I love this series of videos which explains how things work. Engineers have created amazing tools with some very clever designs to simplify very complex processes.

Aquila is Coming
Strip Magazine in the UK, which is reprinting the Age of Heroes in color is relaunching their book for the news stands in June and in that relaunched issue my first new character in over a decade will have his debut.
Aquila is a Roman Scout in the year zero AD. He is tasked with finding out whats going on in the fringes of the Empire. And what he finds is usually disturbing. Here’s a panel from the upcoming story.
The story will be released digitally later as a stand alone issue with additional material.
REVIEW: The Avengers
Awesome. One of the best superhero movies yet and it captures the spirit of early Marvel and marries it to modern sensibilities. Best fight scenes yet. This will disappoint very few fans of comics. Joss Whedon does a great job of giving each hero enough time to come off as a full fledged character and it ties in nicely with the earlier Marvel films. Nuff said.
Hudcast #3: Outsiders in Comics
Tonight I share a 2 hour interview I did with comics artist Bosch Fawstin about his comic The Infidel, what it’s like to be an outsider in comics. We discuss Islam, President Obama, comics and a host of other subjects. This is sure to cause some controversy. Let listeners beware, neither of us pull any punches. My own view of Islam is more complex than Bosch’s but this is his interview and I let him talk. He has many interesting things to say.

I just completed a two hour interview with Bosch Fawstin for my podcast. It went great. We talked about his comics the Infidel and Table for One. We also talked about being comics outsiders and what that’s like. Also did much talking about Islam and a little about President Obama, which will upset some people most likely. Look for part one tomorrow evening and part two on Saturday.
