Heroes Con 2011 - Part 10

Some relatively new web comics that I learned about at the show and have started to read. The descriptions below were written by the authors.



Distillum by Sarah Dill - one good f#ckup deserves a thousand more. The streets of Savannah, Georgia are about to get a whole lot weirder. Follow Rob, Jamie and Kavitha through all their crazy shenanigans! THEM KIDS, THEY’S CRAZY.



Val the Red Beard by Robin Holstein - What if storm chasers could repel storms? Now replace those storm chasers with pirate like mercenaries piloting flying ships hired to protect those less fortunate to be caught on the ground, and have the storms actually created by large behemoth monsters that live inside them.



Oyster War - Hell on the half shell.

Heroes Con 2011 - Part 8

Three of the many (12) pieces of art that I purchased at Heroes Con...

Jack Tenrec & Hannah Dundee by Robbi Rodriguez - this was another pre-order; I sent the man my money and the names of the characters I wanted a month before the show but I didn't hear back from him; I was nervous about whether he had finished it because he hadn't posted it on his blog even though he had posted there a number of other commissions he had done; bottom line is he did a great job with it

Pirate Dreams by Robin Holstein - very impressive work by an artist with whom I was previously unfamiliar; I asked for something involving a female pirate and a djinn and left the rest up to him

Exterminators #6 p8 by Tony Moore (pencils) and Ande Parks (inks) - I ran across Tony Moore's table early in the show. He had a box full of pages for sale. I rumaged through them twice before settling on this one. I'm sure the guy standing behind me, waiting his turn, for approximately 10 minutes, didn't appreciate that. *shrug* I've wanted to own a Tony Moore piece probably since I first saw his work on Walking Dead. This is my kind of page: no action, it is more like a page of meaningful interaction.
