Comic Book Resources has posted a large preview of Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #1. This includes shots of all four covers, plus images of the first six pages of the issue. If you haven’t picked up the book yet, here’s an excellent way to get a good taste of it for free. Also, over at Comics Bulletin, Kelvin Green gives …
Blood Bowl Hot Shot
The fine people at Comic Related made Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #1 their “Hot Shot of the Week.” As part of that item, they also have a gallery of huge shots of both the A and over-the-top B covers, unobstructed by logos. Woot! ETA: The comic also got a kind notice from Famous Monsters of Filmland. Plus, Chimera, a cool …
A New Look
I’m playing around with a new theme for the site. I like this one a lot, although I’ll likely tweak it as I go. I’ll add a new header graphic for one. In the meantime, if you see anything missing here (like something you enjoyed from the old theme), let me know. One cool thing about the new theme is …
French Blood Bowl
The fine people at Bibliotheque Interdite have translated Blood Bowl (my first novel in the series) into French! If you parlez Francais, here’s your chance to read a culturally specific set of running jokes written by an American author for a British publisher and now published in French. I wonder what will happen if the Blood Bowl novels ever get …
Comic-Con Plans
I just finalized plans to be at Comic-Con again this year. As with Wizard World Chicago, I don’t have any planned appearances, but I’ll be wandering around, seeing old friends, and hitting the parties. Due to personal commitments that weekend, I’ll only be at Comic-Con from Wednesday night through Friday morning. If you’re around and need to meet with me …
Storytelling and Comics
My latest post is up at Storytellers Unplugged. This month, I discuss a bit how I went about scripting the Blood Bowl: Killer Contract comic book miniseries.
Wizard World Chicago
Next weekend, I’m sadly giving Origins a miss and heading down to the much-closer Wizard World Chicago instead. I don’t have any scheduled appearances or signings. I’m just going down to wander around, catch up with friends, be a fan-boy, and have some fun. If you’ll be there, too, be sure to let me know.
Free RPG Day
In case it’s slipped past you (and it nearly did me), tomorrow is Free RPG Day! If you have a friendly local games store, be sure to head down and check out this year’s free offerings sometime on Saturday. The official site has a list of participating stores and the kinds of goodies you can expect to see. Some publishers …
Idiot Superheroes Cover Up
Man, I love that title. Aaanyhow, here’s the cover for my next “How to Draw” book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Drawing Superheroes and Villains, Illustrated. Because we didn’t have the rights to use any established characters, I came up with a slew of brand-new costumed heroes and crooks, which the awesome Argentine Yair Herrera shows you how to draw, …
Killer Contract Acquired
As you know, Blood Bowl: Killer Contract #1 hit comics stores yesterday. My authors’ comp copies are on the way, but I couldn’t wait. I drove over to the best (and only!) comic-book store in town, AK Comics, where owner David Loftus had a copy of both Cover A and Cover B waiting for me. I wrote the issue, I’ve …
