Crypticon Seattle 2013 Follow-up
This is when things get weird, you end up in back to back conventions with no time to write or post because you are going from one end of the country to the other. Crypticon Seattle recently had their best show ever. I don’t know what they changed because it all looks like back end changes, and there was a fai [...]

4. Lines In The Sand
Let me tell you a story about one that didn’t go so right.
One of Five.
My second major film. My MFA thesis. The result of years of work and a lifetime of experiences. My first project in the realm of video…the Sony PD150, to be exact. Cut on Final Cut Pro 2 (and color-corre [...]

Safe Comic Book stores for kids, ladies, transgendered and everyone else
Something tells me I am going to really like 2013 because of this. We have all heard the same old story, about how women have a hard time feeling comfortable let alone spending enough time in comic book stores. When I go to places lik [...]

Loved to Death – Manga is in trouble in the USA
Dang it I even love Manga, and will miss its eventual demise, because truly this is one medium that has been loved to death. It was loved so much that people couldn’t wait for it to hit the book stores, and while Piracy is not the only real reason that Mang [...]

Written by Ian Flemming
Printed by Titan Books
I love Titan, just so you know this is going to be biased because of all the things that Titan does, I have been reading their comic books since the mid 1980’s and loving every inch of it. Titan has been re-releasing the old weekly comic book strips for most of the most popular James Bond stories [...]
Identity Thief from Fanboy Comics
Written by Bryant Dillon
Art and Design by Megan O’Keef
Edited by Barbara Dillon
Produced by Barbara Dillon and Sam Rhodes
Near as I can tell, this is a story about a man, a woman, and a critter that can inhabit other people’s bodies. So not quite like being a cyber identity thief, but more of being able to take over and control your body, su [...]
PAX 2012 Penny Arcade Strikes Again
PAX is legendary, and it might come as a surprise that this was my first ever PAX. But it is worth noting that as comic books become more main stream in their ability to attract audiences, it would be no surprise that comics and video games also have a similar convergence. If you go to a comic con you will see people dressed as their favorite [...]
Something Animal from Fanboy Comics

What an interestingly bizarre trade paper back to get your hands on. Yes I recommend it; it has a nice minimalistic feel to it that goes well beyond your typical slasher killer monster story line. The story cente [...]

Virtuoso Prologe
Written by Jon Munger
Art by Krista Brennan

This is another interesting minimalist comic book, not a lot of writing, but a lot of very good art work that tells the story well enough that you do not really notice that the text is minimal. This is the story of a professor that is frustrated by just about ever [...]
