A Word From One of the Creators
From the desk of Eric Ratcliffe
You ever imagine what you’d be like as a comic book character or a cartoon character? I have since I was a little kid and honestly this is what you’re going to get here. Bill is the Bud Abbot to comic me’s Lou Costello. There is a great friendship between the two of us and it’s truly a blast to be co-writing this web comic with him. Basically, I pitched the idea of a web comic to Bill who agreed that it would be fun and soon we had the first 12 strips mapped out. You’ll be seeing a lot of crazy things here from arguments over Deadpool and the New Avengers to some very interesting costume changes. Things start off very slow this first month but don’t expect things to stay like this for long.
Chad Strohl is an amazing artist as evidenced here and Liam Bradley is lettering and coloring the heck out of this. Wouldn’t replace them with anyone else.
By the way regular me actually loves Bug in Guardians of the Galaxy. Comic me likes to drive Bill crazy. So enjoy New Comic Day, I’ll be talking to you guys next week!

Now this is cool. Authentic F-4 Phantom Jet Fighter and B-52 Stratofortress seats made into office chairs? Yeah that’s cool. Techs repair and clean up the ejection chairs and after some custom work these awesome office chairs are the result.
The NC Take: Great style, great design, great quality. If we’ve ever seen anything that deserved a Necessary rating this is it.
Well Pentax has a tagline that states “Be Interesting” well this is certainly interesting. Pentax claims the new Optio W80 is Waterproof, Coldproof and Shockproof. 12.1 megapixals, and wide angle 5x internal optical (AKA Real Zoom) Zoom.
The NC Take: Well we’ve not seen these in any store yet, nor have we tested it yet. However if it does half as well as they claim and gives us a good shot, this may very well be the next great thing. Pentax isn’t a brand I have a lot of time in with, but I’ve heard good things and they seem to be doing some very cool things. All in all, I’d say this could be Very Cool. There’s also not much in the way of competition for a camera like this, which is good for Pentax. Design, is also great, as it looks like it can take what you can dish out.
There’s a lot of gamers out there still into the board scene. Well it can be hard for those who still love the turn based RPG D&D style games to find interesting high detailed figurines. Look no further friends, the crew over at Pig Iron Productions has you covered. High detail, high quality, and lots of options. Read more »
First let me say how sorry I am to be running this weeks after my talk with Daniel, I simply got behind here and time slipped by. However that being said, this is a wonderful interview, which I was very excited about as I am a very big fan of Daniel’s writing. Deadpool is right now for the first time in the books history, one of my favorite reads, which I look forward to ever month. I could go on, however I think what you came here for was my talk with Daniel, so here we go! Read more »
