2008 is here, and I’ve gotten caught up enough with work, and taken enough time off to enjoy family and relaxation here, that I can look back on the great things that 2007 brought to me, and look forward to what this year has in store. I’m not a big list guy, but there will be lists in this post just to make it shorter. ...

Wow. I slept great last night. I had wanted to finish up the 3rd page of the day last night, but decided to just get a good nights sleep. Good decision on my part. I’m REAL energized today. So as soon as the wife gets back from helping out at the school with breakfast for my son’s class today, we’re likely ...

this morning I took in a copy of the new Hero By Night hardcover trade, a new issue 1 of the ongoing HBN series, and a KISS 4K Kissmas special book into my local retailer.  The guys there were impressed with the hardcover for sure.  They were also super surprised to find out there was so much more HBN content online for ...

So yesterday I got 4 boxes worth of comp copies in here, 2 boxes of the hardcover collected trade of the original Hero By Night mini-series, a box of the first issue of the new ongoing Hero By Night comic, and a box of the KISS 4K KISSmas special one-shot.  I'm going to run through my thoughts on them real quick here.

I seriously doubt that I'm throwing too many spoilers out there for this, but I did an interview recently that will be appearing in the Platinum Studios releases for the month of December.  Here's the special edition, EXPANDED interview from that for all the rabid fans (probably mostly friends and family actually) that read my ...

in the zone.  I had pinched a nerve or something in my lower back, hip area, last week raking leaves and stuff outside.  Bugged me a little bit while I was in Texas this past weekend, and again yesterday REAL bad, today wasn’t going much better until probably about an hour ago.  Things all of a sudden got like 1000% ...

There are a few things that I've found are a requirement for me to do anything worthwhile while working, and one thing that I've been TRYING to find time for so that I can keep working for a long time to come.  Coffee is essentially the only fuel that seems to power my creative engine without having any real side effects.  ...
