Adam Atherton, a good friend of mine just so happens to be a phenomenal artist. He's a comic book nut and now he's possibly on the verge to be a comic book writer.
Check out Zudacomics.com, his comic Bleed is on display there. Sign up for a free account, read his story and vote for it. If he wins the competition he will get to publish the thing.
Zudacomics isn't just a rinky dink operation either. It was set up by DC Comics. That's right, the birthplace of Batman, Superman and Watchmen!
It's a start and I wouldn't schill for his work if I thought it was crap. It's moody and well drawn. It's more of a little taste than the full gamut of what's to come but it has the potential. It's a pretty cutthroat competition so he needs all the help he can get. Take a couple minutes out of your day and vote for him, it means the world to him.
Also, check out his blog. It's hard-linked in his name and is in my bloglist at the bottom of this page but hey, a third way wouldn't hurt. It's AdamAthertonPresents.blogspot.com.
Cheers.
