The guy who made and runs this site (our very own David Thornton from this board) is amazing!
He updates the news section of this site EVERY WEEK DAY!

Bookmark to keep up with stuff!

It's where I'll go to find the updates

Some of you have some letters in it

Looking forward to what you think of this story.

Anyone going? (not too many Kiwi's here i know but i thought i'd ask.

The gang from Gotham comics Auckland will be there (including me ) and we'll have new copies of New Ground issue #2 for sale featuring among much great stuff my own Rally Mark car-toon!

Weehee!
Robin

And give my regards to everyone at Armageddon!
And best to you too!
David

Hi David,
I have passed on your wishes to the Gotham gang and will do the same at Armageddon!

Jeremy Bishop says it was his Mum that gave you the Arnica!! Cool!! He is totally stoked and we're gonna send you a little package from da kiwi's.

It was uber cool to meet you in 2002, if your down this way again there's some cool rock climbing around and just out of Auckland too.

Cheers David!
Robin

Thanks for the great post!
and for reading my work.
If it is ok, I'll probably include a portion of you post in the lettters collumn in an upcoming Alchemy issue

Good to see you in Chicago!
Kindest regards,
David

So, MACK!, what's the most interesting/surprising thing you've learned about David Mack by reading the
website?

And the interviews where other artists/writers mention me that he has on the updates are things that I never would have seen or heard of otherwise.

 p.s. i really like the links to t-shirts & other kabuki-merch... really makes me want to get a gai-jeans one too!

AND i especially like the randomly generated kabuki quotes!

I'll let you know if I run by that issue of Giant Robot that has the review of KABUKI Circle of Blood. It shows the cover too. The cover of the first printing at the Caliber publishing. Pre- Image. So I think it is an issue from 1996 where they reviewed it right after it came out.
It was a really nice positive review. Something to the effect that it was great to have a book that you can not only enjoy but learn something from.

Signing at Atomic Comics...

We’re doing it again! The weekend of October 22nd & 23rd Atomic Comics is holding it’s 2nd annual October Free Comic Book Day extravaganza, subtitled “Atomic-Con”. Loads of creators (and we’re still adding more!) have signed on to help make this weekend special including Joe Quesada, Brian Michael Bendis, David Mack, Frank Cho, Jim Mahfood, Steve Rude, Robert Kirkman, Mike Kunkel, Scott Kolins, Cory Walker, Chris Giarrusso, James Owens, Raven Gregory, Patrick Scherberger, Marat Mychaels, Rob Osborne and of course, the official Marvel Comics Spider-Man himself! How often do folks get to meet that much talent for free?!?!?

On Friday evening, Atomic is hosting a charity original art auction with 100% of the proceeds benefiting ACTOR and the East Valley Child Crisis Center. During last year’s October FCBD we raised $4000.00 for charities, and with this year’s line-up we’re hoping to blast way past that number!

Saturday the 23rd is the day for the fans! Free comic books for everyone! Spider-Man in person to meet the kids (and the kid in all of us), and some of the comic industry’s brightest stars on hand for autographs! Add in all sorts of cool sun stuff from donut dunking to face painting to yo-yo contests, and we’re looking at one fantastic weekend of thank-you’s for our industry’s loyal fans!

As Michael Malve, Atomic Comic’s owner put it, “Yowza! This is huge! This is FREE!”
