Tad

Name: Tad Stones

I work in animation and probably created some of the shows you watched as a kid like Rescue Rangers and Darkwing Duck.  In the last few years I've worked with Mike Mignola on a couple of Hellboy Animated movies and may do some Hellboy short subjects in the near future.  I also supervised the direct to DVD feature, Turok: Son of Stone, one of the bloodiest American features you'll ever see.

I've written a couple of short Hellboy stories for Dark Horse, one of which I illustrated.  I'm in the process of completing the first issue of a creator owned comic, Emmaryn.  Kudos to Josh, Ron, Conor, Gordon and friends for creating such a cool place for us to hang out.

Put a little bread under is lip by his gums or peanut butter on the roof of his mouth.   Then the trick is syncing your review to his mouth.  The iDog = awesome.

The iFanboy Letter Column - 08/08/08!

I'm not sure what a "delicate read" is but if you've got it, just dive in.  It's an easy, light read at first before Smith starts revealing deeper layers.  By the time you get there you'll be hooked.  At the end of the huge book you'll be saying, "Is that all?  Can't I have more?"

After San Diego: My New Year's Resolutions

On Aug 7, 2008 11:59 AM

My pitch is sitting in the Image slush pile as we speak.  You currently have more than enough done to submit it.  Slap that sucker in the mail and write a premise and an arc outline for a new comic while you're waiting to hear. As to getting the "right" artist for your work.  Certainly Sean Philips fits Ed Brubaker's writing in Criminal but what if he were paired with...

Obviously you didn't shave your head then but my image of "Lil' Conor" is much like  CHRIS ELIOPOULOS draws you.  I chuckled then literally muttered, "Aw... poor little Conor."  Even though Lil' Conor had no idea of what the future held.   Great article, Conor.

Perhaps someday the iFanboys will become more sedentary in their search for comic excellence but for now they prefer to travel light and battle graphic storytelling mediocrity on the streets.  Besides, they look so cool wearing their Al Franken Satellite Dish Helmets™ http://franken.8k.com/cgi-bin/i/snlpic5.gif

You have to admit there'd be lots of tension if you didn't know whether the car had gotten its long overdue service.  Or what if there's potential of a beautiful relationship at the end of the trip, would it make sense to get a wash and wax.  Or you look between your feet and realize your friend swiped the car mats from YOUR room, the ones autographed by Nascar legend, Dale Earnhardt...

Comic-Con: Filled with yummy goodness

On Aug 1, 2008 9:00 AM

Excellent mini-interviews.  I say that the next time an iFanboy takes a vacation, Sonia fills in on the videocasts.  But then Revision 3 would just steal her to feature on her own show.  Great writing, Sonia.

Comic-Con...and On...and On

I'll disagree with one thing: Saturday turned out to be one of the lighter days, at least on the exhibit floor.  Preview Night was ridiculous.  They need to just call it a five day convention and add programming or get rid of it.  They don't need it as a selling point to sell more four day passes.  Obviously.  Friday was just as crowded as people took a three day weeke...
