Only $2.99! Saturday, September 15, 2011Busy Busy Busy!Slowly but surely, the December IF-X, WEST, is coming together; Mike Bunt just delivered a draft of the artwork for the last installment of "Legend of the Demon Box," and I have "Frontier Homicide" by Albrecht Arcand already in-house, along with prose by Liam Webb and a cover by photgrapher Sandy Wheaton. With that set up, we are preparing for IF-X' Big Finish next year (click here for more information.), and we've been asked to handle the Kickstarter for MP Media's "The Adventures of Jack Uzi", (Click here for more information.). On top of this, you've seen how serious the political-economic mess has gotten when *I* actually start blogging. For a fresh (and perhaps unusual) perspective, please visit "Screaming at the Deaf," my particular take on demonstrations and media and the political leaders that treat the information they get there as actual information.

Saturday, April 2, 2011APRIL FOOLS and Amazing Things7I really need to update this more often. Since last talking here, I've done more work on the Cynicalman movie, mostly promoting it, but also getting ready to do some important Doctor Pweent voiceovers. I've also been working with Michael "Freon" Andaluz on his JACK UZI project. In fact, part of the reason I've been quiet for so long is that I've been busy cleaning HIMquarters to allow him to shoot some scenes here!Meanwhile, with April Fools Day itself in the rearview mirror, I'm proud to announce the new APRIL FOOLS issue of IF-X!  Only $2.99! Also, some of the friends I've made in the indie press have been asking me, "Michael, how is it that you've been putting out IF-X so regularly without going bankrupt?" Well, the secret is not to spend money putting the books together! Curious? Well, check out this small pamphlet, How to Publish Your Comics Without Losing Your Shirt, only $1.50, shipping included (Hey, I have to pay for the stamp, too, you know!) Thursday, January 20, 2011NORTH to...?Howdy, folks, and welcome to 2011--I know some of us didn't think we'd make it to see this day, so congratulations on surviving. If, on the other hand, you're a ghost and you're reading this, go haunt John Boehner and Mitch McConnell until they resign. We'll all rest that much easier.That said, NORTH is back from the printers EARLY (yes, that scares me, too) and I'll be taking it around to stores first weekend in early February.  Only $2.99! Friday, December 3, 2010Hot and Cold and Refreshing HATCHHey, everybody! I've got a bunch of BIG NEWS to drop on you!First of all, the December issue of IF-X has just come in from the printer, and it looks GREAT! See for yourself!  Only $2.99! This is the LAST ISSUE in IF-X, Volume 2; Volume 3 starts in February 2011, with "North," and runs through Issue 12, in December 2012, with "Endings." After that, there will be NO MORE individual issues of IF-X. We do, however, have a new anthology project in the works, code-named MELANGE, but we won't talk more about this until it's better fleshed-out. Also, those who missed out on our first runs of IF-X #3 will be glad to know that in the process of testing out various local printers, a new, VERY SMALL RUN of IF-X #3 is back in stock, featuring all the usual loveliness, now handled by GREKO PRINTING.  A collectible STEAL at $3.50! Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Hamtramck's local arts collective, HATCH, has been shortlisted for one of those Pepsi "Refresh Everything" grants. Voting will go throughout December--you can vote EVERY DAY to help the group transform an old abandoned police station and jail into an arts and culture center! Voting is FREE, so GET INVOLVED! Wednesday, September 19, 2010Halloween 2010 and Other News!Well, we've got the October issue of IF-X out a little bit early Only $2.99! HIM has also been offered the opportunity to teach courses at the Huron Valley Council for the Arts--we're offering several sessions for "Sequential Art and the Graphic Novel" (listed on the page as "Graphic Sequential Art"). If we get enough people signing up, it'll be an opportunity to work with us on comic project of your own design! Also, on October 30th and 31st, we're also going to be at this year's first NEW fall media festival, DETROIT FANFARE!
