The Plot Thickens! & OMG What The Hell Is That In The Closet?!

Things heat up this week in PRAY FOR DEATH! We learn a little about the killer's past, Jenkins tracks him to his home and then she finds a little surprise in his bedroom closet. Check it out as usual at: http://zudacomics.com/pray_for_death

There are only two more updates and you'll definitely want to be caught up when those arrive on September 1st and 15th.

In addition, I've been wondering how to get a gauge of how many people read P4D regularly and what they think of it. Then I realized we have these handy favorites meters and star ratings! I suspect a lot of you are like me and just want to read your comics without clicking on a lot of unnecessary stuff. However, it would really help us get an idea of how many readers we have if you could take the time to click the button on the right side of your monitor that says, "Add to favorites." Also, if you have not given us a star rating, please do so by clicking on the appropriate star. I recommend the 5th star. And those of you that have rated us, but think we deserve more or less stars. Please adjust your rating. These tools help us to see what you think and sometimes I suspect they are a little under used. Don't be afraid to leave us your comments as well. We always love to hear what you have to say.

Thanks,
Nick

San Diego Photos and Links!

San Diego! What a ride! I had a wonderful time with Dani! He was my internet friend before coming to America and now he is like family.

If you've ever been to SDCC then you know it's a madhouse. There's lots to do and we did lots! We signed Zuda sampler comics at the DC booth everyday while the Watchman trailer played on the TV's above. I still have the smashing Pumpkins song stuck in my head. We had dinner with the Zuda crew while many spirits were imbibed. We did some interviews. We sat on the Zuda panel. We saw lots of friends. We had a discussion with Marv Wolfman about how much better the convention would be if it were in Hawaii. And most importantly, we were polled on our cookie preferences by Bill Willingham.

Some of the friends I saw are: Daniele Serra! Bobby Timony, Peter Timony, Danna Bremer, David Gallaher, Steve Ellis, Jeremy Love, Shanda (Jeremy's Love), Tony Trovarello, Johnny Zito, Sterling Gates, Ron Perazza, Kwanza Johnson, Richard Bruning, Jeff Carlisle, Josh Williamson, Brian Stempien, Kroze Kresky, Jimmy Palmiotti Chachi Hernandez and more!

Some of the great people I met are: Ben Templesmith, Ashley Wood, Canaan Grall, Sheldon Vella, Joss Whedon, Marv Wolfman, Bill Willingham, Cecil Castellucci, Vinnie (I forget your last name, but you do great art on Dear Dracula), Jamal Igle, Chris Ryall, Jim Valentino, Lindsley & Alvie (AKA Power Girl & Lex Luthor) and above all else, Daniele Serra!

Here are some great links for those of you that missed it:

San Diego here we come!

Some of you may have heard about this little gathering of comic book fans and pros that occurs every July in San Diego, California. I will, of course, be attending again this year. It's not too difficult for those of us that live in southern California to make the trip. Those that live farther away have a more difficult time with the cost of travel and the need to get time off work.

If you came to WonderCon in San Francisco or the New York Comic-Con, then you probably noticed that poor Nicky Doan didn't have his artist with him. Well San Diego is going to be different! That's right folks, Daniele Serra will be flying in from Italy to join in the largest comics & pop culture convention in the world. He and I will meet in person for the first time two days before the convention kicks off! It may go without saying, but I'm excited! I hope you are too. Dani and I both look forward to meeting all the Zuda fans there!
