Great Stuff Coming Out.



After his run on Fantastic Four - I'm pretty much going to pick up anything that Jonathan Hickman writes, even his emails must be great. No seriously, that SHIELD book sounds seriously cool. Also, Old Man Logan is the type of story I love. I don't know why post-apocalyptic stories are so appealing, I guess it's that they sort of invoke and old west feeling in the future. Anyways, I'll probably pick that up as well, not to mention Absolute Justice looks awesome.

A terrific interview



Over at http://www.aintitcool.com/node/42320 - An interview with one of my favorite artists working in comics today - STEVE LIEBER. Steve is an amazing artist, and one of the best inkers in comics. He is also an all around nice guy, and fun to talk to at the comic conventions. AICN did a great job with this very in depth interview! Normally I complain that the interviews with creators aren't lengthy enough, but no complaints here - it's great stuff.

Mickey-Marvel Buyout



Just got sent this image from Al Gordon, who obviously got it from the amazing artist Joe Sinnot. Best editorial I've seen on this whole issue so far. And, great line work too, but that's par for the course when you are talking Sinnot.

Super Lulu

Great classic! Used to watch these with my little sisters on VHS growing up. The animation is terrific and the subject matter is right up my alley.

Two of the best blogs on the internet!



I'm always amazed at how viral the internet is and what a wonderful thing too! As my daughter woke up at 2 a.m. and decided not to go back to sleep ( I was already up). I figured I'd look for some things online, and seemingly at random found two of the most awesome blogs on the whole internet.

1.http://inkdestroyedmybrush.blogspot.com: Is the blog of inker Charles Yoakum. It has all sorts of great stuff, inked pages, links to other cool blogs and all sorts of insights into the comic book industry and art in general.

2. And as if that weren't enough, I also found the GRAPHIC NYC blog by Christopher Irving. Which has an incredible interview with Walter Simonson!!!! If that doesn't get your geek juices flowing, nothing will. Also, tons (literally) of other cool people - too many to mention!

Anyways they are more than worth checking out - so check them out!

Super-Con in San Jose!



Went to Super-Con this weekend, and it was awesome! It's nice to go to the one Con per year where the emphasis in on inking. I also discovered some new books (to me at least) like:



Which is also awesome by the way. Great art, all done in Painter (I believe). I was surprised when Viktor told me that all of the great pen and ink work for this book, was not done in neither pen nor ink! Talk about egg on my face! Anyways, it's worth picking up, if you didn't get to attend the con you can get it here.

Also, I found out about some new products coming soon from Flesk publications, such as:





Al Williamsons Flash Gordon and Mark Shultz sketches volume 4. Wow! Both are available for pre-order here.

Anyways, it was a great convention.
