July 11, 2012: Two Days to Comic Con! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Allies!
Qu'est ce que c'est? Why, it's the Stargate: Atlantis ultimate box set. It includes the entire series PLUS a bonus disc with all new extras. I'll be giving it away to some lucky, random individual who comes to visit me between 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. this Saturday at the Dark Horse Comics booth (#2615). Whether…
July 10, 2012: Ouch! 3 Days to Comic Con! Dogs enjoying the Summer! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Inferno!
I hit play on the DVD and, as a fifth season episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia started up, I took a seat and tested the dumbbells. It was my triceps day so I figured I'd start with flat bench extensions, move on to overhead extensions, then to close grip press, and finish up…
July 7, 2012: 7 Days to Comic Con! A Stargate Reunion – of sorts! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! Coup D’Etat!
So, I'm prepping for Comic Con, selecting giveaway items for the fans who will visit my booth - accidentally assuming it's a Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along-related signing only to discover the truth to late! The gate will be shut and locked behind them for the duration of my hour long meandering reminiscences of all the places…
July 6, 2012: The Comic Con Approacheth! Days of Stargate: Atlantis Past! The Long Goodbye!
It's official. I WILL be doing a signing in support of my comic book series, Dark Matter, at the upcoming San Diego Comic Con. NOT in the parking lot or out of my hotel room but INSIDE the actual convention center! WHEN? Saturday, July 14th. 4:00 p.m. WHERE? Dark Horse Comics booth number #2615. WHY SHOULD…
June 20, 2012: Dark Matter (and me!) at Comic Con! Take a breather with Jelly! Winners of the Greatest Mid-Season Two-Parter in Stargate History contest!
Finally booked my hotel for Comic Con next month which means I WON'T be sleeping on the floor of the convention center after all. On the one hand, it's nice to know I can look forward to a mattress, a hot shower, and room service cookies and milk, but on the other hand, I was…
June 13, 2012: Dark Matter at Comic Con! Save Lennox the dog! Days of Stargate Past, Atlantis! The Eye and The Defiant One! Vote on our favorite Stargate mid-season two-parter for a chance to win!
It looks like I will be in San Diego for Comic Con, signing copies of my SF comic book series, Dark Matter, at the Dark Horse booth (conveniently located steps away from where former Stargate scribe Remi Aubuchon will be overseeing the action at the Falling Skies booth). I'll have the space for about an hour…
June 11, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Batman Forever!
Batman Forever. Well, at almost two hours running time, it sure feel dat way. After box office suckcess of first two Batman movies, studio reward Tim Burton by replacing him as direktor and changing tone of franchise to make it less dark and more kid friendly. Result is movie about as stoopid as Batman Returns…
May 22, 2012: Running the miniseries marathon! And the Dark Matter TPB is on its way!
If this miniseries were a marathon, these last two legs would have been all uphill. I'm exhausted but have passed the halfway mark and, while I forge ahead, keeping to my grueling act a day pace, Paul is following a few steps back - reading, revising and making sure everything actually makes sense. Once I…
May 18, 2012: Dark Matter artist Garry Brown answers your questions!
When my editor at Dark Horse, Patrick Thorpe, asked me which artist I wanted to work with on Dark Matter, I had a difficult time offering a name. Yes, there are plenty of comic book artists whose work I greatly admire but, being a relative newcomer to the field, I didn't feel right pitching someone…
April 11, 2012: Decisions, decisions! Another Dark Matter review!
I picked up a few books today and I'm trying to decide on some sort of reading order. Familiar with any of the above titles? Able to read the above titles? Okay, allow me to help: Dark Places, Gillian Flynn The Story Sisters, Alice Hoffman The Islanders, Christopher Priest (actually, already halfway through this one).…
April 10, 2012: Getting my macaron fix! Full Preview Dark Matter #4!
Everyone has their weaknesses. For some it's drugs. For others it's drink. For still others, it can be something as seemingly innocuous as surfing the internet, head massages, or shirtless albino guys. For me, it's ice cream and macarons. I've never been much of a drinker and, to be honest, golf and drugs hold equal…
February 10, 2012: All aboard the Dark Matter express! Next stop: a t.v. near you! Sampling Crunchyroll! What’s up with Apple? And Carl and Alexander’s early, early Christmas gifts!
The second issue of my comic book series, Dark Matter, came out last weekend to some terrific reviews. Thanks to everyone who has been supporting the book by picking up a copy. If you haven't already checked it out, please do so by swinging by your local bookstore, or ordering a copy (for those of…
February 9, 2012: Max
I picked up Max's ashes from the animal hospital yesterday, shortly after getting back into town. They were accompanied by a certificate of cremation and a copy of The Rainbow Bridge, a poem I've never been able to bring myself to read in its entirety. Amongst the mail that had amassed over my twelve days…
February 6, 2012: Tokyo Day #10! Still thinking about it! Dim Sum! Ueno! Back to Harujuku! Another night with the ladies!
Hey, I hear what you're all saying. There's a big difference between visiting a place for two weeks out of the year and actually living there, however I am a creature of habit. I adjusted quite quickly to Vancouver after the move from Montreal and then adjusted to life alone with the dogs. When Akemi…
