This past weekend I finally got to see “Superman Returns”. It was great. The first time you see Superman in costume flying in to save the day, you honestly (well I did at least) feel like a kid again. You feel like that first time you saw the first Superman movie (if you were a kid when it originally came out or maybe even if you weren’t). This is what it should be like when you see a big blockbuster comic book movie. Don’t get me wrong, X3 was great, but it lacked something, that special feeling you get the first time you see that great hero (or villain) on the big screen. I felt it seeing “Batman Returns” and I felt it during the “Spider-Man movies” too. It’s that feeling you got when you picked up your first X-Men comic or your first Superman comic or maybe even a copy of some indie book. The list could go on. For each of us there is/was that special book we bought that introduced us to the world of comics.

That is what we are striving for here with “Rapid City”. To make something that makes you feel good about reading comics. Especially our comic.

What am I getting at here (besides the fact I really like Superman Returns)?

Well I’m saying that we are hard at work here. I’m hard at work here. I’m taking everyones comments from the “Rapid City: PREVIEW” and trying to build upon them. I emailed a few of you directly from the comments you left and asked for more information on what you meant in your remarks. So I’ve been taking your critiques and applying them to what I do and I’m trying to refine my work and hopefully make it better. Make it so when you are reading it, you’ll get that feeling of like the first time you picked up that special book and you’ll want more.

So for those waiting for more, don’t worry it’s coming. Just a little bit longer. And for your patience, I’ll have an offer that will surely make the wait worth it. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled, I’m going to be starting weekly “Sketchbook” posts here. Maybe even a few times a week.

And here’s to the countdown to WizardWorld Chicago…let it begin!
