Hi all,

Apologies for all the posts, but we really do need to get this thing rolling.  Once we have a few more details established I will stop pestering you all. ;)

Since we are short of time on this, Larry and I have made some executive decisions concerning Anthology 2.  If there are any problem with this action please direct them to me (jamiecotc@gmail.com). 

Rounding up the latest news from the "black capes"... 'JOKER' GRAPHIC NOVEL [NEWSARAMA] In October, DC Comics will be releasing 'Joker,' a 128 page hardcover original graphic novel which reunites Brian Azzarello with Lee Bermejo -- the team behind 'Lex Luthor: Man of Steel.' This new tale promises to show a darker, more disturbing side to Gotham City's most notorious villain as he escapes from Arkham Asylum to find that his vast criminal holdings have been split up amongst a number of other notoriously noteworthy villains: The Penguin, The Riddler, and Two Face.

The new pages at ASTRONAUT ELEMENTARY keep chugging along with updates on Fridays.

Raina and I will be speaking at this cool library event on thursday:

This announcement by Oni and 60Frames of linking some new comics to some web videos just scream "gimmick" to me.  Or am I supposed to believe that the artists involved got together and said "This story just demands to be told in both comic and video form!!!"

Also, Jennifer de Guzman thinks people writing about comics should write better and broader.  I can see that.  Although you're never going to get people who are hardcore into superhero comic books and its culture to write (or read) about anything else.  Luckily there's lots more to comics these days though...

Hi all,

We need a minimum of 32 pages of content spoken for by September 15^th or the Anthology 2 project will be canceled.  Please let me elaborate.

Discuss.

I know all I have been posting lately is photos. I'm sorry about that! My dad sent me a giant envelope of old photos "for SMILE reference," so they're all of awkward me during my middle school years. Thanks, Dad.

pcweenies.net, uncubedthecomic.com and sivamstudios.com were all down for a few hours this morning. This incident seems to be occurring on an almost weekly basis. I’ve been using Lunarpages as my host for the last 5 years and generally they’ve been excellent, however, within the last two months, I’m noticing increased downtimes. Usually with no [...]
