The Bolt #8 is now available at camdenscomics.com! Oddball has nullified the Bolt’s power, figured out his identity, and suspended Jerome above a vat of acid. Things are definitely looking grim for Team Bolt! While it may feature giant robots, explosions, and acidic death traps, the moral of this story is that friendship is the ultimate superpower. #comics#comicbooks #comicbooklife #thebolt#camdenscomics #camden #art #artist#marvel #dccomics #comiccon #comic#heroes #independentartist #indie#indiecomics #entrepreneur #cosplay#popculture #hero #illustration#illustrator #artistofinstagram#dcuniverse #marvellegends#independent

Today in Rhetoric of Comics, we talked about Hawkeye, and some of its interesting visual strategies. If you’ve never read Fraction and Aja’s Hawkeye, check it out post haste. There is a full issue told from the perspective of a dog (pizza dog), and the comic format allows the creators to come up with a whole new way of showing how the dog mind works. He thinks in scents and associations, rendered by the artist in simple icons (see the color page above for an example).

So students had five minutes to draw Pizza Dog (and drawing animals is itself an adventure!), and then to render the icons that Pizza Dog might think when encountering them.

Some really strong work on the dog, first and foremost. Some of the images above really captured Aja’s style well. But I thought there was also some very good work on the simple icons (pizza, coffee, love, hats, excessive blabbermouthing (heh heh), lipstick, and…well, the sushi one needed a caption!).

Overall, a fun exercise, and also one that shows what is possible in the medium. Consider how these notecard comics (and Hawkeye, obviously) reinvent the page, and the way the eye moves across the page, and how much time we spend on each idea or image…

ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM #13 NOW AVAILABLE

FINALLY THE 13th… Greetings ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM fans! — “Action” Steve here with some good news… The all-new, 28-page ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM #13 is now on sale!

THE GREATEST EVER! AFK#13 may be the GREATEST EVER issue of ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM (and if you’ve been reading the story, you’ll see what I did there). The new issue delivers the action-packed conclusion to the “Try-Out Issues” storyline — which began back in AFK#11 — and features nearly cover-to-cover action, with the largest cast of characters ever to appear in a single issue of AFK!  Hopefully, the new issue also delivers some good humor along the way (not the ice cream, silly!). All this plus, AFK fans will finally find out how the try-outs end. — After all… this whole story started with ACROBOT and SPARKINATOR looking to recruit a new member to the team (or more technically — as ACROBOT would point-out — the duo).

FIRSTS! ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM #13 delivers several “firsts.” — It’s the first issue of AFK to feature a choice of two covers — a decision made in part because it’s also the first issue with covers colored by the talented, Lea Jean Badelles (whose amazing coloring work is elevating ACTION FIGURE KINGDOM to new levels). Another “first” may not be so apparent until you finish the issue, so we’ll let you try to figure that one out for yourself.

You can get your hands on the new issue at FUNNYBOOKS Comics & Stuff — our affiliated comic book shop in Lake Hiawatha, NJ — or you can order a copy online at FUNNYBOOKS’ online store (HERE) or right (HERE) at the actionfigurekingom.com webstore.

Bell Works, 101 Crawfords Corner Road, Holmdel, NJ 07733

Super Jersey Comic Expo launches in 2021, produced by the team behind Middletown Comic Show!

This will be a comic book centric event for everyone from dollar bin hunters to big spenders with a concentration on fun, customer service, and experience.

[indiecomicsofnj]

Welcome to the third year of the Indie Comics of NJ blog.  I started this blog in 2016 to help gather news and updates about the creators of independent, small press, or self published comics from around NJ in the hopes that visitors will be able to preview some of the independent exhibitors and their work before they attend one of the many NJ comic conventions and to keep up to date on their favorite NJ creators. Along with the reposting of other posts from Tumblr members, any comics creator is also able to create and submit their own posts on this blog with images and links to their work by using the “submit” button. Tumblr doesn’t feel as popular of a social network as it once was but is still a great platform for supporting this local comics community.  

Best wishes to everyone for a great 2018! - GR Lear @unlimitedwondercomics.

People Making Comics in NJ 2017

NJ is such a sprawling suburban state that it’s difficult to coalesce one distinct comics scene but you can find some amazing folks making a range of comics at any of the (10+) comic conventions hosted here in the Garden State. This blog is my effort to help build and support that community, so with that in mind, here is a list of some people I found in/from NJ that are actively making/publishing comics.  -GR Lear
