I totally wanted to hold off on posting this until we had 3 pages but… Tim Jensen knocked this page outta the park! So I just had to share! Check out more of his stuff over at iamtommyknuckles.com!

Whoa! We got an interview/write up on Wizard World’s main page!
They said The Awakened, “…is hands down the coolest indie comic we found at Chicago Comic Con! Seriously, hot pink has never looked so bad ass.”

I actually found a contest specific to comic writers, and it’s being hosted by none other than the legendary Stan Lee! I didn’t find out about it until a week before the due date, but I decided to push and take advantage of an opportunity. I made it happen and submitted an entry! Feel free to hit the link and check out the PDF below:
And hey, if you’re a writer or artist yourself, there’s still time to submit! They extended the deadline to 9.23.11http://geek-news.mtv.com/2011/08/08/mtv-comics-and-stan-lee-launch-the-seekers-contest/
You know – I would have bet money that Zombies were dead (no pun intended). I thought it was an overdone genre like Vampires and Werewolves. But as I was walking around at Comic Con, they – were – everywhere. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge fan of the Walking Dead and I think it does Zombies amazingly well. It’s kind of like war games in the video game market. Why try and make another Call of Duty like game when it already exists?
But anyway, there I was looking at all of the zombie stuff and I asked myself how can I “twist” it. And that’s how Zombie Comedians: Gallagher’s Revenge was born. It’s the latest Jensen and James joint. I think it’s going to be fun. It’s us pitching a zombie idea to a big shot producer. Here’s the cover. Preview coming soon!
Well – we finally did it. We actually finished issue 1. What started out as just another random idea, finally became a reality – and it is definitely surreal… Actually following through with a creative idea beyond its conception feels so -damn – good. And now I am officially addicted…
And again, HUGE thanks are due to TIM JENSEN of IAMTOMMYKNUCKLES.COM! He decided to embark on this crazy adventure with me back in December and his pencils brought my words to life. Thanks are also due to JIM CHEEVER who slapped the ink on the pencils and to DEREK KIRTZIC for bringing us all together. I could go on on with the thank yous…my wife Brenda for dealing with all of the time I had to sacrifice to see this thing through – Justin Kim for all of those late night coloring tutorials – and all of YOU who are actually reading this!
