Okay, the wait is almost over. After a pretty long spell of preparation, challenges and long blissful work hours, my new book SIRENS will be making its debut in a special variant edition this weekend at the Baltimore Comic Con. The con organizer, Marc Nathan, was the gentleman who set me up with BOOM!, so this seemed like the perfect way to thank him.

To celebrate the book’s official mass release on September 17th, I am going on my first-ever national signing tour. Six stores and two conventions in two weeks! And all but one stop will include an exclusive variant cover! Here is my schedule (some of the signing times could be extended if attendance warrants):

COLLECTOR'S PARADISE (Signing) (17 Sep 2014)
Winnetka, California

GEORGE PEREZ'S SIRENS #1 (Collector's Paradise) (Sep 2014)

Boom! Studios

Wednesday, September 17th
Collector’s Paradise, Winnetka, CA, 6pm – 8 pm. The variant cover spotlights SIRENS villain Niada and the model for that character, Diana Knight, will be attending to sign copies. Also planning to attend is Akira Lane, the model for the Siren Kage and Jennifer Nguyen (Mazu) both of whom appear on the double covers that form the main image of the regular edition. Other models that will appear in upcoming issues may attend, but nothing's confirmed yet.

KEITH'S COMICS (Signing) (18 Sep 2014)

Thursday, September 18th
Kieth’s Comics, Dallas, TX, 6 pm – 8 pm. The Siren Bombshell appears on this variant cover and the model Chan Everest will be there to sign with me

Friday – Sunday, September 19th-21st
Cincinnati Comic Con. A variant featuring Camille Bishop as Ammo will be sold at this show. Regrettably, my niece won’t be able to attend, but I’m sure there will be future opportunities to get her autograph on this edition

Tuesday, September 23rd
Larry's Comics, Lowell, MA, 6 pm – 8 pm. This variant spotlights Highness, the Sirens leader. I’m not sure if my model Margie Vizcarra Cox will be able to attend, but I will let you know if she is.

Thursday, September 25th
Third Eye Comics, Annapolis, MD, 11 am – 1 pm. This cover spotlights Interface. No appearance from my model Sherita Dunbar due to her not living in the area, but please holds on to your copies for future autograph opportunities

Saturday & Sunday, September 27th-28th
Pittsburgh Comic Con. While there will be no variant cover specific to this show, model April Hunter (Agony) will be a guest there as well and will be more than happy to autograph any version you put in front of her.

Tuesday, September 30th
Tate's Comics, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, 5 pm – 7pm, This variant actually will solo-feature April Hunter as Agony on the cover and the lovely model plans to be with me to sign this edition as well

Wednesday, October 1st
Coliseum of Comics, Sanford, FL, 4 pm – 6pm. This final stop is at my local comic shop and the variant will spotlight the Sirens mystic Fanisha. My wife Phoenicia Flynn (Fanisha) will be accompanying me to autograph the books along with several other cast members who have consented to pop into the store and autograph copies, including April Hunter yet again! This will likely be the largest gathering of cast members for the tour and a fitting finish to what promises to be a very exciting—and exhausting— experience.

See you all soon!
