Signing at Green Brain Comics!

Hey everyone!



I'll be doing a signing at Green Brain Comics in Dearborn, Mi on February 10th from 4-7. I'll have Reed Gunther issues, buttons, and free mini-comics. So if you're in the area, stop on by!

Some Reed Gunther News!

Hey everybody!



Issue 3, "Reed Gunther in Trains, Reigns, and Pains!" will be available tomorrow! To kick it off, Shane is doing a signing at The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach, CA this Wednesday (the 20th) from 6-8. So if you're in the area, stop by to say hello!

From the Reed Gunther blog:

Come hang out, snag the latest issue and chat me up! I’ll have free mini-comics to give away, Reed Gunther posters for sale, as well as Reed Gunther back issues!

EXCEPT! We have sold out of issue #1, Reed Gunther and the Steak Snacking Snake! Chris and I have decided to return to the printers for a second edition, complete with a brand spanking new cover! Once we receive those new #1’s we’ll be sure to let you know and have them back on the website for sale.

Thanks to everyone who bought an issue from our first run!

Also, issue 3 has received some nice reviews from The Comic Book Bin and The Pullbox. Thanks reviewers! Andy Frisk from The Comic Book Bin even included the Reed Gunther series in his "Frisk's Picks: 2009" as the Best Small Run/Indie Series!

Here's what he had to say:

A Bear Ridin’ Cowboy, a Steak Snackin’ Snake, a Stalac-Tight Spot, and some Trains, Reigns, and Pains combine to comprise the best quirky, off beat, funny, and all around enjoyable indie comic since mutated, pizza chompin’, teenaged turtles proved that off the wall characters and stories, if well drawn and written, can be more fun than a barrel full of “dead” Batmans.

Thanks to everyone for their continued support and be sure to drop by reedgunther.com tomorrow to order your copy of issue 3!

Revamped Website!

I recently revamped my website and it's now up and running! Give it a look-see and hopefully everything will run smoothly for you. ;)

Many thanks to Bob for helping me out with some last minute glitches that had me completely stumped.

Hope you guys like the new look and if all goes well, you won't be seeing this message very often:

Green Brain Comics "Covered" Show!

Hey internet surfers!



Green Brain Comics (the coolest comic book store around!) is doing another gallery show, based on Robert Goodin's popular blog, "Covered." Here's the write-up on the show:

Green Brain Comics is proud to announce the opening of a new art exhibit entitled "COVERED" on Wednesday, January 13th. The exhibit will be on display in Green Brain Comics's recently named gallery, HEADSPACE.

Inspired by a similar theme at the Covered blog (www.covered.blogspot.com) HEADSPACE curator Dan Merritt has assembled several pieces by artists that have brought their own touch to famous and infamous comic book covers from several different decades. "The theme for this exhibit has really sparked a creative flame." says Merritt "Each of these pieces has been lovingly recreated in tribute to the original art and the original artists that created them."

Featured in the exhibit will be works from Michigan based comic creators Paul Sizer, Matt Feazell, Sean Bieri and Chris Houghton. Joining them will be other well known local artists Eric Millikin, Bryan Durren and Heather Hansma. As well as many others, including Lizz James, Jesse Hughes, Jennifer Rose Evans, and a piece by Masheka Wood from New York.

The opening reception for the "Covered" exhibit will be Wednesday, January 13th, 2010 from 7pm to 10pm. The art will be on view until Saturday, March 6th.

HEADSPACE is inside Green Brain Comics which is located at 13210 Michigan Avenue in East Downtown Dearborn. More information is available at www.greenbrain.biz or by calling 313-582-9444

I contributed my Milton the Monster cover I did a couple of months ago as well as a more recent adaptation of Airboy #27. Did anyone else read Eclipse's Airboy series from the 80's?



So if you happen to be in Detroit next Wednesday, stop by Green Brain Comics!

The Astounding Wolf-Man Pin-up

Here's a pin-up I did for Jason Howard of his (and Robert Kirkman's) Astounding Wolf-Man! It's a pretty fun series but it's sadly ending with issue #25. It had a great run and some wild art by Jason, who just so happens to be a super nice guy to boot.

Big News for 2010!

So, I've got big news... it's a little over-due but we didn't want to be premature in announcing anything on the web before all of our close family and friends heard but...

Kassandra and I are getting married! Woo!



We figured with 2010 here and our June date just around the corner, there's no better time to shout it out than now. We're doing a nice "small" wedding at my parent's house in the country-side of Mid-Michigan and it should be a lot of fun. My brothers will be home, family and friends will join us, heck I even coaxed my long-time roommate Scott into being my best man. You remember Scott, right? ;)

Kass and I are super excited and have promised each other that once we get through this upcoming busy Summer and get settled into our new place... we're getting a cat.
