I should have narrowed down the things I wanted to tell you about before I began to type, but alas, I am sorting it out as we go. We are very rapidly approaching Chicago Comicon time and there is much left to do. Fortunately for me, I have this weekend off to prepare. By Monday we should be in prime shape. I can't wait to see some of you there! Some of the mail we are getting is very exciting. You see, We can look at our stat counters and know we have an audience, but there is nothing better than getting to meet you and talk to you face to face.

As for more immediate matters? Well, today's comic is (as you've already noticed) different that what you are used to seeing. First and foremost it is a completely new section to the website. Much like Dex has his very popular pick up lines, Broady will now pop in once in a while to share his sweet, sweet poetry. Don't be afraid to google some of his more unusual words. We won't tell anyone. It turns out that Broady (although technically slow) is quite the idiot savant and sometimes displays an impressive vocabulary. The best part is that he's capable of saying anything and he's got some interesting things he would like to recite for you down the road.

The other thing different about today's comic is the color job. To answer your first question, YES the comic is still being colored by Don. But Broady has a special place in his heart and so he put some extra time into this one. I was very impressed when I saw how it turned out. This level of shadowing is something we would like to include in all of our comics and so you can count on seeing some of our updates looking like this in the future. Unfortunately he doesn't have the time to do them all this way so it will only be occasional, but rest assured that you will see more of it.

I could ramble on for the rest of the night but I have to get some rest if I'm going to make pogress on this weekend's convention prep. If any of you have any questions feel free to get ahold of me through our contact form, or through our twitter or facebook accounts. I welcome all communication from our readers.

6 more days to Chicago Comicon...

Stay Amused,

Convention season is here and we couldn't be more thrilled. We Couldn't make it to San Diego this year and for that we are a bit dissapointed, but we will be in Chicago for Wizard World on August 19-22 as our banner above proudly shows. That weekend is rapidly approaching and I can honestly say, "I'm not ready yet!" So much to prepare. We are still trying to decide which O of A shirts we are going to have with us for you all to choose from. Kyle and Don have been overwhelmed with work and other aspects of life lately leaving me to worry about the final details of merchandising.

All will fall into place though, of that I'm not the least concerned. Actually, I really like this part of our industry. Getting the booth ready and spending the weekend interacting with our old fans and new friends is what drives me. You guys are great! We still Don't have our booth assignment yet but I promise to post it right here as soon as I find out. Also I will send that info out directly for our facebook and twitter friends.

This coming weekend should prove most ideal for preparing the handouts, designing the first official O of A contest, building some of the display, and printing some of the T-shirts we will be bringing. It will be a great busy time. I'll be posting again soon so keep your eyes peeled for the latest !
