Rayguns & Sixshooters

The fellas over at Rayguns & Sixshooters mentioned MAM in their Indyplanet pull-list article and also did a little write-up on the Summer issue.

Rayguns & Sixshooters is made up of Marc Fletcher, Barri Lang, Patrick Goodwin, Eric Dotson, and Anthony D. Lee who are all plugging away at comic booking themselves. We got paired up with quite a few great books, almost all done by friends of ours.

Thanks for the shout guys.

Gelatometti- Scott & Matt LBCC video...kinda

Check out a little video that Scotty and I make a VERY brief appearance in over on the Gelatometti Blog. If i remember correctly that kid was asking for Deadpool...but I don't know.

You can kinda see Ryan behind my fat head, but his books got some primo screen time...so that makes up for it.

MAM caught a beat down...a Bish's Beat!

MAM got another mention on Bish'sBeat. Paul Bishop did a nice little write-up of our first issue way back when and it was super cool to stumble upon this today.

Bish reviews everything records and pulp mags to CDs and comics. Check out his blog here.

thanks alot, Paul

ComicBookCollector'sBlog REVIEW!

We had the pleasure of meeting Michael Hamersky and his wife at the Long Beach convention. He was very engaging and asked alot of questions about the book and our process. It was refreshing to have people ask us about the book and not just scour the table for something free.

Michael did up a great review for both issues- and when I say great, I mean honest. When we get "It's awesome!" or "I really liked it!" that's always great to hear, but when somebody gives and in-depth opinion of what they felt worked and what they felt didn't- it gives us a better barometer for making the book better. A good review validates some things that you thought too (but didn't change) or makes you acknowledge a gut feeling that you had yourself because you're seeing it on paper.

Check out the review at Comic Book Collector's Blog!

Long Beach Comic Con 2009

Some pics from the first annual Long Beach Comic Con.

Mysterious Adventure Magazine creators Matt Bennett and I.

Matt at the Mysterious Adventure Magazine table. We were in between Old Dying Kitty Comics and Taco Comics. At the top left corner you will see a wrestling ring. Yes, an actual wrestling ring where dorks actually wrestled throughout the weekend.

On Sunday Matt and I joined the folks at the Atomic Apple booth and did free sketches for the kiddies. Here are Matt and Ryan Cody hard at work.

Matt and Ryan joined by Jim Hanna.

LBCC poster print for "Stranded"

"Stranded" is a sci-fi spectacular that will be showing up in MAM eventually. It was written and laid out by me with Scotty plotting and laying out as well. We've got Derrick West supplying some awesome pencils & inks while Andy Poole is taking care of the colors (that's right you heard me...colors!)

Scotty and I did this up (Scotty lines w/ me on colors) so that we had another awesome poster/print for LongBeach.
