I'm a day late but I have officially changed the name of The Ghoul to...drumroll please...COUNT OBSIDEO. It's a little odd, I know, but so am I. Obsideo is Latin for haunt. I tried Count Haunt but it doesn't roll of the toungue well.
When choosing names for a character I go through tons of options until one just fits and this one does that. It fits with the B-Movie/pulp hero/ monsters/ fun vibe that I am going for. Plus it lends itself great for marketing.
Count on danger.
Count on monsters.
Count Obsideo.

M.I.A.
Yes, this is my first post of the month. Not something I'm proud of but I got a nasty stomach virus that knocked me out of commission for about a week. Now I'm back. Thanks to lots of rest and Chuck Norris.
The convention was fun. I believe there was a greater attendance than at the previous Planet Comicon but I could be wrong. Kenny Baker and David Finch had the longest autograph lines. Most of the usual local creators were there as well as a few new ones. I still think more fun will be had when I am one of those behind the desk and not in front of it. Hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later. I'm putting most of my eggs in the basket of The Ghoul (Watch for a name change soon) and will at least have the entire limited series scripted by the end of the year, hopefully even this summer. After that...we'll see, I have a couple of other properties ready for their own comic. Anyway, back to the con. I ended up finding a good deal on a hardcover graphic novel Marvel Monsters. I love me some monsters.
After posting my short story The Weeping Beast on this blog I realized, to my horror, that it was an unedited version of the story. Congratulations, you have been witness to the birthing process of one of my stories. It's messy, kinda yucky and painful but bubblegum cigars will be handed out anyway.
I love all my babies.
