Here's the reviews for issue 5. Again, the reviews are extremely positive. Supergirl Comic Box Commentary "Another phenomenal issue." BW Media Spotlight "WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE? " Comic Reviews by Walt "these Johnny DC books are providing much more fun in comics for me today than most other comics from the big publishers. " Talkin Bout Comics "Honestly, better every issue, great characters, fun twists, funny as can be. " Hero Sandwich "Holy guacamole, was this one fun." Living Between Wednesdays "It’s all I could ever want in a comic with "Super" in the title." Broken Frontier "Pure fanboy heaven!" Pai "Whew. This issue was nuts. It was great. Dense but easy to follow." Chris's Invincible Super-blog "[...]one of the sharpest kids' books I've seen in a long time." The next link is a podcast. The review of Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures comes in at 29:19. As I have recommende...

SLG is having a 30% off sale. That means 30% off of everything, including previously marked down items. Here is a small selection of work available from Eric and myself through SLG. There is more. Much more. Click this link to see the entire list. By the way, the first book on that list is a Gloomcookie trade. I didn't write that. I wrote an introduction which is why it comes up under  search  for my name. It's a great book by my good friend Serena Valentino . I highly recommend her work. Before I continue, remember this important peice of information. You need to enter this code at the checkout to get your dicount: taxtime09 So here's the loot: Besides the multitude of comics work Eric and I have produced, there is also merchadise. For those who only know my all-ages work, the X-Ray Comics trade paperbacks are very much NOT all ages. Tron skews adult. Little Gloomy and Super Scary Monster Show are all-ages. So just so we are clear. Every issue of Tron: The ghost...

Issue 5 is now in stores. This issue introduces us to the long promised character named... Superiorgirl! As is my favorite thing to do, a bunch of us went to lunch. From left to right: Traci, Tyler, Branwyn, Todd, Eric. I like this photo because Traci is showing off her ability to shift her personal dimensional reality. Tyler is unimpressed. He sees it happen all the time. Lunch was over very quickly today. We're all working in Berkeley, but we're usually to lazy to hang out. But it means alot to me that i have friends willing to disrupt their schedules for these moments. Thanks guys!  

A few reviews ave surfaced since my last review based post. To be fair, the first  two links involve the same reviewer. First with a standard review and then as one part of a three person Podcast. Blake Petit has been a strong supporter of Eric's and my work for a number of years now. Thanks Blake! In regards to the Podcast: The part discussing Supergirl can be found at 54:25. But it's a good Podcast discussing at length some of my favorite comics work. so if you're a fan of the Giffen Justice League, check it out the entirety! ComiXtreme "Wonderful issue. Excellent series. I can’t wait for more." 2 IN 1 SHOWCASE EPISODE 110 "It's a proper Supergirl book." Pai: Comics Reviews "Great issue. Only 2 more to go though."

I think I need a new bass. This one can't quite be replaced though. It's been years since I stole it from my cousin. I've almost come to think of it as rightfully mine. The bass for our Mummy toy was inspired by this.

The reviews for issue 4 are in. And the opinions about the series continue to be overwhelmingly positive. Supergirl Comic Box Commentary "Supergirl:Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade #4 continues to be a phenomenal book that appeals to all ages." Comixology "There is such love and fun pumped into every issue. " Comic Reviews by Walt "This series just keeps getting better and better. " Superman Homepage "Oh oh! Secret base... scared heroes....menacing shadow... I'm sold! " Talkin Bout Comics "I really think this series started good and is getting better with each issue. " Adventures of Comic Book Girl "As usual, 5/5. " Daily Scans "Now who is the most awesome superpet?" This last one is a podcast. I enjoy listening to these in their entirety. But if you want to skip directly to the review of Supergirl, go to 0:26:35. The Pull List "This is really, really good. And this is probably the best issue of the entire...

All I seem to hear these days is: "The Kindle! The Kindle! You can read e-books anywhere now!" Just like the iPod seems to have invented mp3 players for the public, Amazon seems to have invented the electronic book machine. I'm always glad to see existing technology finally accepted by the public, but what is frustrating is seeing these offerings heralded as the first coming. Portable devices that are capable for reading ebooks have existed for years and years. I began to rely heavily on my platform of choice, the Sony Clie, back in 2002. I still have the device, and it still holds up tremendously well. In addition to reading books with it, I can also check my email, listen to music, watch videos, use it as a universal remote, calculator, video camera, regular camera, audio recorder, Gameboy emulator, browse online, ect... Not to mention it's full color touch screen and it's full keyboard, expandable memory and clamshell design. Plus, unlike the current popular de...
