a new Lara-Su print that I’m making available for sale here at Comic-Con. It’ll also be available through my online store soon.

We’re still hours away from Preview Night at Comic-Con, but I’m all set up and good to go. I’m located at Table P-02, on the right of aisle 1900 as you come in from the front entrance. Hope to see you there.

Not only are more people discovering and ordering copies of my books, but the real validation are the number of people buying copies of ALL of my books. It's really gratifying and I'm much appreciative. Go to kenpenders.com/product-cate... for details on ordering.

I’m not going to pretend to mourn the loss of Lindsey Graham when in truth he was a sick, evil fuck who terrorized marginalized Americans. I’d wish him a long afterlife in hell if I believed in that sort of thing.

I’m finishing up this commission so I can get this in the mail to its rightful owner. The only commission pieces I’ll take on for @Comic_Con this year will feature a Sonic character alongside a DC Comics character on blank IDW-DC cover stock. $250 just pencils, $350 inked. 1st come, 1st served.

I came home from the post office after shipping out today’s orders to find Bernie had put together a display of my books in front hall for everyone to see. I was touched.

This is my final word on the Ian - Tracy complaints regarding THE SHADOW FILES. kenpenders.com/and-now-for-...

And Now For . . . Setting The Record Straight - KEN PENDERS.COM

For the record, my business dealings with many if not most Sonic creators has been nothing but pleasant and cordial. They’re also very confidential and not subject to public discussion, notably with t...

What I find funny about Ian & Tracy's rant over my inclusion of their work in THE SHADOW FILES is their claim they control something they signed away the rights to. I've seen Tracy's contract while Ian has claimed numerous times he signed away his rights to stories using my characters.

Finally shipped all the pre-orders of THE SHADOW FILES out to the people who ordered them. Now handling all new orders and getting ready for Comic-Con. Had to design a replacement cover for my iPhone 16 as well.

I saw SUPERGIRL in 3D yesterday. Forget the haters. I enjoyed the film, especially the fact that it presented her comic book origin faithfully in flashbacks utilizing Curt Swan’s Krypton costume designs and architecture. Millie was terrific as Supergirl. Looking forward to more.
