Happy Memorial Day!

Yeah yeah, it is a little late in the day to be doing this, but, better late than never.

I’m a Marvel...

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen these Youtube clips, but they are usually pretty funny. This one in particular is, well downright hilarious.

More cool Spidey stuff

So, Being something of a Spidey collector, people tend to get me Spidey stuff, one of those folks, is my pal Liz, who has thrilled us with her character Rasgal, and well, likes to supplement my Spidey goo-gaas collection by getting me silly Spidey stuff. Her latest addition to my collection are a pair of Spidey place mats...


...(to go with the other Spidey place mats she got me about a year ago).
Now I have a place to have dinner with all my Spidey friends, eh?

Thanks Liz (and I’ll read Rasgal #1 soon, I promise!)

Funnybook people

So, a couple of weeks ago I attended ComicCONN and, well, so did a number of superhero folks..

Talk about “Super” Girls

Wonder Woman & Friend

The Jedis strike back...

...and back again!

Hail! Hail! The gang’s all here!

The Iron Eagle has Landed

Yep, that's right, Iron Man now “lives” in my office. As stated a few weeks back when I was collecting the Iron Man toys at Burger King, I mentioned that I was going to come into possession of an IM “Standee” that the BK near my place was using during the promotion. Well, the promotion is over,and I just now collected the cardboard POP display. It fits nicely in my office.


Oh yeah, that IS a Blow-up Spidey in the background. I got that years ago from my buddy where I used to by my comics when he closed up his shop. Now Spidey doesn’t have to hang from the ceiling by himself.

Yeah, I’m a totally geek, and I completely don’t care.

More about the War

So, a few days back I ran on-and-on about the upcoming War of the Independents that my buddy Dave Ryan is magnificently orchestrating telling you all about the inclusion of the inclusion of Sean Koury's Bounty Hunter, and my very own Wülf Girlz. in this magnum opus, and, bone-head that I am, I completely forgot to mention the Mark Mazz’s King of the Realm and Shawnti Therrien’s Meth in the mix.

Both Mark’s & Shawnti’s work was on display in the first three issues of GWP’s critically acclaimed Psychosis! (soon to be reborn as Psychosis Today from Atlas Unleashed (which, I might add will not only also be publishing the further adventures of the aforementioned Wülf Girlz and my other on-going project, the resurrected Agent Unknown.

Mark’s tale postulates a world where Great Britain's royalty is secretly a race of bat-like creatures, while Shawnti’s character Meth is a tortured soul (who happens to be a vampire) who is in an eternal search for the vampire that caused him to enter into this hellish un-living nightmare into which he as fallen.

Both are powerful stories told by supremely-talented creators, and, should prove to be interesting additions to Dave’s story. As I mentioned in my earlier post, Dave plans on releasing the first issue at this year’s NY ComicCon, so if you weren’t planning on attending prior to this announcement, I would strongly suggest that you change your plans now and come on out, because it is going to be huge.

Anyway, I don’t want anyone to think that I was slighting my good friends and Atlas Unleashed collaborators, I — well — simply flaked. Sorry guys, you folk rock!

Funnybook City

Hey, I just now got the PDF from Main Enterprise for the Big Book of Small Press, which contains my short story, Too Much Coffee, Man! (with art by Jack Bertram). the book is a whopping 200+ pages of wicked-cool art spotlighting all sorts of supremely talented people (and, well me). I haven’t had a chance to read the whole thing as of yet, but just by skimming through it (to get to my contribution), I couldn't help but to be impressed by the level of talent in it.

Sure the book tips in at $18.95, but there are 214 pages and — while it isn’t yet available in a dead tree edition — I understand that Jim Main (head honcho of the aforementioned Main Enterprises) is making it available as a PDF download for substantially less (sorry, I’ve forgotten the price for the PDF, but I’ll let you know as soon as it is available. (That link above is for Jim’s ecrater site where he sells all of his other very cool books, and I’m sure that The Big Book will wind up there shortly).

In the mean time, Here is the cover off the book, and the first page of the art. To see the rest, you are just going to have to pick up a copy of the issue (either electronically or physically).

Oh yeah, not only was I was totally inspired by Shannon Wheeler of Too Much Coffee Man fame, but the most-excellent art in this story is (again) courtesy of Jack Bertram.
