Bob Batchelor: BEST author day — when that big box shows up at the door!
No matter how many books you write, the unboxing day is like the best exhale ever — the wash of gratefulness that washes over you; the appreciation of support from family, friends, and loved ones; the grueling work with editors, designers, and the publishing team.
Thanks to all, especially Christen Karniski (unsung hero, as all editors are), Jason Piperberg (amazing covers/illustrations), and Suzette Percival for being my muse, support, and love of my life!

Wanted to ❤️ Thor: Love and Thunder but this movie felt like the Steel Panther of Thor movies 😕 90% of the film felt like they were making fun of a Marvel movie. The other 10% was Christian Bale ⭐⭐⭐
Marvel Studios’ Thor: Love and Thunder
The film finds Thor (Chris Hemsworth) on a journey unlike anything he’s ever faced – a quest for inner peace. But his retirement is interrupted by a galactic killer known as Gorr the God Butcher (Christian Bale), who seeks the extinction of the gods. To combat the threat, Thor enlists the help of King Valkyrie (Tessa Thompson), Korg (Taika Waititi) and ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), who – to Thor’s surprise – inexplicably wields his magical hammer, Mjolnir, as the Mighty Thor. Together, they embark upon a harrowing cosmic adventure to uncover the mystery of the God Butcher’s vengeance and stop him before it’s too late. Directed by Waititi (“Thor: Ragnarok,” “Jojo Rabbit”) and produced by Kevin Feige and Brad Winderbaum, “Thor: Love and Thunder” opened in theaters July 8, 2022.
Director: Taika Waititi
Distributed by: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Starring: Chris Hemsworth; Christian Bale; Tessa Thompson; Jaimie Alexander; Taika Waititi; Russell Crowe; Natalie Portman
Based on: Marvel Comics
Budget: $250 million

Tommy Lee: “Hey Anthony Bozza nice job buddy!!! Fuckin’ hilarious.”
Anthony Bozza is an author and journalist who has written extensively for Rolling Stone and other magazines. He is also the author of bestselling books on Eminem, AC/DC and Artie Lange, and has co-authored numerous autobiographies of artists, including Slash, INXS, and Tommy Lee.
When Artie Lange’s first book, the #1 New York Times bestseller, Too Fat To Fish, hit the top of the charts, audiences learned what Howard Stern listeners already knew: that Artie is one of the funniest people alive. He is also an artist haunted by his fair share of demons, which overtook him in the years that followed. After a suicide attempt, a two-year struggle with depression, and years of chronic opiate addiction, Artie entered recovery and built himself back up, chronicling his struggle in brave detail in his next book and second New York Times bestseller, Crash and Burn.
In his hilarious third book, the two-time bestselling author, comedian, actor, and radio icon explains the philosophy that has kept his existence boredom-free since the age of 13―the love of risk. An avid sports better and frequent card player, Lange believes that the true gambler gets high not from winning, but from the chaotic unknown of betting itself. He recounts some of his favorite moments, many of which haven’t involved money at all. In this candid and entertaining memoir, he looks back at the times he’s wagered the intangible and priceless things in life: his health, his career, and his relationships. The stories found in Wanna Bet? paint a portrait of a man who would just as quickly bet tens of thousands of dollars on a coin toss as he would a well thought out NBA or NFL wager. Along for the ride are colorful characters from Artie’s life who live by the same creed, from a cast of childhood friends to peers like comedian and known gambler Norm McDonald. The book is a tour of a subculture where bookies and mobsters, athletes and celebrities ride the gambling roller coaster for the love of the rush. Through it all, somehow Artie has come out ahead, though he does take a few moments to imagine his life if things hadn’t quite gone his way. Unrepentant and unrestrained, the book is Lange at his finest.
Testament & Dragonlord guitarist Eric Peterson will be signing copies of his new black metal-influenced comic, THE BURNER, at the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con International on Thursday, July 19th from 2:00-3:00 PM.

Eric Peterson:
Greetings, Con fans! I’m so excited to be at San Diego Comic Con on Thursday the 19th with my band Testament to sign some really cool art that we have had drawn up for us, and I have a new dark fantasy comic book with black metal influences called THE BURNER that I’ll be signing there as well! Come check us out at booth #501, say hello, and pick up a copy of THE BURNER!”
The fully original, 20-page full-color comic is only available at San Diego Comic Con. Limited copies available.
Description:
THE BURNER is the first ever black metal superhero! Brought to earth for centuries, avenging the souls abused by power, he now comes face to face with something he wasn’t ready to fight – himself! THE BURNER is a creature from a “dragon planet” within our galaxy who has an otherworldly and inexplicable mental connection (through dreams and visions) to Eric Peterson’s own character in the comic. In the comic, Eric thinks he’s just writing DRAGONLORD songs and lyrics on his own, but little does he know, The Burner is behind it all!
THE BURNER is the first part in a series, and was illustrated by Chimp 9 (Chainsaw Bob [Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted], Marvel Comics, Dead Ahead, Death Race 2010, Vincent Price Presents, TOPPS, DHC, Rock and Roll Biographies, Eclipse), Mats Engesten (Death Race 2010, The Seven Lives of Dr. Phibes, Rock and Roll Biographies), Vic Moya (Star Trek, IDW Comics, Genesis II, Rock and Roll Biographies), and Ross Hughes (SLG, Rock and Roll Biographies, Charlie and Humphrey, Creepy Kofy Movie Time comics) with cover artwork illustration by Christian Hall (Amon Amarth, Dimmu Borgir, Testament).

Chuck D: “Been following T Challa & Black Panther in Marvel since 1968 as a comic head . It was bold then because The Black Panthers were our real life heroes doing real things. Today we dig the Reel heroes but let’s keep finding supporting our ‘real’ superheroes as well. Reality>Fantasy
“We just gotta keep hero leader in context. Older heads told me BLACKfolk were ‘drawn’ into Real heroes before they were ‘drawn’ on a reel storyboard. Case point after USA murdered MLK-X-Panthers in the 60s the next generation followed SHAFT which inspired but left little focus.”
The Disney/Marvel movie, Black Panther, is expected to haul in nearly $400 million over the weekend, making it the highest grossing film of 2018. Starring Chadwick Boseman as T’Challa / Black Panther, the movie premiered in Los Angeles on January 29, 2018, and was released throughout the United States on February 16, 2018.
