Price change?
Feb 21After very long and extremely careful consideration, I've decided to raise the price on Chooseomatic ebooks from $2.99 to $3.99. Compared to the trade paperback price ($14.95), and just about any of your other price/entertainment value options, I think it remains a screaming deal (it's something like 3 and a half cents for each of Zombocalypse Now's 112 endings, and I gotta eat, you know?)
I just wanted to toss up a quick post to say that if you've been thinking of getting ZN for Kindle, Nook or iBooks, jump all over it befoe the change takes effect and save a buck. But the new price went live at Apple & Barnes & Noble as I was typing this (those sumbitches are ALL OVER IT.) Amazon can't be far behind! Just fair warning!
Practice Sketching!

I'm just finishing up Thrusts of Justice -- it should be ready to go into editing next week! Then it's full time work on the illustrations, and with that in mind I've been messing around with some sketches, trying to find a style that's somewhere between traditional comic book art and my usual goofy-cartoony comfort zone.
This is an experiment I did working from reference -- I suspect the final art for the book won't turn out looking too much like this, but I thought the sketch came out kinda cool. Also, Punchy is not a character in the book! Do not be sad when you find all 89 possible endings, and none of them lead you to punchy!
Fatman Go!
Feb 08
In the upcoming Chooseomatic Book Thrusts of Justice, one of the story paths has you assuming the identity of Nightwatchman, an obvious Batman stand-in. So I had to laugh when I stumbled on a flash game called Fatman Go! -- apparently, there are those who don't pussyfoot around outright copyright theft the way I do.
It's actually a fun little physics platformer where you swing around steel girders with your grappling hook Fatarang trying to carry a bomb into a raincloud (if you haven't read many Batman comics, let me assure you that this is all canon). And it turns out you can embed it, so feel free to try it out right here.
I'm not saying that I've been playing this a lot instead of working on the new book. But I will say that I'm stuck on level 18, and screw that game, anyway.
Charles & Erik: MORTAL FRENEMIES
Feb 06I've started posting over at Favorite Thing Ever again! And since working on Thrusts of Justice has resulted in a bad case of superhero brain, here's my big fanboy gush about last Summer's X-MEN: FIRST CLASS.
Just FYI
Jan 27I've been having some crazy, crazy times getting the website transferred to the new url, so if anything looks funky here, please bear with me. Honestly, if you're even reading this post, COUNT YOUR LUCKY STARS.
I'm pretty sure this is my penance for hideous Wordpress crimes committed in a previous life.
