WOW I must say what an amazing event that
Zeus Comics,
Scott Kurtz , and
Hero Realm put together. I got there at around 10:15am and didn’t leave until around 4:15pm. Even Shauna got to come around 2pm with Sydney who sadly wasn’t in a great mood due to lack of a nap. It was just an amazing day of meeting some of the creators I admire and also meeting some new creators that I am now a fan of.
Let me just break it down by creator.
I was so excited to meet
Kazu Kibuishi I really enjoyed the first Flight Anthology and Daisy Cutter and he signed each of the issues of Daisy with a little head sketch, but I couldn’t scan those in but trust me when I say they are awesome.
Randy Millholland creator of
Something Positive , was really fun meet since Shauna and I have been reading his webcomic since it first was published. He also gave Shauna and I two awesome sketches.
Mine:
Shauna’s:
It was great to just talk to Robert Kirkman of a ton of Image and Marvel comics, Scott Kurtz of
PVP Online, and Jason Salsbury of
Pet Professional and say how much I have been enjoying their work.
Then I also got to meet Will Rodriguez of
Mangled Stare and Jonathan Caustrita of a new webcomic
Tiki Colada . They were really nice guys and I also got to videotape Will and Galan, a fanboard and mangled board regular who goes by KCWM, in a Chipotle burrito eating contest that I hope Will can post on his website once I get the movie to him.
Will did a great Elektra and the caption still makes me laugh:
Also even with three kids Will finds time to draw, I got this pic to prove how much he sometimes has to go through just to draw:
And Jonathan did a Bruce sketch wearing the Daredevil Costume:
Then I dropped by
Cal Slayton’s table and got an Elektra sketch, I am a big fan of his work and look forward to any new material he has coming out.
Then finally I got to meet Joe and Les of
Goathead Publications after hearing them on Fanboy Radio it was very cool to meet them. Les and I talked comics and Austin Books, the best comic shop in Austin, TX, and Joe drew me his version of Daredevil.
And at David Hopkins' table
Brock Rizy drew me a mind blowingly cool Emily Edison Sketch
Speaking of
Fanboy Radio and
David Hopkins it was really fun to listen to Scott interviewing people live over the loudspeaker and when he was interviewing David I got some good footage for my video profile of Karma Inc, more on that as we get it going, and Britta was so nice saying how beautiful Sydney was and their new dog is so adorable.
All in all CAPE! was amazing and I hope becomes an annual event, I left with a lot of sketches and free comics and I thought I would end my report with a picture of me reading my free copy of “Owly: Splashin’ Around” to Sydney, gotta start her early on this comic habit.
