So after years it feels like, my book Super Pro K.O.! #1 is finally coming out this summer from Oni Press! Save the date, July 7th, 2010. It's been a whirlwind experience. In fact, just finishing something on this epic of a scale has taught me so much. But I'm really thankful that all of my experiences in the world of web-comics have prepared me for this. I can't complain at all. Well, I could, but who cares. I'm just definitely soaking it all in.
It's still weird to know that as I sit working on volume 2 of SPKO, the world will just be seeing vol. 1. It's crazy
And it's been a dream of mine to attend San Diego Comic Con with a book and that's all finally happening.
I had my first SPKO Interview with the Robot 6 Blog over here:
robot6.comicbookresources.com/… talked about a lot of my experiences leading to finally breaking into the comic industry. All 7-8 years actually.
And Oni's been cool enough to post a 27 page preview over here:
onipress.com/display.php?type=…;
And all this just before Mario Galaxy 2 gets set to drop!
It's just too much.
Outside of the comic thing, life's been pretty chillastic. My friend Rashad Doucet aka. Kross 29 (
kross29.deviantart.com/) has recently submitted a comic for Zuda with artist Chris Mullins. Rashad and I have been friends for awhile now and he was big part of me getting out of my shell and showing my work around more. It's cool to see us all breaking into the comic game at the same time. And if we're not drawing comics, we're watching trailers for the next season of MTV's The Hills and laughing hysterically. It's a pretty odd friendship indeed
He just hooked me up with the 5 Disc FF13 Soundtrack, and for that, I'm forever grateful.
You can vote for Rashad's comic, Stereophonic Ninja Boy here:
