Interview at The Pulse

This was my first interview I did though IM. It was an interesting experience for me. It was a live interview, but minus hearing my own voice (that I hate), which helped. Jen Contino did an amazing job. Here's the link to the interview: Comicon

Interviewed at Mondo

I was interviewed during my signing at Paradise Comics when I was sick with a cold that I was battling for month. Funny thing, now that it's up I'm sick again. I'm so sick of being sick, but that's life with kids as they say. Here's the link to the interview. Mondo

Interview at Indie Comics Network

Here's my interview for After the Cape II where I cough out both my lungs. It was fun. Heh. www.indiecomicsnetwork.com/

Paradise Comics' Store Signing Went...

...well considering I was either coughing or blowing out phlegm at people. It was great to see people who read the first series jazzed about After the Cape II. I think people are going to fall in love with Sergio's art. Got some new people to pick up After the Cape: How Far to Fall trade, which I hope they enjoy. I ended up buying a few things myself (Damn you Doug! Heh.) I can't thank everyone at Paradise Comics enough for their continued support. If you're looking for a great comic shop this is definitely one of them. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. I appreciate all the kind words and continued support.

After the Cape II - Issue One Arriving NEXT week

So it was supposed to be out November 7th, but it's not. We got everything to the printers way on time, but still, things happen. From what I know, something happened between the printers and Diamond. All this means is that people will have to wait a week for the book to come, and for me to be at Paradise Comics to deface as many as I can while I'm there. Oh well, these things happen. What can you do?

How the Signing at Chapters - Markham Went

They provided me with a table at the front of the store which was terrific and much appreciated. I was please to see so much interest with my first trade paperback from non-comic book readers. I got to sign many books, which I hope people will enjoy. Both the costumers and staff were friendly and kind. If I ever get a chance to sign there again, I definitely will. Thanks to all the staff at Chapters for their support and helpfulness.

My First Bookstore Signing

It actually went pretty well. There were many people walking by, trying not to notice the weird guy sitting at the table with his a stack of his first trade paperback. There were also people who were interested and chatted with me. Some even had me sign their copies. (Nothing like defacing books in a bookstore. Heh.) One of the things that I need to figure out how to tell people is that After the Cape, isn't for kids (though when you do say that, people tend to think it's a dirty comic). I had some moms and dads give me that eye popping stare when I told them what it was about. I explained that there is a variety of comics for all ages, so they had to be aware of what to get their kids. Maybe I'll print out a small blurb about the series and see if that helps. I was there from 1 - 5 PM, so if you did show up and I was gone, you can still catch me on November 3rd at the Chapters at Woodbine and HWY 7. (There's also two signed copies in the store.) I do want to take this
