Paying the bills: Derek Kirk Kim writes on his website (scroll down) that he just finished illustrating a Deadman story for DC Comics' next Bizarro book, and now is writing a 144-page graphic novel to be drawn by Jesse Hamm for a new Vertigo line. He's also just completed a Spongebob Squarepants comic to be released in conjunction with the movie:

"Lately I've just been doing a lot of bill-paying work that I can't serialize here is all. Now that I live by myself in downtown San Francisco, I don't have the luxury of being able to focus solely on my personal comics like when I was living with my parents in Pacifica with little to no bills to pay. Now I actually have to do stuff that, god forbid, makes money."
