Keep your hands on your holsters and don’t be jumping no claims. Here we have folks, a nugget of what’s to come this October at the 2010 Alternative Press Expo. 

Miners Mutiny, the first full-length comic book of the forthcoming trilogy, is the story of a man looking for trouble in a small gold mining town where no one has anything better to do.

And KOAK takes her character sketches to a whole new level.

That’s right.  Apparently someone thinks I’m somebody.  Listen in as I yak and yak about doing it yourself (making comics that is) with Tim at Deconstructing Comics.

USA Today’s pop culture journalist, Whitney Matheson, recently set out to invent a new comic book genre: Twitter Comics. Enlisting the help of artists from across the industry, she just launched a flash website showcasing the results.
