Lost in the shuffle of Free Comic Book Day and other such festivities is news that a new issue of DC Conspiracy's Magic Bullet is out! Issue 6 of the Washington, DC-area free comic newspaper in on stands now, and it features an oversized, one-page comic written by me that you can read by clicking the image above.
My entry is titled "The Naked Man at the Edge of Time", and it's drawn by Kurt Belcher with inks by Jonathan Brandon Sawyer and greyscales by Tom Ziuko. It's about a guy who time travels, but has to do so naked. That's...pretty much all you need to know about it. I got the idea while reading an issue of Dark Horse Presents, specifically a story titled "The Marked Man". I just glanced over the title and had to look at it again, because I mistook "Marked" for "Naked". Who knows what kind of Freudian analysis that conjures, but let's just take it for what it's worth. Anyway, I thought the idea was funny, so here we are.
The whole issue turned out really well, if I can say so. I love the format and I love the idea of a bunch of creators getting together to work on something of this scale. It's pretty neat.
Also in the issue, FUBAR bigwig Steve Becker gets inadvertently name-dropped in a story...about...heck, it's a comedy story about a time traveler. Oh well.
This issue also features an ad for Franks and Beans! That's right, we convinced someone to actually advertise for our Internet show. I'm sure this will drive viewership through the roof...I mean, if it wasn't already. THE ROOF, I TELL YOU!
I do have plans to do more with the Naked Man. Okay, that sounds a little weird, but you know what I mean, right? The Naked Man idea. That doesn't sound any better. Whatever, there are still plans for a full length (that sounds bad in this context as well) story later this year. I'll post updates...whenever.
