About Me

After surviving college and a decade of trying to fit in the world of traditional wisdom (as a computer support monkey in one form or another), I first returned to Plan A, established when I was 12... writing. Then in 2008 I found myself in the comics distribution business .

I started self-publishing in 2000, juggling my goals around a full time cubicle job and grabbing what little shreds of sanity I could along the way. Despite life's best efforts to knock sense into me, I somehow managed to start three web comics and a new company.

You can also follow my projects at our website , either of my Comic Spaces , or my blog .

And although it's kind of dusty from lack of updates, I have a City of Heroes fanfiction series on Warcry.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I defy conventional wisdom pretty much every chance I get, so I like people who don't fit profiles (which is ironic since your first impression around here is based on a profile).

A sense of humor is a must. If you are politically correct or thrive on drama, I doubt we'd get along all that well. Liking comics (especially mine!) or any of the other stuff you see in the left hand column is always a bonus.

My other online names
By the way, I have gone by a few different handles over the years from IRC to forums to City of Heroes.

I was known for the longest time as JediJabroni. But after The Rock left wrestling, that name wasn't so funny anymore. I briefly went by Jack Bauer at a couple places, but that was obviously taken more often than not. Most recently I've been known as StarkRavingMad.

Major Love/Hate reactions to GI Joe: Rise of Cobra

I admit that I was one of those fanboys who's been trashing GI Joe: Rise of Cobra before even seeing it. The commercials and trailer look horrid. As it turns out, the movie didn't completely suck. ...

An icon passed away this morning. Just about anyone who's picked up a 20-sider was influenced by him, even if they didn't know him by name. He was the co-creator and co-founder of Dungeons and Dragons...
