UGO.com Interviews “The New Hotness in Comics”


Witness me in fine form, swirling my cup of tea with my pinkie extended and twirling my mustachio like a villain:

UGO: “…[w]hat are your thoughts on the rise of web comics over the last few years?”

DAN: “…I blame two things: blogging and Diamond. Diamond’s recent policy changes shut my own self-publishing imprint FWDbooks’ doors by not fulfilling our orders and ultimately not listing us in favor of hero-genre work. That, coupled with blogging software that allows anyone to do any type of comic that you can imagine, suddenly leveled the playing field. There are more people reading comics online than are buying 98% of all printed comics now, and it’s growing everyday, as well as TOTAL CREATIVE FREEDOM… and I frankly think Diamond deserves a backhanded congrats for helping everyone along with it.”

Soul of the Outer Boroughs

718, my new 22pg comic-book with Chris Radtke, begins this Thursday on ACT-I-VATE

718 is Coming

Chris Radtke and I are making a beautiful baby together called 718 and it’s going to start dropping manga-beats on you once the last week of SHOOTING WAR hits. The bad news is that what you see here is not a cover; it’s actually just the first time the character’s jumped from sketchbrain to laptop; the good news is I’m gonna get LOOOOSE with this comic and do things I’ve never seen before and always wished someone else would.

The other good news is that we’re gonna give it to you on the digital for free, over on ACT-I-VATE, starting in a few weeks… with the first issue hitting dead tree sometime after. It will be naturally be available in comic shops; we’ll supply retailers with solicitation info as soon as it arrives.

So… what’s 718 about? I dropped some hints about 718 in this interview a while back, if you were paying attention. See you on the other side, kids.
