See me ride out of the sunset on your color TV screen; out for all that I can get, if you know what I mean

The unstoppable power that is Hench continues to steamroll into the conscious and subconscious minds of readers and observers of the scene. Hit Four Color Review for Britt Schramm's take on our latest.

Hench, Ursula, Planet of the Capes, and Demo were our best-sellers at the San Diego convention, which was really hoppin' over at our booth. Anyone who's down on comics because of that show spent too much time being over-stimulated and distracted and not enough time concentrating on the job. The only time I left our endcap (quaintly nestled at the front of the Independent Pavilion, and, as such, hard to miss) during open hours was to go to a meeting or the bathroom. The rest of my time was spent shaking hands, signing autographs, reviewing portfolios, and selling comics.

Like Chico Esquela would have said if he'd been Making Comics Better: "San Diego been beddy, beddy good to me." Fae and Dave and all the rest have another feather in their cap, as far as I'm concerned.

Speaking of Demo, over on The Comic Treadmill, H looks at issue seven and while finding it "outstanding" and "a solid, captivating tale," still wanted more from the story. This, I'm happy to say, is how I personally feel about every issue of Bri and Becky's work on this series. There's no doubt in my mind that every single one of these issues could be expanded into at least a 96 page graphic novel, a three act feature film... heck, issue two, "Emmy," could probably be made into an ongoing television show by somebody somewhere.

So when the one crticism that sticks about Demo is that each story is less than satisfying because they raise more questions than give answers, and the reader is left at the end of the issue wanting more...

... well, know that Brian and Becky and I lean back in our chairs and smile our secret smiles.
