Earlier this week, I joined the lovely ladies of Comicosity’s The Hangout to talk about Pawn Shop, all-ages comic books, and a whole lot more. We also go on a massive tangent about super hero pets because of course we do.
Enjoy!
Pawn Shop Commentary – Part 1
The kind folks over at one of my favorite comic book sites, Talking Comics, have been kind enough to do a series of videos going in-depth behind the scenes of Pawn Shop as a sort of commentary track. In the first installment we talked about Chapters 1 and 2, where certain ideas and themes got their start, and why being an “aspiring” writer is BS.
You can check out the video here:
The next installment we’ll have Sean on as well to talk about the art side of things! And again, huge thanks to Bobby Shortle and the rest of the Talking Comics team for being such huge proponents of our little book. It means a lot to us.
Don’t forget you can get Pawn Shop on Comixology in installments or the full OGN at my store.
Pawn Shop Love
It’s been a long time coming, but the graphic novel that Sean Von Gorman and I Kickstarted back in 2012 is finally done and about to go off to the printer’s. Kickstarter backers have received their digital copies (if you haven’t, there’s an update for backers-only on the KS project with a link to download) and some members of the press have gotten their review editions.
I’m also pleased to say that the print edition will feature a foreword by die-hard New Yorker, class act, and writer extraordinaire, Adam P. Knave.
If you happened to miss the Kickstarter, you can currently pre-order the book from my online store and it will ship after the Kickstarter folks receive their copies.
Much to my delight, response has been quite flattering so far. Thank you all. I wanted to post some of the love we’ve received, if only to remind myself that the two years it took to get this book out the door was worth it. Here’s what some awesome people are saying:
Video Interview from LBCC
Hey everyone,
There’s a cool interview with me from last weekend at Long Beach Comic-Con from the Comic Book Corps, which you can see below. My segment begins at about 2:35 (not that you shouldn’t watch everyone else too, but you know).
Huge thanks to Kurosh and the other guys at CBC.
Catch Me LIVE on Fandom Planet
As I get my stuff together for Long Beach Comic-Con this weekend (Artist’s Alley #1312A! Be there!), I thought I’d drop you all a note to say that I’m going to be on Geekscape’s FANDOM PLANET live LBCC webshow on Sunday at 10 AM PST. Yep, live. That means there is a chance you’ll see me vomit! Live!
In seriousness, these are cool guys and I’m honored to be a part of the show. I’ll be there talking FOOTPRINTS and more for about 20 minutes, so tune in if you can!
Be sure to catch their live coverage all weekend (including me) at this link, and follow them on Twitter at @FandomPlanet.
