Rich Johnston, whose Comic Book Resources column “Lying in the Gutters” closed its doors recently, announced on Bleeding Cool that his new Doctor Who comic from IDW is being published the week of the 2009 San Diego Comic Con. According to Rich,
IDW have just confirmed it. As Comic Con International: San Diego starts to groan into existence, on Wednesday, July 22nd, so my first Doctor Who comic with EricJ, Doctor Who: A Room With A Deja View is published.
Basically, it’s now become a San Diego Comic Con comic, as much as the Complete Strangers In Paradise collection. Except with mine, it won’t leave you with two slipped discs. Though, thanks to all the time travel tomfoolery within, you might get a slight headache.
This is good news indeed, but the cherry on top is the prospect that Mr. Johnston will be signing copies at the Con itself.
Bring copies of Doctor Who: A Room With A Deja View to Con and I will sign them. We will sign them. Either in passing, or probably arranging an official signing session on the Sunday, after the BBC Doctor Who panel. What’s more, I will number each one I sign… and try to keep the number straight in my head. It can be done.
I’m also going to be at the Avatar booth for a couple of hours each day, so you’ll be able to catch me then, as I write BleedingCool live, from the booth, as it happens.
Any guesses on how many will be up on eBay?
