Oh, Man! I've got so many blog entries I want to do right now I don't know what to do first.
Here are the choices:
-"Sneak Peek of S.H.I.E.L.D. Volume 2 #3"- I put a lot of work into this issue and I want to show you what I did.
-"Blast From The Past -Part 10"- Going back to the year 2001. I get one step closer to my dream of becoming a comic book artist, but does a drug addiction nearly bring it all crumbling down. It doesn't. Or DOES it?... no.
-"My Favorite Things- Part 4: The Metabarons"- I talk a little bit about why I love the Metabarons, show you some pages, and highly recommend it.
-"I Read Comics- Part 1" This would be a new kind of post where I just talk about stuff I'm currently reading... I'm actually not to sure I want to do this kind of post. I nether want to do real reviews of the things I'm reading because it would take to long for me, nor do I want to scan pages from everything I'm reading... Maybe this could just be a feature I put into other posts where I simply state what I've read and give a very brief review. I don't know.
What else? I guess that's it. Let me know what you think my next entry should be.
At any rate, you might have noticed that there is an image at the top of this entry. "What is that image about," you might ask. "Why that there is a drawling of one Ron Randal's character, Trekker," I would answer because that's the way I talk. You didn't know that? Yeah I talk way different then I write. I'm a cowboy who doesn't know how to properly say the word "drawing". Anyways- TREKKER! A long time ago, or what I call "back in the day", Ron created the sci-fi bounty hunter “Trekker” in the pages of Dark Horse Comics. Through the years, the character has appeared in various short stories, her own Dark Horse series, and other independent, single-issue stories. Now Ron's bringing her back as a web comic! He's starting by posting the original stories in order, and then continuing with new adventures. I whole heatedly support Ron in this endeavor. And this week for the Periscope sketch Challenge the whole studio is lending it's support to Ron by doing Trekker sketches.
So GO. Reed Trekker. http://trekkercomic.com

Then there's this guy. Jonathan Case. Jonathan is another artist here at
Periscope studio and his first Graphic novel "Dear Creature" is out on October 11th,
it's going to be
in stores across the country. Barnes and Noble, Amazon, Powells,
comics shops, etc. And let me tell you, you should GET IT! Get it.
I'm not joking around here. It's good stuff. Here just take a look at
this-
This is the first page followed by a short sequence that happens a few pages in.

I don't know where Jonathan gets off being so good. And you know what
else, he's really nice. He's genuinely good natured towards everyone and
it freaks me out a little. You don't know this about me but I'm angry. I
struggle with jealousy and resentment and I think that deep down
everyone is just like me in that they have those same problems. They
cover it up with politeness and they've restructured there mental
processes to bypass the ugly stuff and appear to not have the ugly stuff
but it's there, and I can hear it back there, behind all the nice, and
it's screaming at me FUCK YOU!... But not with Jonathan Case. With
most people I want to say cut the crap. Tell me what you really think.
Give me the truth. Out with it. But with Jonathan, the niceness seems to
be real. He's some kind of freak as far as I can tell. Ether that or
he's got some sophisticated processes by witch he hides his ugly side.
That's probably it. At any rate, I like him. I like genuineness. I trust
him, I'm intrigued by him, and I resent him a little because he's Mr. Perfect and because he has written and drawn his first graphic
novel and it's really good. Go buy it.
