Hey everyone! Actual Kickstarter update this week! We go live on July 14! That’s less than a month from now! I need people to spread the word. And the word is, “Panic.” Ha! Little comic book movie reference there for the sharp-eyed readers in the audience. At any
Exciting news: we have a (new) official launch date for the WAYPOINT Kickstarter! Mark July 14 on your calendars. Every early backer counts. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waypointcomic/waypoint-1-4/ The Decibel cover story I wrote about last week got announced! If you want to learn about the

I watched the season three finale of The Strain last night and I’m still really angry about it. I know, it’s very relevant to have strong feelings on a mostly-forgotten four season show on FX from 10 years ago. But this is my newsletter. I’m going

There is no “I” in team, but there are two in “idiot.” Which is something I definitely feel like sometimes. Putting together the Kickstarter for WAYPOINT has turned from a simple operation by my editor Dane Styler and myself into a complex one involving the fine folks at PRANA Direct
Las Vegas once more hosted the Grandest Stage of Them All this past weekend; World Wrestling Entertainment’s flagship event, the Showcase of the Immortals, a seven-and-a-half-hour event celebrating the biggest names in sports entertainment. Frankly, Wrestlemania 42 disappointed. Day Two was solid overall, Day One
Brain Dead Studios here in Los Angeles put on an event called Fantasy Fest this past weekend, which was kind of a catchall that featured fantasy movie screenings, gaming/comics vendors, war games, Magic: The Gathering tournaments, and live bands. The main draw for me was a performance by one
Remember to follow my Kickstarter page! Every bit helps. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waypointcomic/waypoint-1-4 This past week was an eventful one. I want to talk about two of the events I attended, and how they’re completely different but come from a very similar artistic place.
Don't forget to follow WAYPOINT on Kickstarter. The more folks I have following before launch, the better a position it'll have on Kickstarter's homepage when it goes live. Let's game that algorithm! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waypointcomic/waypoint-1-4 Passover
