I hate blogs. Blog.
06.29.08 - Wall-E & Atomic Robo Vol.2.2 (links fixed)
The reviews for the Atomic Robo TPB are starting to roll in. Rogues Gallery, the Comic Book Bin, Geeks of Doom!, and The Trades. I’d like to show them too you -but WordPress is currently all jacked up and I can’t add links to anything.
HUGE thanks to Brian for updating WordPress for me, thus making this possible. I’m leaving the rest of the blog as it is due to time constraints, but I hope you enjoy the TPB reviews. Read the rest of this entry »
06.23.08 - It’s Officially Summer
And as a result I’ve got nothing to show you. Emma is out of school, we spent a few wet and rainy hours at Goss Park, (because swim lessons are rain or shine), and I’ve been trudging through emails for a large part of the day.
I will post something about the Boston and New York trip later this week.
For now, just be amazed. Someone has finally done it; Read the rest of this entry »
06.15.08 - Atomic Robo & The Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne June 18!
The Atomic Robo Vol.1 TPB hits stores this Wednesday. Hooray for Trade Paperbacks, (otherwise known as “graphic novels” to the pretentious, hipster elite). I will be signing at New England Comics for a good chunk of the day this Wednesday. I’ll be at the Malden store from 11:30am-1:30pm, and then the Harvard store from 3:30pm-5:30pm.

And since gas hit $4.03 this weekend, who doesn’t want hours and hours of wasteful driving? Read the rest of this entry »
06.02.08 - Some Bad News
I just copied this directly from www.atomic-robo.com. Luckily, in the grand scheme of things, it’s pretty minor.
Atomic Robo and the Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne will be late. Our printer screwed up and there is no possible way for it to hit shelves June 11th as scheduled. It should arrive the following week, June 18th.
Team Robo turned in all materials to Red 5 on time and Red 5 turned in everything to the printer on time. The printer just misunderstood (or mistyped?) when they needed the job to be done and no one realized it until it was too late to do anything.
Not too happy about this, but I’m trying to be zen about the situation. We did everything right, what went wrong was out of our control, and getting heart-attackingly infuriated about it now won’t fix anything. Serenity now.
Most importantly: everyone who ordered our trade will be getting it. You’ll just get it a week later than expected. What really cheeses me off (sorry for the harsh language, there) is how unfair this is to the retailers where Scott and I were going to do signings. These folks have been plugging us and the trade’s date of release for weeks, and now they’ve got to say “just kidding!” Bleh.
06.02.08 - It’s More Than a Cookie. It’s a Cake.
Y’know what? Fig Newtons are delicious. I just thought I’d share that with you. After not tasting one of these little wonders for at least a few decades I’ve been snacking on them all week after the Widget declared that she didn’t like them any more, and indicated that I should stop putting them in her lunch.
Damn they’re tasty. Read the rest of this entry »
05.27.08 - Long Weekends
Happy Memorial Day everybody.
Unlike most of you, I don’t think I look forward to long weekends anymore. Most of my time is spent wondering, “When will she go back to work, and this other one go back to school, so I can get back to my nice quiet life, drawing comics, and chilling with the cat?”
Hehe! Read the rest of this entry »
05.19.08 - Those Who Dare, Have Sore Asses
So last week was insane as I busted my hump to get Robo 2.2 finished on time, (and failed), I got ready for Granite Con, and tried to earn the digital camouflage for my MP5 in CoD4.
05.14.08 - Granite State ComiCon!
My how time flies. Why, just yesterday, I thought I had another week to get ready for this!
So yeah, Granite Con is upon us! I will be there all day, doing sketches, signing books, and selling art, sketchbooks, shirts, and comics.
This is a great family-oriented show, folks. Its a lot of fun. These smaller, one day shows are usually pretty great. Its very casual, you don’t feel overwhelmed, and unlike at the more massive multi-day shows, the artists or writers that you want to meet will actually have a few minutes to just chat with you.
Also appearing is Ethan Van Sciver of Green Lanters and Bendis Board fame/infamy. Ethan is so huge now, that he can afford to do sketches for FREE. Get them while they’re hot!
You can also come meet Scott Kolins, Joe Hill, Khoi Pham, Keith Champagne, and Bob Almond, as well as dozens of local artists.
05.12.08 - The Internets Are Made of Hate
I hope that at some point in the future bad reviews for Atomic Robo stop hurting so much. Granted you really have to consider the source, and some random bunch of dorks with a Blogger account aren’t exactly what you’d call impressive movers and shakers in the comic book industry. Clearly they don’t hold seats on the Eisner Award Nomination comity. (ZING! My first public Eisner joke!) Read the rest of this entry »
