You should ask to be a guest when you’re in the area.

Really? Where are you guys located? There’s a live-on-stage comedy talk show in NYC called “The Comic Book Club” hosted by Pete and Tyler. If you’re local, you should check it out.

Dear HeavyInk Peoples, Re: Awesomeness Thanks for the cool Ultimatum posters. They are going straight on my wall.

After the initial press release was sent out, we were contacted by Rob Liefeld and informed that he has an optioned character named Galaxy Girl. If there are two title characters with the same name, Rob wouldn’t be able to make a comic, and I wouldn’t be able to sell to movies or TV. Hence, the name change.

going reverse…

re:videos… thanks. We both worked really to get those forms and it’s amazing how my son has grown with it. It’s not real traditional stuff, but we loved training together for it and I think it made us better with our karate through it.

Re: bo… yeah, it’s still made of wood though. It’s only covered with a shiny plastic taping to make it flashier while doing the open type form. It’s all for show. :) No way I’d spin and throw my bo around like that in a real fight. :)

Hey, thanks man! I’ll definitely give it a go for a semester. I’m not sure how far you were able to advance but some of the sparring/belt tests up on youtube looks killer.

I read up a bit on Aikido and I really respect the passive/non-aggressive philosophy of it.

I saw that you are checking out Unknown Soldier, the comcept/back story of the book sounds pretty damn cool. I’d love to hear what you think of it!

Thanks! while I never did martial arts for any kind of trophies, I’m quite proud of them. Much prouder of the simple fact I achieved Shodan, if you know what I mean, but the competitions forced me to deal with the pressure and to work on my forms intensively. I’m sure it paid off in the grand scheme of things.

The two long shiny sticks we’re holding are called a bo, or long staff. It’s a weapon with which we do a form, or kata. While ours are all shiny and very light, the bo used to be a traditional weapon in Japan, but theirs were sturdier and heavier. The bo is also TMNT’s Donatello’s weapon of choice. ;)

fwiw, you the forms we performed that day in this little youtube video

Let me know what you think :)

Pete, your pictures are absolutely gorgeous, well done!

And here’s a review.

btw, here’s something i’m looking forward to.

Pete? Is this you, too? Man, you are really everywhere in comics!

False.

God. I miss the way you smell at night.

oops, meant RMfM there, not EMfM

about EMfM, that’s cool. You sure did get my interest up and made me check other reviews for it. I think I will definitely want to check the trade when it’s collected…

gah, you are teasing me here, this is not nice! :p

I didn’t have RMfM on my pull list and now I’m seriously thinking about it. I wavered about getting it or not, the superhero side of things might make me want to get it even more now. I do like superhero things. :)

Part 5 of “Room and Boredom.” In the extremely destructive conclusion to the first story arc, Fig Keele has literally brought down the House, but couldn’t she have waited until everyone got out alive first?

a five part arc, might be tempted to let it go the way and then kick it, then I might kick it after next issue. We’ll see…

hey Pete, have you had a chance to read House of Mystery #2?

Just read it and I’m torn about it. I wanna know what’s going to happen with the lady in the main story, who’s the voice and all that, but the story within the story, well, I thought it was frankly quite boring… I’ll ponder a bit…

Jesus with a ponytail and Jesus with a haircut look very similar at first glance.

Pete, random thing that just occurred to me… When I see your avatar out of the corner of my eye (such as when I’m reading your posts), it looks a lot like the Jesus Mii on my Wii. And it too me a really long time to figure out what was so familiar about it, because when viewing it directly, it doesn’t look like that at all.

Just thought I’d share.

Would Heavy Ink be getting any more stock for Neozoic #2 soon? I just started the series (months after everyone else started) and I can’t read my #3 copy until I read #2. :)

Just finished reading it and I’m left feeling a bit, “huh?”. Had not really realized it will be set as two parters like that and I’m not so sure I like that. I guess I’ll see in the next issue or two if I want to stay with it or not but for now it’s not off to a “I need a new issue RIGHT NOW” kind of start.

Thanks for letting me know personally! I did in fact change it. :) It’s like my local comic book store is… in my bed. ...

Hi Pete, just a quick question on my re-subscribing to comics here at HeavyInk… There are quite a few back issues that I’m getting. How will that work? Will they ship relatively soon if they are in stock? I was hoping that would be the case so that I can get caught up on the titles.

Wow man, can’t believe Red Mars for Mass is doing so well. Do you think you guys will be getting more stock for issues 2 and 3?

Ugm. Every time I’m on heavyink, it’s while I’m at work, at school, on ancient versions of browsers. So all websites, including heavyink, do really crazy things. With the photo, it was making it a square. But not all the time. Only when the stars aligned juuust right.

It had a lot more to it than I wrote. Like weird stuff… I always wore like a 50’s perfect housewife dress and an apron with a heart top and a lace trim.. .even though it was moden day. I dusted the comics with a feather duster. I had a ladder hanging from the wall that had a sign on it that said, “Only for cute comic book store owners.” And I wore super red lipstick. That was what woke me up, ‘cause I don’t wear red lipstick. Aah, fun dreams.

I have been noticing recently that my login email wasn’t working. When I finally got into my account settings, I noticed that I must have originally mistyped my email address. Everything is right now. Thanks for letting me know.
