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

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. 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.

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! 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.

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.

I know that the Beguiling and Paradise Comics have done so. Hopefully a few more though. I'll be at some shops to do signings or at least a sign by, heh. I did make some mini posters up to give people. I'll make a list and hopefully times of where I'll be soon. Depending on the weather I may only get to a few places.

Never heard of that shop, but know a few creators in NYC that might.

Man if you drive up I'll buy a coffee (beer would be better, but hey, you're driving )

There's actually a month till it hits (March 14th). I was thinking of something else. My bad, but hey, this gives you a chance to order a copy. Hehe.

Paradise Comics holds great shows, if you have never been, you should! If any of you are attending NYCC, you can meet them there. :wink:
