Welcome to another haunting edition of MHO!!!! Well, last time I said I would type up my traditional thoughts on the year that has gone and past by of the local comics scene, so let's get it going, shall we? Agreed!
So, 2005 proved to be an interesting year! From new comics such as Nahiros, to returns like Angel Fuentes' Santa Cristal, to regular mainstays from Dreamgrafixs. Each year there seems to be more and more creators coming out! Which is great, the "industry" is growing at a slow but steady pace!
I mean, in 2004, there wasn't much noise asides from the usual suspects, but 2005 was just filled with variety! There was the online return of the manga filled Cold Race and even a preview to Zahira 2! From manga we go to the more old school train of thought, like Trinity's Tiempo, Furia, Hellion, a whole slew of titles! There was also the debut of Darkgrafixs. Many of the titles where hits, others where misses, but that's the way the ball bounces sometimes! But as good as 2005 was, 2006 looks like it'll be KILLER!
Why, you ask? Well, how about I mention some of the titles lined up, hmmmm? OK! Well, there's:
1- New Wave from Kid Design Studios
2- Heroes Rebored from Writer's Block
3- A Self Portraite Comic from Social Myth/Writer's Block
4- Borrero from HJ Comics
What about the established studios, you ask? Well, there's:
1- Novusgenesis Hype Season 2 from 22 Astral Doors/Dreamgrafixs
2- Santa Cristal #3
3- Yenny from Alias, which eventually will ome out as a regular comic with stories, not just reprints of the strips
4- Darkgrafixs
5- Nahiros
And a whole SLEW of titles more! Oh, and a litte comic named "Fred Peterson, The Mighty Warlord Book One: Beginings", and a "Lance Danger: Behind the Dangerzone" one-shot.... ;P
So, it looks like inspite of all the contreversy that many people like to attach to the local scene from all the "egoes" and "in-fighting", things look like 2006 is going to be a huge year!
Not to mention the absolutely groundbreaking "Comics Makers" podcast from David Arroyo and Carlos Mangual! You can download and listen to it here!
So, looks like the local scene is going to continue making noise! So, everybody, let's keep our eyes wide open for all this evolution oflocal comics!
Anywho, that's what I have to say for now. Stay tuned for the following MHO! What'll I type about? Well, there's only one way to find out, and that's to check up on here regularly, BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHA! Take care guys, 'till next time, see's ya when I see ya's, and God bless!
