Megan Fox breaks it down in a crazy new expose on what’s happening at the independent comic level. Marvel wouldn’t even HIRE someone who’s conservative in the first place, so this ends up the last place Wil Caligan can get a job. Caligan, a conservative Christian, had little chance of survival in that environment. One […]

Richard Fox’s The Ember War: Comic Adaptation!
Yesterday, Castalia House made a big announcement, which is going to make a much bigger splash in the entertainment world than a lot of people might realize. I’ve signed with their new comic imprint to adapt Richard Fox’s bestselling military science fiction novel The Ember War into a graphic novel. Fox is one of the biggest […]
Comic Writing Tips
Over on Periscope I gave some brief comic writing tips as i’m hip-deep in my SUPER SECRET comic book project. I give some good tips, especially on pacing here:
Quickshot Comic Reviews
I hadn’t been to the comic shop in a couple weeks with the unprecedented craziness that went down last week, but I did yesterday, and I caught up on my comic reading last night which was very fun. Here’s a little bit of what I’m reading and my thoughts on it: The Tick #2 by Cullen […]
Comic Review: Port Of Earth #1
Port Of Earth automatically made it to my excitement list when I saw the concept — aliens use water for fuel and made earth into a stopping point along their transit routes. They built a port, which is supposed to be away from human society and supposed to not have them interact with humans, in […]
After Sampling Alterna Comics – They Might Be The Company We’re Looking For
Alterna Comics ran a 25% off sale over black Friday weekend, so I opted to check them out a lot more than I had in comics shops prior (I’d picked up a couple of issues). I picked up their entire catalogue of books from June – October for about $25, pretty incredible given the giant […]
Wonder Woman Page A Fake
My bad, I should have verified the info before posting but it turns out that last WW quote was not real from the book. This was edited: This is the real: Mistakes happen, and we’re definitely so used to seeing it it’s easy to jump at these things that sound exactly like they would be […]
Marvel Ousts Alonso, Promotes New EIC
It’s been reported that Marvel has ousted Alonso. They’ve promoted C.B. Cebulksi who, refreshingly, seems to tweet mostly about creativity and art and not politics. Marvel Entertainment, the world’s most prominent character-based entertainment company, announced today that C.B. Cebulski has been promoted to Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief effective November 17, 2017. Former Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso has […]
Indie Comics Is Where It’s At
With all the troubles Marvel is having, even after their supposed “relaunch”, and while DC is certainly producing high quality art… it just doesn’t have the emotional stakes. Part of this is because of the way the big two are set up with their comics — to keep their characters the same: iconic and unchanging […]
Ninja-K #1
The premise of this book is a relaunch (not retcon or reboot as it seems to follow the continuity and actually care about what Kindt delivered, actually referencing it in the script – which there’s a portion of in the Pre-Order edition I read), is someone’s going around killing all of the prior Ninja […]
Comics to Prose Writing Styles
A lot of readers came here this year, but for those unaware of my history, I cut my teeth on writing in comic form. I became serious about comic script writing in 2010-2011 when I created my webcomic, Flying Sparks, which did pretty well with an audience and lasted 8 issues. Going back and reading […]
My Thoughts On the Brian Michael Bendis Move
I got the first hot take on Periscope this morning, one of my better Periscopes: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1YpKkWMMWQNKj Follow me there or I post all of them to YouTube when technology cooperates. Make sure to subscribe and tell your friends: Big news for comics. And if you want big as in big league, you’ll want to check […]
