. . .But I won’t be attending Wizard World Philly this year. I was ready to suck up the increased airfare –because I understand that gas is not cheap and besides, airplane really fuck up the Stratosphere and make the air nasty. But spending 4 days in my car for a 3 day con is ridiculous also. (more…)
First of all, after only one year of operations, and just over six months since their first book hit shelves, Red5 Comics has its first movie deal in the works! Its just great to be working with such a company. Scott and Paul over at Red5 really know what makes a good comic book. I got a kick out of this slightly different report since is seems to imply something is in the works for our Bucket-Head. They must have sources that Brian and I don’t since no one had contacted us about doing anything other than comic books with Robo. But the internet is never wrong. . . right?
Also, our first TPB -Atomic Robo & The Fightin’ Scientists of Tesladyne -will be hitting stores on June 11th. You can pre-order your copies now, and to take the work of flipping through the big Previews catalog, here’s the code: APR084084
While Get your War On is the funniest webcomic in the world, that’s not what I’m talking about. Here are some examples of the fine work done by GYWO, I hope I don’t get sued for sharing with you. (more…)
I hope you’ll forgive me, but the internet has been boring me to tears this week. The two or three forums that I post to are dead. Or in the case of the Bendis Boards –packed with inane silliness that I’d like to comment on, but then my email will be bombarded by a bajillion other people replying as well, and it takes days to figure out if anyone is responding to something you might have posted.

I’m back from MegaCon and what can I say? It was pretty awesome. Brian and I were able to pull together about 50 sets of Robo Vol.1 (#1-#6) from our comps and they were all sold out by the beginning of Saturday. Brian put in an order for Robo t-shirts and those were ravaged, as were my old copies of the Robo Sketchbook. I got to meet some new folks and see some old friends from Mike Oeming’s Forum.
Remember what I said before about the big Robo news always coming out the day after I post a blog?
Yeah well . . .
All 6 issues of Atomic Robo have gone into a second print run, (or third in the case of Issue #1). They are slightly different than the first printings -Red5 had to use a different printer for the rush job, so paper stock is not the same as the first time around. What can I tell ya? That’s what people get for waiting so long to hop on the bandwagon.
Here are the Diamond Codes for your comic book ordering pleasure.
