Does Everyone Need a Blog?

Okay. I've caved into peer pressure and gotten a bloody blog. A word of warning however--I'm not terribly good about updating these sorts of things on a regular basis. Chances are, the rate in which I update this will be in direct proportion to how many people actually read this thing on a regular basis.

With that said, what the heck am I going to write about? Comics. At least my take on it.

Okay, I'll be a little more specific. There are three primary things I'll address in these hallowed pixels.

First, I'll keep you updated on my current comic project, SubCulture. For the uninitiated, it's a four issue miniseries from Ape Entertainment due in stores in mid-May of this year. It's a slice-of-life book centered around a comic store and three of its patrons--a closet geek, a proud fanboy, and a passive aggressive femme fatale. Here's the cover for the first issue, done by fan favorite Jim Mahfood!

I'll talk about where Stan and I are on the project, dates, and hopefully give a little inside information about how the process works in genera.

Second, I'll give you my take on things going on in the industry. News, gossip, rumors, how I feel about current comic trends, and similar stuff can and will be covered as needed. It might be in the form of a convention report, a big news event or release, and so on. It might be just a bar story about me and some other creater. Who the heck knows? ;)

Third, I might, just might, give reviews on books. I don't read a whole lot of stuff, and I tend to like the stuff that I read, so my reviews could be a bit biased. But that's okay. I do read a lot of smaller press stuff, so I might turn you on to something you may not have heard of.

We'll see how this goes. Wish me luck.
