Robot Shorts - A to Z. K is for ...

OK .. so 'K' had to be Kingdom. Kingdom first appears in the ROBOTS anthology, and his look is pure INDIO! We liked the whole set up to much that we then drafted in Jon Ayre and together wrote a 7 issue mini-series around him ... titled Stephenson's Robot. This will be a full colour production, the first issue is already coloured and issue 2 is fully inked and awaiting colouring. It looks really amazing and allows INDIO! to show just how damned talented he is.

In other news here's another review of Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man ?

and it's another great one :o)

I need to knuckle down now to doing some Strange Times pages as the web comic over on the

http://www.accentukcomics.com

site has just completed the pages that are in Book 1 (as I won't be putting up the Secret Origin of Mr. Rock) ... and although I have started Book 2, the web comic is fast catching up with pages that I have finished. Made all the worse by the fact that I'm sat here with a cold ... still .. nobody said it would be easy :o)

New Fastest Man review ...

OK ... when I read this one I thought that I might have written it myself and somehow hacked it onto the Newsarama website ... and then I remembered I'm not that clever :o)

Check it out ... http://www.newsarama.com/comics/091103-Best-Shots-Advanced.html, although I do seem to have trouble accessing the website at the moment ... maybe I imagined it after all.

Robot Shorts - A to Z. I is for .....

It's been a busy few weeks, October and November being Comics Convention season over here in the UK are typically busy, but this year we've added to the problem with Whatever Happened To The World's Fastest Man ? hitting the November's Diamond PREVIEWS catalogue.

Good news is that it has been given a SPOTLIGHT box around the listing, which will hopefully raise it to the attention of retailers as they make their orders. Bad news is that the same PREVIEWS catalogue has so may cross over events from DC and Marvel that I can see the retailers having very little spare cash with which to try something new, which is probably the DC/Marvel plan. Still, we've emailed reviews and low res PDF link out to about 800 retailers across the globe, mostly in the USA, so we'll have to see.

I'm off to a DAMA conference next week ... nothing to do with LOST I'm sorry to say, just a Data Conference ... to do with the day job ... sigh.
