Episode 53: Star Trek Picard Episode 6 Review and Flash Gordon Headed to Auction

The focus of this weeks update will be a golden age superhero and a new legacy character with ties to another public domain hero. Also we have a new potential logo for the series. Also updated my website to feature the new series. However it doesn’t work for mobile so I will be changing the design next week. Here’s how the new logo looks. I might keep this one. Still kind of on the fence with it. I like that it harkens back visually to the comic book mastheads of the golden

The working title of Atomika, I never intended to keep it. I know there have been some other comic books that use similar titles. I just didn’t realize there had been so many. So my first task was to come up with a title. The story is pretty set now. Well, in my own brain anyway. I’m not going to delve into it too much in this installment. We have lots to cover already. In future updates I will break down the basic story beats as I work on completing sequential pages. What I

In this episode Dave & Lin interview veteran comic book artist Dean Zachary. Dean's published credits are extensive and include work on titles such as Batman: Day of Judgement, Nightman, New Gods, Prototype, Hawk & Dove, Star Wars, and simply too many more to list!

All of the above, sort of. Stick with me here… it’ll make sense. Sometimes in order to stay gainfully employed or get a ‘gig’ you have to learn something new. I’ve had to do that a lot over the last 25 years or so. To that end, when it comes to comic books, I’ve had to do it all. Being a jack of all trades is a blessing and a curse. No matter what a client needs done, I can do it. Am I a master at any of them? Maybe inking. The downside- no one really thinks of me for one thi
