Martin Maenza

World of Maenza: Online #10

Fresh off his triumphant California tour (otherwise known as a family vacation), Martin's back with new World of Maenza goodness. The classic tales of WOM continue with two new Protectors stories..."Coming and Going" and "Trouble Starts with Titan". As a supplement to the tales, he presents us with a write-up of Titan, The Ape-Man. And get out your sunscreen, because Martin's got the low-down for you on his California trip and his journey to Comic-Con International in San Diego!

Dave Mattingly

Since it seems to be the season for Cons, Dave hits us with the details on the games he ran at Origins in Columbus, Ohio--"Felt vs. Plastic: Muppets vs. Toy Story", "Build N Brawl: Iron Chef" and "The Algernon Files: Something Sinister This Way Comes"--plus a preview of the pair of games he'll be running at GenCon. He's also got the latest Blackwyrm Games news on the status of the Hero Games write-ups from the Algernon Files, and presents us with the armored aquatic sensation, Captain Crustacean!

Michael O'Connell

The "F" Word #9

The lastest Forte universe goodies are in, and this time the herald of Forte fun, Michael O'Connell, brings you three new installments in the "Hotline" storyline, where more illegal Forte phone fun continues--"Hotline 3: 976-FORTE", "Hotline 4: Midnight Caller", and "Hotline 5: Dateline". Plus, another massive injection of amazing Forte art, including works commissioned at the San Diego Comic-Con.

K.C. Ryan

Son of Thunder #8

Oh, yes, Americana is back! As is K.C., who brings you three new exciting tales from America's favorite heroine..."Won't You Dine With Me" (where Americana has a very "Executive" dinner invitation), the exciting "Mistress of Shadows", guest-starring fellow ConTinuum heroine Cameo (a "Cameo" appearance...get it?), and a 4th of July tale (who deserves one more?) called "A Capitol Fourth". Plus, new additions to the Americana art gallery...including one from 'Times founder Tim Watts!
