Adrastus – What happens when your family’s skeleton in the closet is a giant robot, by Liz Staley. What you need to know about Liz is that she is absolutely awesome. Passionate about her work, her characters, and the source material from which the story is drawn. This enthusiasm comes through loud as day in every interview I have heard …
I was interviewed last week by the wonderful mind behind Neatorific, Jacques Nyemb. We discussed where the LeyLines language comes from, the difficulties of writing a realistic fantasy story, and whether art should be compromised for the sake of commerce. I had such a blast chatting with him! Jacques has some amazing plans for Neatorific in the future! I’m really …
Now that I’ve had a little time to recover (and sleep, oh yes wonderful sleep) I thought I’d do a little write-up of my first 24 Comic Day experience! The event I attended was at Time Warp Comics in Boulder, Colorado. By far, this is one of the nicest shops I’ve ever been in. Well lit, great layout, with people …
The 24 hour comic day is coming up on October 1st, and I will be facing the challenge at Time Warp Comics at 3105 28th Street Boulder, CO 80301. The story I’ll be creating is called “Rakaro and the Tail of Fire”. It’s an ancient legend from the LeyLines universe, featuring many of the old gods. It should be about …
Anybody who’s read the article by Comics Alliance editor Laura Hudson called The Big Sexy Problem with Superheroines and Their ‘Liberated Sexuality’” has learned that controversy over DC’s reboot is brewing.

My thanks to the Canary Crew for their fantastic work, and for the great article! Digg this post Recommend on Facebook share via Reddit …
A discussion with the amazing and talented Noel Arthur Heimpel of Ignition Zero got me wondering — what got you hooked on comics? For me, I started reading comics when I was a tiny kid and discovered my Uncle’s old stash of comics at my grandma’s house. Mostly Spider-man and Fantastic Four, but it had me hooked (and got me …
Okay, comic is up, moody melancholic commentary provided, and I had a blog post topic that I COMPLETELY can’t remember anymore…So I guess I’ll talk a bit more about this page instead. I realize the comments are pretty vague, and most of that is because I didn’t want to give away too much of Pakku’s backstory by relating my own. …
Gah! I just realized it’s Friday. I’ve been working extra time this week and actually lost track of what day in the week it was. I’m at work right now, but I’ll be going home on my lunch hour and updating the comic then. SORRY FOR THE DELAY, FOLKS!! Comic will be up in about 3-4 hours! Digg this post …
Ken Drab of the Webcomic Alliance was kind enough to apply his marketing know-how to my LeyLines Banners. He’s given me a lot to think about, and I’m still mulling over exactly what I want to do with the new info. As readers of LeyLines, I’d be really interested in your take. What do you think of Ken’s changes? Better …
