Hopefully you recognize the cast of Jeff Smith's awesome fantasy comic <i>Bone. </i>If not, you are totally sleeping and need to get your hands on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/188896314X/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=ghettomangaco-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=188896314X">this</a>.

Ever since I drew the Iron Fist piece for this blog awhile back, I have wanted to draw Iron Fist again... and all my friends know I love Misty Knight... so the sketch theme right now is comicbook couples. Feel free to do yours. This will be the theme until I come up with a better one or get tired of it (or both), so you can expect more from me if no one else gets in on it... If you post one on Twitpic or link on Twitter, just use the hashtag #metrosketchual.<br />
<br />
anyways, let me know what you think!<br />

has anything to say about it. With his trusty ax, his best girl and a
few surprising allies on his side, the God of Rock must take on the
forces of Anti-Rock and make the world safe once again for Rock,
Rebellion and all that other stuff your parents really, really hate.</i><br />

Milligan is a polite, bearded, burlyman and very easy to like. He has a fun, consistent drawing style that he can produce quickly and (apparently) with very little sleep. I originally bought <i>God of Rock</i> just to be supportive of a cool local guy, but I must say that <span style="font-size: large;"><i>God of Rock </i>is oozing with raw talent and humor!</span> As the sales blurb suggests, this 80 page book was written and drawn off the top of the head in three chapters on three subsequent weeks. Not satisfied to participate in the annual 24 Hour Comic Day event (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_comic" target="_blank">get familiar via the magic of der Wikipedia</a>), Milligan conceived and executed this imperfect but ultimately entertaining tale of Rock gone wrong! You can actually read the comic free, at the Space-Gun Studios site where he's rolling it out as a webcomic and since the banner's calling it a 96 hour comic, I guess he added to it this year! The original 72 hours of Rock is currently in print, and you can <a href="http://indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=6372&osCsid=mvf4l6v6cpkf4qcqf9oinklug6" target="_blank">order a copy on IndyPlanet</a>!<br />

In honor of the fact that local <strike>tracer</strike> inker <a href="http://metrosketchual.blogspot.com/search/label/John%20Lucas">John Lucas</a> is working on one of the <i>Spider Island</i> books (where people all over Manhattan end up with Spider-man's powers), <span style="font-size: large;">The Sketch theme this week (and until I get tired of it) is <i>Spider Island-DFW</i></span> (I know, DFW isn't an island... it's just a sketch topic, jeez...). So the idea is to draw DFW-based Spider-man art... c'mon, it'll be fun! Well, it will for me. I looooove Spidey (even though I'm not reading his books right now). I posted this old pic of a Spidey convention sketch I did long ago just
so this post would have a picture, but I'll submit a REAL <i>Spider-Island
DFW</i> piece later in the week!<br />
So anyways, if you need ideas,<a href="http://marvel.com/comic_books/events/305/spider-island"> learn what the Spider-Island thing is about on Marvel's website</a>, then just pretend it's in Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, etc and draw something sweet! <br />
Fans can also submit pieces on Twitter, just use the hashtag #metrosketchual and I'll repost 'em here!<br />
<br />

If you're not familiar with his work, Erik Reeves is an example of a largely unknown cartoonist whose stock is rising in the comics world. Besides being a go-to guy in the design world, Erik is carving out a niche in the Dallas comics scene with his self-published sci-fi-action comic, <i>Peacekeeper: Old World Order</i>. I snatched the preview below from the jaws of Indyplanet, where the first issue is on sale now.<br />
<a name='more'></a>Here's the Sales Pitch <br />
<i>Dr. Kerry Deltas a beautiful but dedicated bio-engineer descovers that her employer has plans to use the technology she has worked so hard to develop for other sinister ideas. Will this be the end of the civilized world she knows, or the beginning of an entirely different one?</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
<i>When an evil plot to destroy mankind is revealed before the Main Source council, the beautiful Dr. Kerry Deltas- responsible for the development of the last Peacekeeper war-body and Nathan Spiers- an honorably devoted soldier destined to restore the righteous order, find them selves bound together in an epic adventure that will begin their personal quests for love and the galaxies ultimate battle for peace.</i><br />

Like every artist out there, Erik is always adding to and developing his art steez, but I enjoyed the Kiryesque architecture and machinery in this segment. I also appreciate it that he's creating a science fiction story starring people of color. He is currently working on issue #2, but <span style="font-size: large;">you can cop <i>Peacekeeper: Old World Order #1</i> on Indyplanet. <a href="http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=4782">just click here</a>. </span><br />
"Remember," Erik said in the recent email newsletter: "All orders help support our continued production of our titles." <br />

The majors mostly seem like they just want to take people who are spending more than they can afford on comics and convince them to spend a little more. And they are pretty good at it. But now that they have snagged the low-hanging fruit, let's try some actual marketing...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://vinhluanluu.com/?p=416" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4NuHUipz-38/ThPY7G6oDCI/AAAAAAAAIyg/d3Di_Qh6ZDU/s320/vinhluanluu_sgs_ad_solomon.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>Marketing is a hobby of mine. I feel fairly confident in saying there is no marketing to speak of in the comics industry. Well, there is marketing to current readers, but not to new readers (or even lapsed readers). Right now, a large number of the general public doesn't even know that comics exist. I meet people and talk to co-workers all the time that are convinced that comics are not printed anymore until I show them a new one. Then there are people who insist that comics are not "for them" even though there are comics on just about every subject, for every audience. Marketing is important because it is the way you find out that you need or want something. <span style="font-size: large;">The first step to reaching new readers is to let them know you exist!</span> The good news is there is a lot of opportunity out there, and one of our local DFW area cats <span style="font-size: large;">Vinh-Luan Luu of the mighty Space-Gun Studios crew has figured it out for you</span>. <a href="http://vinhluanluu.com/?p=416">Click here to learn something about gaining new readers!</a>Samaxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17390821139505287622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319841491355804627.post-54946196504293992032011-05-21T11:00:00.001-05:002011-05-21T11:00:00.594-05:00DALLAS COMICON IS HERE!!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHUzoiz7ehM/Tdc6jZ6b1hI/AAAAAAAAIgk/0i5pmWveIAI/s1600/dcc2011_bk.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iHUzoiz7ehM/Tdc6jZ6b1hI/AAAAAAAAIgk/0i5pmWveIAI/s1600/dcc2011_bk.jpg" /></a></div>I heard the world was gonna end this weekend, so I figured I should be in the same building as Stan Lee.
