I found this messing around in my archives today. This is my initial test for 'the look' of The Nightly News (the character design obviously changed.

Changing a few things...

Thanks.

Well....

Well, my book came out Wednesday, and, for the most part, response has been good. The only truly negative stuff I've seen is from people who are having trouble distinguishing the difference between my authorial voice and a character's voice. (which is totally on me, you have to be good enough to pull that off - and I'm not there yet - [saying that, I know that there will be people who never like what I do - there's a difference])

It was good that I made The Buy Pile. Senior Tabu has taste.

People are also posting nice things over on my message boards

And some other stuff happened that was good - but I'll save that for later.

Tell your friends!

Podcast Time

A podcast just got posted that features me. The first part is an interview (I was... okay), the second part is a round table discussion (which is very good).

These guys are very cool and would love some feedback, so make sure you post a comment if you listen.

Here's the LINK

Enjoy!

First Review...

...And it's a nice one.

Don MacPherson used to co-run a very respectable comic review website called the Fourth Rail. It's gone now, but Eye on Comics is his new site for comic critiques.

And with that little kernel of knowledge... Don gives the Nightly News the once over...

Happy Surprises

For the last week or so, every day I've been getting one or two emails concerning The Nightly News. Image sent out a printed 8 page preview to around a thousand comic shops and they seem to be resonating with the right people. So, thanks to every one who has emailed me.

There are also things like this at Broken Frontier - which is nice.

Mom, they all say the same thing - you don't have to read them all!

But, I'm one of the top 5 image covers in November according to this guy.
