Congrats Howard!! All those late nights worked out for you!!!! :cool:

CONGRATS HOWARD! Looks truly amazing. Cant wait to get my hands on them. Speeking of witch... We expect you to be having coppies for the group when it comes out. :D: Congradulations again.

Congradulations. Good work

That's awesome.. When it's made into a SinCity like movie and you are fabulously rich will you still go to the RX-8 meets??

LOL, well, I just have to see how many comp copies I get to pass out to cons et al.

Rich? That would be nice and great change of pace, hehe.

I'm keeping my 8 as long as I can and of course I'll be at the meets, er, try to at least.

Late nights..hehe...yeah, there's more to come with that...back to work with me. Wish I had an office here in Hong Kong so I could be online more...it's like caffine withdrawl...lol.

LOL, same here, that's why I only write. Can you believe that my artist is only 22!

It's still a shock to us that we're getting our first taste of the published world through the big 'ol I (Image Comics). Well, the first hurdle is getting in, now comes climbing over the mountain of staying in :Eyecrazy:

Starcraft Ii Replays (http://screplays.com/replays)

I liked the preview - interesting. Congrats on landing a deal and good luck wringing out the project. I'll look for Issue #1 and tuck away a few copies. :)

Very impresive. Speaking of writing, I myself am writing a book. Been writing since last oct. It's a first person with many true events, kinda like an autobiography, but i'll be throwing in much more stuff just so it won't get boring. :wiggle: dunno if it will get published, nor will I try to get it published since it may not be good.

Good work, and good luck, for I hope to see more.

:smoker:

Thanks for the support!

Just let any local comic shop know the following so they can order it for ya.

AFTER THE CAPE #1 (of 3) carries a cover price of $2.99 ships March 14 and is available through Diamond Previews (JAN071921).

You can also order it online Here! (http://www.mailordercomics.com/prodDetail.asp?PID=149847) at a discount.

I never order anything from there, so have no idea of how they work etc.

Reviewing your own work is the hardest if you ask me. I'm never satisfied with what others say is a finished work. People always tell you to keep writing to get better at it, and I'm here to say yes, but also find time to read and research. :)

WOW! really nice work, both in the writing and the artwork!!

Thanks Cool Blue Dad.

RedSheDevil - Thanks. Who is MissyK? When we were looking for references we used Michele Phifer for the wife Ethan Falls (main character).

When the convention time rolls around I'm hoping to make it out to NYC and Chi-town amongst other places. Depends on how me finances are and so forth.

BTW, I'm currently in Hong Kong for work and haven't seen an 8 since I came. Not helping me since I miss my ride. Public transit is alright, but damnit, I miss my ride.

YAMAHA VINO 125 (http://www.yamaha-tech.com/wiki/Yamaha_Vino_125)

Issue #2 is shipping April 11th!

(Well that's what I read from the Diamond shipping list at least.)


Here are photos from the store signings at Beguiling and Paradise Comics, as well as the view I has at the con I was at. Yeah, I wished I took more pics too--next time I promise. click here for photos. (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v369/hob_bes/Sign/?action=view&current=3e097930.pbr)
If you're wondering. Chris Butcher at the Beguiling colored for a cool cat we know here :wink: He says hi BTW. The man in orange at Paradise Comics is Doug--for the life of me, I can't remember his last name. At the con, I was seated between two fantastic artists. Kent Burles and Alex Perkins.

Both were interesting experiences.

The signings started off slow--for me that is. I just found it a little weird telling people to check ATC out, etc. So my hats off to Chris Butcher who helped me find my marketing legs for ATC. He also hooked me up with some comic work he did with jimmykitty. My daughter kicked ass as a marketing machine. She would cling onto people and then threw that cute smile of hers and whomever it was, was done for. I dare anyone to say no to her (I just know that power of my little gal is going to haunt me later.) Paradise Comics were great all around and got me a Timmies hit. Mmm...Timmies... This was my first shop, sort of. The shop that I was at closed up without telling anyone and a street over was Paradise who did a kick ass thing and honoured the other shop's membership.

For the con, food and bathroom breaks were the two things that come to mind. They were a bit of a battle, but it was all cool. Junk food helped, some of which came by the way of donut bits given by Alex, and thanks to endless sketches that Alex Perkins was doing, I was able to jet off for a sec or two for a pee break. The readers that were excited about After the Cape were very cool, as where some retailers that came up to chat for a bit. I talked about other titles of Shadowline and hope people will try them out, not to mention some retailers too. All-in-all, it was a good time.

Yeah, those girls are the Toronto outfit of the Suicide Girls. I'll try to meet the LA ones in San Diego in July.

I need to see you dudes one day. It's been like forever. This weekend is daddy's day, but I'll see what I can drum up for the weekend afterwards.

I'm just a newbie script monkey who's still learning the ropes. The other people there were industry giants.
