I was at a friend’s house the other day and they had the Olympics on their TV. As a child I hated the Olymipcs because it interrupted the programs I actually wanted to watch. Quantum Leap for example. While I was in Alaska we ate dinner in a bar one night and playing on the big screen was the opening ceremonies and they were amazing. Fake, CGI special effects and all. I missed some of it so I can’t wait for it to hit the internet so I can re-watch it. Thinking that perhaps my pallet for Olympic sports had changed I watched what was playing on my friend’s TV for a few minutes.

Still recovering from Alaska.

Man, what a travel marathon I’ve had the last few months! I’m glad I decided to skip Baltimore Comic Con this year -it might have killed me.

But here, have another Atomic Robo & The Dogs of War review. (more…)

Here is a link to my Photobucket Slideshow. remember, that if you want to view a specific image just give it a click and it will open in a new window.

Also, I have a bunch of new Robo-related links for you.

Day The First:

This week the I Hate Blogs blog is coming to you from somewhere in Alaska. Probably whatever bar in Anchorage I was able to find that had  wi-fi. Perhaps you are asking yourselves, “Since when do they have an Alaska Comic Con?” Well they don’t.

I’m actually here on family business -specifically the disposal of my father’s remains. He’s been dead for well over a year now -we’re sort of a family of procrastinators. We’ve already taken care of the stake through the heart, dismemberment, and incineration. All that is left is to scatter the ashes on the far side of several thousand bodies of running water and we will be reasonably assured that he will not cause us any more trouble. Though perhaps choosing a place called Resurrection Bay to scatter his remains is not the wisest choice. (more…)

Before I get started I have a little business to attend to. Atomic Robo Vol.2: Atomic Robo & The Dogs of War will be hitting stores on August 13th. I did a shit job of begging you pre-order issues 2.1 and 2.2, but 2.3 can still be pre-ordered. Please do so.

Brian is doing a much better job of it that I am.

Also, we got some new reviews and random Internet chatter in for Atomic Robo. You can check those out on CBR, and Comics Bulletin. There are a few typos and misquotes in the CBR interview -that happens sometimes with email interviews. It’s no big deal, and we LOVE CBR -I just wanted to point it out to you guys. Nothing major though; just Brian being quoted with my answers, my response to the final question being omitted, and 8-Bit Theater somehow being nominated for an Eisner. . . I don’t know where that came from. EDIT: Oh look, the uncut version of the CBR interview is up on Atomic-Robo.com.

Okay, on to the blog. . . (more…)
