I think this is one of the better pages so far in terms of pacing and matching the conversation to the actions of the characters. It helps that the dialogue is borne by strong shared emotions, if the genesis of those emotions may not be precisely the same.

Until a few minutes ago, we displayed the Recent Referrers (that is, websites which were linking back to us) in the WassUp widget in the upper left-hand corner of the page. Upon discovering that all the recent links were for Russian smut sites, I disabled that functionality. I will see if I can re-enable it–but only after ensuring that we do not receive further WassUp-related spam.
My deepest apologies to any who have clicked one of the recent links, only to find out that it was garbage.
Next Tuesday, June 15, James will be at the Chickamauga, Georgia public library for two programs–one at 3:30 pm, and the other at 5:30 pm. If all goes as planned he will be doing his presentation on “Brainstorming a Superhero” during those two sessions as well as hawking goods (comics and originals) in between. One of the Dark Candle pages (original art) will be a door-prize as will other art.
If you are in the area or know someone who is let them know. Here are the Chickamauga Library list of events, and the main library page (in case you need directions or further information).
Or not. In fact, I don’t think Heroes Convention 2010 is able to rescue anyone, unless they are suffering from extreme boredom. Hmm, perhaps I should rewrite that title. No, I think I’ll leave it as is.
That aside, I would like to note that Dark Candle‘s penciler, inker, and letterer extraordinaire (aka James Lyle, aka Doodle, aka slightly-embarrassed-by-all-this-build-up) will be holding down a table at the convention and doing his best to ensure that heroes of many different stripes are properly and professionally represented on paper. He’ll also have some nifty Dark Candle postcards on hand–and might be convinced to sign one for your little brother whose really into that historical stuff even thought you are not.
Now, I’ve got his table number around here somewhere. . . . Ahh, here it is: American Airlines Flight 813. Sorry, make that #AA813. I got a bit carried away there and forgot it was just a table.
In case the link to the above site proves rather slow, I should let you know that Heroes Convention 2010 is being held this weekend (Friday June 4, through Sunday June 6) at the Charlotte Convention Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Here’s hoping we see you there. Oh, and if you should happen to drop by because of this post (or the link from Twitter or Facebook) please let us know. Thanks.
