…Just Keeps Knitting, and Knitting, and Knitting!

A vast majority of the corrections I come across in Pre-Press are done at the very last minute, just about when the book is due to the printer to be put on the presses and mass produced to be shipped out to stores.  It’s always nice to be able to work well in advance of [...]

Bringing The Thunder

Bringing The Thunder

I have spent several hours and used several words to worry about projects having to do with my beloved comic books. It is a rarity that I actually get excited about a project prior to its release. It’s even rarer I get excited about a project before it has even started filming.

An Ode to our Art

An Ode to our Art

So, I’m checking out FB the other day and notice that local artist/illustrator Tony Parker is talking about an article he is mentioned in.  Turns out that the dude who wrote the blog (where Tony directed us on FB) was really on NPR talking about comics and then wrote up what happened.  Did you follow [...]

The Process

The Process

Before I start today’s column I want to thank everyone for their tremendous support over my column!  I have been waiting to talk about that project for so many years, and to finally get a chance to, and to be recognized for it across the comic book internet websites, was really a pleasure and an [...]

Seeing Red Could Be Golden

Seeing Red Could Be Golden

One positive aspect of the comic book to film projects explosion is the brief focus on comic book novels. The success of Watchmen has certainly solidified decisions to bring these types of art into the fold. It is nice to see optional titles being captured on film along with individual titles.
