Confirmation...of a sort

So, like most people, every so often I Google myself (Insert obligatory dirty jokes here). Usually, not much comes up. I can find my own site, and thanks to all the hard work Bob Corby put into promoting SPACE, I can find a bunch of mentions of me on a bunch of different sites, and that's about it. Anyway, I Googled myself the other day and discovered (Drum Roll Please)...

I'm listed as an Exhibitor at the 2006 Heroes Convention in Charlotte, NC.

Which is good, because I paid for my table way back in February and still haven't recieved any other form of confirmation. So, thanks to Google I now have one less thing to worry about. Geez. I sound like a bad commercial.

And speaking of Bad Commercials, info on Heroes Convention can be found at www.heroesonline.com/con-update.htm. To find my lovely little name, check the Indie Island section. Me and Bro (I always crack up when they put Bro's name up there) are listed just below Tony Moore, around the middle.

Random Notes Post Memorial Day

Couple more Post-SPACE reviews. These were in my Bro's possession, and I only recently got around to reading em.

Agent Z- Pickle Press-Nik Havert and Federico Zumel- www.picklepress.net Another fine comic from the crew over at Pickle Press. This one is about an EPA agent who investigates a corporation with Mob ties, and the rather bizarre circumstances that result. Intriguing, interesting, and fairly well paced, backed up by really strong artwork. My only real question is how Nik Havert has the time and money to publish so many books...

Unicorn Mountain- Various- www.unicornmountain.com An anthology that contains a variety of experimental comics, as well as some prose work. Interesting stuff throughout, there's so much material contained in this baby that it's borderline overwhelming. And I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Oh, and a CD comes with the book as well. Didn't get around to listening to it though.

Alex Toth died last week. A comics legend, and the progenitor of minimalist art in comics, Toth's passing is indeed a sad affair. We here at TORC Press offer our condolences to his family.

Watched "Thank You for Smoking" over the weekend. Funny, clever, and intelligent, the film does the near impossible and actually makes us root for the main character, a scumbag cigarette lobbyist. A great flick with a great cast that will actually make you think. Check it out.

I ate a ton of grilled foods this weekend. Me happy.

Had an entire string of bizarre dreams last night. You know how nowadays they're getting so good with CGI that stuff looks damn near real? Well that ain't nothing compared to having a dream where you're actually staring at a damn UFO, and that sumbitch is powering up his Death Ray.

A Fat Wad of Quick Reviews

This post has been updated with a few more reviews that I forgot the first time around. So check it.

King Kong- Is it too long? Yes. Should entire sections of the flick be excised? Yes. Is it really freaking cool when Kong finally shows up and starts kicking ass and taking names? Hells Yes. An uneven flick to say the least, when Kong rocks it rocks, and when it don't it could be used as a cure for insomnia. I really liked the wierd relationship between Kong and Naomi Watts, though.

Capote- I've never read any of Truman Capote's stories, nor do I know much about the man. Having said that, I was able to follow the story of how Capote assembled his masterwork, "In Cold Blood" the true life tale of two vagrants who murdered an innocent family, well enough. The real strength of this movie is the cast who are pitch perfect from top to bottom, with Phillip Seymore Hoffman, as Capote, leading the pack. His transformation is phenomenal.

Transamerica- Speaking of transformations, Felicity Huffman is a chick, playing a dude, who's turning into a chick. And she pulls it off flawlessly. I always knew she was a good actress, but damn! Didn't know she was that good. Besides a stellar performance, the flick itself, which involves the aformentioned tranny taking a cross country road trip with the son she didn't even know she had, is excellent. I've always been drawn to stories about wierd relationships/families, so it really should come as no surprise that I was drawn into this story. Word of warning to the squeemish, there's a decent amount of homoeroticism sprinkled throughout.

Junebug- This is one of those soft spoken character pieces where everything is all subtle. The plot is pretty simple, a couple that's been married for six months take a business trip down south, which is where the husband's family lives. They decide to visit. The acting is good all around, but ultimately the only character I ended up liking was the talkative pregnant girl. Worth a watch.

The Squid and the Whale- Another character piece, this one about a family that's trying to reorganize after a divorce. My big problem with this film is that I didn't like or empathize with any of the characters. The Dad (Jeff Daniels giving the performance of his carreer) is a failed author who goes around verbally abusing everyone he encounters. The Mom, who I think is supposed to be the empathetic character of the bunch, is nothing more than a vapid whore. The Oldest Son is trying to become the Dad, so, he's a jerk. And the Youngest Son, who's like 10 years old, goes around chronically masterbating in public. You heard me. And yes, it is creepy.

Good Night and Good Luck- It's a B&W film set in the 50s about the battle between broadcaster Edward R. Murrow and Witchhunting Thug Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Sounds boring, right? WRONG! One of the most exciting films I've seen in a while, Good Night is set in a time, similiar to today, where everyone was afraid. But unlike today, there were a few good people who weren't afraid to stand up for what was right. Great flick.

Enron: The Smartest Men in the Room- Evil in its most elaborate form is on display in this pitch perfect documentary that meticulously details the rise and fall of Enron. A must watch, especially if you're in the mood to get a little outraged.

Art School Confidential- The only flick I've seen in a theatre in months. From the creators of Ghost World comes the funniest flick I've seen in ages, and the best new film I've seen all year (admittedly, it's a short list, but I digress). The trials, tribulations, and full on stupidity of being an art student is on display in this hi-larious flick. There are so many moments throughout the film that mirrored my own life, it woulda been scary if I hadn't spent so much time laughing. The only flaw with this flick is that there is a subplot involving a campus strangler that comes to a head in the third act. I felt the entire strangler plot felt completely out of place. Still, despite an uneven third act, still a great film. Higly recommended, especially for artists who don't take themselves too seriously.

Just Something I Noticed...

So, I was rereading "Kingdom Come" by Mark Waid and Alex Ross (published by DC Comics, duh) the other day, and I suddenly came to the realization that the message behind Kingdom Come is the exact opposite of the mini-series "Wanted". Allow me to elaborate.

"Kingdom Come" is set in the "near future" of the DC Universe. The premise is that, at some point in time a group of "New Wave" Superheroes show up. They're flashy and bright, but at the same time, dangerous and unstable. These new Superheroes go around killing off the Supervillians, which of course is a big no-no to the older heroes like Superman. Eventually, the Old School Heroes leave and go into seclusion. The New School Heroes wipe out all the Bad Guys, and then spend all of their time beating each other up for absolutely no good reason. Eventually, the Old School Heroes return and a War erupts between these two sets of philosophies. And in the end, everything goes straight to Hell. The Moral of the story is: Superheroes shouldn't go around killing Bad Guys.

Then, there's Mark Millar's "Wanted" from Image Comics. Set in a world eerily reminescent of the DC Universe, the premise behind Wanted is that one day, all of the Supervillians get together and stomp the Superheroes flat. They brainwash the Superheroes into thinking they're ordinary people, and they brainwash the entire planet into thinking that superpeople are fictional. After that, the Supervillians secretly control a world that looks more than a little bit like our current one. The Moral of the story is: Supervillians are bad guys, and left to their own devices, they will eventually succeed in doing something really, really, aweful.

Here's where I slap my two cents in. I don't think that Superman should run around killing people. Or Spiderman. Or even Batman for that matter. It's not right for their characters. And even though they've all got a rogue's gallery full of dangerous supervillians, any one of whom could awful things to them, the whole point of being a hero is that at the end of the day, the heroes overcome the villians. Maybe that's not how it works in real life, but hey, it's not like there's guys who can leap tall buildings in a single bound in real life either.

BUT, on the other hand, I don't get what the big deal about superheroes killing supervillians is either. Think about it. A cop is chasing down a criminal. The criminal shoots at the cop. Now, does the cop try to take the criminal alive at this point? Hell no! The cop shoots back, because this is a life or death situation. Oh course it's worth mentioning, if the criminal surrenders, the cop probably isn't gonna gun him down. I hope I never get put in a dangerous situation, but if for some reason some guy comes at me with an intent to kill my ass, then I'm gonna come at him just as hard (Hahaha! Listen to me talking all tough. I'd probably just piss myself and run away, screaming like a leetle girl...).

That's pretty much the philosophy behind most of the action stories in the TORCverse. My characters aren't fighting to save the city or a group of bystanders, or to stop a jewel thief. They're fighting for their very lives against an enemy that will not stop coming until one of them is DEAD. There is no surrender, and even if there was, what would you do with the bad guy after he surrendered anyway? How do you put a Demon from Hell in jail? Most of my characters are rejects from society who don't exactly have access to prison facilities. (Course, even then there are exceptions to even this rule. After all, the Sheriff's office in Mosquito Village probably has a jail, and the hard working cops of the MCPD probably have access to prison facilities...) It's kinda like that old samurai proverb, "Don't draw your sword unless you're prepared to get cut down."

Newspaper Funnies

So, the Game Store/Restaraunt that I routinely hang out at likes to stock the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Now, being a bit of a schmoe, I've never been a big fan of reading the paper. But I'm a HUGE fan of the funnies. For a long time I thought the art of the comic strip had been forgotten, and that most comic strips that got into the newspaper were boring, watered down crap. Not true. Here's my List of Newspaper Strips that Rock My World:

Get Fuzzy- A talking cat, a talking dog, and a slacker share an apartment. The cat's insane and greedy, the human's the straight man, and the dog's just trying to survive. Great art and very funny. Almost guaranteed to get a chuckle out of me.

Dilbert- Y'wanna know why Dilbert was so popular a few years back? It's cause it's funny. Period. I've never worked in a cubicle, and yet I get a big kick out of this strip.

Pearls Before Swine- Don't let the simplistic, almost cute, artwork fool you. This strip is clever and more than a little acidic. A strip that can be very much grounded in real life one minute and absolutely surreal the next, Pearls is freaking brilliant. How good is it? I showed Bro a strip yesterday that made him laugh his ass off. And Bro doesn't give a crap about newspaper funnies.

Mutts- So. I have a bit of a weakness for cute. Those of you who read my comics know this. Mutts is so cute it makes my teeth hurt. It's my guilty pleasure comic.

Non Sequitor- Nice art, and typically features solid socio/political commentary. Plus, the strip can be kinda surreal from time to time.

Doonsebury- Y'know how I knew I was an adult? It was the day that Doonsebury made sense to me. When this complex, long running, socio/poltical comic went from being "That crappy strip where everyone has squinty eyes and big noses" to "This is hi-larious!" I knew I was an old man. One of the longer running strips in the newspaper, and still one of the funniest and most socially relevent.

I would mention the Boondocks as well, but the St. Louis Post Dispatch dropped it for some reason.

Post SPACE Reviews and Views

Better late than never, right? Here's some odds and ends I became aware of at SPACE. Before we start, here's the rules: I only put up Names and Websites. I don't put up e-mail or Snail Mail addresses. If your book is up here and you want to put up your e-mail or Snail Mail address, then drop a comment on the blog. Dig it?

http://wordfromonhigh.blogspot.com- A fella was giving out samplers of his blog, so I figured I'd put the link up, cause that's what I do.

www.parseitup.com- When I checked this one out, I had trouble figuring out what it was. The slow load time on computer didn't exactly help. I think it's sort of an online comic. The art I saw looked really good.

http://roguerobot.com- A good webcomic, taking something of a gag/parody slant. It's worth mentioning that at the Con, the guy who does the comic had his girlfriend literally rolling around the Con on roller skates, handing out cards and buttons. Give the guy points for originality.

www.fanaticpress.com- These folks did a documentary of SPACE, and they actually interviewed me. Course whether or not I appear on the finished product is debatable. Also, their site has a ton of interesting comics up on it, so check it.

www.opticalsloth.com- A mini-comic and zine review site. They gave a decent review of my mini from last year, and the dude picked up all three of my minis this year, so maybe I'll get some positive feedback. Or maybe I'll get further acknowlegment that I suck. Eh, whatever.

A fella I know by the name of Aaron started out making mini-comics, and has since graduated to making low budget film. I've mentioned his site www.nofunfilms.com before. Anyway, he's got a flick called "Fall from Grace" that should be up on www.filmfights.com all this week. Check that out, and if you're feeling it, throw a little voteage Aaron's way.

www.midgardcomics.com- A comic shop in the greater Columbus area, the owner hung out at my table a little while and bought a book off me, so I figure I definately needed to put a link up.

Dutchy Digest- Spring 06- Free Comic Book Day Special- Steven Hager & Bruce Rosenberger- http://dutchydigest.tripod.com- The Dutchy Digest is a very fun mini-comic about life among the Pennsylvania Dutch. It has a very classic feel.
The Mini I scored at SPACE details a trip to the Dump which goes a little awry. The Father's inability to throw anything away reminds me more than a little of my own Pa.

Hate Your Friends #5-$1.50-Kristin Blank & Michael Wood- www.spacemonkeyonline.com- A slice of life comic with an expressive, cartoony art style. Really good stuff, my only complaint is that this comic desperately needs a recap page. I did figure out all of the characters and their various relationships, but it took me the entire comic to do so. Otherwise, good stuff.

Melvin & Frank Comics #1- $2- Matt Hawkins- Swillhound Studios- Solidly entertaining adventures of a cartoon Bear & Rabbit. The Bear has dropped out of College and must now find a crummy job to pay the bills. The art on this is really good, like a cross between classic Hannah Barbera and Spumco.

Grizzled Comics: John Wayne Dixon and It Vomits Dreams- Kyle Strahm- www.grizzledcomics.com- Short but intriguing stories featuring really good production values and art that is minimalist but razor freaking sharp. Very dark stuff, especially the short story featuring the zombie babies. You heard me.

Straw Man #5- David Branstetter- Dimlight Entertainment Group- www.angelfire.com/comics/strawman- New neighbor at SPACE does this book about a former cop who up and decides he's a superhero, despite the fact that he has no powers. Clever stuff, it reminds me a lot of Bob Burden's work (Flaming Carrot, Mystery Men).

SDF: The Great Race is now Available!

SDF: The Great Race is now Available! Hm. That was a bit redundant. Anyway, the latest (and at least one person has said, greatest) issue of SDF is now available from TORC Press. It can be acquired online at www.torcpress.com/comicshop.html. Or, if you dig on the snail mail approach, send a check or money order for $2.50 plus $1.50 S&H to:

TORC Press
c/o Joseph Morris
330 S 5th St SW
Clay City, IL 62824

This issue is a little different than its predecessors. For starters, you might have noticed it's only $2.50, instead of $5. That's because this issue is only 24 pages, instead of the usual 48. Half the pages, half the price. Also, previous issues have been multi-story anthologies. This issue contains only one, full length story.

So, what's "The Great Race" about? The plot is simple. The various characters of the TORCverse gather together for a Downhill Soapbox Derby style race. Winner gets a trophy. That's it. The plot is pretty much irrelevant. The point of the story is how much mayhem can occur during a downhill race when you've got such a diverse cast of characters, including Cactus Joe, Walt & Sped, El Gorio, and aliceislost, among others, going at it. It's really just 24 pages of pure unadulterated silliness crammed into an issue. It's my loving homage to the Hannah-Barbera cartoons of my youth, especially Wacky Races and Laff-a-Lympics. Highly recommended for anyone with a sense of humor.

Oh, there is one problem with the book that I wanna get out in the open. Due to a printing glitch, there are two pages that are very light. They're still readable, but it's obvious they look kinda crummy. I personally don't think it really takes away from the issue, but it's something that I didn't wanna hide or lie about.

Back from SPACE!

We're back from SPACE! The Show was great, we met lots of great people, we made more money this year than we did last year, and afterwards I stuffed myself full of Mexican food. A Big ole Thank You to everyone that came out and supported TORC Press. In the next couple of days I'm gonna try to hype all the various comics, minis, and whatnots I scored at SPACE, so keep your eyes open for that.

Let's Try This

We'll make this one really short and see if it goes through. Prep work for SPACE continues. I should be picking up T-shirts tonight. I thought "Civil War #1" was really good, but I'm not picking up the series. I thought "Infinite Crisis #7" kinda sucked, and I'm glad I didn't pick up that series. "Frankenstien #4" freaking ruled. If I haven't reccomended it enough, check out "Batman Year 100" by Paul Pope. On the movie front, the only good thing about "Match Point" is Scarlett Johansen. The rest of the flick was kinda dull with an out of left field twist ending that kinda pissed me off. "The Ice Harvest" wasn't a bad noir flick. But not a killer either. If you've got movie channels, it's a good flick to kill a weeknight with. "Capote" is pretty good, mostly because it's got a steller cast, headed up by Phillip Seymor Hoffman, who totally transforms himself for the role. The best of the trio I rented.

Take 4

So, I had to go to Evansville over the weekend. With my local comic shop closed, Comic Quest in Evansville, a two hour drive away, is the most prominent comic shop I now have access to. Obviously, much loading up on comics was called for. Before I left I asked Boolah if he wanted anything, and all he could think of was "Infinite Crisis #7" and "Civil War #1". I rolled my eyes and muttered something, but agreed to pick up the books if I could find them.

Surely enough, found copies of each, and picked up a fat stack of books for myself (for all my bitching about crossovers here lately, I ended up buying three crossover related books myself: Annihalation Silver Surfer, Annihalation Ronan, and Seven Soldiers Frankenstien. Sooner or later everyone's a hypocrite). Anyway, I get home and read my books. And since Boolah hasn't been able to pick up his books yet, I end up reading Infinite Crisis #7 and Civil War #1, because I can't NOT read a comic that's sitting front of me.

Infinite Crisis #7 had the steepest learning curve because I hadn't read any of the previous issues, and I'm not a DCU history guru. Still, it was all pretty easy to figure out. Buncha people fight. Big bad guy does something crazy. Buncha people try to stop him. Fight, fight, fight. The Holy Trio of DC remember what defines each of them. Some people die. The end. All in all, it was easy enough to follow if you've got a head for this kinda crap. Sure, I didn't grasp some of the finer details, but overall I think I got it. What did I think? Meh. Uneven art (absolutely beautiful in some places, garishly bad in others), outside of the five central characters, characterization is thrown out the window in favor of the old "let's see how many characters we can cram onto a page" approach, and really for an event that was supposed to come across as Super Ultra Epic, the thing felt far less epic than, say, Seven Soldiers. Like I said, meh.

On the other hand, I gotta admit I was pleasantly surprised by Marvel's Civil War #1. The plot was easy to follow, and the handful of things I didn't know ahead of time (where's Nick Fury, and why do the SHIELD soldiers look like rejects from Halo?) were easy enough to understand. I didn't see the plot twist coming (one surprising character sides with the rebels...), and the action sequence in the middle did, in fact, rock the house. And not only was the art consistant, it was absolutely beautiful. Overall, it wasn't bad, but still not good enough to warrant me actually picking this series up. It's just too unwieldly, and I know for a fact that there will be entire issues of this series where nothing will happen. Oh, and before I forget, if you look up the word "ASS" in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of Spiderman's new costume.

But there was something I noticed while reading these two series. Super heroes died. A LOT. In fact, that seems to be the trend nowadays. You have a big crossover, you get out your list of characters, and you just start randomly selecting guys to kill off. Hell, half the time there's no real rhyme or reason to any of it, either. I don't even know why it bugs the hell out of me, but it does. Don't get wrong, I've killed off characters in my books before, but usually they were characters who hadn't been around very long. I am bound and determined that when it's time for a character to die, that they get a worthwhile send off, and not be the casulty of some event designed to boost sales. Bah.

Cinco de Mayo!

Feliz de Cinco de Mayo! Happy 5th of May Amigos! Woo-Hoo! The one day of the Year I almost wish I drank alcohol. Almost. Oh well, raise a glass of tequila or Corona or whatever for old Joe while you're out celebrating today, eh? In the meantime, I'm gonna take this opportunity to stuff my guts with as much Mexican food as possible. Woo-Hoo Again!

My Table Number for SPACE is 42, which, last time I checked was also the answer to life, the universe, and everything. I'm on the edge of a row.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, TORC Press is having a ONE DAY SPECIAL. Any Online Orders for Comics that I recieve today will get a Free Sketch with their order. Again, this is only for May 5th, and make sure to include which TORC Press character you want a sketch of in your order. The link is www.torcpress.com/comicshop.html.

I gotta get to Evansville tomorrow to get all of my promo materials for SPACE printed up. Long story short, I'm gonna spend most of the day camping out in a Kinkos. Hooray?

SPACE Hype, Part 2

Alrighty, the last post contained info on the actual SPACE show. This one is all about what TORC Press will be doing there. And what will TORC Press be doing? Well, obviously we're gonna talk to folks, and hang out, and be all cool and stuff. But the main thing we will be doing is Selling Stuff. Here's the rundown:

Comics-
We'll be selling every issue of SDF to date. That's Crumpled Planet, Strange Patterns, Perfect/Ugly, Very Odd Jobs, Sombrero Friday, and Lost Jigsaw Pieces. Every issue is 48 Pages of B&W Anthology style mayhem for $5. With every purchase of a comic, you get a free Sketch from my infamous Sketch pile (Limit: One sketch per customer). In addition, for every comic you buy, you get a free mini-comic (since there's only three minis available, obviously it's a limit of three per customer). In addition (and this is a Convention Exclusive deal), if you buy multiple comics, we'll knock a buck off of the cover price of each comic you buy.

Mini-Comics-
We're also selling mini-comics. These lovely little bitty promos are 12 pages of Xeroxed loveliness for 50 cents. If you buy all three minis for $1.50 then I'll throw in a sketch from the sketch pile. Issues I've got available are:
-SDF Rambler featuring Cactus Joe: This was made previously available at Wizard World Chicago '05. It's a fast paced fight comic starring the Clown and Pengy.
-SDF Rambler featuring Walt & Sped: A good old fashioned silly comic starring my infamous Cat and Dog duo.
-SDF Rambler featuring Liquid Jar: A very, very odd book. Very stream of consciousness. A good read for those out there who are into experimental comics.

T-Shirts-
We will have a limited quantity of TORC Press logo shirts and (fingers crossed) a handful of TORC Press World Tour '06 Tees. These will be on sale for $6.oo. Sizes and supplies are limited on these, but it's no big cause we didn't move any T-shirts last year, and I'm not expecting much of a rush on em this year either.

Other Stuff-
I will have a pile of pre-made sketches ready to go for the show. Supplies on these are limited, and they are only available with the purchase of a regular comic or with all three minis. Other than that, I should have my business card, TORC Press stickers, and a promo flyer with exclusive original art that will detail all of the shows I will (hopefully) be attending this year.

Anyhoo, that's the rundown. If you're gonna be at SPACE, make sure to stop by the TORC Press table and say hi, and maybe toss a little coinage our way.

Oh yeah! One more thing! Anyone who brings me a sketchbook and requests a sketch from me will get one for FREE! You don't gotta buy crap. When I do sketchbook sketches, I do em quick, but I do em for free. Oh, and I'll only draw TORC Press characters (unless you ask me really, really nicely to draw something else).

Countdown to SPACE, pt. 1

Alrighty, with under two weeks till SPACE, I figure it's time to start up the Hype Machine a little. First off, the basics. The Small Press Alternative Comics Expo, or SPACE for short, is being held on Saturday, May 13th, 2006 at the Alladin Shrine Complex, 3850 Stelzer Rd., Columbus, OH from 10am till 6pm. Admission is $5.00. More info and a list of exhibitors can be found at www.backporchcomics.com/space.htm.

So, if you live in Ohio or one of the surrounding states, why should you go to SPACE? In my opinion, the best reason to go to SPACE is because it is one of a handful of Pure Comic Book Conventions. There's not a bunch of comic book shops with quarter bins trying to get rid of crap they can't normally sell. There's no action figures, RPGs, Video Games, or Yu-Gi-Eh cards. It's just good old fashioned comics, plain and simple. In fact, none of the big guns are there either. No Marvel, DC, Image, or Dark Horse. Now, there's nothing wrong with the Big Guys, and at the bigger Cons it's cool to see their giant booths, and to meet the name brand people, and to hear about alla the upcoming hype for the next year or two. But at SPACE, the focus is on the little guy. Guys who don't have much or any distribution. Guys whose comics ain't in a bunch of comic book shops (or in any shops for that matter...). Guys who work just as hard as anyone in the big leagues, but have the heart to do it on their own.

If this sounds interesting to you, and you feel like making the drive, then I strongly urge you to save up a few bucks over the next couple of weeks and check it out. Admission is cheap (hell, it's cheaper than any bar with a drink minimum...), and there's lots of comics that can purchased for a buck or less (for example, I will be selling Mini-comics for a whopping 50 cents). With not even that much money, you can acquire a pretty sizeable sampling of what the Small Press has to offer.

And, hey, on the off chance that a fan of TORC Press is reading this (insert laughter here), TORC Press will be at the show in full force. We're gonna have lots of great stuff for sale, and lots of great promo stuff as well. So there's another good reason to check out the show.

I'll continue the Hype on Wednesday or Thursday with a full run down on what TORC Press will have available at the Convention.
