COMIC-CON REVIEW!

Hey Kids,

Comic-Con 2010 is over and here's my report...

1) Exhausted

2) Annoyed with the massive crowds

3) Had a blast at the late night parties even though Maria Kanellis wouldn't wrestle me on PetCo Park's field...It was close though

4) New BB WOLF book and CD sold very well

5) BB Wolf was picked by USA Today as one of four books to get at the con! Found that out Wednesday before the show...That kind of kicked ass!

6) 3 Geeks fans were also pleased with new Zombies vs Cheerleaders book (as was I)

7) Lost voice sometime around noon on Friday, feet gave out sometime later that night

8) As of today (Thursday July 29) still not recovered

And there you have it. It was exhausting, inspiring, defeating, uplifting, aggravating, rewarding all wrapped up in one long and loud pop-culture atom bomb! See you all again next year with better shoes and plenty of Advil!

And in other news!... I've been deluging you all lately with "New Product" updates!...well, here we go again! FINALLY, after nearly 3 years of being out-of-print the new edition of my award-winning book, THREE FINGERS, is finally here! It arrived just in time for Comic-Con and has a spankin' new cover design and a spiffy new size that much easier to handle. I am so pleased to have this book in print again as fans have been asking for a long time for copies I just didn't have. So I've got the new edition posted on the website at $14.95 with free shipping and, as always, I'll happily sign it before sending it out.

ZOMBIES VS CHEERLEADERS/THE 3 GEEKS

Well it's just been a couple days since I announced (with much glee) that I had a ton of new books to pimp...and whattaya know?...I just got another big box of all new goodies! The much anticipated 3 Geeks story in "Zombies VS Cheerleaders" by Moonstone and 5Finity is here! An awesome full-color comic featuring The 3 Geeks as the first 12 page story and two additional stories by some very talented chaps. A ton of fun all for $3.99. I also did the cover--cover "A" anyway...there are 4 different alternate covers as well and they all kick zombie ass!

So, to summarize...BB Wolf and the Three LPs graphic novel, BB Wolf & The Howlers cd, BB Shot glasses and coasters and limited edition box set hit this week...

As well as three new editions with new cover art of three 3 Geeks TPBs (say that three times fast)....

And now the Zombies vs Cheerleaders comic book!

And all in time for Comic-Con International in sunny San Diego! Talk about fortuitous timing, eh?

So if you get to Comic-Con stop by and see me in Artists Alley or at the Top Shelf booth. And if you aren't going to be at Comic-Con feel free to buy this stuff on my website (conveniently just a few hits of a few buttons away--cuz I care).

NEW BOOKS NEW BOOKS NEW BOOKS!!!

Have you guessed that I might have some "new books"??? Yes, that is correct. Not only do I now have the long-awaited BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS graphic novel but I also have the BB WOLF & THE HOWLERS cd soundtrack and the BB WOLF book/cd set for sale on the website!

I ALSO have finally gotten new editions of THE 3 GEEKS trade paperbacks that have been out of print for the past couple years. I've also rebooted the cover art (I have to post the new covers...haven't done that yet...tooo tired) which looks very sweet. So go find these new items on the website and go nuts ordering your copies.

I'll also be at Comic-Con in a few days folks so please stop by and visit me in Artists Alley. By then I should also have the new THREE FINGERS edition which has also been out of print for the past 2+ years. Lots of new books and tons of new art!

And OH OH OH!!!....I'll also have the ZOMBIES VS CHEERLEADERS comic which features an all new full color 3 GEEKS story! That'll be up on the site soon too. Been a busy, busy boy....

BB WOLF Finally hits stores and KISS!!

Hey kids,

Yes, it has finally arrived! The much-ballyhooed and, so far, very well reviewed, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS has finally landed at the local comic shops and finer books stores throughout the land. After many, MANY years of waiting it is here.

SO go out and buy the damn thing.

Thanks.

Okay, quick reminder to anyone in the area, we are having a HUGE book release party at JD's (the writer) shop this Saturday, July 10th. Comicopolis in downtown Santa Cruz, 829 Front Street, 95060. 831-427-1929. the party goes from 4pm until 8pm (officially. Then the drinking starts!). There will be food, drinks, prizes, and me and JD signing our books! Light, yet compelling banter is also included and FREE!

ALSO! We will be premiering the BB WOLF & THE HOWLERS cd! Yessir!

And on that note I ask a favor from all of you dear readers...my brother-in-law, Pauly Karcz, was instrumental in our getting the cd done. He let us use his recording studio and mixed and engineered all the tracks...we put in a ton of hours in a week shaping the disc and it turned out fantastic. Pauly's award-winning metal band, Spiral Trance, is also on the disc covering the BB tune, Freight Train!

The favor I ask is that you go to the following link and vote for Spiral Trance for a contest where they might get picked to play with legendary rock group, KISS! It's simple, takes less than a minute, and you are under NO obligation to buy anything...trust me! The band is awesome and truly deserves the chance to play alongside KISS.

Here's the link... http://eventful.com/competitions/kiss2010/milwaukee

And we want them picked for the Milwaukee show so where they ask you for a zip code please use a Milwaukee zip like, 53201, or 53202.

I AM A FRIGGIN" ROCK STAR!!!

Check another item off in my Bucket List! Yes, whew...It is true, folks...I am now an officially recorded Rock Freaking Star!!! Bring on the motherluvvin' groupies (only ladies please)!!! Okay, okay...catch your breath...I know that you are all very excited reading this and are probably needing a moment to gather yourselves and some of you may have even fainted from the sheer magnitude of this awesomeness. But it is understandable.

It is also very true, by CROM!!! Yes! The week of June 8th thru the 13th we recorded the official BB WOLF & THE 3 LPS soundtrack back in Milwaukee at my bro-in-law's studio! And I can honestly say it is one of the top three coolest experiences I have ever participated in. The other two I only share with those closest to me...sorry. But anyway, leading up to the actual recording I was very nervous we'd be able to pull this whole thing off. I had three vintage BB WOLF & THE HOWLERS songs we had to put together. These are the never-before-heard "Lost Recordings" of BB's before his untimely death in 1920. Remastering them took many, many hours in the studio and then, on top of that monumental task, we had 12 other musicians (my self included. I played washboard on one track and sang on another! YES!) to coordinate, get set up, record and then mix and engineer their songs. All in 5 days time! I honestly hoped we'd get 2 maybe 3 clean songs out of the deal and we got 7!!! Yes, seven! And I was amazed, delighted, cried with joy, high on adrenaline the whole time. All the songs came together beautifully (I could be crass and say something about myself here but I shall refrain) and Pauly my b-i-l worked some real magic as our engineer.

All kidding aside I have to say that hearing a song that I wrote come to fruition by some of the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing literally brought me to tears. It was a very moving experience and I shall never forget it.

And it makes me want to do it again!

So the BB Wolf book FINALLY hits the stores next week! We're having a book release party at Comicopolis in downtown Santa Cruz on the 10th from 4pm to 8pm, and the cd will also be making it's official debut there as well! The books and cds and shot glasses and coasters will all be made available immediately thereafter on this here site. I hope that some of you reading this will be able to make the party as we will be having food (dead pig of course), drinks, prizes, music and me and JD signing our books and cds and the nibbly bodyparts of all the new groupies I am sure to now have as I am a FRIGGIN' ROCK STAR!!!
