There is also a great 5 page ‘Making Of’ at the end Bombshell #1 where writer/creator James Lynch explains how the comic came to be. It’s a very informative write-up, covering costume development, publishing, and finding artist Santiago Espina.

Bombshell #1 has been selected as Moby’s inaugural Digital Pick for FCBD. You can download issue #1 free here, and please be sure to have a look at the Kickstarter as well.

BombshellWell, the annual Free Comic Book Day is upon us once again, and I’ve got a suggestion for a free comic for you! In case you have never heard of FCBD, here’s the scoop:

Free Comic Book Day is a single day – the first Saturday in May each year – when participating comic book shops across North America and around the world give away comic books absolutely FREE* to anyone who comes into their stores.“

I’ve chosen Hero Universe Comics Bombshell #1 to be Moby’s inaugural Digital Pick for FCBD. There are three issues in the series, and you can get the first one for free right here. There are so many indie comics out nowadays, and many of them are noteworthy, but I wanted to pick something from the crowd that most readers would enjoy.

If you collect comics you have probably imagined what it would be like to wake up and have a superpowers, eh? Then what? You have these superpowers, but how do you become a superhero? That’s sort of the premise behind Bombshell.

This pick is in honor of the Bombshell #1 Convention Exclusive Edition Kickstarter going on right now; more info on that is at the bottom of this post. Continue reading »

DowsingPicI have plans to do a whole series of posts about the artists I’ve found using Pandora, but I did manage to discover a new artist (new to me) by a different method. The band is called ‘Dowsing‘, and they are based out of Chicago (like Katie Todd) and their music is indie, emo, and pop. And apparently they are pretty good at playing Monopoly. Continue reading »

Changing Faces by Katie Todd

I found Katie using Pandora, and her first album, ‘Changing Faces’, just hit it out of the park. So much indie music is slow, melancholic and plodding. Not to say they suck, but it does seem too many ‘indie’ albums are ‘indie’ because they are just too pedestrian and not really ‘poppy’ enough to make it on the radio, for instance.

The offerings on Katie’s first album avoid such a label as ‘pedestrian’ by being upbeat and having great hooks and choruses. This album showcases Katie’s use of the piano for more than just slow songs, and her pop/rock compositions have been used in movies, television, and opening themes of all stripes. Continue reading »
