Bill Frank, Drew Moss and The Crow: Pestilence

The cover above is by J. O’Barr for the new mini-series Crow: Pestilence by Frank Bill [writer] and Drew Moss [artist].  I love it when creators whose work I enjoy come together on a project.

I’ve been a J. O’Barr Crow fan since the character’s first appearance back in Caliber Presents.

Frank Bill burst on the crime fiction scene in a big way with his Crimes in Southern Indiana (book of short stories) and follow-up novel Donnybrook.  (I’ve read and recommend both!)

I met Drew Moss about a year ago and got two sketches from him.  Moss is a talented artist, and a funny guy.

I’m really looking forward to Crow: Pestilence and even more so after reading this CBR.com interview with Frank Bill.

 

Jason Latour is an Artist to Watch

Jason Latour was named one of 2014’s Artists to Watch.  That’s funny, not because Latour isn’t an artist everyone should keep an eye on, but rather because I’ve been a fan of his art for years.

Latour was recently the subject of an interview at Newsarama.  If you check out Latour‘s interview you’ll learn everything from his college days (and popular 4 Seats Left strip) to Latour‘s soon to be released mini-series Southern Bastards.  If you’re not already a Latour fan, you’ll at least have a better understanding why he made the Artist to Watch list.

The Absolute Worst Person From Each State

The Zodiac Killer.  Jim Jones.  Pretty Boy Floyd.  Timothy McVeigh.  Ted Bundy.  John Wilkes Boothe.  Jeffrey Dahmer.  Lee Harvey Oswald.  Charles Manson.

Do these names strike terror into your heart?

They probably should because each made the list.

What list, you ask?  Why, The Absolute Worst Person From Each State list.

I was relieved to see that not a single one of my friends made the list.

Which Big BangTheory Character Are You?

I’m certainly not bragging about being most like Howard Wolowitz.

He’s the character I got when I took Zimbio’s quiz, Which Big  Bang Theory Character Are You?  

I was surprised that I came out as Wolowitz.  Maybe I shouldn’t be though.  

I am fairly confident… probably a bit quirky too.  I definitely use humor and I do love my mama. [“Always be kind to your mother.”]

Maybe I shouldn’t have been surprised at all.

Which Musical Should You Star In?

I took Buzzfeed’s quiz, Which Musical Should You Star In?  The correct answer is the one without music.  

I can’t sing.

Let me rephrase that.  I can’t sing well.  As in no one would want to hear me sing in a musical or otherwise.

With that said, if I were to star in a musical, perhaps Chorus Line would be the one for me.  I am full of hope, earnestness, am enthusiastic and highly competitive.  I just can’t sing.
