Con Prep and Mastorism Covers

Some updates...

I know I said I was going to post more, and that is the plan here.  Buuuuuut, once I wrapped up the webcomic end of Mastorism, I spent some time helping my good pal Sebastian Piccione with letters and production for his Allied Forces book (awesome stuff, I suggest checking it out - hopefully up on indyplanet soon, I will let you know when it hits).  After that I had to wrap up my own books which included Mastorism: Terror in Sector Five and an Explosion Proof collection/one-shot (both available on indyplanet.com). By the time I got done with that...  into prep for WonderCon!  Never a moments rest here! But I love it!

So, I have some new art to post soon, but before that, I thought it was only fair if I shared the new Mastorism cover with you. The Drunk Duckers have seen it for weeks now! Colors by the fantastic Norman Wong! Enjoy!

 

Ka-POW!

Ka-POW!  So, the artwork (drawing portion anyway) is done for Mastorism: Terror in Sector Five.  Yep, I wrapped up the artwork for the cover and sent it of to my colorist, the fantastic Norman Wong, so he can do his magic.  To celebrate, I did this quicky, and decidedly NON-Mastorism, doodle of Explosion Proof to loosen up a bit.  

Not quite sure what's coming up next, but I AM going to try and get back into the blogging habit.  I wanted to be much more active in my blog before, but considering I essentially already did two posts a week, plus the rigorous drawing schedule-- yeah, that didn't happen.  So, here's to new things!

Enjoy!

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT!  John's destiny was to vanquish the Phantom Lord so that he could ultimately become his replacement!  Ever since John's birth, the PL has been doing all that he could to avoid his ultimate fate. 

Yes, indeed, this is the final page of Mastorism, at least for the foreseeable future.

I may have taken a risk ending this so abruptly.  Does the universe rejoice?  Does a civil war erupt?  What do the rest of the characters think?  I leave that up to you...  for now anyway! 

So, I hope you've enjoyed reading Mastorism as much as I have enjoyed creating it for you.  Its really been a blast overall!  Although the comic posting anniversary is in April, I've definitely been working on it for a good three years solid.  Hard to believe so much time has gone by! 

I wanted to take the time to thank everyone for all of their support.  Everyone who's got on board and hung on since the beginning.  Everyone who's joined us periodically throughout.  And most especially my family - my wife, my children, and my parents who not only have been super supportive, but also very understanding about the long hours I've put into this comic.  THANK YOU! 

SO YES, this is the last page, but as I have the print version coming out, etc, there will be additional associated art and announcements to come, but I have no new Mastorism story coming up in the near future.  If you want to keep up with other things I'm doing, I'm going to start doing more regular posts on my blog (hopefully) and at the very least keep it up today with whatever comic project I'm working on, etc. 

Again, thank you thank you for taking the time to read this comic, I cannot thank you enough for joining me on this fun ride!

AS ALWAYS, thanks for reading and commenting!

BOOM!

And you thought those shades were just to look cool!

I've got lots to say on thursday, I'm sure, so I'm keeping it short and sweet today! 

Enjoy!

Thanks for reading and commenting.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO EVERYONE: Due to the issues getting stuff posted on Drunk Duck over the last week, and to stay on schedule, I'm posting THREE pages this week, so be sure and catch them all. This is the THIRD of the three pages here.  So if you're used to reading at the end of the week and going back one page... you're going to want to go back two pages...

ANYHOW!

The first half of the big reveal is here!  John John was a Mastor all along!  But JUST YOU WAIT (and wait you will, until tuesday) FOR THE NEXT PAGE!  Three years, 200+ pages and a crapload of me ranting and raving in the page commentary has all been leading up to THIS!!!!!!

Enough hype for you?  Go back and read it again, this time using the movie-guy voice! 

Enough sillyness.  I AM super excited though, so I hope you've been enjoying the comic, and I hope you enjoy what's coming up next week! 

As always, thanks for reading and commenting!  And I will see you next tuesday!

IMPORTANT NOTE TO EVERYONE:  Due to the issues getting stuff posted on Drunk Duck over the last week, and to stay on schedule, I'm posting THREE pages this week, so be sure and catch them all.  This is the second of the three pages here.

SO a bit of exposition over the next two pages, and hopefully some payoff for those of you loyal readers who've managed to stick around since the very beginning (thank you!).  Its time to learn the TRUTH about John John and the ultimate motive behind the Phantom Lord's reckless destruction!

Then, next week, the final two pages next week!  Get ready for the big reveal!

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Well, I apologize for the lack of postings due to the issues with Drunk Duck.  As a thank you for your patience (and to keep the comic on schedule) this week will likely be a three page week! 

After that... only one week left!

Thanks for reading and commenting!
