I Was a Teenage Zombie Cowboy Media Whore
Decapitated Gunbreed Review
From the Tomb, the online magazine has a Gunbreed review by Decapitated Dan. Judging by the review, RBA comics are off for a pretty good start. Read it here.
RBA in Primera Hora
RBA appeared in one of Puerto Rico Major News Papers, Primera Hora as part of the promotion campaign for Manga Criolla convention in Caguas, Puerto Rico. They even put the cover to Leviathans #2 by Ana Bruno. If you know Spanish, check out the column here.
RBA in El Nuevo Dia
Radio Interviews Galore
Dreamgrafix artist Juan Lapaix and I were interviewed by two local PR radio shows: Agenda de Hoy and Piedra Papel y Tijera. We talked a little about the history of comics in Puerto Rico, and gave an overview on the current puertorrican comics scene. Of course, I promoted RBA's titles as well as the website. Both radio air through 89.7 FM for San Juan and 88.3 FM for Mayaguez.
Leviathans Never Ends
Here's a page from an upcoming Leviathans story by Josue Oquendo. Can't wait to see it colored? Me neither.

APE Complete with Guillermo Martinez!
Guillermo Martinez takes San Francisco!
One of the things that never stops to amaze me is that every time I work on a project with Guillermo Martinez I never know how the project will actually look until it's done. With all other artists I can generally imagine what they'll do with my scripts, but not with him. Case in point: When Guillermo told me he would draw himself and me in the cover to You Complete Me, I thought we'd scare people away. But he made us look so adorable! My point is that because of Guillermo's different view of the world, he lets me cut loose and experiment with the stories I give him. Guillermo's mind is something else. Sometimes I wonder if he hit his head with a rock when he was a kid.
Guillermo's first convention is Alternative Press Expo (APE) in San Francisco and we couldn't be more proud of him. Enjoy the pics.
Guillermo Martinez would like you to know that You Complete Me is not for young readers. Even though many girls may like the cute cover and pretty pictures, the topics explored are adult themes. The comic IS mostly written by Angel Fuentes after all. However, the artist promises he will attend WonderCon next year with a product for all ages (not written by Angel Fuentes).
The secret is in the sock. No, really.
Look at that pretty banner printed by Efrain Morales!
Is that Monster Child artist Yamil Medina? Why Yes it is!
"You want some of this, bitch?"

We like Ponce and Ponce likes RBA!
Greetings, minions!
Greetings, minions!
Sorry I skipped a week of the blog, but things just got a little crazy around here. I'm back now, with a special report on this year's Ponce ComiCon. We had a lot of fun and by we, I mean Rikky, Daniel, and Wilfredo. We debuted our new comic You Complete Me and it sold out! We also had a lot of buyers for Gunbreed and our other titles. It's good to meet new folks as we try to expand our empire- I mean readership, to the south part of Puerto Rico.
We also met with other fellow comic makers. Big shout out to the guys at Xpin Off, Artifice, and Crazy Comics (that last one was a true blast from the past!). We're definitely coming back next year for more.
This lovely young lady right here is cover artist Ericka Lugo. We've been talking by e-mail for more than a year but this is the first time we actually met in person. Here's a sample of her work for Violet Descends:
Stay tuned for a report and pics on San Francisco's APE convention, with Guillermo Martinez.

Been a Busy Week
RBA Goes to Press
This has been a truly busy week . We're going to press on four comics at the same time. As promised, you should get more info on on the official release date on all the new comics by the end of next week.
Running around doing quality control and making sure the artists come through with the final touches is stressful. But in the end, it's all worth it when you get those comics in your hands.
Case in point:
This is the Cover to You Complete Me
That's me with an eye patch and artist Guillermo Martinez with the umbrella. Look for it at the Alternative Press Expo (APE) on October 17-18 in San Francisco.

The art on this piece was done by Ozzy Fernandez with colors by Cari Corene. Not much to say on this baby, except that you should see the comic next year.
I'm cutting it short this week. I got a lot of work ahead of me.
See you guys next week.

Even More Leviathans! ... And a Little Secret... Shhh!
Ivonne Falcon and Christian Alvarado: Leviathans WIP!
This is the alternate cover to upcoming Leviathans issue #2 by Ivonne Falcon and Christian Alvarado. It's almost finished, but I couldn't help myself. I had to show you guys. Don't say I don't spoil you. We are very, very close to announcing release date on this baby, and the Belly of the Beast oneshot special. I promise you it'll all be out before the end of the year.
Angel's 2009 TV Fall Line-up
I love my TV shows, people. And this year seems to be very promising and entertaining. So without further ado, and because you didn't really ask for it, here's my must watch TV shows list for this season.
Mondays: Heroes (NBC) at 8pm, Lie to Me (FOX) at 9pm
Tuesday: Nothing! There's nothing interesting for e on Tuesdays! Really...
Wednesday: Law and Order SVU (NBC) at 9pm, South Park (Comedy Central) at 10pm
Thursday: Flash Forward (ABC) 8pm, Fringe (FOX) 9pm, The Office (9pm). That last one is through the magic of Hulu.com
Fridays: Law and Order (NBC) 9pm
Saturdays: Saturday Night Live (NBC) 11:30pm (Not really "must see". Just when I'm bored.)
Sundays: The Simpsons (FOX) 8pm, The Cleveland Show (FOX) 8:30pm (still iffy on that one), Family Guy (FOX) 9pm, and American Dad (FOX) 9:30pm
As always, I like to watch the Daily Show, and Colbert Report at Comedy Central, and sometimes I'll check Conan, and Jimmy Fallon.
OK, that's it. My life is boring. And before you ask, I can't watch any of the HBO or Showtime shows 'cause it's too expensive. Guess I'll rent those or check them out on Youtube.
Shhhh! Top Secret!
Can you hear it? That's the sound of his Harley! He's coming!
Hide your daughters! Break out the beers!
Timothy Santo's Biker Dwarf is coming... in 2010!
Biker Dwarf concept art by Wilfredo Lopez and Timothy Santos.
C-Ya next week!
