GIANT-SIZE ROOMIES!
I’m determined to get two books out this year. Shortpacked! Book 3 is the preorder everyone should be familiar with by now, but Roomies! Book 2 better be out by the end of this year, too! It’s faaarr too soon to solicit it, since SP!B3 is still in production, but not too soon to finish putting it together. An idea for the cover hit me last night, and no sooner than this afternoon I had it completed to my satisfaction.
Take it in.
Also, I was sorely in need of some freebies to hand out at C2E2, so I designed and ordered some double-sided bookmarks. There’s a strip on each side – my recent Skeletor/Luthor team-up strip for ToyNewsI seemed suitable, and of course you gotta have Batman DDR on there, so I cropped it down into the requisite number of panels to fit. I’ll be handing these out at Penguicon this weekend. A huge purpose of convention-attending I’ve been neglecting is the romancing of new readers. This’ll help me fix that. (If you’re already a reader, you’re still, of course, allowed to grab one.)
Since the new site went live, one of its most awesome features is the ability to order prints of individual strips simply by clicking the $ icon below each strip. Ha ha ha, so obviously the first one that got bought was Mike’s freaky smile creep show. This is great, because I had to take this file into the print shop and have them give me strange looks as it comes up on the screen and again out of the printer. How much is my dignity worth? Apparently $10 and shipping.

That cover is, yes I’m gonna say it, X-Cellent.
The idea hit you last night for a Giant-Size X-men homage… shortly after I post a Giant-Size X-men homage featuring Daleks on Facebook! Thief! Liar! Charlatan! You have taken my very unique idea to make an homage of Giant-Size X-men and do it for your own funny book! How dare you take my brilliantly original idea that I used for fan art to actually make a living! I am incensed!
Seriously though, I love the cover.
Also Mike and Amber’s relationship is SO fucked up. I love it. It feels insanely real is a scary way. It’s like real relationships I’ve known just amped up to a small degree. If anything Mike and Amber should be applauded for being so up front about how fucked up it all is! Most real-life couples just ignore it and paper over it with a veneer of normalcy.
Heh, actually, I was probably thinking of this: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Image:Universewreckers1b.jpg And then, y’know, what IT stole from. There’s Giant-Sized stealing all around!
Oh suuuuuure. Too bad no one ever pays homage to Giant-Size Man-Thing.
Sharon Ventura is back in circulation. I eagerly await Marvel’s publication of a complimentary Giant Size She-Thing comic.
Giant-Size She-Thing & Man-Thing Team-Up!
Hey, the cover has a different tagline in the thumbnail!
Also, it looks like Tony is farting.
Oh jeez. Now I can’t unsee it.
Very nice, after this one you can start getting the “It’s Walky”s out in book form.
Oh, hey, X-Men homage!
I wish you were coming to ConnectiCon again this year, thus making it easier for me to get Roomies Book 2. And seconded on getting to It’s Walky that much sooner.
At this point, shouldn’t the local printers know you (by sight if not name) and actually EXPECT you to bring in weird stuff?
Love the cover artwork to Roomies! Book 2. The last two covers have been pure pop culture genius!
