working my way through a small lull right now, watching a lot of Smallville with my son, and generally not working much more than 7 or 8 hour days the last week (and the weekends off) That’s all going to change rather quickly, probably starting this weekend unfortunately.  Pages are starting to roll in for 2 books due before the end of May, and I have even more pages from another side project to work on as well.

People are saying good things about Hero By Night #2 though, Blake Petit over at Comixtreme.com made it the Pick of the Week this week, here’s what he had to say,
“In a week full of solid comics, but nothing truly mind-blowing, selecting a favorite was actually quite a chore. After much soul-searching, deliberation, meditation, prayer and Cool Ranch-flavored Doritos, I’ve decided this week’s trophy goes to Hero By Night #2. D.J. Coffman and Jason Embury’s miniseries about a guy who finds the hidden cache of a long-lost hero is original, refreshing, and a lot of fun. If you’re looking for a new look at superheroes without the doom and gloom, but with plenty of excitement and adventure, check out Hero By Night.”
It’s really energizing to get good reviews and recognition for such a fun, all ages book.  Both DJ’s kids and my own are absolutely bonkers over HBN, to the point of bugging every day to know what happens next, when does the next issue come out….it’s great to see that kind of excitement in kids under 10.  That’s exactly how I used to feel about comics when I was little.  There is more Hero By Night news to share soon, but I’m waiting to clear up a few details first I think before I share how MUCH more news there is precisely.

Off to get working on some pages from KISS 4K issue 2 right now, while I ponder how rainy days suck the energy right out of you.
