Ok, I'm still going nutso over the Dark Knight trailer but there are a few other things to be excited about.

http://www.comicbrew.com/

Has just posted an interview I did with them.  Comicbrew is a pretty cool site that obviously caters to the comic fan but also throws in other geek fun like movies, games and TV.  They have also done interviews with fellow DWP alumni like Bob LeFever (IDW Transformers) and will be posting an interview I did with J.K. Woodward sometime in the near future.

The other item is JK and I are doing a signing at "The Comic Bug" in Manhattan Beach today from 5 to 8

That address is:

The Comic Bug

1807 Manhattan Beach Blvd

Manhatten Beach, CA 90266

 

To get off the whorish self hype Caught the last episode of "Dexter" and litteraly cheered when Lila got her just desserts.

Happy holidays!

Hello all just letting you know that in this busy holiday season there must be someone on your list that would like an comic book autographed by the writer and artist. Even if you can't think of one you should still have a few in case. To help you out with this I am doing a signing for my first full comic book "Crazy Mary - Trinity" at "THE COMIC BUG" in Manhattan beach. Both JK Woodward and I will be there shilling our work for a pittance.
As a lot of you know Crazy Mary is a action packed Cyberpunk comic about a female bounty hunter that might be out of her mind.
Trininty collects the first 3 stories that appeared to acclaim in Digital Webbing Presents and helps send the series off to a fully digital life through www.wowio.com so this is the last time for quite awhile you can get a real physical book version of Crazy Mary.

The siging is on Wed Dec 19th from 5 to 8 at the comic bug the comic bug address is:
1807 Manhattan Beach Blvd
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266
and their website is www.thecomicbug.com

Hope to see you all there and living outside of the country is no excuse!
Happy holidays!

MIKE

ZORTRON'S PRE-EMPTIVE DOOM LIST
2007


BEHOLD PUNY HUMANS I, THE MIGHTY ZORTRON DESTROYER OF WORLDS, WILL VISIT DOOM UPON YOUR PLANET!
I'M NOT SURE HOW JUST YET.  I WAS THINKING SOMETHING IN THE VEIN OF A GIANT PURPLE FORCE WAVE SCOURING THE WORLD CLEAN AND THEN MAKING THE PLANETARY CORE GO SUPERNOVA!
OR
SOMETHING INVOLVING WHIPPED CREAM!
Haven't decided yet…
REGUARDLESS, YOUR DOOM IS NIGH AND I WILL GET TO IT EVENTUALLY!
BUT…
THERE ARE THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE DESERVING OF DOOM SOONER THAN THE REST, THEREFORE I AM RELEASING MY PRE-EMPTIVE DOOM LIST!

BEHOLD!


ADAM LEVINE OF MAROON 5 – THIS ONE IS OBVIOUS TO MOST AND HOPED FOR BY JUST AS MANY!  HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY REASONS HIS DOOM WILL COME SOONER: 1 – BRINGING BACK DISCO.   2 – THE "LADIE'S MAN" IMAGE; JUST BECAUSE YOU SURROUND YOURSELF WITH HOT SUPERMODEL CHICKS IN THE VIDEOS DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE A STUD… YOU'VE PAID THEM TO LOOK INTERESTED IN YOU!  SHEESH!

DICK CHENEY OR, MORE PRECISELY, THE ALTARIAN CYBERNOID THAT REPLACED DICK CHENEY!  - THIS MAY NOT COME AS MUCH OF A SURPRISE TO MANY OF YOU BUT YES, DICK CHENEY IS A KILLER CYBORG FROM ANOTHER PLANET!  HE SHOOTS DEATH RAYS FROM HIS CHEST, I LIKE A CHALLENGE.

WEST, THE CHEERLEADERS BOYFRIEND, FROM HEROES – AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE HE'S KISSING UP ON CLAIR EITHER…  THE ONLY THING MORE AANOYING THAN AN EMO BOY IS AN EMO BOY ON TV.  HIS FAUX SMOLDERING INTENSITY MAY PLAY WELL WHEN SHOPPING FOR GIRLS JEANS AT "HOT TOPIC" BUT IT DON'T WORK ON SERIALIZED TELEVISION.  I'M SURPRISED HE DIDN'T INVITE CLAIRE TO CHECK OUT HIS DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL T-SHIRT COLLECTION. 

I WOULD HAVE ALANDRO OF THE DEATH TWINS ON THE LIST ALSO BUT SYLER BEAT ME TO HIM.

SOLJA BOY – I BETTER HURRY ON THIS ONE, COME ABOUT MARCH 2008 NO ONE WILL REMEMBER HIM!

MICHAEL BAY – BIG SURPRISE, RIGHT.  IT'S AMAZING HOW HE GET'S AWAY WITH IT!  IT'S NOT EVEN THE TYPICAL COMPLAINTS WITH HIS MOVIES; THE PAINT BY NUMBERS PLOT, THE A.D.D. INDUCING EDITING, THE OVERWHELMING FLASH OVER SUBSTANCE!  HEY, IT'S A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE ABOUT A TOY SERIES!  NO WHAT REALLY BOTHERS ME IS THAT WITH ALL THE MONEY AND RESOURCES AT HIS COMMAND HE STILL CAN'T STAGE A DECENT ACTION SEQUENCE!  BE HONEST, THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD EVEN TELL OPTIMUS PRIME OR BUMBLEBEE WERE IN A FIGHT IS BECAUSE THEY HAD SOME COLOR!  ANYTHING ELSE WAS A SPINNING PANNING TILTING SWOOPING MESS OF GUNMETAL GRAY AND DIRT!  I KNOW MOST OF THE TRANSFORMERS SOCIALLY THEY WERE VERY UNHAPPY, THEY WANTED WES ANDERSON!  SO NEXT TIME YOU MOAN ABOUT HOLLYWOOD RAPING YOUR CHILDHOOD DON'T BLAME MEGATRON.

PEOPLE WHO MOAN THE THEIR CHILDHOOD HAS BEEN RAPED BY HOLLYWOOD – THERE IS A KNIGHT RIDER TV MOVIE COMING OUT SOON.  SO HOLLYWOOD HAS OFFICIALLY MOVED TO DONKEY PUNCHING YOUR CHILDHOOD. 

MICHAEL VICK – FOR NOT HELPING HIS TEAM COVER THE SPREAD IN THAT GAME I HAD A $100 ON… WAIT, THERE WAS SOME OTHER REASON TOO?

COLBIE CAILLAT – ONE OF THE TOP 3 MOST ANNOYING SONGS OF 2007 AND CONTENDER FOR TOP 10 OF ALL TIME "BUBBLY" WILL BE USED BY JACK BAUER FOR HIS INTERROGATIONS IN THE NEXT SEASON OF 24.

JACK
(YELLING)
TELL ME WHERE THE BOMB/MICROCHIP/KIDNAPPER/PLOT DEVICE IS!

The terrorist remains silent.  Jack gets right in Akbar's face, glowering.

JACK
Just so you know you brought this on yourself.

Jack puts in earplugs and fires up an Ipod, it's playing "Bubbly" from Colbie Caillat.  Akbar winces in pain.  Jack watches stone faced as the terrorist starts to bleed out of his ears by the second verse.

JACK'S SIDE-KICK WHO WILL BE DEAD OR BETRAY JACK BY HOUR 13
Jesus Jack he's going into saccharine shock!  Stop!

PEOPLE WITH VANITY PLATES – HAVING "1QTJETTA" ON THE ASS END OF YOUR CAR IS NOT WHIMSICAL, IT ANGERS ZORTRON! (BOLTS OF COSMIC ENERGY SHOOT OUT OF MY EYES VAPORIZING YOU AND YOUR QT JETTA)

THE RELIGIOUS GROUPS THAT ARE PROTESTING "THE GOLDEN COMPASS" – SINCE IT WORKED SO WELL FOR HARRY POTTER!  THE BRITTLE, REACTIONARY FORCES OF "THE TRUTH" ARE GOING AFTER IMAGINATION ONCE AGAIN!  THEY CLAIM THAT THE STORIES ARE DESIGNED TO INDOCTRINATE KIDS INTO ATHESIM.  DOES IT BOTHER THESE PEOPLE THAT THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM IS SO FRAGILE THAT A CGI POLAR BEAR CAN SHATTER IT OR ARE THEY UPSET THAT ATHEISTS ARE STEALING THEIR TRICKS!  TALK ABOUT INDOCTRINATING KIDS!  GOD HAS EVERYTHING FROM "VEGGIE TALES" TO NOAH'S ARK COLORING BOOKS!  NO ONE BUT RICHARD DAWKINS SCREAMS ABOUT "BIBLE STORIES FOR CHILDREN" BEING AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL COSTCO! 
GET OVER IT!
HERE IS THE FUN PART: MOST ADMIT THAT THE MOVIE WILL BE WATERED DOWN BUT THAT KIDS WILL WANT TO READ THE BOOKS AND BECOME INSTANT ATHEISTS.  THIS LOGIC HAS FLAWS: 1 – IT'S LIKE GETTING ANGRY AT A BIG MAC BECAUSE IT MAKES THE KIDS WANT A WHOPPER.  2 – AFTER HARRY POTTER, KIDS WON'T READ BOOKS ANYWAY.  WHAT THEY SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR IS "THE GOLDEN COMPASS" VIDEOGAME ON Wii.

TIA TEQUILA – FOR SOMEHOW MAKING AN MTV DATING SHOW EVEN MORE ANNOYING AND VAPID THAN USUAL.

MASTER CHIEF – HE WON'T EVEN RETURN MY PHONE CALLS!  REMEMBER WHEN WE SHARED THAT STUDIO APARTMENT IN THE KILL'O FIEND SLUMS OF MARTOAC PRIME?  REMEMBER WE VOWED TO EACH OTHER THAT WHEN ONE OF US MADE IT WE'D HELP THE OTHER GET OUR FOOT IN THE DOOR?  WELL I GOT SOME DIRT ON YOU MISTER BAD-ASS SPARTAN!  LET'S SEE HOW THE MEDIA WILL REACT TO THAT "ART FILM" YOU MADE BACK THEN!  YES, THE LINGERING KISS YOU HAD WITH HITMAN IS STILL IN THERE.

THERE IS THE LIST, CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED IF YOU ARE ON IT!  WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT BAM! COSMIC BEAMS SHOT OUT OF MY EYES WILL VAPORIZE YOU AND ALL THAT WILL REMAIN IS A BAD MEMORY AND THE FAINT SMELL OF OZONE!

AS FOR THE REST OF YOU, YOUR DOOM IS STILL NIGH!  I PROMISE!  TILL THEN HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I HAVE SPOKEN!

"DOOM" THE FRAGRANCE IS AVAILABLE AT WALMART.
ALSO READ ZORTORN'S BUSINESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BOOK:  "THEIR DOOM IS NIGH! – THE APPLICATION OF SHEER TERROR AND GODLIKE COSMIC POWER IN EVERYDAY BUSINESS" AVAILABLE FROM PYRE BOOKS.

Just on a lighter note yesterday at work was the weirdest day I've ever had in the business I work in.
This is saying a lot because I work as a set electrician in the motion picture biz and weird things cross my step everyday, like Bill Bellamy line dancing to "Cat scratch Fever" while John Doe from X watches or John Rhys Davies (Sallah from Indiana Jones) plays bagpipes by the batcave at midnight.

Yesterday topped all that.

I work on "My Name is Earl" we are on season 3 and by far it has been the best situation for me everybody is funny and cool and the shows are a laugh.  The episode we just shot was called "Creative Writing" it's the 3rd shot but will air in a later order.  Each of the main characters gets a fantasy sequence, Darnell has an R&B song about cooking crabs, Catalina has a telenovela fantasy called "Lady of a thousand tears" and Randy has a superhero fantasy.
This is where it gets weird (est).  Randy is a super hero, his sidekick is H.R. Puffinstuff and he has an orangutan named "Richard" who drives and El Camino.  They rescue Earl and Catalina from the evil clutches of Mr. Horn (the unicorn boy from season two circus freak episode) and a host ninja.

Yes, HR Puffinstuff fights ninja!

The guy who played HR in the show is still doing it so it was the original HR!  Marty Krofft was there too!  A very nice down to earth guy, who insisted I call him Marty, assured me that the big movie version of "Land of the Lost" will, and I quote, "make the fans very happy".  He also said John C. Reiley was in line to do the movie.

So now I can say the weirdest thing I've seen at work is HR Puffinstuff fighting ninja in the Crab Shack with Jason Lee.

I have no idea on how this can be topped.

one last thing also, the collective I work with "Supermassive" has just opened it's website.  We should have some of the webcomic I write "Monsters with Beverages" up among other things.  IF you get a chance check it out and let me know what you think

www.supermassivestudio.com

It's still bare bones but you'll enjoy it.

The new Crazy Mary story hits stores today with less fanfare than a new David Spade sitcom. It's in DIGITAL WEBBING PRESENTS # 33 and has FIST OF JUSTICE on the cover. If your comic book store doesn't carry it (and judging from the numbers it probably doesn't) you can get this amazing kick ass story at    www.digitalwebbing.com  or just wait till November... but you shouldn't!

A brief update on a few things...

1 - As I've noted before the new Crazy Mary story "Chase" will be appearing in DIGITAL WEBBING PRESENTS" #33 hitting stores in Late April/or early May.  The first full length will be called "TRINITY" and will be showing up in stores come late Aug followed by another stand alone story tenitivly titled "Waiting to Explode" but frankly, I need a better title (this is a good thing; I know I have a good story when I can't think of a good name... weird but true) I'm open to suggestions.  The story is about Mary receiving a message from someone trapped in a building controled by a group of religious fanatics hell bent on blowing it to high heavens.  Mary mounts a rescue and what she finds, well... it's nothing like anything she expected.

I am debuting in the Marvel comic "Mythos: Beast" this fall.  I modeled as a jock for J.K. Woodward's illustrations.

 

This is the first time I've ever been a jock, honest.

 

We wrapped principal photography on "My name is Earl" last week and at this point we are close to completely wrapping the stage.  Don't worry, there is a season 3 for Earl.  I mean we did leave it with a cliff hanger...

Next up is a pilot called "The News" directed by Earl producer and regular director Mark Buckland.

HEROES won't be back on till April 23rd!

DAMN!

 DAMN!

  DAMN!

Does anyone else feel like 24 is getting redundant?

300 was exhilarating and was pure magic to look at!  I'm sure there are plenty of homoerotic jokes floating around, there are more oiled and cut men than even Dan Savage's wildest fantasy but JESUS!  For pure viceral action this one will be hard to beat.

"Year Zero" is coming out soon so this is worth checking out : www.iamtryingtobelieve.com

I can feel the paranoia fueled guitars screaming like a swarm of pissed off hornets in my gut already.

That's it for now.
