Just a reminder, “Bamn” is featured in the today’s Gazette (Wednesday, January 28th, 2009). Rumor has it that it may also be in the Washington Post tomorrow...but don’t hold us to it. Just be pleasantly surprised if it happens.Thanks again to Jeremy Arias for seeking us out and convincing his editor to stick us in the paper. Thanks to Naomi (Sorry, we didn’t get your last name) for being patient with us while we were late taking pictures for the article.

It’s a good bet that you can get The Gazette at any metro station in Montgomery County, MD. You might have to search a little to find it in other areas.

I’m busy. Catch you next Wednesday.

Bamn in The Gazette

“Wednesday” is Latin for “Bamn Updates”:

-The big news is that Maryland’s Gazette conducted an interview with Dave, Jay, and I last week.
The article is actually going to focus on “Bamn” and the creation of the comic.
To say we were unprepared for this is an understatement.
Our interviewer, Jeremy Arias, bumped into artist David Dean at Alliance Comics. He was searching for a “local comic” story. David represented. It was that simple.
Expect the interview to appear in the Gazette on Wednesday, January 28th 2009.

-Meanwhile, DC Conspiracy is holding their annual “DC Counter Culture Festival” in Virginia. “Bamn” will be running a table there, complete with comics, buttons, and me smelling like booze. Everything is tentative right now, but we do know this:
It’s in May.
It will be held at The Soundry in Vienna, VA.
Admission is FREE

Details are coming.

Have a good week, people…

Bamn On The Road

I figured I'd share our short list of confirmed convention dates for 2009. It's only two locations, but we intend to do more before during the year.

As always, we will keep you informed:

The Small Press Expo - September 26th thru September 27th 2009

The Baltimore Comic Con - October 10th thru October 11th 2009

Bamn Updates!

Well, it's Wednesday. That means new comics have arrived at your local-area funny book shop. It also means it's time for some Bamn updates!

-A final version of #2's script had been edited. Jay has really hit his stride. He's gotten much more comfortable with inks and shading. The final version should be quite impressive. Look out for a 2-page spread that'll blow your mind (my idea, but Jay took it to another level).

- No word on the Dr. Dremo's War Anthology as of recent. I received some positive feedback from the editor, Evan Keeling, back in December. "Dark" and "different" were the exact words he used. The release date is still set for April.

- Speaking of the War comic, Specialist Sergio Estavia, the inspiration for our Dr. Dremo story, has gotten the writing bug. Check out his ongoing sci-fi story/blog at http://red3golf.blogspot.com/

- As an aside, I finally got Jay to read Grant Morrison's "All-Star SuperMan." We had a half-hour conversation about the 1st 6 issues. I think you may see some inspiration from Frank Quitely's.

- Seriously, if you haven't read Mark Millar's Fantastic Four trade, go get it. It's one of the best FF stories in a long time.

On that note, I'm off to catch "The Wrestler," "Notorious," and "Not Easily Broken." Expect reviews soon...
