So it begins...

God I love comics, don't you? I was fourteen or fifteen when I bought my first comic at a 7-11, back in the days when such places still carried even a modicum amount of comic books on their magazine racks. It was a Marvel comic set in the Age of Apocalypse; Gambit & the Externals. I had been watching the X-Men cartoon on fox since it's inception and definitely had an affinity for the Gambit character, with his brash coolness and do-whatever-I-want attitude certainly playing a role in me picking up the book in the first place.

Since that time in the mid-nineties my collection of comics has grown to several thousand and my appreciation of characters has expanded greatly. There are of course the staples: Batman, Superman and Iron Man but I have delved into not necessarily lesser-known but certainly lesser-appreciated characters like the Silver Surfer.

I now stand on the precipice of joining the world I have admired and appreciated for more than a decade and a half. My first published work will begin to appear on the Ape Entertainment digital publishing platform Apecmx on October 3rd. I teamed up with Mike D. Kim, a fantastic artist whose work can be viewed at Mike's Blogspot to create a comic I am really proud of. More information on this, including links and possibly some sketch/inked pages to come in the near future! So be on the lookout for that.

Well, that's a good start, I think I'll sign off for now.
