My con adventures can be found in bite-sized chunks on Twitter, or over at my official Facebook Page, but I had two announcements I thought I should post here:

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien returns¬Ý10/10/10. That’s October 10th, 2010,¬Ýwith an all-new one-hour special, written by me. Aggregor reveals his plans, Kevin’s secrets begin to be revealed, and Ben’s world will never be the same.

Also, Warner Home Video revealed the title of my next project, so I can finally talk about it. It’s a feature-length animated adaptation of one of the greatest stories in comic book history. And it will be out next spring:

Morrison and Quitely’s All Star Superman.

My alumni magazine’s on-line edition has a very nice retrospective of my career.

“I can work in my pajamas and I get paid for lying,” said Dwayne McDuffie, a comic book writer who has also won several awards for his work in animation, including the television shows “Justice League Unlimited (JLU),” “Static Shock,” and “Ben 10: Alien Force,” as well as comics, including Marvel Comics’ “Damage Control,” DC Comics’ “Justice League of America” (upon which the JLU cartoon is based) and its Milestone line of titles.

“I like writing. I like telling stories. I love comics a crazy amount’Äîit’s so much fun. It’s a labor of love, but it doesn’t really pay that much. I enjoy writing for animation, but it takes a lot of time and it’s a real job. Being a TV writer is like having homework for the rest of your life; you always owe somebody something. Very few evenings are yours.”

Since for once I’m not doing panels all day, I’m planning on hanging out with friends and maybe even buying some comics. As always, if you see me on the floor, say hello, I love to meet you guys, and I’ll always sign anything of mine you’ve got. See you in San Diego!
