Christmas is just around the corner and as such the colors red and green are everywhere. Yet, instead of Santa’s suit and elves’ uniforms, my thoughts are drawn to the signature dual colors of incredible 3-D comics, and the work of third dimension master Ray Zone! I’ve been looking back upon Zone’s work quite a bit recently in light of viewing the 3-D Thomas Jane and Timothy Bradstreet film Dark Country at the 2010 Long Beach Comic Con. Zone worked as the 3-D consultant on the highly entertaining supernatural...

That’s right everyone, we’ve still got LBCC content for you!  LBCC was a smaller convention (at least compared to SDCC) and was almost entirely artist alley and we got some pretty incredible convention sketches from them. One of the best souvenirs one can take from any comic convention is convention sketches.  At artist alley the creators from some of your favorite comics will do sketches or commissions for you.  Some charge for their sketches, others will offer them for free.  Some artist will do smaller, quick...

The second annual Long Beach Comic Con has now come and gone and it is with a huge measure of relief that I can say that it has not merely bested last year’s event, but gave me every reason to believe it will continue to move in a positive direction as well. And, as strange as it sounds, I’d say it topped last year’s inaugural LBCC just by simultaneously growing larger yet staying essentially the same: by keeping the focus on sequential art, the people who make it, and the fans who love it. The comic book Gods...
