Most of the booths started the Con like this: Lay out a nice table cloth. Stack every single book, print and flier you’ve ever had printed into giant stacks. Set up a huge banner to draw attention. Rig up lights to highlight said banner. Sit on your ass and wait for the excited customers. They [...]

Now that I’ve had some time to relax, I’d like to share some thoughts on my experience with San Diego Comic Con and working with Arsenic Lullaby. Over the next few days, I’ll have a post about some aspect of my experience there. Today is just about the setting: San Diego. I didn’t see much [...]

I don’t want to stand out as some comic book nerd, not because I look down on them, but I really don’t read superhero comics. They’re not for me. I am however a video game fan, and I was just looking at the new Batman game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, and I think I’ve discovered the [...]

This is a special Saturday blog to put out the word that my friend Doug, who writes the funniest dark humored comics ever, is releasing a new comic book. Doug does everything by himself and is uncompromisingly funny because of it.   I’m saying this not only because I want to help my friend out, [...]
