New York was a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t attend with the full MONOLITH representation. It was still a great time. Working a convention as a writer/publisher is completely different from going as a regular attendee. It was exhausting and overwhelming, and I mean that in a good way.

Those of you who were there already know what happened, and those who weren’t have probably read about all the stuff you care about from plenty of reliable news sources. So, I’ll skip the report.

I met lots of really cool people and saw a lot of really cool comic books. There are so many great looking books out there. There just can’t be time or money to read them all.  I was about to phrase that as a complaint, but what kind of person would I be if I complained about too many good comic books.

If you are one of the many cool folks I talked to at the con, I hope you are enjoying our web site. If I didn’t meet you at the con, then I hope that I will see you there next year. I am certainly going back.

This coming weekend is the first big comic convention of the season.

It is in New York City and I will be heading down to attend.  I am really excited about it. If you are going to be there, let me know. Especially if you are going going to be representing with a table or a booth, I will make sure to drop by and say ‘hello’.

See you there.

Everyone gets bookstore giftcards for the holidays.

I recently cashed some of mine in. Part of the fun of that kind of shopping is indulging whims and taking chances on recomendations.

I asked my roommate what he thought I should get and he suggested a book of J.D. Salinger’s short stories.

Great! I took his advice and I got the book. It was good, what I read of it. But, I just couldn’t stay into it. I felt like I was waiting for something.

Then I figured it out. I was being entertained, and engaged…all the good things that good stories do. But, I wasn’t really learning anything.

I’ve spent the last few months devouring script writing, superhero theory, film directing, and any other thing I could read that could help me become a better writer.

And now I have gotten used to it. Now I need it. Thankfully, I still had some giftcards, so I have been able to feed my addiction.

Things that were just vague ideas and directions are rapidly becoming real(er).

One of the coolest things that is happening as Jason Micah and I get closer and closer to completing is that all of these strange people and places I have made up are not only becoming concrete, they are becoming logistical concerns.

It has gone from “What if there were werewolves who functioned not just like a pack, but also like a gang?” to…

“Ok, So when can Hector reactivate the werewolves, and how long would it take him to establish himself as the ‘Alpha Male’?” to….

“Alright, we are doing a worms-eye-view shot in Chinatown, can we fit all the wolves in to it and make it clear that they are running?”

Hard to describe why it is so cool. It just is.

Man where does the time go? No seriously? Last I looked it was August and we were at the Wizard World Chicago Show. Now we are less than two weeks from Christmas and 2007 is right around the corner.

Well any ways, just wanted to say that we’re still here. We’ve all just been really busy, Micah with school, Josh with work and out of town commitments and me with the “day job”. I’m planning to get some stuff done here shortly. So keep an eye out and check back soon.

Don’t worry, we’re still here, still working on our “labor of love” and still have much to show you.

Silly artists! Jason went and mislabeled his most recent post. That isn’t Silver Age Switchboard. It’s Silver Age Switchman, who is the son of the original Switchman, and the father of the character that Rapid City readers will get to know as Switchboard.

I like these three characters quite a bit and I really hope that I get a chance to tell their stories in greater detail.

The mantle that Switchboard takes up is one way that we are showing readers that Rapid City exists in a much wider world.
