First, the latest updateContinue reading “Galaxy Ascendant 3 Cover Art Update, & a Brief Artistic Journey Through the Series so Far”

Galaxy Ascendant 3 Indiegogo Launch!
That’s right! Today, I launched the indiegogo campaign for Galaxy Ascendant 3: A Shifting Alliance. Despite efforts to avoid further conflict, the Galaxy is at war again. The Galactic Alliance, made up of both old allies and recent enemies, now face down the large and oppressive Revittan Empire, a very different enemy than they haveContinue reading “Galaxy Ascendant 3 Indiegogo Launch!”

A bit later than initially planned, but we’ve made it to the big moment, and now I get ot share with you a project that has been in progress, in one form or another, for quite a long time, and is something different from my previous and upcoming Galaxy Ascendant books. Let me introduce youContinue reading “New Release: The Dragon Hand”
First They Came For Vox Day…and I Will Not Be Silent
As fate would have it, I was working on my own upcoming IndieGogo campaign last night when I first saw Jon Del Arroz mention on Twitter that he had strangely received a refund from IndieGogo of his contribution to the Alt-Hero: Q comic crowdfund, a comic written by famed creator Chuck Dixon, and published byContinue reading “First They Came For Vox Day…and I Will Not Be Silent”
Star Wars is Dead: Long Live the Galaxy Ascendant!
I don’t recall where I first heard the statement that in Hollywood, people fail upward, but it’s especially appropriate given the recent news that Kathleen Kennedy’s contract with Lucasfilm has been extended by three years—despite the sorry state of what was formerly one of the most powerful, sure-fire franchises in existence. Under her tenure, TheContinue reading “Star Wars is Dead: Long Live the Galaxy Ascendant!”
Cover Reveal: The Dragon Hand
It’s taken a bit longer than expected, due to thing beyond both my and my artist’s control, but it’s well worth the wait. Things have been generally very busy lately, and I’m past due for a general update on my various projects (coming soon!). But rest assured, my army service hasn’t had a negative impactContinue reading “Cover Reveal: The Dragon Hand”
The Bully Cries out as he Strikes You
It, of course, comes as no surprise that those opposed to ComicsGate label their ideological opponents as “harassers,” or “bullies,” or other defamatory statements, all with the idea of alleging that we make others feel unsafe, and wish to exclude people of certain groups from industries or events–despite the fact that this couldn’t be furtherContinue reading “The Bully Cries out as he Strikes You”
At What Point has the Line Been Irrevocably Crossed? (Part 2: The Assault on Jeremy Hambly)
The wider Culture War has been raging for some time now, but, as of late, it really seems to me that several lines have been crossed, and the future seems headed to a dark place due to that. The attack aimed at an author from within a published comic was bad enough, but physical assaultContinue reading “At What Point has the Line Been Irrevocably Crossed?

At What Point Has the Line Been Irrevocably Crossed? (Part 1: The Personal Attack Aimed Jon Del Arroz from Within a Dynamite Comic)
I, and many others, have talked about the ongoing culture war many times–a war which I usually reference in regard to things like books, comics, etc, but which encompass a much broader struggle. Over the last couple of days, three things really stuck out to me, things that seem to indicate that yet more linesContinue reading “At What Point Has the Line Been Irrevocably Crossed?

The Three Weeks: A Time of Mourning–but Also Pride
A few days ago, with the Fast of the 17th of Tammuz, the period of the Jewish year known as the Three Weeks began. Technically lasting 22 days most of the time (23 this year because fasts that fall on Saturday [Shabbat] are pushed off to Sunday, this is a sad period, during with weContinue reading “The Three Weeks: A Time of Mourning–but Also Pride”
