I am....

A quick review of what I do...

I recieve the script for the project, and it's my job to translate it. I have to interpret the dialogue into motivations of the chartacters, and co-ordinate all the interactions, and inform the actors performances.

This makes me the Director.

I also have to carry out those performances.

This makes me an actor.

Lazerman: Night of the Necrolord!

Since I'm  at home this week with the new baby, I've spent some time going through some of our books in between diaper changes, and plotting out the next few pages of Lazerman #7, which is the final issue in Lazerman's "Night of the Necrolord" story arc.

In looking at all of this, I find myself incredibly proud of this story, and how it's coming along...Honestly, I believe this is easily the best work me and Alan have ever put out. So I thought I'd take a moment to ask everyone to take a look at the Arc so far, and if you don't own the issues yet, consider giving the series a try starting with this story...


Lazerman #5: Night of the Necrolord Part 1





Rested and recovered from his fight at the statue of liberty, Lazerman is ready to make his triumphant return...only to suddenly find New York under attack from a legion a Zombies! Is he strong enough to battle a horde of the undead? The "Night of the Necrolord" has begun!









Lazerman #6: Night of the Necrolord, part 2













Lazerman has scattered the mob of zombies, and the city has seemingly been saved from the grip of the undead terror...but has the crisis really been averted, or is a more sinister plan unfolding? The night of the Necrolord Continues!









Seriously guys, this is an excellent doorway into the Lazerman story (and WITHOUT a reboot!), and I urge you guys to pick up the books, or at least go to the links above and check out the five page preview of each to see what I'm talking about. It's also the perfect way to get revved up for the release of issue 7, the final part of the "Night of the Necrolord" story, which we are hard at work on now (and is coming out great, btw!)


Lazerman #7: Night of the Necrolord,
part 3....Coming soon!


So please support HBComics by checking these out! Welcome to the NEW Mainstream!

Ashlyn was born at 4:43 PM, weiging in at a teeny-tiny 5 pounds, 13 ounces.


My daughter Lorelai welcoming her new baby sister.

Thanks everyone for their support...now that Ashlyn is finally here, the next week will be spent  changing diapers, helping out Ma-Ma, and drawing some Lazerman.

Life is good.

Flashback: The Art of Cheating, Part II: The CHEATING of ART

Well, just as before, the "Cheating" blog we re-posted generated a lot of discussion, both here at the blog and at the facebook links I posted it on. It seemed to strike enough of a chord in people that about a year later, I had written a second part to it...partially because of how popular it was, and secondly because I had more to say about the subject. It was partially because news had been circulating about a few artists that

Flashback: The ART of CHEATING

Once I decided I was going to do "flashback" blog, pulled from the archives of Myspace, I knew two blogs in particular that I knew would be on the list or re-post...starting with what i though was a thought-provoking post I called "The ART of CHEATING."

Back to Work, and Other Olde Fashioned Updates

After the few months "break" following the release of Lazerman #6 (and by "break" I mean not spending EVERY night in my brother's place, not sleeping, drawing until my eyes go crossed) we are, once again, in full-on comcs-makin' mode. Which means...spending more and more nights...in my brother's place...not sleeping....drawing...

Flashback: The Politics of Comics (or Lack-thereof.)

Hiedo-ho, cats and kittens. Time for another LAZERBLOG.

I mentioned in my first blog my plans to blantantly plagurize myself, and post "Flashback" blogs. Meaning, I was going to go into the archives of the original Myspace Lazerblog, and pull some old blog that I think are still interesting and readable. So I revved up the dial on the Way-Back Machine to a blog I did allll the way

Non-Conventional Thinking. (Or, Why no con?)

Hello all!

Wizardworld Comiccon is this week, and as usual whenever there is any major con I can't make, I'm of course very sad I can't be there. Same with San Diego last month...and for those not following the news, Wizardworld decided to cancel the New England Comiccon...which, as luck would have it, was

The LAZERBLOG RETURNS!

Hello one and all...welcome back to the Lazerblog...for the first time.

For those not aware, we at HBComics used to run "The Lazerblog" as a production diary for our first comic book series, Lazerman. It was updated (semi)weekly over at our myspace site, and would offer updates on the books production, news, and the occasional long-winded essay by yours truley. I sort of abandoned the
