Just to say I know what you are talking about ; )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973391912321337390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-20912027527019124602010-03-30T16:10:53.999-04:002010-03-30T16:10:53.999-04:00RE: Galaxy 5 set: They are available at several re...RE: Galaxy 5 set: They are available at several retailers online. Google Star Wars Galaxy 5. Bear in mind though, being collectable trading cards though, buying packs is no promise that you get any particular card you may be looking for.<br /><br />Re: Marvel/DC covers. I have not been asked by either company to do a cover. Not really surprising when you look at the vast talent pool of folks they have worked with that do the superhero thing a lot better than I do.<br /><br />Re: Lieam=Luke Skywalker: While there are things they have in common, I feel like it's less a similarity to Luke and more to following the path of a hero that Joseph Cambell talks about in 'Hero of 1000 faces'. <br /><br />Black Axe in stories: let me put it this way...in every major arc I have planned, the Black Axe will be included/appear/or be mentioned.<br /><br />Chris: Thanks for the link! Those are some great charachter designs!!<br /><br />Morgen: At this time, I can't sell them through the site or blog.

Meaning that i hope he dosen't become too much of a Luke Skywalker kind of character. I really enjoy Saxon, Rand and Kenzie, and hope Lieam isn't gonna become THE main mouse.<br /><br />Also, is the Black Axe myth somthing that will penetrate all Mouse Guard stories?<br /><br />Iknow you can't go into details about future stories, nor would i want it to be spoiled.<br /><br />Sorry about the spelling, i'm from Denmark so...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-40343344724401431372010-03-26T20:10:02.547-04:002010-03-26T20:10:02.547-04:00is there a site where we can get the galaxy 5 set?...is there a site where we can get the galaxy 5 set?

I think a creator should be available at their booth/table as much as possible, take time with every fan, address them with admiration and respect, and thank them for making the 'creator' life possible.<br /><br />Trust me I KNOW I wouldn't be able to do this without fans. <br /><br />I do a mouse doodle in every hardcover I sign. Part of that is so the fan gets something unique, not just a quick signature. But also the time it takes me time to do that, allows me to chat with the fan. To give them personal attenetion.<br /><br />When other fans threaten that time, and tread on a fans interaction with a creator, it turns me off.<br /><br />Same for when a creator signs and draws and chats for hours and gets grief for taking a 5 min bathroom break.<br /><br />I really want every fan to walk away from a con happy. It's the goal I have when I sit down at my table.DPetersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18313044038296524139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-62995807771080965802010-03-24T16:10:22.996-04:002010-03-24T16:10:22.996-04:00Everyone has their own boundaries when it comes to...Everyone has their own boundaries when it comes to cons, it's good to see a comic artist express their feelings on the matter so fans understand where they are coming from. I would never want to see a guest made uncomfortable by a fan but the reverse too, guests also must remember they have someone in front of them who could have travelled quite far to see their "hero", paid money to travel/stay/etc and they aren't making money from coming to the show. They want to have a great experience meeting someone they admire so when guests are narky back at them, it's a two-way process, and fans don't deserve that either. <br /><br />Both David and Guy have opinions on the matter, those should be respected, so know their boundaries and be part of making their time enjoyable as well as your own. One bad experience with a fan can make some guests very shy of conventions (and the opposite of course fan<->guest). We all lose out.<br />But informative read Peter, thanks. And yes, it would be nice for all fans to remember the hygiene one - I work in a college with lots of students and colds get passed around very quickly. I also carry a small Lynx deoderant spray where-ever I go ;)Tim Bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994766057805246415.post-16705847049262289902010-03-24T08:38:04.959-04:002010-03-24T08:38:04.959-04:00I like your con etiquette guide.
