Looking forward, but keeping an eye on the past

I love comics. I do. So much that one day I hope have something on the stands. I am an artist (wannabe). Comic Art is a passion that has to take the back burner these days because of things like my day job, starting ComicSubz and trying to be a good husband. So something has to give.

But even though I can’t practice that much, I can still enjoy a book as Jessica watches the season finale of The Bachelor (which comes on at the same time as Heroes!!!).

Now that my collection encompasses most of the modern comics over the last 15 years, I have to start looking to comics that pre-date my collection. I picked up a trade of Jack Kirby’s Black Panther. WOW! This is amazing. I find that I like Kirby's more refined work as opposed to his early work... like the first issues of FF.

Do you have any recommendations for trades that have Kirby’s more refined style? Let me know by shooting over a comment.

On the ComicSubz front, development just closed up a major milestone. I am currently testing the app, and so far, it is coming together nicely.

I also just finished a first draft of the web site for ComicSubz. Waiting for feedback, but I think that it is coming together well.

More on every front soon!
