This is one of those comic book ideas you want to see dragged out as a very long very funny series. The premise is that Unit 44 is the story of Area 51 employees, Agent Gibson and Agent Hatch, who forget to pay the [...]

Brony Convention in Las Vegas Melts down abandons everyone

Yuki vs Panda Revenge, Lust, Karaoke
Yeah I dig this one.
The good people over at Yuki vs Panda send me a link to their Indiegogo and as I am catching up on things, I had a chance to sit down with this one, and yes, I laughed, a lot. Ok, after the really sad crap I wrote about the state of Anime and Manga in the USA, maybe this one will help [...]

It has been a while for Comics Forge
As you know, it looks like we took a seriously long break with Comics Forge and that was unpleasant. So here is what happened.
We had to let all the authors go, we simply are not selling enough independent comic books to offset the costs of running this place. We tried to do this throu [...]

2. So What?
You have an idea. Hopefully a couple. Where to start? Before anything else, before we talk about form or function or timeline or anything, let’s cut to the chase…

1. Experiential
I’ve had the privilege, at 35, of having taught in four colleges and universities. Being a professor is interesting, but if there’s one thing I hate, it’s meetings. The classroom, that’s where it’s at. But what to teach in the classroom? Ah, that’s the que [...]
It is that time again the KBTC Pledge...

Honestly, when we get behind a program we stick with it for a very long time, and KBTC’s ability to keep Classic Doctor Who on the air every Saturday night at 7PM has been a staple of TV viewing for me since I moved to Seattle in 1984. KBTC is the only surviving public television station in the USA that con [...]

Film Synopsis:
“In a story that shows that not all conflicts can be broken down into ‘good’ against ‘evil’, two young men with conflicting goals and extraordinary powers fight to change the world around them. Lucas White is a successful actor enjoying his career, but tragedy strikes as his fiance Rebecca [...]
Looks like our Kickstarter is going t...
Well on a sadder news front for Comics Forge, it looks like our kickstarter is not going to meet its objectives, with 3 days left to go, and only 200 out of 10K pledged, we are pretty much so not going to make it. And in a lot of ways that is ok, because we are going to print with the first ever Comics Forge Presents and you will be able to g [...]

My friend Justin Zimmerman is back at Kickstarter this year having a project that is looking to print the Trade Paperback of the Killing Jar. Comics Forge loves Justin’s work, and since we are using that for our first ever Comics Forge Presents comic book, you know we have to talk about this one. Justin is one of the best independent comic bo [...]
Zenescope needs a little help on Kick...
Honestly I would love to see a Zenescope movie, but with 7 days to go, and only 48% funded, we might not get the Zenescope Kickstarter project off the ground, so if you have a couple of dollars, you might want to send it their way. We have worked with Zenescope for years, including our own special limited edition cover for the Monster Hunters [...]

Zenescope is doing a Kickstarter project for a Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Series that looks like it is pretty going to rock the house. We love Zenescope over here, and consistently talk about their stuff, so th [...]

My favorite independent author Justin Zimmerman has started a kickstarter project for one of my favorite comic books out there, Other Worlds. When I ran into the story line for the Robot Library, I immediately fell in love with it, and really got into the minimalistic story line. What was cool is that I was able to share this with a couple of [...]
Oceanverse the Collected Edition Kick...
Kickstarter rocks because every so often an amazingly cool project comes along that Comics Forge can back, and today we decided to back the independent graphic novel Oceanverse. Unfortunately Mike Schwartz pushed his domain to point only to the Kickstarter project so you really can’t see the art work. But what might come as a surprise to Mike [...]

Picture removed at the request of Madeline Flores — I first ran into Madeleine Flores at SPX (Small Press Expo) this year in DC, and ended up not just getting an impromptu interview, but ended up really enjoying her work. Unfortunately, she was visited by the Grinch this holiday season and has ended up in the hospital. As she states:
I [...]
