It was great to see lots of people drop by and pick up the book, a lot even bought a few more books as well, which is great to see.

Tomorrow is a pretty big day for comic book fans across North America, a lot of stores, especially in the GTA will be hosting different kind of Superman Man of Steel kind of events in store. So go down, get a free All-Star Superman comic, a free poster and also be sure to check the all new Unchained Superman, by the creative team of Scott Snyder and Jim Lee. However with that out of the way I wanted to bring your attention to another really cool release going on tomorrow as well, which is part of Aspen comics 10th anniversary event during the summer, 10 for 10, in which every month Aspen will be releasing a new series with the first issue being only $1! A neat feature with this line of comics is stores across the country are encouraged to find different comic book artist and get them to draw unique store only covers. Here at Spent Pencils, we've had the chance to have some of our artist draw up a few of these covers. The very talented Vince Sunico and Daniel Wong had a chance to do a few of these covers for Stadium Comics! And now Oliver Castañeda and Paul Limgenco will be working together to bring a unique cover for Gotham Central Comics, for the Aspen comic series, BubbleGun! And the best part is, this comic will be available tomorrow at Gotham Central, and both artist will be on site for signing! I will post links for this event and the one that is taking place at Stadium Comics, and they will also be having a unique cover for BubbleGun, by the very talented Toronto artist, Adam Gorham.

To bring everyone up to speed with tomorrow's release, here is the general idea behind the plot for BubbleGun...

"They like the tech, but live for the high stakes! Sisters Molli and Devyn, along with teammates Roman and Kyo—and a stockpile of cutting edge, cyber-punk technology, form a confident team of mercenary thieves able to take on the most formidable jobs around. Yet, when one cyber heist turns out to be more than they bargained for, as a mysterious package and its contents threaten to unravel the group to its core, the menacing worlds of corrupt industry and deadly espionage is unleashed upon them! "

So if this does sound like a pretty cool story that you want to get into, be sure to check it out. And if that doesn't get you going, got a few exclusive images here that will get you going in no time. Here is a sneak preview of the cover from Oliver and Paul. The first image is the pencils only and the second is the coloured finished image.

So there you have it, so if you live anywhere in the GTA, no reason not to go down and get a copy of these covers! There are limited in numbers, so act fast and get yours today! Also I got a few plugs and links for everyone reading today, the first one is for an awesome web ongoing web comic series, Tales of Lost, by the very talented Tiffany Medeiros. And for any Sailor Moons fans out there, be sure to check out, The-Kid36 website and DA page, he is going through the whole casts of characters. Also be sure to check out and follow me and all my updates on Twitter and Instagram by going to @ChileanStorm for all art, Spent Pencils and comic news and updates.

Hot and Tired as Hell

After a long three days of work, I finally have a day off tomorrow. It's long hours standing and working on the floor making sales, stocking products and all that, but as they say, a mans got to eat. But honestly there's nothing better than sitting at my desk, with my music and a bunch of materials and paper, just drawing the night away, creating and imagining the things that haven't been thought of before. I am really looking forward to working away on some sketch cards and I am also going to get started on a few blank covers as well, the hard part is deciding which covers to start on. But truth be told I will probably be starting on some Batman/Scarecrow covers. I honestly love the Scarecrow way too much, it's a little scary...get it? Okay, that was lame, I will admit that.

Anyways, I want to take the time to let everyone know that on the 26th this month, me and Spent Pencils crew will be drawing for the people at Gotham Central Comics for their one year anniversary! Come down and get some original art and prints from all of us at SP, I will have plenty of sketch cards and original drawings available for purchase and I will be doing blank covers as well for anyone looking for a unique original cover. Gotham Central Comics have been amazing to us and honestly it's one of the largest comics stores in Toronto, hell maybe in all of Canada. If you haven't been, now is the best time of any to come by and see the amazingly large selection of comics, graphic novels, toys, figurines and plenty more down at Gotham. Mark the date and make it your day, Saturday January 26th! You've been told!

Another short blog for tonight guys, going to be an early night for me most likely, really tired. But keep posted here and remember to spread the word slackers, tell everyone you know and all that good stuff. So that's me for today, til then I am signing off.
