Motor City Comic Con 2014

Its Monday after Motor City Comic Con and all I can say is wow. It was such an amazing time, and I thank all of you that came out. I was most excited of those that took a chance for the first time on my comics, especially the Boomtown Scabs. With the release of Boomtown Scabs #4 in print form this weekend, I began my 10th spring Motor City show. My first in 2005 John and I brought The adventures of Carl #1 mini comic and Boomtown Scabs #1 which showed up at 6 Friday night at the show. Having a new Boomtown Scabs book at this show gave me a similar feeling as having that first issue there. I was so excited about this release I showed it to everyone. I think many saw in me what I truly love doing and that is creating and sharing stories. I hope all the new readers fully enjoy these 4 issues and I am working on Issue 5 this summer and if everything goes as hoped, It will be ready next year as well as a trade collection of all 5 issues including a newly colorized issue 1. Back to the show as a whole, this was my best Motor city in the 10 years I've been doing this show. The fans were abundantly plentiful and also very excited and in great moods. I enjoyed talking to as many as I could and sharing all that is Brett R. Pinson Creations from comics to prints. I got to see many great friends including Heather Kreiter and her My Demon Pony's, Jason Ujvari and his great art, Jay Brant and his heads up studio. I can't forget those that are more family than friends, GW Fisher, Darryl O'Reily, Josh and Kathy Warner and Sean and Stephanie Forney. Motor City is a family reunion of sorts and I don't think I'm alone in thinking that way. This next weekend I will be in Traverse City Michigan for the Cherry Capital Comic Con. This will be most likely the only time this year that Adam Talley and I will be appearing at the same show. This is a great opportunity to get The Expendables Trade and have it signed by both of us. Well its back to work to prepare for the show, Thank you all again to those that were able to come out to Motor City this past weekend and I look forward to seeing you at a future appearance. take care Your pal, Brett R.

Boomtown Scabs #4

Hey Everyone, Boomtown Scabs #4 is off to the printers but as promised, I have uploaded it for you to read for free on my website www.brettpinson.com. I will be at the Motor City Comic Con this coming weekend, May 16-18th in Novi Michigan at the Suburban showplace. www.motorcitycomiccon.com for information on the show including times and ticket prices. The printed edition will sell for $4 at shows as well as the other Boomtown Scabs. I will be working on uploading all 4 issues for digital downloads at $.99 per issue. For those that have not read the series, I write them all to be stand alone adventures. While there is some carry over, there is no spoilers that would ruin it for you to pick up and read issues 1 through 3. Until next time take care and if you haven't like my facebook page: www.facebook.com/brettrpinson which is also accessible through my website www.brettpinson.com Your Pal, Brett
