Dead Tree Renovations

Ramblings: January 6th, 2010

The long awaited renovation to E-merl’s Print Comics page has completed its first stage. I’ve stripped out some of my older, out-of-print minis and added a proper PayPal shopping cart via which people can get their hands on the new Brain Fist trade paperback. That’s right, Brain Fist is finally available for purchase right here […]

A Necessary Purchase

Ramblings: December 22nd, 2009

A quick pre-Christmas post to point everyone in the direction of this here page concerning the new Necessary Monsters trade paperback. You need this book! It’ll be out in comic shops in February but you need to go and order it from your friendly comic shop owner now, because that is the way the gods […]

Oddness, Thought Bubbles and Brain Fist

Ramblings: November 20th, 2009

Two quick bits of business. Firstly, Empire of Odd has completed its run at Ctrl Alt Shift. The instalments are kind of spread out around their blog and rather hard to find so I thought I’d better do a post linking to all them from one place. And here it is.
Part One, Two, Three, Four […]

Corruption Rules My Soul

Ramblings: October 16th, 2009

The first part of my new five-part webcomic serial, Empire Of Odd, went live this week at Ctrl.Alt.Shift. The webcomic is my contribution towards Ctrl.Alt.Shift’s new anti-corruption initiative and will be appearing exclusively on the web to help promote their upcoming print anthology, Unmasks Corruption. The story takes the recent MP expenses scandal in Britain […]

Me On PSP

Ramblings: August 21st, 2009

Word has broken across the internets this week that you’ll soon be able to read a fine selection of Marvel comics via Sony’s PSP. But why am I mentioning this at E-merl? Well, last year I was hired as a consultant by Sony to help them in the development of their new PSP digital comics […]

Caption, Casita & Twitter

Ramblings: August 15th, 2009

It’s that special comics-in-Oxford time of year again and this weekend will find me off at the Caption small press convention. Do come along and say hello if you’re in the area – I will no doubt be propped up somewhere in the bar either doodling or drinking or possibly both. There’ll also be copies […]

SICAF & Other Derangements

Ramblings: July 20th, 2009

Usually around this time I’d be busy making preparations for my annual pilgrimage to San Diego but this year things are going to be a little different, as later today I’ll be heading off to South Korea instead. The organisers of the Seoul International Cartoon & Animation Festival have invited me across to present a […]

Wave Of The Future

Ramblings: April 30th, 2009

This Saturday I’ve been invited to talk on a couple of panels at Sci-Fi London. The first is on Comics as Sci-Fi Literature and the second is about Robots & Reality. I confess to having little clue as to what exactly qualifies me to talk on either subject, but I’m sure I should be able […]

Spring Already?

Ramblings: April 9th, 2009

I’ve been thinking I should really get a twitter account going, but then I remember how bad I am at both Facebook and keeping this blog updated and I go hide in a cupboard instead.
Anyway! Time for a long overdue update to let people know what’s up in the wider world of E-merl. First off, […]

Endless Stolen Sky

Ramblings: December 11th, 2008

Word comes from Marvel that my Iron Man 2020 serial, Endless Stolen Sky will also be available to read online via their Digital Comics Unlimited initiative on December 24th. Along with the announcement they’ve popped up a page of preview art from the story and a natty little description of the plot, both of which […]
