Getting ready to head out to MA for the NORTHEAST COMIC-CON beginning this Friday until Sunday. Will spend time with the grandkids as an added bonus. Also, people have until March 20 to get their orders in for THE SHADOW FILES so they can be listed on the SPECIAL THANKS pages.
BREAKING NEWS! I'm going to be appearing at @WonderCon later this month March 27- 29th. This will be the LAST CHANCE people can PRE-ORDER in person THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition at my table. I'll have more details in the coming days.
I decided to show just the finished inked characters featured in the sketch I posted hours ago so I wouldn't give the story away. Ethan will be coloring this once I submit the finished page to him by sometime tomorrow.
I thought people might like to see as I work to complete the last page of the story TWO OF US that I haven't forgotten my roots. Here's Shadow with a fan favorite from the past. This is how I start every panel after the page layout is worked out.
2/ I’m focused on working on select projects while enjoying friends and family. I consider myself semi-retired even though I’m perpetually busy. If it appears I’m Sonic-focused, it’s due more to legacy preservation efforts such as my Mobian Adventure Series collections of my work.
I don’t see myself in a competition with Ian for a variety of reasons. If people prefer him or his work over me and mine, that’s great. His goal in life is was to work on all things Sonic. Mine wasn’t. Ian is predominantly a writer while I’m not. He still has many years of creativity while (cont.)
The Variant edition is sold out, but THE SHADOW FILES is still available. Anyone pre-ordering a copy between now and March 15 will have their name listed in the SPECIAL THANKS section inside the book. Go to kenpenders.com/product/the-...
As I work on putting together THE SHADOW FILES, one thing I know people won't want to miss is how awesome Patrick Spaziante's art will appear given the much higher production values of this book than anything that showcased his work published by Archie.
I simply can't believe Trump supporters have the absolute gall to complain about the Trans-community while giving the pedophile masquerading as a President a pass. Have they no shame? But I shouldn't be surprised. Least intelligent of those among us.
I’d sacrifice Bruce and Thurman for Jack Kemp and O.J. Kemp took the Bills to 2 AFL Championships and OJ ran for 2003 in one season, not to mention, if we’re talking strictly accomplishments, was the premiere Bill in the 70s. I love Thurman and Bruce, but we’re talking Bills Rushmore.
In answer to a lot of people's questions:

I’m thinking of doing a special bookplate to identify THE SHADOW FILES Variant Editions sold at conventions only, but then the other part of me says why not a bookplate for everyone who buys any edition of the book? I’m always at war with myself trying to do the right thing.
…he will be prepping material for the KEN PENDERS’ KNUCKLES OMNIBUS VOLUME TWO. There’s also the possibility I may be releasing THE ENDGAME SAGA alongside the Sally release. At least, that’s the goal for 2027.
I’ll save what’s in store for 2028 for later.
Once I send the completed digital file to the printer for THE SHADOW FILES, I will be focused on getting out the LARA-SU APP as well as THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: SHATTERED TOMORROWS graphic novel. Meanwhile, Ethan will be recoloring & remastering stories for HER MAJESTY SALLY. In addition…
I’m amazed when I hear stories like this. Our readers may have loved us but it seemed like we were the bastard stepchild back in the day where the industry was concerned.
I'll be bringing copies of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS, KEN PENDERS' KNUCKLES OMNIBUS VOLUME ONE Non-variant edition, SCOTT SHAW!'S SONIC DAYS Non-variant edition along with art & prints. In addition, this will be the ONLY con I will be taking pre-orders for THE SHADOW FILES Variant edition.
I will be appearing at the Northeast Comic-Con March 13 - 15 in Boxborough MA along with other fine guests. This will be the ONLY convention I will be accepting pre-orders for THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition. Check it out @ necomiccons.com
It occurs to me not everyone has already seen what makes the KEN PENDERS' KNUCKLES OMNIBUS VOLUME ONE the best version of all the early Knuckles stories ever printed. The images are clear, clean, while the colors the most vivid. Go to kenpenders.com/product/ken-... to order a copy.
I received my first order from Norway today, a pre-order for THE SHADOW FILES. Counting that, I will have shipped copies of my books to Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, Czechia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the UK.
I thought people might be interested in a Sneak Preview of Page 1 from the unpublished Shadow story TWO OF US, which is included in THE SHADOW FILES along with other stories and features. Ethan will be handling the coloring on this one. Go to kenpenders.com/product/the-... to order your copy.
Last night I was interviewed by someone researching the history of SEGA and we weren’t able to cover all my interactions with the gaming company. He was amazed to see the pins SEGA had sent me back in the 90s as they supposedly saw release only in Japan. Anyone care to confirm?
Yes. That’s why I get these proof copies, to ensure everything is exactly what I intended.
I just received the dummy copies of THE SHADOW FILES for my review. I always do this so I know how the covers of my books are going to print.
The graphic says it all. First time this ever happened BEFORE I sent the book files to the printer. I'm debating on getting an extra 50 copies printed and earmarking those for convention appearances. Comments are welcome.
ONLY ONE last copy still available of THE SHADOW FILES Variant Edition before I declare an official sellout. And I know I’m going to hear from readers who bought the previous variant editions expressing distress at having missed out on this one. Go to kenpenders.com/product/the-...

I thought people might like to see the headshots Scott does for $50 extra when people buy a copy of SCOTT SHAW!'S SONIC DAYS. Only Non-Variant edition is available but still worth it! Go to kenpenders.com/product/scot...
ONLY 2 COPIES OF THE SHADOW FILES VARIANT EDITION ARE AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!!!
This will mark the fastest a variant edition of mine has sold out, joining SONIC DAYS and the KNUCKLES OMNIBUS which have also sold out their Variant Editons.

There is only one team, and this summed up my feelings about this year’s Superbowl.
