86,400 Seconds To Shine

October 7th is the next 24 Hour Comics Day.

The challenge is simple: In a 24 hour period create a 24-page comic book. That's it. Check the link for more details.

This year... I might attempt it.

Yes, I'd like to participate, too. My local comic shop is listed as a participant.
It's going to depend on if I have employment. Plus, it's on a Saturday, when I have to take the wife to work just before 5am and pick her up around 1pm. So if I do participate, that's gonna take a chunk of time out of it.
Plus if you do it at one of the locations there's the having someone drive you home so you don't drive sleepy. I know you can do it anywhere, but participating where others are doing it (even for a little while) sounds fun, and there's the encouragement of your fellow artists.

I've been considering that group angle, too. The spot in PA (Wade's Comic Madness) is one back in the area we moved from in 2001, most of an hour from here, but even though it's generally 6 months or more between times I manage to stop in Wade still greets me by name. Theoretically I could go there and crash as necessary at my mom's place, which is less than 5 minutes away.

Realistically judging my illustration skills, though, I anticipate I'll be using my computer for too much of the process, and I won't want to try to load my tools onto my wife's laptop and also deprive her of that use for a day. None of that would address issues of printing and/or scanning.

So, at this stage I'm expecting to be doing it solo if I'm going to do it. That's 3 1/2 weeks away (and also happens to be the next Legends deadline, so I'll need to get that out of the way), so I'll make my decision about it once I'm close enough to that weekend to be reasonably sure it'll be clear.

Sounds cool, guys! Please let us know if you do it and if it was a much fun as it sounds like!

Hey! Look! It's the sick-o! ;D

(Glad to see you've made it back to the keys.)

As for 24 Hour Comics Day I'll have a much better idea of whether or not I'm going to be able to swing that... about three weeks from now. If I do it I'll scan and post the results.

At eBay! Just a note that Tony Collett has a an assortment of toys, action figures, comics and games coming down to their final minutes on ebay . (Sorry for forgetting to note this earlier, Tony. It seemed as if they'd just gone up and here we are near the end.) Also, Mike Leuszler's ebay store has an interesting mix of games, comics, prints, etc. I'll finally be putting some more items (probably only clix) up within the next day or two. Last week's power outage threw my schedule far off, and there were some complications due to me selling something large for someone else.

Bids & Pieces Email from eBay this morning informs me of price increases that will be going into effect starting midnight, February 18th. They currently hit sellers up for 5.25% of the closing value on items that sell between $.01 and $25, plus 3.75% for the portion between $25.01 and $1,000. The new rate will be a hefty jump to 8% on that base amount and a near doubling of the next level to 5%. There are other changes, but that’s the core set of changes I’m concerned with. This may be the extra fire I needed under me to get that long-overdue new round of auctions up and running soon. Heroclix items will be the focus, but I might also put up comics for the first time in several years, and perhaps some other things. Making the selections, doing some set-up between now and the 21st, and running a wall of auctions starting either that night or on the 22nd -- that's the loose plan. Updates and general self-promotion will increase as the kick-off date approaches and ...

Spider-man 3 succumbing to Batman/Superman syndrome? While I've yet to see this confirmed, FreezeDriedMovies is announcing three villains in for the next movie. We knew that James Franco, playing Harry Osborne, was going to be following in his father's footsteps and would be on the vengeance trail against Peter Parker/Spider-man. Moreover, given the personalities and the father/son dynamic in play most of us suspected Harry would change his father's costume and become Hobgoblin rather than try to become his father; his lack of self esteem, if nothing else, would have prevented that. Now we find out that Topher ( That 70s Show ) Grace is reportedly bulking up to be Venom, and Thomas Haden Church is set to be Sandman, both to debut in Spider-man 3 . I suppose I should say some versions of the characters, as odds are one or both will end up being catspaws that Harry's used Oscorp's facilities to bankroll. It's the tidiest way to cram three villains - two of who...
