Matt and I recently participated in separate, but equal, interviews with Tim from Deconstructing Comics.Matt spoke about his technique, his work habits and the unique motivation behind his next book.I put on my best Joey Ramone impression (”so…y’know”) and talked up the Martian Confederacy, my love for Tony Talbert and why I think Spider-Man will never be caught in a bathroom with George Michaels.Check em’ out.

Matt and I were interviewed at Wondercon for Lene Taylor’s I Read Comics podcast. Come out and listen to me blab about being a blogger and Matt talk about being a comics creator. I think that Matt’s bit is a bit more interesting than mine, but maybe that’s just my long-lost sense of humbleness at work!

Give it a look and toss I Read Comics into your podcast catcher.

“Unspoken peer pressure,” Matt? I thought we were all very overt with it

It was time. My old website had worn out its welcome. Difficult to update. No RSS feeds. No search function. But that time is gone!

The majesty and mayhem that was WonderCon has left us both invigorated and exhausted! We loved the crowds, the costumes and the camaraderie, but we didn’t do so much of the sleeping. However, it was great to be immersed in so much writerly and artistic talent! You inspire us to new heights! A big THANK YOU to all the folks who came by the Writers Old Fashioned booth in Artist’s Alley!

That’s Jason McNamara, Emily Stackhouse and Matt Silady in the picture above! Check out the links below to see what we were up to all weekend: Continue Reading »

Toxic air. Bloodthirsty politicians. Drinking bears. Welcome to Mars in the year 3535. Stripped of its natural resources and forgotten as a vacation destination, Martians struggle to afford breathable air. Boone, Spinner and Lou were three outlaws looking out for themselves. But when a cure for Mars’s toxic air falls into the wrong hands, thieves are forced to become heroes. And as an entire planet gasps for air three rednecks will fight for the survival of their planet.

The Martian Confederacy is an original two color graphic novel illustrated by the Eisner nominated Paige Braddock and written by yours truly. Look for it in July edition of Previews.
