Well here we are almost at the end of the year, and yikes! No Sam Issue 7! Good grief, Sam's been in the monster's belly for a whole year! Well don't worry, there hasn't been any infighting or blowups over creative differences. 2009 just turned out to be quite the full year. Bil had been trying to sell his condo and buy a house for most of the year, and that will turn anyone's life upside down. Ron got hit with his father's unexpected death in April, and then had his own Halloween wedding to plan afterward! (congrats to Ron and FoonGirl Jo!) But Bil and his wife did finally move into some new digs, and Ron and Jo returned safely from their honeymoon in the mediterranean, so life should be returning to normal for 2010 (we hope!). Work on Issue 7 will resume. The convention schedule will resume, and we're already on-board for the Boston Comic Con in it's new location. We're going to add some web-comics to the site. We'll continue to develop the Card Game, and we may even have something coming to an iPhone near you! So we're sorry to be gone so long, but we're back and ready to bring you more SAM: Fate Revolution!
8/26/09 - Issue 7 progress update
Wow! It's been a heck of a 2009 so far. Full of ups and downs for the creative team. Rest assured, Issue 7 is coming, albeit way behind schedule. Sometimes real life gets in the way of the cosmic super poodle adventures, what are ya gonna do though? Here are some pencil peeks to go with the inks on the Issue 7 preview page.

2/27/09 - Game Testers Wanted!
The first test-play of the Sam TCG was an engaging, addictive experience! The current draft of the rules is a mix of World of WarCraft TCG, Magic, and good ol' Risk. It needs some tweaks, but we think the final release will be a worthy offering to the gaming community. We need volunteers to try out future drafts of the game! If you'd like to help us out and give us your feedback on the game, sign up, and you may be selected to receive a free test set!
10/16/08 - Fan Art!

11/20/07 - Pics from Super Mega Fest
Super Mega Fest was swarming with Batmans!
The Riddler looks a bit outnumbered.
The original Batman, Adam West greets a horde of poseurs gracefully.
The real-live Batmobile was also on display.
That's one cat who can walk across my car anytime
That's one cool Predator, flanked by Stargate dudes.
The 501st seems to be everywhere these days!
That Chewbacca isn't life-sized. It's BIGGER!
Jeez I make one joke about his lightsaber and I get force-choked.
But he was nice enough to pose with Me, Foongirl Jo a couple of criminals.
