Canister X Mailbag – Blackthorne No. 5 Unboxing – 03022024
Worst. Fan. Ever. This comic got buried in my studio and was recently unearthed. I feel super bad because Colin Work is a great friend and it was one of his comics. Doh!
Anyway, here it is, the unboxing of more BLACKTHORNE comics.

Tub Words
In this episode, Fuchs dissects the word “superhero” and what that really means and if that label applies to every hero out there. Comparing Superman and Batman, Fuchs shares his opinion on who is the superhero and who is not. Fuchs also keenly welcomes opinions from listeners as to what constitutes a superhero and what doesn’t.
Then it’s Story Time about a writer with a peculiar method of executing his stories.

Last Sunday I once again had the pleasure of being interviewed by Travis Bruce of Horror Realm on YouTube. I was previously on his program discussing GIGANTI-GATOR DEATH MACHINE: TRIPLE FEATURE. This time we talked ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY, being a Youtuber and Funko Pops!
As always, it was a pleasure to hang out with Travis as he and I are very similar in terms of our fandom.

This time we got down to business and talked ZOMTROPOLIS: A RECORD OF LIFE IN A DEAD CITY. I was told the interview will air sometime this weekend so watch this space for a posting when it does.
I’ve done a ton of interviews over the years, everything from a fellow creator’s blog straight through to radio and TV. I’m always open to doing more so if you’re interested in having me on your program or website, please let me know. We can talk books, comics, writing and drawing processes, recent releases, superheroes, monsters, and more!
Many author blogs or websites are just about that: writing and books.
Which is 100% fine. I used to do it. Many others I know still do it. But do you see that site banner up there? It says three things: Writer, Artist, Creator. And it’s the latter part that explains why I don’t just post about books and comics (as awesome as those are).
I’ve talked about it before and I’ll mention it again, this site is about the long game in my creator/creative journey. It’s a showcase of the various crafts I practice. It’s also an information and entertainment source for you.
Why the hotwheels? Why the Funko Pops!? Why the action figures and playing cards? Because the film medium is something I also enjoy. My skillset might not be top-notch (most of what I do behind the scenes is based off what I learned in high school multimedia class 25 years ago . . . and it still works).
These creations and showcases are meant to compliment the books and comics and show that those things are made by a fan for the fans.
Some stumbles across one of my posts via a search engine and soon they are whisked into a realm of heroes and monsters and fandom entertainment. Author blogs can be more than just books and writing, if you want.
It’s that simple.
Like I always say, there’s a method to the madness.

So on Friday night, I decided to experiment with YouTube’s live stream feature. I’ve never used it before so hopped on the app and poked at some of the buttons to see what did what and what the interface looks like. Things seemed simple enough and we were able to get things going. To make the video interesting outside of me yapping at the camera and pushing buttons, I gave a brief tour of my home library along with some of the collectibles cluttering the shelf.
The plan is to revamp the studio for 2024 and all those collectibles like Funko Pops! etc. that require a shelf for display will be moved into the studio and current swathe of action figures covering the studio walls will be replaced with some new ones along with the shelving.
I also plan to do some other cool things with the studio when redecorating and I’ll share them with you when I do a 2024 Studio Tour video. Here’s the 2023 Studio Tour.
Anyway, this was the live stream and bookshelf tour. I plan to do more but one thing at a time.
