Jason Rodriguez's Coast-to-Coast Comicdom Extravaganza
My friend and fellow comic book creator Jason Rodriguez (editor of the Eisner-nominated Postcards: True Stories That Never Happened) drove cross-country from Arlington, VA to San Diego for this year's Comic-Con International. By my reckoning, he spent approximately $73,854 in gas on that little jaunt!

So I know he'd appreciate it if you'd be so kind as to check out his witty and insightful travelogue, in which he shares some of the experiences he had getting to meet and hang out and drink to excess with creators and comic enthusiasts around the country -- including, naturally, your and my favorite up-and-coming writer, Elton Pruitt!

Click on over to the DCist site at dcist.com/tags/comicdom and check it out Jason Rodriguez's Coast-to-Coast Comicdom Extravaganza. You'll be glad you did!

Pruitt's latest story in NEGATIVE BURN #21

If your comic shop carries Desperado Publishing's acclaimed anthology, NEGATIVE BURN, I hope you'll check out issue 21 which hit the stands last week. It features a couple of stories by my friend and excellent writer Caleb Monroe, and also contains the touching tale of "Frog-Boy," written by me and illustrated by the brilliant Renzo Podesta.

Here's the cover to look for:



And here's the first page to whet your appetite:

NEW @ SCRYPTIC STUDIOS: Agony, Ecstasy, Deadlines & Super-Heroines!
This week at Scryptic Studios (the #1 site for aspiring comic book writers):

Making Good
We've all faced them before and most of us will face them again. Some of us love them, some of us hate them, and some of us are eternally torn. But one thing's for certain: anyone planning on being a writer (especially a comics writer) is going to face a career full of them.

They're DEADLINES. As in, "Cross this line and you're dead."

Discover "The Agony and Ecstasy of Deadlines" in this all-new, all-different installment of Caleb Monroe's Making Good!

Running Up That Hill
Are you one of the 5,000+ people who entered the Shadowline Who Wants to Create a Super-Heroine Contest and didn't make the Top 10?

Elton Pruitt (aka the Ecto) is, and he's here with the perfect cure for what ails you: a completely sincere little pep talk.

Delight in his failure to crack the Top 10 – and hopefully even get a little inspired yourself – by reading “Shiny Happy Column,” this week in Running Up That Hill.

NEW @ SCRYPTIC STUDIOS: The Courtship of an Artist
Artists: without them, we’re merely delusional dreamers.

Learn all the Ecto has learned – and hopefully a lot more – in “The Courtship of an Artist,” this week in Running Up That Hill.
