Mary, Mary...

 Today's blog post is a big shout out to my friend Michael Colbert, whose comic book Crazy Mary is in the top paid books list in the Comics Plus app. Artwork is by J.K. Woodward (of CSI:NY, Fallen Angel, and Star Trek TNG/Doctor Who: Assimilation2), William Blankmanship, and Ryan Sargent. Here's the description:


Don’t call her crazy to her face. Several years ago Mary was a professional soldier who volunteered for an upgrade program dubbed “Project Dragonfly”. The project upgraded the subjects with enhanced strength, speed and combat ability.
It didn’t go well for Mary.
Shortly after the upgrades Mary started seeing things… insane things. A world of melting walls and living fire, vortexes of thought and colored radio waves, sentient metaphors and beings that existed in an invisible layer of reality. She could communicate with these beings. She made deals with some of them.
Or she had simply gone insane.
Either way she was useless to the project and the military so she was cut loose and vanished shortly thereafter.
A few years later she re-emerged in the New York area of Megalopolis as a “freelancer” specializing in bounty hunting and search and rescue. Her upgrades give her an advantage in competing against other freelancers, Lawcom and her targets… most of the time. She can still see the weird layer of reality and her trinity of supernatural advisers helps … most of the time.
Or she could just be crazy and very lucky.
Or a bit of both.

To date there are four issues of Crazy Mary, and you can read the 0 issue for free here.

Star Trek Art Auction for a Good Cause

My friend Michael Colbert, author of the comic book Crazy Mary, writes to say:

Hi Lou

I was hoping you could mention something on your blog and any other place you connect with SF folk.

April and I are involved in "Relay for life” an organization dedicated to raising money for cancer research. JK Woodward recently did a Star Trek book for IDW: Alien Spotlight – KLINGONS! He has donated an original page from that work for auction on E-Bay. This thing has Klingon war ships, Enterprise B, Kang and all done by JK’s brilliant hand. The page will be signed by JK and every dime will go to my wife’s charity goal. She just lost her grandmother on Monday to cancer so this has special meaning to her.

The e-bay link: And April’s link is at the bottom of the email. This is a win-win for everybody and it would be great if you told your legion of followers to bid on it.

Hope all is well in your corner of the world.

Thanks man!
MIKE
ROCK!!!

Please visit our personal page to find out more about our fight with cancer!
Mike and April are good people. JK Woodward is a great artist. This is a good cause. So, ahem, "legion of followers," go do some good. At the very least, help spreading the word would be appreciated.
