Where you'll find me
They always save the big news items for Friday night.
Yes I can reveal, I'm an editor at BOOM! now. I'll still blog here occasionally but the fact is this job keeps me really busy. Look through previews and see how many Warhammer books we put out. Imagine presiding over all of that.
Of course now I think about comics more than ever. I have to be a bit careful about what I say here. Thankfully I was never someone who shot his mouth off on-line.
I have developed a whole new appreciation for the writing and illustrating that goes into comics. Next time you go into a comic book store look at the new releases racks and imagine how many people it took to write, layouts, pencil, ink, color and letter the interiors. Then factor in the cover, the whole process for that (including dressing it with the title, various logos and sales information). Then realize that all those people were led by one person who wants to make sure all these people work together and that the book came out at least somewhat on-schedule. Everyone has Diamond's Sword of Damocles over their head. It's a feat that one comic book comes out a month, let alone the hundreds and hundreds that are able to each month.
But hey, I'm up to the challenge.
