The Gamma Gal I loved.

First off I don't like to complain about stuff. It's always seemed to me that complaining really gets you nowhere, it just irritates the people around you, and usually somoene else has problems or complaints that are bigger or more valid than yours. So I try my best not to complain. But I'm at the point where I'm about to drop one of my favorite all time books. She-Hulk. When the new She-Hulk Series started (the first new one, not the current relaunch... um... the one w/ Dan Slott and Juan Bobillo ... the first one w/ Dan Slott and Juan Bobillo.) I loved it (sure I didn't get the first 3 issues because, it's She-Hulk, and based on Marvel's formula at the time, it would be a boring talking heads book that really went nowhere for 4 issues, then there would be a fight (I assume a lot). So I didn't pick it up, it was Matt Talbot of Johnny Raygun fame that turned me on to the book, he raved about it for weeks, so I picked up an issue, and sure enough... AWESOME! Easily one of my favorite all time books! It was funny, and not just a little funny, it's the kind of funny that made me laugh out loud. I loved it, the idea of Jen working for a Lawfirm that had a basement full of comics that they used as reference for cases, the art, the obscure characters they'd toss in there. It had everything I'd been missing from Marvel comics. It was fun, filled with action, and took history into account. All that being said I was super bumbed when the title went on hold for a couple months. So when they relaunched it, I was the first in line to be made fun of by Ralph (local comic store owner... check out his place at http://www.jetpackcomics.com . I don't know what happened, when the book relaunched... it wasn't funny. Maybe that's a bit harsh... it wasn't AS funny. I didn't laugh out loud, it seemed to lose some of it's focus on Jen, and started focusing on some of the 2ndary characters more than She Hulk. I don't usually mind that, but I wanted my ol' Jen back, I wanted the same formula that made me laugh and snicker, write e-mails to my friends, and tell anyone at a con that She-Hulk was the best comic ever! I couldn't do that. I've suffered through the last couple issues, but I'm pretty sure the next issue is going to be my last. Sorry Dan... I don't know what happend, but ya lost me. I was an Ex-Marvel Zombie, then your book gave me hope... and now it's gone.

Gambit and stuff

Hi everyone, tryin' to get back in the grove of things. G is for Gambit. Not my favorite character, has some pretty bad costume design (what the hell is that around his neck...and pink?) Anyway, watched Heroes, pretty cool, I'm hooked. And Prison Break continues to be awesome! Anyway, not much else to say. Listening to Fashion Zombies by the Aquabats!

More pulp stuff!

Been super busy w/ day work and working on finishing the Savage Dragon Crossover. Anyway, a friend of mine asked me to do a paint a pulp cover for them... so here's a in progress shot of it. I'll keep posting as I get more done. It's over some one elses pencils, I'm just addin' color and shading. I'm doing this on my laptop, so I haven't adjusted the colors yet... have no idea what they may look like on a real screen.

Elektra and stuff

I've been way behind on my sketches... after vacation I totally slacked off... I suck.

And I'm mad... why am I mad... because of the price of gas.

"But the price of gas is lower now than it's been in a long time Rich! " True... but ask yourself... WHY? Is it because there's no more turmoil in the middle east? Is it because they fixed the pipe lines in Alaska? OR is it because there's an election coming up and the Republicans need to have a "look what we did, we lowered gas prices" in their back pockets? We'll know soon, cause' I'm betting that after the elections the prices shoot back up to record numbers to make up "lost profits"

Back from Vacation

Ok, so I've been back for a week... BUT I've been super busy, it's just been crazy here. Day work is crazy, I'm workin' on a lot of cool icons and stuff right now, so I'm very happy. Night work is cool too! I'm workin' on 2 top secret projects, hopefully after next week I can spill the beans on one of them, and the other , well... it's going to be a while before I can say anything about that one.

It's been a while since I've actually wrote anything more than "this is the sketch I did tonight..." so I'm tryin' t o just fill everyone in on what I'm doin' now. I'm reading the same ol' books... Savage Dragon, Invincible, Walking Dead, Next Wave, and tons of SpiderGirl! Man, that Spider Girl is awesome, if you haven't read it, go out to your local comic shop right now and buy it! It's great old school Marvel goodness! Speaking of Marvel goodness, I just finished Kirby's run on the FF... man, what a ride!

Seems like a bunch of new TV shows are startin' up... I'm tryin' not to get hooked, because I watch enough TV as it is, but I am pretty excited about the new Prison Break, and the Stargate (both of em') . When's 24 start... *psst... not until next year*... crap...

In sports news, the Red Sox are about to make the most awesome come back ever! They're going to win the next 20 out of 23 games! MOCK my words!!! I've got faith, and if they don't do it, oh well, there's always next year.

Music news, I'm listening to Sleater Kinney, Bob Mould, Frank Black, and Robert Earl Keen.

Ok, so you've been lookin' at these pictures over on the right while reading this asking yourself, what the hell is this? Well, the first one is my awesome wife who puts up w/ all my crap, and listens to me wine all the time about not having a Sonic up here in New England. So when I found out I was taking a vacation to NC I thought, "hey, North Carolina is in the South!!! Sonic is in the South!!!" So I went to the sonic website and printed out a roadmap showing every Sonic Location on my route... it was an awesome trip.

Well, that's about it, got to get that Savage Dragon / Johnny Raygun crossover done...
