I’m proud to present my first produced audio drama, Wormwood 2.14 “Jack Nicholson’s Nose” co-written by Dave Accampo. You’ll remember Dave from Fuzzy Typewriter season two. He’s the co-creator and executive producer of Wormwood, and it was great to collaborate with him on this episode. Really, really pleased with how the episode turned out. It features two of the series’ best and brightest performers Rob Grindlinger (Sheriff Tom Bradley) and Arthur Russell (Dr. Xander Crowe). And Dave did a top notch job editing the show. For some commentary on our creative process, check out this special edition podcast recorded during the series’ hiatus.
They’ve also recorded my script for episode 18, my first solo effort, which should be released in a few short weeks.

New column over at iFanboy.
On the heels of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. has announced plans to release more big budget superhero flicks in the coming years. And they’re ready to up the angst. What does this mean for Superman?

Convention Video
I put together a short video of Wizard World Philadelphia just to give a feel for what it looks like. I set up a Blip.TV channel, and it’s pretty intuitive. Expect some more FT video content in the future.
Note that a higher quality Quicktime version is also available.

New Column
The new column is up over at iFanboy. I decided to talk about my love of escape artistry and how it touches the world of comics at its core.
It’s called The Escape Arts.

Selling Out
Okay, not technically. But I did get a gig writing about comics and the like for iFanboy.com along with Jim Mroczkowski and Mike Romo. I’ll be contributing a weekly column every Tuesday. Read the announcement here.
I discovered iFanboy in 2006 when I decided to investigate that strange “podcast” icon in the iTunes store. I was gearing up for a tonsillectomy and I knew I wanted to pick up some graphic novels for my recovery (I was gonna do this thing right. Ice cream. Cartoons. Comics). I wanted some solid recommendations since I’d been out of the game for so long. After listening to their show for several weeks I felt confident in going to the shop and starting my own weekly ritual. I also started contributing to the forums. Fuzzy Typewriter would simply not exist without the support and connections from that community.
At the end of 2007 I made the trek up to New York for the recording of their 100th episode and after party. Then in April, I offered to help out at New York Comic Con as an official “intern”. This was a great opportunity to see the making of a video show involving some of the industry’s biggest names. I’m still processing the experience of meeting Stan Lee the creator of Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk. I was also able to pitch ideas for the sketch I appeared in later in the episode. A lot of work went into that show, but it was a great deal of fun too.
And now I have my own @iFanboy email address.
I’m thrilled to be writing for iFanboy, partly because I’m a fan first, staff writer second, but also…I get to wax poetic on Superman! Hellboy! Spider-Man! I’m taking this seriously, but let’s not lose the big picture, here. This is gonna be fun.

Popcorn Posters
Browsing through the aisles at Wizard World Philly today, I came across the Popcorn Posters booth and their gorgeous prints from old pulp magazine covers. They had an incredible collection of posters and prints from various genres. They had a great deal if you picked up three, so I grabbed a crime (above), a western, and an ace of fighter pilots cover. These photographs don’t do the colors any justice. They stand up to crazy scrutiny. Can’t wait to matte and frame these.
Hit the jump for the western and ace of fighter pilots prints.

Talking Comics Again
I recently took part in a comic-centric email interview with Hudson Phillips. My thoughts are assembled with those of comic commentators Josh Flanagan, Chris Neesman, Angela Paman, and Ron Richards. My first sentence is probably the most inarticulate thing I’ve ever come up with, but otherwise you’re in for some really thoughtful conjecture about the industry and fan community.
Hudson’s been compiling some very interesting panel discussions lately, and I really appreciate being asked to take part in this one.

JJ Abrams’ “Fringe” Trailer
from www.brightcove.tv posted with vodpod
Is this the next Lost? All signs–save maybe the writing credit–point to Yes. Even with a new Joss Whedon series looming on the horizon, this is my most anticipated show for next season. Not even Pacey can ruin this one. Right?
