More Comics Planned!

Well, along with the Rage redux, I've also been experimenting with a quicker method of making comics. This experimentation has to do with drawing and producing comics much faster. I can draw a six panel storyboard in about an hour or two, I want to be able to do the same with my comics.

Rage # 1 Intro Redux

   Well, after finally submitting my comics to the world and recieving my um, advice from the DCP podcast I've decided to redo the intro to Rage #1 to make it more reader friendly. There'll be a new intro that sets up Rage and his predicament better. So that's probably an extra page or two added to issue number 1.

   Wasn't able to get a table at Trinity's Great Lakes Comic Con for July. Unfortunately, it sold out before I could get the money for a table. I still might do the Madison Heights Con in September. Stay tuned, I have some special news around the corner!

Alex Walter The Shadow Templar

Been playing an RPG game called Marvel Superheroes and I've been playing around with an idea of using my new character for a new mini-comic.

It would be a very short comic but a fun one.

And yes, I realize he looks like the lead singer Angus Young from AC/DC in this pic.

Rage Podcast Review

      Just wanted to let you all know about a review on my comics The Adventures of Rage #1 & 2 on the Deconstructing Comics Podcast. They're a growing popular podcast on critiqing indie comics. 

      Now, it's not a necessarily a kind review, and I don't necessarily agree with all of it, but it's an honest review and I appreciate it. In fact, I'll be modifing

Rage #1 because of it. Mainly, it'll be the introductory page. Rage needs an introductory set-up so readers know what's going on with him and his mission from the beginning.

Here's the episode:

Something in The Works

Now that all three issues of Rage have come out, I've been thinking about Rage and what's next for him. I'm planing on definitely more issues but they'll be more self contained stories instead of three issue story arcs.

This is challenging, because they'll be very short, short, stories. About ten pages each, but if I get faster they might be longer. Rage's journey now will be a lot more introspective and hopefully shed some light on the half-bear-half human condition...

Anyway, 4th Hour the comic is still unfortunately on hold. That comic will come out along side Rage, once and a while.

Also in the works, is at least one or two issues explaining Rage's origin story. Still not sure how I'm gonna approach that one. So far his back story has been at a bear minimal...pun intended, but parts of it are up my head. Some fun flashback stories of Rage and Sgt. Gray are being played out. There could be lots of War Journal stories for them.

Well, thar's it for now. Stay tuned for an update to the blog as well as a chance  to buy issues on here too. As you can see the PayPal button in up but you can't order issues unless you go to IndyPlanet.com
