Indie Comics will fill your heart

The convention seasons begins!

Apr 28
 


 

This weekend I attended my first convention of this year's comic con season. Four State Comic Con in Hagerstown, Maryland. It was a pleasant, leisurely start to the front facing part of this job, which can be challenging for a introvert-leaning dude like me.

This show as unique for me though. This is the first time I attended a show with my new creator-owned comic on my table. Something I haven't done in a very, very long time.

Normally folks come to me for signed Batman, Deadpool, etc. They kindly support my work, but the work I do for clients.

This time out, I had some Hysteria: One Man Gang comics with me (made possible thanks to the wonderful folks who backed the Kickstarter!) It made for a new feeling for me, a strange nervousness about "pitching" my book to folks when they're expecting a new Batman comic from me.

Some times people would give me a funny look. I subtle disbelief that I'm doing this instead of, you know… more mainstream comics.

Then I let go and talk about the comic. I catch myself sounding… proud?…maybe?

Hysteria was how I started my career. It's the comic I self published at the birth of this comics life, the book I wanted to draw my entire career. A plan that changed as I was fortunate enough to get dream gig after dream gig. But Hysteria never left my mind.
