Time for an update

It has been a trying and draining two years. This has to have been the most unproductive period in my entire life. Slowy, but surely I am getting back on track with the comics and the movie.

First off:

I am concluding the comic Bluewing with issue no.5. For various creative and business reasons, I've decided to bookend that series there and continue the Saga of Bluewing in a newly titled series and possibly a webcomic or if I can pull it off, maybe even a new regular cartoon series that picks up where Bluewing no.5 leaves off. It will be released in a special 8x11 format and there will be a special compilation in 8x11 available only through Lulu.com. Issues 2 through 4 will be released in color, likely on Indy Planet and I may color issue 5 and make a color comp available through them as well or through the main Bluewing website.

Following this issue I haven't yet decided if my next comic project should be the new series or to get the Wraith #6 done and out of the way. Issues 3 through 5 of the Wraith are still in production art-wise.

Secondly:

I am working out post problems in Adventures in Nonconformity and am currently looking into several solutions and am still deciding on the format length for the web. If it is possible to post 30 min segments I may go that route, but there are certain advantages to doing smaller 10 minute or so episodes.

Thirdly:

My new pet project is a show based around The "Sinister" Mr.X. The goal is do a show with as few actors as possible and be able to do all the shooting and post work all myself and complete the shooting and post in a single day. It's an "X-periment" in DYI using lots of costumes, puppeteering and blue/green screen. It'll take some work to get it going but the goal is that once it's set up, it will not be hard to continue to make them.

That's all for now and as we will be saying on the new show..

X-out..

If I include Rolling Stones in the color comp, I will make it available for free download in case someone wants to purchase the B&W comp, since that's the only story meant to be in color. Taking that into consideration, I may also make the stories not available in color as free downloads to anyone purchasing the color edition.

Bluewing Web Comics on Graphic Smash!!

I'm working on getting Bluewing on Graphic Smash and maybe Drunken Duck and DrivethruComics.

I may even put up some of the old stuff from Superclutz Comics and South Boston Comics. Not as good as my current stuff, but I think it might be of interest to some people. Superclutz ran for four issues and Berkley had two short lived series that went one issue a piece: 8.Caliber and The Toilet Paper of Spider-whimp. Spider-whimp was actually inspired by a sight gag I did with a toilet paper roll. Berkley also used another character of mine in his first issue of Spider-whimp, Aluminum Man. We both did a story a piece for the Not-so-spectacular Spider-whimp, but Berk's grandmother threw them in an incinerator. A damn shame. This was the late 80's and I was treating the first comic as Web of Spiderman and this one like Spectacular so I did my style in an homage to Sal Buscema's style on Spectacular. Likewise when I did the Unamazing Spider-whimp, I paid a nod to McFarlane. Unfortunately, the originals to that one are messed up and the copies we made are all missing a page. I started a second issue and I may still have the originals for that.

When it was suggested by NEC that I probably couldn't use the name Superclutz, I changed it to Dunder Dunce and at that time Berk and myself formed South Boston comics. I still have copies and originals of the preview issue and the unpublished issue #1 which has 2 additional stories in it. I hope to release all of this as a retrospective. However, I don't think the work on most of this stuff is very top notch, hence I will be making this available as free downloads. The only decent comic to come out of that era was Bluewing #1. Superclutz may be seeing a return soon though. Fortunately I am a much better writer and artist now and I have a much better grasp of comedy now as well.

I hope everyone will check all this stuff out when it becomes available.

FREE BLUEWING PREVIEW

Coming Soon!!

The latest issue of Saga of Bluewing Magazine will hopefully feature an article on Dave Ryan's War of the Independents, El Valiente, and the 2 page origin story of The Wraith, told in a similar fashion to the old 2-page Batman origin story. I say "hopefully because" Dave hasn't sent me anything yet (he's a very busy man) and I want to get this to Ka-Blam in time to make the local Bride of Cape con this year at Zeus Comics. It'll feature some blurb regardless, but I was hoping for some pics to show too.

The issue will feature a 22 page re-telling of the 2nd Bluewing story Liberty or Death and this issue will be all black & white. Look for it soon!! For now, check out the mock-up for the cover.

THE WAR BEGINS!!

Next Year is the year for crossovers galore!! Before entering the War of the Independents next year, Bluewing teams up with the Wraith in the pages of The Wraith #4. After that he'll be teaming up with Aym Geronimo, El Valiente and El Gato Negro in a special lead-in comic to Dave Ryan's WAR!!
