Anyone whose position is, "I could teleport to a hockey game and drop into a commentator role without pause" has my vote.
Way cooler and more professional than teleporting to a Waffle House.
I just backed Year's Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume 4 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/kot...
What's your dream project?
that MAEJ cover is gorgeous!
Launching soon - Dead Money issues 2 & 3, continuing our gritty black-and-white Western horror.

I find I hate them just a bit more every damn year.
8th winter!

London folks, are there any great places for a late lunch near Forbidden Planet (Megastore on 179 Shaftesbury Ave)
A fantastic series edited by a terrific gent.
I did not know about this! subscribed!

My "classic" is Basil Poledouris' Conan the Barbarian soundtrack.
My more modern one is Beasts of the Southern Wild, by Dan Romer and Benh Zeitlin.
Jeez, ONE issue?
Maybe "Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut" (part 2)
Amazing Spider-man #230
Loved that issue.
Saw LIGHTS (Canadian pop electronica icon) tonight with my kid. Fun show. Very energetic and enthusiastic - great crowd energy.

Was it Friday Night Lights? I think it's always Friday Night Lights.
I don't think I've ever posted some of these original characters sketches by Tomás Aira for Dead Money.
Early drafts for Moses Booth.
"MOSES BOOTH, a Southern aristocrat and Civil War veteran running from his demons."
Pre-Launch page for KS campaign for Dead Money (issues 2 & 3!) is up.
Excited to show off Tomás' beautiful art as the tension builds!
Please sign-up!
If we hit 100+ followers before launch, it improves our chances with the mighty algorithm immensely.

thanks, James! more than twice as much story in these next issues! (clocking in at approx 26 pages each).
(is that math correct?)
This is fantastic.
Kickstarter Lessons As We Get Ready To Do It Again
A few "Dos" we learned from last summer's campaignf for Dead Money (a Western horror comic)

SHRINKING is so much better than it has any right to be. (At least the first two seasons - I'm behind, but don't spoil it for me!)
I mean, how can I resist that challenge!
