The eeeeenk.
Eeeet is zo…’eaVEE.
Also, I’ve sort of semi-recently started blogging about comics here.

Good sir -
Your custom WW2 military motorcycle with dachshund-modified side car and “chew toy turret gun” is complete and road ready.
thanks for the link. It’s indeed odd. Whatever link with a picture of Jay is linking straight to the frontpage…
allrighty!

OK, will do. They’re at the office, I think, so I’ll put it up tomorrow.
I do say Daniel – hope all is still Tip Top even in my absence.
ps – Ever find my stash? Hint: Check the hallowed out bust of Shakespeare.
ok thanks!

you can put the seventh page up! but after that no more! I don’t think we meant to send the whole thing.
Great idea! I’ll try it.

Well, I try to avoid works by authors who think I’m an idiot, too, which is a great way of putting it. Unfortunately, I’m not a big reader of the superhero stuff these days, other than a sort of unkickable nostalgia addiction to the sort of 1960-70s cosmic space opera-type stuff that’s still going on in occasional special series like Annihilation, Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc.
I think your best bet is to start a forum thread asking for adivce. Most of the folks there follow the current crop of superhero titles closely and enthusiastically. Since the ways to find folks on HeavyInk are mostly via interaction in the forum, following linked reviews, etc., I’m guessing not many folks know your blog is here (there IS a list of all public personal profiles, but it’s currently not easy to find/notice – something we’ll shortly be addressing). Anyway, I think folks would be very happy to recommend stuff to you in the forum.

“BTW, James, a couple of us HeavyInkers are Chicagoboyz fans…”
I am thrilled that you have read my unworthy posts. Thank you kindly for letting me know!

OK, so, I finally had time to read and take a closer look at Marlow. It’s great – just ordered #1!
Thanks Dan! Really liking this site!

Hi Aaron – welcome to HeavyInk!
The worse part is, the more you talk about it, the further down it goes. O_O It just slid lower!!!
Dan said:
Damn – Daynah’s blurb about her boobs finally begins its inexorable slide down the page. Oh well.

Hey man, I saw that you are picking up the new issue of The Killer. I don’t know what’s been going on with the long wait, but I highly recommend you check out a movie called Le Samourai, a fantastic movie about a french hitman, and from what I’ve heard a major influence for this comic.
Sooo it looks like you’re the reason HeavyInk’s logo wont be on my boobs at a nerdy con. ;)
Oh, no. Haha. I have seen it though. Mastodon’s my favorite band, so that’s why I have that up.
Dan said:
Are you the guy who made that webcomic?
Oh, apologies for taking so amazingly long to reply. I apparently don’t check this often. You can see my illustration work at: deadend-detour.com
Dan said:
So, is there anyplace online one can see your illustration work?
Yeah! It’s one of my favs! I’m a Grant Morrison fangirl. :) Invisibles was actually one of the first comics I read. You should read it whie tripping on cold medicine. I called me friends explaining that the Beatles were God and didn’t get much further than that.
Dan said:
Have you read The Invisibles? It’s outstanding.
Thanks for the heads up. It’s good to see that our efforts to make every issue accessible have been appreciated.
That’s cool that your mom got you into comics. I’m scared that because I like comics, me kids are going to rebel and like… football or something dastardly like that.
And whenever I read or watch something horrid I think about all the people it went though that said, “Yes, this is worth risking out money on.” There’s writer, artists, colorists, inker and letterer (all depending of course)... then comes more than a few editors. Don’t ever blame one editor for a work, there’s always an editor editing an editor. Then marketing and other departments read it, or at least sample the titles occasionally.
And ALL of those people said… “YES! We are going to sink some money into THIS project because we think people are going to buy so much of THIS that we’ll make money off of it. THIS is where it’s happening! THIS is where it’s at!”
That’s usually where I start crying in horrible movies. Why didn’t the actor at one point just look up and say, “Seriously, NO ONE is going to sit through this shit. Am I the only one to notice this?”
I wont lie. I don’t know half the words you said there. My expertise in syntax does not carry over into semantics.

Wow, all this silly pontificating goes really well with my patriarch-ish-looking 1844 daguerreo-tar, doesn’t it?
Being business savy is very important. I go to a university that has a high ranking business school and we get business lessons injected into all of the disciplines. It’s constantly, “How can I make money with this?” and “How can I market this?” I know, because of this training, that I’m better off going into the real world with this very practical degree, that someone with a a degree from a nose-in-their-books school.
Valerie (Occasional Superheroine) is super-fab. I always find her blogs fun to read, where as some other women comic-readers blog nothing but “blah blah whine whine, not enough women readers.”
Thanks! I can’t really pull off evil, though the photographer also wanted me to. :) I’ve got crazy baby cheeks. There are some other pictures of me on the photographer’s website where I look manical… but I was going for sexy! Just proof that I should really just stick to the cute… and never be a stripper.
If blogs had comments… I’d comment on “The Factual Opinion has”... and what I’d say is: “Hahaha”.
Speaking of blog comments… they should be here today or tomorrow. Hurrah.

That whole story is just crazy. If you’re spending $80K on hookers, you need a new hobby.
