Catch the LobStar!
Today is the launch day for the LobStar Kickstarter project and it’s your chance to get on board right away! As longtime readers of my blog might now, I’m a wannabe comic book writer myself. Gamer Girl & Vixen is coming along nicely, and I’ll have the first issue of my solo series — Cover Bard — ready to go sometime next year probably. I’m making these comics with some pals of mine through the Very Big Comics publishing imprint.
And now my pals are producing the first issue of LobStar, a story about a New England superhero fighting local corruption. LobStar #1 launches today on Kickstarter!
The comic is written by Jamieson Alcorn, with artwork by Sierra Barnes.
Matthew Murphy is a simple Downeast Maine lobsterman who commits a selfless act only to find himself chosen as the champion of the Lord of Lobsters. But his new powers were granted for a specific reason, and Matt has no choice but to accept a quest to leave his old life behind and learn about his new mission.
While he’s away, Matt’s hometown becomes the center of a lot of unwanted attention after news of his supernatural encounter gets out, and his rival Dave O’Connor is in the perfect position to capitalize on his absence.
You can also read a preview of the comic at GlobalComix.
So yeah, if you’re a fan of indie comics and want to support me and my pals in making comics, go back the LobStar Kickstarter today!

Check Out the New Cloakroom Issue on Kickstarter!
There’s less than a week left for the new Kickstarter campaign for the latest issue of The Cloakroom. This is the anthology series produced by students in Scott Snyder’s Comics Writing 101 class, of which I’ve been a proud member for a few years now. I even had a short story featured in the first issue of the anthology! I need to remember to share that full comic on here someday.
Anyway, I wanted to give a shout out to the new campaign because they’ve still got a ways to go before they hit their goal, in less than a week!
If you like short comics and want to help support some good people making good comics, then definitely consider backing the latest issue of The Cloakroom.

Last Chance to Order Museum of the Uncanny!
Good news, everybody! The comic Kickstarter I’m currently a part of has hit its goal and will get published! The Museum of the Uncanny is a spooky comic anthology full of short stories about unique and creepy objects, written by a diverse team of up-and-coming comic creators from around the world! And I just happen to also have a story in the book!
Today is the last chance to order your copy. The book is happening, it will get published, the goal has been reached. Now we’re just raising additional money to try to squeeze a few extra stories into each one, so more bang for everybody’s buck!
If you were waiting for the last minute to order this book, that time is upon us. The campaign ends tomorrow morning and then production will wrap up and we’ll get the book to the printer and then out to everybody who ordered a copy.
My story is called “The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk,” which is about an ordinary, everyday quesadilla maker. I promise.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg for awesome, spooky stories you can get at The Museum of the Uncanny!

Step Into the Museum of the Uncanny!
The Kickstarter has launched for the Museum of the Uncanny comic book anthology! I have a short story in this anthology! So how cool would you be if you went to Kickstarter and pre-ordered the comic?! Very cool indeed. There are 8 short stories — with possibly more added via stretch goals — for the low low price of only $29 buckaroos. The stories are about unique and weird artifacts that someday find their way into the museum.
Museum of the Uncanny is produced by my friends at Very Big Comics. It’s me and my friends making our own comics, which has long been my dream and the driving force behind this very blog in the first place.
I’m doing it! I’m making comics!
My short story is called “The Normal Quesadilla That Definitely Can’t Talk,” and it’s about a quesadilla maker that probably can’t talk.
The art is by Wren Rios, with lettering by Marina Leon. Fun team to work with! And I’m really proud of this story.
So yeah, if you’re in the mood to buy some new, indie comics and support some up and coming creators — like yours truly — head on over to Kickstarter and pre-order your copy today of Museum of the Uncanny!

I Have a Short Comic Coming Up in Museum of the Uncanny!
In my ongoing efforts to become a professional comic book writer, I’ve got another short story coming up! My short story will be part of the upcoming Museum of the Uncanny anthology from Very Big Comics, which is coming to Kickstarter early next month. Right now, we’re collecting advance sign-ups to be notified when the Kickstarter goes live. You don’t have to commit to buying the book at this point, it’s just sign ups for people interested.
So head on over to Kickstarter and click the button to be notified! The more people we get signed up, the better Kickstarter will treat us once the campaign gets going.
My story will be called The Normal Quesadilla Maker That Definitely Can’t Talk. I wrote the script, with artwork by Wren Rios and lettering by Marin.
The title is pretty self explanatory, I think. But here’s the quick blurb I wrote for the piece:
“We assure you the quesadilla maker can’t talk. The manufacturer assures you the quesadilla maker can’t talk. The quesadilla maker itself will assure you it can’t talk.”
The whole anthology is going to be filled with similar stories of weird, funny and spooky objects all collected in the titular museum. I think it’s a neat idea for a comic anthology and I’m so excited that I got picked!
And I hope I can count on you fine readers to sign up for the campaign, and perhaps even order the anthology once the campaign goes live next month! Slowly but surely, I’m gonna keep getting comic stories published. I’m gonna be a contender!
