Free Hugs? . . .Uh, No Thanks.

Monday, August 4th, 2008

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…)

All Is Well With The Blog Again

Monday, July 7th, 2008

The last two weeks have been nothing but one irritating issue with my website after another. Formatting, links, images -you name it! Much thanks go out to Brian Clevinger for updating my version of WordPress and still somehow keeping my old custom web theme thing intact. (more…)

The Internets Are Made of Hate

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I hope that at some point in the future bad reviews for Atomic Robo stop hurting so much. Granted you really have to consider the source, and some random bunch of dorks with a Blogger account aren’t exactly what you’d call impressive movers and shakers in the comic book industry. Clearly they don’t hold seats on the Eisner Award Nomination comity. (ZING! My first public Eisner joke!) (more…)

We Has Wii

Monday, April 14th, 2008

I’ve actually got something way cooler than Wii to talk about, but since the news won’t be made public until later to day you’ll all just have to come back and look for a second blog post. (more…)

Atomic Robo #3 & Punisher War Journal #14

Monday, December 10th, 2007
Atomic Robo #3 came out last Wednesday, and Punisher War Journal #14 hits store this week.

I don’t really know where to go with this week’s blog. Its nearly lunchtime, but it doesn’t feel that way because the Widget had a delayed school opening due to the snow. I’m not popping acid reflux meds like candy and worrying if I’ll get my Punisher page done today, and I’m not trying to cram the rest of my life into 5 minutes a day . (more…)

Halo 3 : The Halo of Lame

Monday, October 1st, 2007

The only thing that sucks about working until 3AM is getting up again at 7AM to take your kid to school. On a scientific note the experience has added a new technical term to my vocabulary: Vomit Tired. As in “I am so tired that I think I might deposit the content of my stomach onto my keyboard”.

I officially declare today, Monday October 1, 2007 to be a day of rest.

Work Schmerk, Who Needs To Eat?!

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

It feels like its been another busy week here in the Granite State, but I’m not so sure that it has been. I’m just easily overwhelmed. Its certainly been a stressful week though. (more…)

Fat-Ass on FatEye.com

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

The big news this week is on FatEye. So Cheryl Senter (who I mentioned last post) came over to the house and followed me around with a camera and some recording equipment. My wee little mind is still being blown by the whole experience. Though I was basically on the verge of vomiting from nerves the entire time, I still really enjoyed the experience. (more…)

Viva Pinata; Tool of El Diablo

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Last week I lost an entire day of my life to Viva Pinata. If you’re not familiar with this game (Xbox 360), I’ll bring you up to speed.

You are a gardener. Yup, a gardener. (more…)

More Shows -Wah-Hoo!

Wednesday, February 21st, 2007

Okay, staying up until 3AM playing Lost Planet –not a good idea. But honestly, when I sat down around 9:30PM I only intended to play for an hour, then go to bed. I swear. I guess that’s the mark of a really good game –I was totally sucked in. And this morning, I am totally sucking eggs. :P

I keep finding more and more awesome in this game. I was pretty sure I’d seen all the awesome. But each level -BAM!, more awesome. Does anyone remember Bionic Commando? I think it was a game on the original Nintendo. Maybe Sega. Well, in LP, just as in BC, you’ve got this super grapnel launcher mounted on your wrist, which you can use to get to high places -but you can also latch onto the big Bugs and Mechs, haul yourself in, and perch atop them while you empty a clip into the pilot’s compartment, or big buggy head. Awesome.

Pencils are done for ATOMIC ROBO #5, and I’m already getting things moving for KILLER OF DEMONS –looks like we may be moving to a larger publisher whose books are more in line with KOD. I’ll have more on that later –like after I sign a contract. (more…)
