I read too many damn comics. This fact was made all the more apparent two weeks ago when I got laid off from my part-time job (otherwise known as the job that lets me buy comics). While I couldn’t convince myself to drop any of my usual stuff last week, this week I was able…
This here comic wasn’t written by one of us on the blog, but it was written and illustrated by a dear friend of ours who attended 24-Hour Comic Day with us in Omaha last weekend. Let’s call him Doom ‘n’ Gloom. He can’t offer us any insight into what went through his mind while he…
The weekend of zombie walks is just a few days away, so here is all the information you’ll need to participate in Omaha. Click on either poster for a much larger version with all the info. • Saturday, October 25: Benson 4-5 p.m.: Meet at The Waiting Room (6212 Maple St) We will have someone…
In the lead: After a little back-story on Morgaine Le Fey and Enigma, “Despero” is revealed to be Kanjar Ro in disguise. Due to his deceit, Morgaine Le Fey’s spell wasn’t completed as it should be. Le Fey and Enigma has become demigods, and their bad from the abyss on the newly Trinity-free Earth. But…
As I mentioned during our live blogging, I was struggling to come up with an idea for my comic. Fin Fang Doom brought some random words and genres to draw from to help inspire people; I drew “real-life,” “horror,” and then stuff like “rhubarb.” I’d had a dream earlier that morning about a dispute over…
The Secret Invasion tie-ins continue to devolve into pointlessness. Where they once shed new light on the background of the events leading up to where we are in the main series, Mighty Avengers #19 continues the recent pattern of telling stories that are sort of nice on their own but completely disappointing as successors to…
The Lincoln Journal Star had an article on Lincoln’s 24HCD event in yesterday’s paper. The works that came out of the day range from the spectacular to the mundane, from the elaborate to the stick. Here are a few of the creators discussing their comic books. Justin McDowell, the organizer of the local event: “Mine’s…
I’m not going to lie to you. I couldn’t think of anything good. This 24-Hour Comic just went from bad to worse, and the only reason I kind of enjoy the final product is because, over the course of the event, I made the decision several times to kill off all the characters and scrap…
Are you still undecided over whether or not you want to follow the upcoming Mega Superman crossover? The bottle city of Kandor has been released on Earth, and who knows what will happen next? All I know is that it’s going to be nine parts, and it’s going to cross through every Superman book. Come…
Here’s the comic that yours truly produced this weekend for 24-Hour Comics Day: Portals of Doom! You may notice that the art quality regresses quite a bit over the course of these 24 pages. The coherence of the storytelling has a similar degradation, albeit on a much larger scale. That’s what a lack of sleep…
