What an awesome, if not exhausting weekend!

First off, my parents were in town for my daughter’s First Holy Communion, so I got to have out with them a lot, had the church and party thing on Sunday. Good times with my fam and my in-laws. Good people all around!

Me, Harold Cupec and Jon Towers at the Stigmata Studios booth.

Saturday was the Pittsburgh Comicon. I set up with the multi-talented and really cool, Jon Towers. Jon is the mastermind of  The Non-Standard Assembly and Stigmata Studios. Really, if you are not already reading NSA, you don’t know what you’re missing! Get yer asses over and read his stuff!

Got to hang with Scott Hedlund and Stephanie who both manned the Strumhaus table, as Brian Babyok was just visiting and Dan Greenwald was off in Ohio doing S.P.A.C.E. Divide and conquer, baby!

The Space Monkey crew, as always, are a trip, led by Mike Wood (Hate Your Friends, Creephunter, Pocket Pulp Project), along with Al Durantes and Kristin Ross.

Ricochet studios was hopping with Marcel Walker and his costumed heroines Jami Marlowe & Tracy Bartosh. Plus Wayne Wise debuted his long awaited follow up to Grey Legacy!

Met a fan, and fellow professional, Stephen Wittmaak, that I hadn’t seen in years, when he was in high school. He stool there, amazed that I was still kicking around. He had bought a Phineus comic or two, while in High school. He said I was a big influence and he even had a ponytail in HS , just like Phin! Cool! Love that! His stuff is awesome, check it out!

Mark Menifield was set up and has been pumping out work at an alarming rate. His stuff will be available online soon. I’ll post url’s when that happens!

I got to put actual faces with internet personas, as I met Harold Cupec, in the flesh and fellow WCP Collective members Chris Maverick and Chris Flick! Good times!

I wish I had more time to hang out with more people!

At the con!

The Annotated Mage: The Hero Discovered

Mirrored from Phinmagic.com.

 This is a pretty cool site. It summarizes “Mage” and gives alot of background into it as well.

Mage is the groundbreaking comic by Creator and comic god, Matt Wagner.

If you are as big a geek about Mage as I am, you’ll dig it, too!

He breaks down each issue, points out major plot points, and shows the mythological roots of the characters, monsters and themes explored in the series.

Really well thought out and well done. Check it out!

Cosmic Hellcats

I wanted to do a comic plug for Cosmic Hellcats this time around partly because they plugged Phineus a while back and partly because we Pittsburgh Guys need to stick together!

This comic is brought to you by Chris Maverick (Writer/Photographer) and  Maximilian (Art).

The comic follows the adventures of a band of Cat-girl space marines of a sort. There are aliens, space pirates, robots and evil science! Cosmic Hellcats is a space opera and pinup comic all rolled into one!

The other neat twist to the comic and the site is that all the girls are based on models, that Chris has photo-shoots of. The girls also make appearances at shows and look hot, sign autographs and pose for pictures. Chris also has lots of galleries of his other photo-shoots as he is a very accomplished photographer!

Head on over to http://cosmichellcats.com/  and check out all their great stuff!
