I wrote a 5 page comic for “Heroes” that you can find here:

I hope you all enjoy!

Sorry for the silence lately, been mired in my own muck lately. I’ll be back with some force after Thanksgiving.

New books arrive tomorrow (Wednesday)

For those of you with an artistic bent, or who just want to know more about what a comic artist uses to make their work, MK Reed has started a blog called Comic Tools where artists like Hope Larson share the tools they use and why.

This dude’s rockin’ the nerd-Goth equivalent of a Mark Jacob’s ad.  Trevor is Meltdown’s resident zombie expert and sometimes exhibitor of gratuitous eye liner.  The Internet is forever, Trevor.

Our very own Matt brought back some great mini-comics and similar odds and ends from SPX earlier this month, and now I’m going to write a few posts reviewing my favorites. First up is Laundry Day by Justin Madson.

My review is going to be simple: you should read this. It’s a quiet little tale with beautiful art that does a wonderful job of balancing a sense of loss with one of wonder.

You can buy it from Justin’s website.

If you’re in the greater LA area, there will be a book signing for The Art of Monster House this coming Monday, October 30th, at Gallery Nucleus from 6-10pm. Meet concept artists Chris Applehans and Khang Le and storyboard artist Simeon Wilkins.

On a side note, if you’ve never read Chris Applehans’ delightful webcomic “Frank and Frank!”, then you are sorely missing out. And his Superman video is one of my personal Gems of the Internet.

Thanks to Flight for the heads-up.

For those who missed our anniversary party, here’s a bit of Renfield for you..
