Ryan Browne – The Creative Mind behind God Hates Astronauts & Bedlam

May 13th, 2013

sdcc

Ryan Browne is quickly becoming one of the hottest comic artists around. During the early stages of his career he knew that in order to make an impact in the comic industry, he had to take action- and that is exactly what Ryan did by creating his own comic, entirely from scratch, titled “God Hates Astronauts.”

I want to take the time to personally thank Ryan for fitting this interview into his busy schedule. Ryan mentioned that he just got done with the latest Bedlam issue before finding some spare time to answer these questions – So without further wait, here is a mini interview with Ryan Browne:

How did you get started in the comic industry? What advice can you give to someone looking for a way to get “their name” out there?

R: I got into the industry by doing a comic called “God Hates Astronauts”. I had spent years and years doing super hero portfolio pieces that would only briefly be considered by editors at Marvel and DC. I took me a long time to realize that if I wanted to work in comics, I needed to make comics—not waste my time on drawing five pages of Batman punching a criminal over and over.

So yeah, with God Hates Astronauts I handled everything down to the lettering and then I self published and put it online as a free web-comic.

After years of punching people in the face with my comic it finally found an audience which then lead to getting hired on books like Manhattan Projects and Bedlam. It also helped that the Kickstarter to God Hates Astronauts The Completely Complete Edition ended up being such success, but that really just worked out because I spent so long building my fan base with the web-comic.

2013 SDCC Exclusives – NECA Jason Vorhees NES Edition

May 13th, 2013

sdcc

The latest 2013 SDCC Exclusive to come out is from NECA.

Figures.com first broke the news and presented us with Jason Vorhees – NES Edition.

“Released in 1989 for the super popular 8-Bit home console, the video game Friday the 13th is so bad… it’s good. A cult classic if there ever was one, this retro title had you running around Camp Crystal Lake trying to survive, find and kill Jason Voorhees. While fighting off man-eating wolves, bats and zombies hadNOTHING to do with the Friday the 13th movies, the big payoff was encountering the murderous masked man himself. It is this video game version of Jason – in all his purple and blue 8-bit animated glory – that NECA is paying a homage to with their second 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive release.”

2013 C2E2 Review & Photos

May 10th, 2013

sdcc

The 2013 C2E2 took place in Chicago at McCormick Place on Friday April 26th till Sunday April 28th.

Every year C2E2 gets bigger and better. This year was no different. The entire weekend was full of exciting guests, great comics artwork, incredible panels and excellent cosplay.

C2E2 is the one convention I look forward to attending each year because the show is run flawlessly.

Just to give you guys a visual – THIS is how big the event was:

The first thing you notice when coming to McCormick Place is the GIANT C2E2 logo along with the bright red carpet. The event itself is HUGE – there is more than enough room for people to walk around comfortably through the aisles. There were only a few aisles that got congested – but overall traffic kept moving.

There were also many great panels throughout the weekend – Attendance was somewhat low on Friday but picked up by Saturday.
