I thought this post was apt as Saturday 3rd May is Free Comic Book Day. A date where shops order a quantity of special comics which they then give away free. It generates a lot of business for them and it attracts a lot of people, some of whom will hopefully be new readers. SoContinue reading “Comics are a medium not a genre”

Comic Book Projects Update
It’s been a while since I posted about my current comic book projects, so I thought a quick update would be appropriate. Maysam Barza is still hard at work on the art on Flux, a 4 issue mini series I am co-writing by Pete Rogers. Below is a page that is currently in progress, andContinue reading “Comic Book Projects Update”
Thought Bubble 2013
Last weekend was the Thought Bubble comic convention in Leeds. What started out as a small one day event in the basement of town hall with maybe twenty five tables, has grown into a two day event with a couple of hundred tables spread out across three halls. A few years ago it relocated toContinue reading “Thought Bubble 2013”
November update
I’ve not posted in a bit as ever since I came back from WFC I’ve been pretty busy with various projects. So just a quick round up of what’s going on at the moment. The game is still in the testing phase, I just received a message to download another version for me to playContinue reading “November update”
Coming About
The comics market is changing. That’s not news, it’s always changing and adapting. However what is perhaps news to some and is becoming more and more obvious to me, is that the Big2 publishers, Marvel and DC, are no longer the Final Destination for creators, probably writers more so than artists. For years, breaking inContinue reading “Coming About”
Ongoing Adventures in Digital Comics
Back in June, I posted about Digital Comics and my foray into going digital with a monthly comic. A few months on I thought I’d post a bit of an update. As mentioned, when digital comics were first taking off, comic book retailers threw a hissy fit thinking it would hurt them and mean theirContinue reading “Ongoing Adventures in Digital Comics”
Man of Steel
I’ve held off writing a post about this, mostly because I wanted to get some distance from the film, so I could write about it with some perspective. In the end I managed to say everything I wanted to on the latest episode of the Comic Book Outsiders podcast I co-host with Scott Grandison. We’reContinue reading “Man of Steel”
Projects Update July 2013
Thought I would just do a quick general post on the projects I’m currently working on. The Novel – The next draft has gone off to my agent for her feedback. I’ve timed it just right so that I can go on holiday in a few days and I won’t spend the entire time pondering,Continue reading “Projects Update July 2013”
Going Digital
Digital comics have been around for a while, but it wasn’t until a couple of years that things started to really get organised. There were various options out there for quite a while, reading comics as PDF documents, reading them in weird web browser versions, all sorts of stuff. Then the rise of tablets started,Continue reading “Going Digital”
Free Comic Book Day – May 4th
The first Saturday in May every year is Free Comic Book Day, and it means exactly what you think. Every participating comic book shop orders a bunch of specially produced comics for this particular weekend and anyone is allowed to come in and pick up some of them for free. Now obviously people have toContinue reading “Free Comic Book Day – May 4th”
