Completed a battle-damaged Sheriff Stewart while at Rebel Base, Saturday.

Looks like I’ll be attending another signing at Rebel Base during Free Comic Book Day May 1.

While at the store, I picked up a few Flash back-issues and, for the hell of it, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 and 2 — get this — from the 90s!

A collection of Rachel Rage short stories is being collected featuring the shorts posted online here and a new short story for the print edition. Also, included are sketchbook materials and a pin-up section by guest artists. Names to be revealed in February.

I’m shooting to have the book in hand by April. Considering how slow production has been on producing a new “feature length” story, a new book wouldn’t be completed in time for the convention season, here’s a fix.

But, a comment from a lost sale without having a Rachel Rage product that was, well, had a single issue price tag. So, the moral of the story? I listen, apparently, sometimes. Maybe. Depends who you ask these days.

Anyway, recently watched the extended Kingdom of Heaven on DVD and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Based on the varying nipples, I think Billie Piper’s stand-ins change each episode.

Music, I’ve been listening to Public Enemy and punk/ska/whatever people call 2/2 beats covers by Me First & The Gimme Gimmes to include Billie Jean. I’m always fascinated if somebody can re-create a Michael Jackson song differently.

Comics? Waiting on Afrodesiac. Re-attempted League of Extraordinary Gentlemen after 10 years. Enjoyed it and probably will pick up the second series.
