Well, that's one hazard of being a "public figure". I don't care how good you are at what you're doing, there will be someone who doesn't like it and will make scathing comments about it.

Actually, I think it's way too early for any negative comments at all. Two comics isn't even enough to see where the comic is going or how it's going to be handled.

True... Rom added a major twist to the first arch that even I did not expect!

In other news the script to issue one of the second Lethal arch is done (it just needs some polish).  I'll finish the series when I get back from SDCC!

On a side note, I have to say, it was quite cool to pick up issue #2 last Saturday and flip open the cover and see your name and Rom's name on the inside cover.  I told the owner of the comic book shop that I talked to both of you on-line and that Rom lived in Brazil, too cool.

Wow! Cool!

That's so cool!  Thank you so much!  Another highlight of the day!

On the downside I still can't get a copy of #2 anywhere!  Oy!!!  No justice!

ROM, I noticed that all you ALIAS guys print in Korea.....any chance you know the name or the website for the printer ?  We'd love to go color but when I searched the web for korean printers I got like 10,000 hits...

let me know if you can
thanks

ROM...

here's EXACTLY what I'm talking about

found this review today of our NIGHT #2

"The art looks as though the artist, Buddy Prince, learned to draw from Image comics. It's over-rendered, cluttered, and flat, demonstrating a lack of perspective. Characters have two expressions: gritting their teeth or letting their mouths hang open as though ready for their dental checkup.

The art was so unpleasant I didn't even bother with the story. "

Explain to me HOW in the world somebody can post a accurate review on a proffessional web page ( name witheld because I'm a nice guy)   but NOT BOTHER WITH THE STORY

it appears to me that if you are a comic book reviewer that IS'NT IT YOUR JOB TO BOTHER WITH THE STORY !!  NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU THINK THE ART IS...

YOU CAN'T REVIEW ANYTHING WITHOUT TAKING THE ENTIRE WHOLE IN...It just makes me wonder how qualified these jokers THINK they are

so anyway...just showing you I can relate

I've seen it in just about every comic I've read. I keep seeing people cut the art in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Frankly, I like the art. It is certainly "primitive" but so was Gran'ma Moses and Piccasso. The art is very well adapted to convey the "feeling" of the storyline. In fact, the other versions of TMNT have never seems quite right to me.

Hell, I'd treat it as a compliment if anyone ever said I looked like I learned to draw from Image comics. I remember from my middle/high school days, Image was all into drawing things in a much darker theme, with very precise, detailed inkwork and insane shading techniques. Marvel and DC were still doing bright, poppy comics with rainbow pallettes until hopping on Image's bandwagon a few years later.

But then again, I've never really liked "superhero" comics. I love demented irony and twisted anti-heroes instead.

Hi Jester ... Is true, always will have bad comments about creations ... but it´s ok now ... I didn´t have the chance to read your comic, I will try to get some copy . take care. Rom

Thanks for the words Busboy .

Hi Ninja ... I see that you are a big fan of TMNT, hehehe. Great .

Ninja, they're still putting out Tales. I subscribe to it, in fcat. and the mirage Turtles is the original version. Laird and Eastman were the originators. Of course, that was back in.....ooooooh.....okay, I'm not going there.

One of my favorite comics of all time was Cerebus the Aardvark and one of the things that I liked about it was seeing it evolve from a "poorly drawn" Conan spoof to an incredibly well drawn, very deep adult comic.
