Here’s a video intro I did with Newsarama about Power Play and the state of the digital comics industry at C2E2—

Power Play took over the Comixology booth at C2E2!
It’s awesome how supportive Comixology has been of Power Play and the other digital comics work I’ve done, and it’s great to see them showcasing my work so frequently as a prime example of what they offer, and what artists can do with their tech. At the con they had six tablets out showing comics, and three of them prominently displayed my artwork (two with Power Play, one with AvX which I couldn’t get in the same shot).
I vow not to rest until I’ve taken over all six!
Another scene from Power Play #3. That’s Whiskers and Frankie picking on poor Knit Wit. Just a few of the fun and original characters from the series— http://t.co/x6jxU3kR
Also, I’ll be at New York Comic Con later this week— are you guys ready? It’s always an awesome show. I’ll be in Artist’s Alley at table K11— look for me there!
Give a listen to Team Power Play’s appearance on COMIC BOOK CLUB released shortly after the debut of our first preview!
And check out COMIC BOOK CLUB every Tuesday, now at Fontana’s!
Tonight’s guests DANIEL WAY (Deadpool) & Bill Willingham (Fables)!
Gowanus Pete, Ice Queen, West Side Flame and Tektronix from issue 3 of Power Play. Get it here on Comixology— http://t.co/x6jxU3kR
Here are two different versions of the cover for Power Play #3. I kept going back and forth over which one I liked better, and ultimately went with the blue, which more people seemed to be responding to for some reason. I think they’re both pretty cool, though.
Anyway, if you haven’t seen it yet, please check out issue 3 of me and Kurt Christenson’s creator-owned series Power Play on Comixology— http://t.co/x6jxU3kR Easily available on any computer or hand-help device!
I’d love to hear what you think of it!
This is Whiskers, one of the contestants from Power Play. His power is to change size by absorbing rats into his body like a huge, disgusting rat sponge. It’s probably the gorssest power I can think of, but I love it!
Coming up with weird and cool powers for the characters is my favorite part of this series— characters like Whiskers who you could never have in a Marvel or DC book, at least not more than just a one-off gag character. That’s one of the fun parts of doing creator-owned comics— no one can tell me no!
Anyway, if you haven’t seen it yet, check Power Play out on Comixology here— http://t.co/x6jxU3kR
I hope you like it!
Here’s another pic from Power Play #3, which went on sale on Comixology on Wednesday— http://t.co/x6jxU3kR
It’s fun exploring the new storytelling possibilities available on digital platforms like iPods, Kindles, etc, and I’m really happy with how Power Play’s turning out. Give it a read and I’d love to hear what you think!
Power Play #1 broke all the rules and helped pave the way for many Digital Only comics

Comixology is on it’s way to an impressive 100 million downloads. That’s A LOT of comics people have read through their service, and to celebrate their road to nine-digits they’re offering a new free comic every day. It’s pretty cool that my own Comic Power Play is one of the ones they’re handing out, so take the opportunity to download the first issue and give it a try for free.
It’s one of the first comics to truly make use of their digital format and tell a story in a way that can only be told digitally, in a way that really elevates the artform (as opposed to crumby animation that people only pretend to be comics).
So give it a shot, cost-free, and if you like it check out one of the two later issues. I’d love to hear what you think!
I love this shot of a bunch of the characters from Power Play running at you! I love designing the different characters in this story, and coming up with their goofy powers. Mighty Bro (the big guy) and Sticky Fingers (the little guy holding on to him) are probably my two favorites out of this bunch.
You can see em all in action in Power Play issue 3, which just went on sale yesterday on Comixology— http://t.co/x6jxU3kR
Also, As ComiXology closes in on 100 million downloads, they’re offering a free digital comic every day, and today’s free comic is Power Play #1!
So if you haven’t checked it out yet and want to start from the beginning, now’s a chance to do so for free! Get the free download here—
