Name: Tad Stones

Bio: I work in animation and probably created some of the shows you watched as a kid like Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck.  In the last few years I've worked with Mike Mignola on a couple of Hellboy Animated movies and may do some Hellboy short subjects in the near future.  I also supervised the direct to DVD feature, Turok: Son of Stone, one of the bloodiest American features you'll ever see.I've written a couple of short Hellboy stories for Dark Horse, one of which I illustrated.  I also illustrated a back up story in an issue of The Perhapanauts. Kudos to Josh, Ron, Conor, Gordon and friends for creating such a cool place for us to hang out.

    Cosplayers and Halloween: A Love/Hate Relationship
    October 27, 2011 2:26 pm Unless you're going to have some radical cosmetic surgery, you are never going to be an accurate representation of your comic hero. Halloween is a celebration of the imagination, dark or otherwise. For one day a year, I say we let everyone into the club.

    DC’s New 52 Brings Back Cover Text
    October 27, 2011 11:17 am Covers are like movie posters. Both can sport tag lines to lure you in. Nothing wrong with that. There will be bad cover copy just like there are badly drawn or poorly composed covers without words. You wanna see words, you check out Marvel covers of the seventies. You'd get the title, some dialogue, descriptive copy and some sort of reference to the Marvel bullpen or true believers. That's when it was definitely out of control.

    Ahoy, Comic Book Pirate!
    October 4, 2011 12:07 am But if you're charging someone for it, the product has to be seen as more than acceptable. The splitting of the panels and the camera animation is what takes the time... I assume.

    BREAKING: Keith Giffen to Replace George Perez as SUPERMAN Writer
    September 30, 2011 6:43 pm Generally, when a comic or any ongoing series has an unrelenting deadline and needs to be fixed fast (for whatever reason), you call someone that you know will get the job done. Then, with a finger firmly in the dike, you use the others to dial up the fresh crop of writers to get them started on something so you don't end up in the same fix.

    iFanboy – Episode #223 – Robert Kirkman at San Diego Comic-Con 2011
    July 28, 2011 10:41 am @400yrs Of course this is comics podcasting. We all know Casey will eventually be rebooted or relaunched.  iFanboy makes too much money off him what with the toys, the licensing, the t-shirts.  We'll eventually see him back, perhaps in a grittier version with more pouches.  Then again, he's a legacy character so we may see one of his kids show up and kick Josh in the shins.  Just enjoy the journey.

    Great Kirkman interview and perfect button line.

    VIDEO: This Scene from CONAN THE BARBARIAN Is Harmless, Good-Natured Fun For All Ages
    July 21, 2011 9:58 am kennyg - judging from the reactions of his father and the rest of the village, Conan is not the typical kid.  Aside from that, any tribe can be bested by force of numbers, better tactics or treachery and all of these can be good plot elements.

    More DC Titles with Swamp Thing, Frankenstein, Animal Man, and More.
    June 9, 2011 12:13 am I think this batch is the MOST likely to appeal to non comic readers.   Even factoring in superhero blockbusters, there's way more fantasy and horror fans out there than spandex and cape fans.  But only IF they get some mainstream hype for the line.  If Superman and Batman get all the press, these will be hit or miss.

    The New DC Comics Universe Weak Link: The Creators
    June 7, 2011 4:34 pm A topic that Ron didn't include: This is DC comics making a very strong statement that superhero comics are for adults.   I'm only going by covers but there's no images that makes me thing that a dad who is inspired by the commotion to try comics again would find anything to share with his kids.

    If they're talking about reaching outside of the LCS, shouldn't their younger titles been part of the digital revolution?   Including the creation of some new action adventure titles?
