Hurm News: Local Heroes Reviewed by The Noob News

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 16:26:32 -0600

Our new book, Local Heroes: About Time, was recently reviewed by the good folks at The Noob News.

Here's the link to that review: thenoobnews.com/reviews/comics-reviews/local-heroes-about-time-review/.

Forgive me as I spoil the end of the review for you: "Overall a very good comic especially considering it is a collection of weekly strips. It could easily have become disjointed since it is a collection but they all play together nicely and come together to tell an interesting story."

Thanks for the review, Noob News!

Hurm News: I Had a Weird Dream Last Night

Sun, 30 Jan 2011 17:54:56 -0600

The dream I had last night took place in some kind of a sitcom or prime time dramedy. It centered on a main guy that was a sort-of leader of a group of regulars. Something has always been wrong with the main guy's arm. There's a lot of anticipation and speculation, but the audience doesn't know what yet. The regulars include the main guy's annoying, bossy sister. Her motivations are unrevealed up to this point. Mostly, she exists to be pushy--especially when her brother isn't around. She gets audience irritated with her and frequently asks, "What's her problem?"

Local Heroes: And So Ends Storyline 11

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:11:26 -0600

Although Storyline 11, "Local Villains," is over, Squire and his friends learned some important lessons about the hazards of time travel and parallel universes.

So, what's next for Squire and the UNIONS Local 37 super-team? Well, the strip will be on a bit of a hiatus for a few months. I'll be working on turning strips 124 to 208 (that's 84 strips!) into the next Local Heroes comic book. I'm dabbling with the idea of making the comic a full color production, but that will add some extra time to the whole project.

Besides Local Heroes, I'm also going to work on an 8-page Heroes Incorporated™ story, and maybe get back to one or two other comic projects I've been keeping on the backburners. Check back every so often, as I'll post updates about those projects now and again. And for other randomness, follow me at www.twitter.com/nobody/
