Paul Milligan and I are working on a new project. I’m excited about this one. It’s currently untitled — takes place in Lawrence Kansas and involves some small press/indie comic book creators.

Yesterday, local comic book creator Jake Ekiss sent me an e-mail: Robert Kirkman just posted a video on CBR that I think is a topic a lot of us should be making some noise about. You might not agree entirely with what he says, but the point of it all is something to consider. Since [...]

I’m back from my family reunion. (Photos will be loaded on Flickr soon.) After a year working on BOLIVAR, which has characters based off my extended family, it was a little surreal spending time with the older real life Hope, Jesse, and Linda.

Aug 20th, 2008
I’ve been wanting to see LARS AND THE REAL GIRL for awhile. April and I finally watched it tonight. I really loved this movie. It’s a surprisingly sweet script — one of those rare stories without any cruel or vicious characters, and yet there’s still an intriguing conflict and plot. Good people struggling to do [...]
