"Welcome aboard! Love the idea on your blog!"
"Thanks, Gerry! I enjoyed the challenge!"
"These are super clean and tight!Incredibly nice work! Is this with a brush, or is there any digital involved in the process?"
"Sure! Just go to my profile page here and click Photos on the left. Or you can see my Sword comics at www.talenthouse.com/johntompkins and clicking that album."
"Hey, Emily- I know all about the problems of not having the time or the money for this craft. Sometimes the desire we as artists have can feel like a curse because of the constraints that can be placed on us by everyday life. I am plotting my own…"
"This looks very well thought out and interesting. I would love to do a review of this when it is done!"
"Several factors affect my comics reading habits: 1) the cost- whether it is digital or print, I can't pop down $10 or more every month on new titles. 2) There are no comic shops within 20+ miles of where I live- and that means going into Charlotte…"
"Okay, I had some time to think about the question and put my list together- I don't know if the new stuff is all that new, but it's what I have been reading this year-
Doug Tenapel's Cardboard; Hamster Sam's Odd-ventures in Space; Astonishing X-Men…"

"Maibu- thank! Gerard- I gotta admit, the picture was done in one of those smaller sketch journals, and I used a Sharpie to do the stippling. The person and the cross were done with a Fabercastle brush pen. Thanks for looking, commenting, and for the…"
"I read a bunch of comics from Campfire, Toon Books, :01, and whoever else sends me something to review- mostly books intended for the kids or teen sections of the library. Plus whatever we add to our library collection that catches my eye which may…"
"Nice! A little Star Wars and a little Temple of Doom mixed together. "Be quiet foot stool." Instant classic quote!"
"Thanks for the welcome- I do plan to run ideas by the fine folks and pick up things here to continue to improve."

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

When it seemed the battle was won Arthur and his knights journeyed home back to Earth, but the battle was not over for them. The Chaldoreen Commander, Mordrid, set an ambush and cut them down with his legions that he had hidden from them. On the world known as Silarus Prime Arthur, my dear friend fell, so close to the gate that would have sent him home. It was with a heavy heart that I destroyed the Earth's gate, denying Mordrid's armies from taking the earth.
Now it is the year 2264 man has once more learned how to build the portal between worlds and the dark forces make every effort to take the gate on Salarus Prime. Our angelic warriors feel the enemy press harder in their advance but to no avail. The men of Arthur's resting place feel their advance as well and they are not so strong, the enemy crushes them on all sides.
By the King's blessing I have spent the better part of past millennia making more armor stronger than than the first 12, unfortunately there are only 4. Tests equal to those which I tested Arthur and the others. Three armor bearers have been proved worthy, the fourth has yet to come. The Spirit tells me it will be soon and my heart rejoices. The final test shall peak man's curiosity, it shall be as a mystery. It shall be
At this point Merlin's narration ends and the story begins.
Many have heard the legends of King Arthur and his knights and the wise wizard Merlin. However, the whole story has not been told. I, Merlin, called each of them to take their place in the battle against the Chaldoreen after testing them, proving themselves worthy of their gifts. I endowed their armor with power, what was called "mag to fight the Chaldoreen's demon hordes. The battle was fought long and hard across the seven worlds the King blessed with life.
