Like Pro Wrestling? Me Too.

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll often see me tweet about wrestling-related things. It also used to be a part of my day job. I love wrestling, even when I hate it. Funny enough, many people that follow me for comics stuff do too. The crossover is actually pretty obvious (and something I’ve written about at length here). But dudes in tights fighting other dudes in tights, amirite? Anyway, there have been many attempts at bringing wrestling and comics together — meaning using the larger-than-life athletes as superheroes in their own weird little universe — but I never particularly enjoyed any of them. Put my money where my mouth is, right?

So when opportunity to work with one of the best indie wrestling organizations out there — Chikara Pro — I said “yes” instantly. I’m happy to announce that Chikara will host a story of mine that I wrote as the secret origin of their character Frightmare — a character with fantastic visual appeal — as a weekly web comic, which you can find here.

Here’s a little tease from the first page. If you click it, you can enjoy more. Let the Frightmare begin!

Footprints Honorable Mention in USA Today’s ‘Best of 2011’

I’m about to type a sentence I didn’t think I would be:

FOOTPRINTS was given an honorable mention in USA Today‘s Best of 2011 feature in the “Best Comic You Might Not Be Reading” category. Holy crap! Not to mention that we’re mentioned alongside some of my favorite indie books at the moment (all of them from Image Comics)  — Kurtis Wiebe and Riley Rossimo’s Green Wake, Joshua Fialkov and Brent Peeples’ Last of the Greats, and the winner: Mark Andrew Smith and Armand Villavert’s Gladstone’s School for World Conquerors.

I’m honored and elated to be listed alongside these folks and I hope this inspires some people to check out our book. Speaking of which, there’s only one week left to pre-order the Footprints trade paperback, so if you haven’t done it yet, tell your LCS! We’re in the Previews catalog on page 321, or you can order us online from Midtown Comics, TFAW, or any other online comics retailer.

Thanks to everyone for all of their support this year; here’s hoping 2012 will be even bigger!
