Friday August 08th 2008, 7:51 pmSDCC MADNESS…
Although con has been over for almost 2 weeks now it certainly feels like I’m still in recovery mode. That show is always a tiring madhouse of a giant mess. But always a whirlwind blast of comics goodness. For those of you who came by my booth I hope you enjoyed the preview of what I’m currently working on but not really allowed to talk about, but no one said I couldn’t sneak peek the material 
Got the chance to meet and hang with old friends, and new, to the wee hours of the morning every night.
Discovered that Antony Johnston is a Sisters Of Mercy fan like myself. We are getting few and far between these days.
Good friends got their project picked up by a major publisher. Woo Hoo For Them!!! I’ll talk more about that later when the time is right.
Had interesting discussions with Grant Morrison, Matt Fraction, Scott Dunbier, Jimmy Palmiotti, Dave Stewart. and Darwyn Cooke. Not all at the same time though.
THINGS I’VE DISCOVERED OR PURCHASED BECAUSE SDCC MADNESS…
Apocalipstix — published by Oni Press —
by friends Ray Fawkes and Cameron Stewart
What a completely rockin’ juggernaut end of the world thrill ride groove machine of a book. Absolutely fuckin’ loved this hilarious rock and roll apocalyptic road movie satire. Ray’s story is immediately engaging with characters that you quickly fall in love with. Cameron’s art is on fire here, using a more exaggerated style to a most appealing effect. And it’s got GIANT ANTS! What’s not to love about GIANT ANTS. I want more, please.
Mesmo Delivery — published by adhouse books–
by Rafael Grampa
Exquisitely written and drawn in a highly detailed unique style with a sophisticated but appropriately simplistic color approach. I loved this. Track it down. You won’t be disappointed.
Pixu 1 of 2 — independently published –
by Becky Cloonan, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Ba, Vasilis Lolos
I’ve been following these creator’s work for sometime now and just can’t enough. They are all brilliant and this cool little book justifies my opinion even more.
