The Demonweasel Speaks

Eventful times, of course. I’ll forgo the usual “oh gee it’s been so long,” except for this whole mentioning it thing.

The store has been doing well, quite well in fact. We’ve been busy but not overwhelmed, but we’ve been all worked up over Free Comic Book Day, which is coming painfully soon. We’ve got all kinds of fun stuff lined up, including a visit from the 501st Legion Storm trooper folks, who craft their own highly detailed and accurate Star Wars Imperial costumes and make appearances for charity donations. Maybe we’ll find ourselves with some good press this year and keep making a name for ourselves. We did our first off-site sale at a local comic convention, which went really well even though we’d been wait-listed for a table and got one with about 12 hours notice.

Writing is going relatively well, although I did find a way to finagle myself an Xbox 360, so now I’m all enthralled with new video games and it’s really putting my mettle in the fire. My MySpace quote used to be “There’s no such thing as writer’s block, just video games.” So true, Brian Vaughn. So true.

We’ll see how well things turn out. The first draft of five of the six issues have been written, and we’ve got about 8 pages of pencils so far. Then inked, lettered, printed and then its off to Chicago.

Then it’s on to the next adventure…
