Nightmare Girl | Nightmare Girl From Dark Matter Comics distributed by Last Gasp Books

When I was at Wondercon, I got an announcement for a new digital comic book series designed to be on the mobile phones like iPhone. It looks like it may be interesting!

Nightmare Girl App Issue # 1 Available May 2010

Nightmare Girl is the story of Lane Devereux, sole heiress to a vast family fortune who finds she is knocking on eternity's door.

The daughter of well-to-do parents, her young life teeters precariously on the brink after an automobile accident claims their lives and leaves her severely injured and comatose.

From the confines of her hospital room we travel with her on sometimes hellish journeys within, in which she is forced to face her fate while on a path of confusion.

Friend and foe alike find themselves drawn to her bedside where their confessions, fears and tears are expressed outwardly to someone they believe no longer capable of comprehending life or it’s complications.

Find the truth out for yourself by taking a journey down the twisting, turning, hellish road that spirals deep within the puzzling and perilous world of Nightmare Girl.

How Deadpool Became the Most Exposed Character in Comics, and Why We're Totally Fine With It - ComicsAlliance | Comics culture, news, humor, commentary, and reviews

I was at Wondercon 2010 and Rob Liefield was at the panel covering X-Men and Deadpool. Liefield co-created Deadpool almost 20 years ago. I admit that back then I never thought Deadpool would ever be as popular as Wolverine and Spider-man but today we are poised for a Deadpool feature film staring Ryan Reynolds and Deadpool appeared in the animated Hulk vs Wolverine last year and the character was also in Wolverine: X-Men Origins. The Interesting thing is that Marvel Comics and Rob Liefield are just as surprised as I am. When asked how and when Deadpool because so popular? They couldn't answer the question. In this interesting post from Comics Alliance the history of the character is explored. Very interesting indeed.

Wondercon 2010

Well, it's been a week since Wondercon 2010 and I miss it. I had a great time. I went to two of the three days. I took my daughter with me (pictured on the left with her new tribble!) on Friday and went with my friend on Saturday. The convention has gotten so big this year I was not able to go to everything. Fortunately through the magic of YouTube I can see some of things I missed. I got some great trade paperbacks and collections. I also was able to get 8 inch Iron Man and War Machine action figures. Here are some of my favorite videos from YouTube.
