Appearance #55! UFOlogy #3 by Matt Fox!

June 24, 2015

Hey! Three BOOM! titles in a row! How about that?


So, Matt Fox. What to say? First off, for me he's a local guy. And I do like to support the local guys. So when I first saw him at my local conventions, I had handed him one of my flyers. BUT! Way back before he was working on UFOlogy, he was working on a book (that will be released this July from Arcadia, which is basically a BOOM imprint now) titled Long Walk to Valhalla, which looks great and I look forward to reading it.

Recently I went to a signing of UFOlogy #1 and congratulated Matt on his new book. He had remembered my campaign here and said he would pencil me into a future issue. Well, here we are. And a speaking role at that. Love those. Thanks Matt. Can't wait to see you at the next show man.

Appearance #54! Hit: 1957 #3 by Vanesa R. Del Rey!

I do not have a local comic book store. I've mentioned this before. So sometimes I go a few weeks at a time before going to my store. Well... stuff like this happens then.

 
HEY! I was in a comic last week! And a re-occurring speaking role at that, thanks to Russ Manning award nominee Vanesa R. Del Rey!

As soon as I heard Hit was coming back to Boom! Comics for a sequel, I had a good feeling my bad guy character from the end of the series would come back in the future. And while I don't actually have my physical copies in hand, I got a digital version just to check out the appearance in last week's issue of Hit: 1957 #3!

Thinking Kansas City Comic Con...

June 5, 2015

http://www.kansascity-comiccon.com/


Long before it was officially announced, I had heard the rumblings of a second major comic book convention coming to Bartle Hall in Kansas City (the same venue used for Planet Comicon). Sure enough sometime back in November 2014 (I think), the Kansas City Comic Con was announced.

Several creator mainstays of the Kansas City area became its first listed guests. Which is expected. I love that Kansas City (and surrounding areas) has a large comic book community, consisting of awesome talented individuals which I do enjoy chatting with. But what I found surprising was the attention that was being given to a bunch of the non "mainstream" creators. I am a huge supporter of the local guys and it's nice to see them get theirs for Kansas City Comic Con.

Now, I don't bother much with media folk, and I've probably been a fool a few times for passing up getting an autograph or a picture with celebrities in the past. I know most shows use the celebrities as a draw to get some of the less comic minded folk to buy tickets. After all, it is a thin line pop culture wise, I understand. Personally I just don't like the idea of dropping upwards of $40 for a signature and a quick photo. But I digress... the real thing I was looking forward were who they were going to be able to bring into Kansas City who might not have come to a show in the past. Well, they delivered.

Most notably for me is Joe Corroney, Star Trek and Star Wars artist, and DMI contributor! Joe was very gracious to give me a cameo in a recent Star Trek comic (I really, really love ST:TNG) and can't wait to thank him in person.

I look forward to checking out this inaugural show which looks very promising. I feel bad as Planet Comicon every year is like a mini-vacation for me. And so I spent a lot of money on a hotel and bought far too much this year, that I might not be able to commit to the full weekend at Kansas City Comic Con. The show is this August 7th through the 9th (Friday - Saturday), I hope to at least go Saturday to say hi to all my comic friends and meet some new faces.
