[quote=“Cat Stevens, post:20, topic:2596”]I’ve really been enjoying the Palmotti/Grey run on Jonah Hex, especially the one-and-dones with Jordi Bernet on art. I drew this tonight after reading the latest issue:

Very nice work.
I agree with Phil - nice work on the Hex art.
Thanks guys! But this pales embarrassingly in comparison to the great artists who’ve worked on the latest Hex run. If you haven’t read / are not reading, you should be.
After reading Whedon’s highly entertaining treatment of the X-Men, I read Alan Davis’ The Nail. I am a huge fan of Davis and this was a fun, engaging read. One of the most engrossing superhero mystery stories of this type that I have read since Brad Meltzer’s Identity Crisis, which I highly recommend.
I have been dipping into all sorts of other stuff as well, but Y: The Last Man has been particularly enjoyable.
I picked up a few collections of Human Target for a friend’s birthday present yesterday. If you’ve seen the show, then you’ve seen a really horrible adaptation of what was my favorite comic of the last decade. Human Target, as written by Peter Milligan, was an exploration of identity, especially the post-9/11 American identity, with beautiful illustration by three artists:
Edvin Biuković (who sadly died shortly after finishing the mini-series):
Javier Pulido (who did an OGN, Final Cut, that introduced the regular series, and then the first half of the series):
And Cliff Chiang (who finished up the series until it was canceled - this art is a commission from my own collection):
Another thing I don’t have time these days, I’ve an huge Heavy Metal magazines collection, and I keep my comics since I was less than ten years old, for instance I have the original numbers of the Elektra Saga (publish still by Brazilian publisher of Marvel who was also the distributer in Portugal in those days) among other rarities I kept them all, just don’t have the time to read it no more, sad
You should make time, El Topo. Aside from masturbation, reading comic books is the only hobby I have which makes me feel like a kid again.
Just don’t combine the two - that’s just weird 
Someone hasn’t read much Milo Manara…
Oh yeah - I even have some… and some of that stuff by Serpieri (Creatura/Druuna).
In fact I’ve just been checking the Priory’s library …
I could be gone some time…
You had a pretty weird childhood then ;).

Hey Rev. – Once I found a thread for your comic-in-progress, which looked amazing. Can’t find it now though. Any chance that comic is still in progress?
Thanks for the encouragement. It’s been ‘on hold’, although I’ve been tweaking the story.
I lost a bit of patience with the media - initially I was working quite big on canvas but realised I couldn’t carry on at that size so invested in 90 :o canvas boards to finish it, but I don’t enjoy these as much. I think I’ll have to persevere though. Ironically, I’ve got a meeting (pub) with a photoshop whizzkid friend tonight to discuss scanning these done so far and flattening the texture in the speech bubbles and putting in better text.
I saw your picture as well, that looks good so I see I’ve got competition - nah - howabouts we’ll start a revival between us!! ;D
Have you got further plans?
The thread with my stuff on is here btw…

WARNING - Parental Guidance for this one…
I’ve got a story idea. I might plot it out and do some sample art this fall. But I also have a dissertation due and a baby on the way in August, so probably not!
Which means you should commit to yours even more. At least one of us should do something!

Blimey - you will be busy!! And I should feel guilty having done of those commitments… but you can play the uke, and I have still to learn. 
So… Bill sA - it’s up to you then! How’s yours goin’?
[quote=“Reverend Danite, post:35, topic:2596”]So… Bill sA - it’s up to you then! How’s yours goin’?[/quote]Actually I finished my deviant story few weeks ago. And it looks like the shit 
It’s 92 pages long story based loosely on Django Kill with many sex scenes. Haha!
Maybe I’ll try to find someone crazy enough to publish it or I might publish myself a edition of few hundred copies or something.

Well done mate - an example to us all.
Self-publishing is a way to go these days. Cheaper than ever to print stuff and t’interweb to get it moving.
I’m obviously not “deviant” but I’ll buy it! ;D

Well done Bill; perhaps you could post a few more samples from it?
Or maybe post it on DeviantArt.com, where the url would be fitting?
