The second issue of my comic book series, Dark Matter, hits the shelves soon (February 8th last I heard). If you haven’t picked up the first issue yet, I strongly urge you to do so as reports have it selling out. This, of course, means it is a sought-after collectible no doubt destined to be [...]

Well, after being up for twenty-four hours straight, traveling halfway across the world, suffering two sleepless nights and two early wake-ups, and experiencing the most splendiferous sugar-high, I came crashing down last night halfway between the Pierre Herme pistachio macaroni and the Margherita pizza. But I get ahead of myself. I’m not much of a [...]

With my first full day in Tokyo behind me, I have a lot to cover here on the blog – and a lot to look forward to in the coming days. The change of pace and location has provided a much-needed, greatly appreciated distraction. Still, I think of Maximus often and wonder how the other [...]

When I woke up this morning, my eyeballs felt like desiccated husks swarming with fire ants. Compounding the issue was the fact that “morning”, in this case, was 3:37 a.m. Following a series of travel-related delays, we didn’t end up checking into our hotel until 9:00 p.m. local time. After grabbing a quick meal, showering, [...]

The night before my departure, I started my next day’s blog, figuring I could get a head start on a short travel day. The photo of Bubba sitting in my suitcase seemed an appropriate intro, and the final page preview of Dark Matter #2 a perfect ending. I would have a couple of hours before [...]

When Maximus was first diagnosed back in July, the vet warned me it was a very aggressive form of cancer and that his chances of survival were small. Still, when I discovered that I was only a 90 minute drive away from one of the country’s best animal oncology clinics, I didn’t hesitate to make [...]
January 25, 2012: Awww %&^#! Maximus! Dark Matter #2 Preview!

So, about twelve years ago, I had an idea for a horror movie – an idea, in retrospect, well ahead of its time. Instead of writing the script, I sat on the idea. A couple of years later, a movie came out that was, in its unique direction, very similar. And so, the idea ended [...]
