Pre-San Diego Comic Con interview-o-rama!

It’s true – I’ve been working as the Community Manager for WWE Games for the past couple months, and my posts here have been…less than regular. BUT! That doesn’t mean that I don’t care – never think that I don’t care – and while I’ve not been doing Raw Recaps or lists of whatever-the-balls, I’ve also been plugging along on comicbook stuff.

“Where’s the proof?” you say, kinda shittily? Why, it’s right here, with two, count ‘em TWO separate interviews with your pal, good old Shitterson about doing comics stuff. Check it:

First, I stopped by “Talking Comics with Tim” over at the Robot 6 blog, conveniently housed at Comic Book Resources. Tim O’Shea was kind enough to chat with me about Gear Monkey, moving from full-time to freelance and back to full-time, switching sides of the editorial desk and, of course, because it’s me, WRESTLING.

Elsewhere, Trevor Roth {COO and Head of Development for Roddenberry Entertainment [As in Gene Roddenberry (As in the Star Trek guy)]} and I talked with Rus Burlingame of the appropriately named ComicBook.com, announcing a NEW graphic novel called Worth, written by, you guessed it, me.

Stay tuned for more information, especially on Worth, as we’ll be debuting interior pages from my (hopefully) willing collaborator, Chris Moreno, at SDCC this weekend.

Gear Monkey now available at DoubleFeature Comics!

A few months back, I told you a little bit about Gear Monkey, a comics project by myself and the tremendously talented Nate Lovett, who, incidentally, is also one of the artists on Redakai: Invasion of the Gilfreem, also written by moi. Now, the long wait is over, and you can finally read the first-ever Gear Monkey story over at DoubleFeature Comics.

DoubleFeature is a really awesome webcomics publisher that sells “books” that contain two eight-page stories for only 99cents. You even get an option of how to purchase them: Either buy it through the web and get a digital rights management-free PDF that you can read anywhere on any device, or get it via the DoubleFeature Comics iPad app and you’ll also be treated to a bevy of special features, including early sketches and commentary from the writers and artists.

Gear Monkey cover

Primate steampunk - what's not to love?

In non-wrestling-related news, this May will see the release of Double Feature: Fantasy #3, featuring a story by myself and the awesome Nate Lovett (go commission something weird for him to draw, would you?). The story is called “Trust Me” and is part of a larger project we have starting up called Gear Monkey. The Gear Monkey is the guy in the center, and the dude’s standing on is Horatio, his long-suffering, steam-powered friend.

Prior to the Double Feature issue hitting, we’re planning on soft-launching a website with additional Gear Monkey stories ready to go. It’s not quite ready yet, so in the meantime, enjoy the cover of the first-ever Gear Monkey story, and head over to DoubleFeatureComics.com to peruse their other, non-Gear Monkey related, but still really, really super-awesome stories. Two 8-pagers for under a buck! In a DRM-free PDF or on an iPad app with special features! It’s a stupid-good deal and you should buy all of them.
