The Dull Boy Times

If you could get into a fight with anybody and know that you would win, and would suffer zero consequences from the fight, WHO WOULD YOU FIGHT?

This is an incredibly difficult question to answer.

I’m a pretty average, 6’ tall (not a hair over) nerd with absolutely no grace or coordination - not to mention sluggish, lazy, and completely without stamina.

Therefore, I would box Dolph Lundgren circa ROCKY IV just for the sheer spectacle of it. And I’d do it wearing Apollo Creed’s trunks.

THIS IS REALLY COOL

I’m super happy to say that I’m lettering this super-cool comic from BOOM! Studios… ROBOCOP: LAST STAND.

How freaking awesome is that?

There’s an amazing creative team on this book: written by Steven Grant, art by Korkut Öztekin, and covers by Declan Shalvey. Oh, and it’s based on a story by Frank Miller!

Awesome.

“I’ve been less than honest about what I’ve really been up to lately. For the last year I’ve been secretly working non-stop with Atticus Ross and Alan Moulder on a new, full-length Nine Inch Nails record, which I am happy to say is finished and frankly fucking great. This is the real impetus and motivation behind the decision to assemble a new band and tour again. My forays into film, HTDA and other projects really stimulated me creatively and I decided to focus that energy on taking Nine Inch Nails to a new place. Here we go!”

Here’s a great article from writer Cullen Bunn, with various comic creators sounding off on what they wished they had known when they were working hard at breaking into comics.

Really inspiring—and useful—read. Check it out.

And thanks to my table-mate, friend, and amazing collaborator Vic Malhotra for another great weekend.
