September 08:
Arnold news and comic book studio talk.

Someone please tell me that my page loads faster now -- I spent more than 5 hours transferring files to my host's new datacenter and the last thing I want to hear is that there is *really* no pronouced difference.

Thanks to everyone who bought and had their copies of Arnold's After Eden signed last night! We were very happy, and kinda overwhelmed, with the turnout. (:

In case you missed it, you may take a look at the pictures to put faces to the names I always mention here. [Go now, go.]

*Ramon, Neva, Chris: we missed you guys! Thanks for the sms messages, though.

Gee, my Arn can never seem to escape the limelight:

Fantasy makes Arnold Arre, and Arnold Arre makes fantasy exceedingly well. The 30-year-old Filipino master comic-book artist...has trained his sight on creating a cortege of creatures from the netherworld of Philippine mythology...not for another best-selling comic-book series but for a best seller of another kind ñ the 5th Philippine Web Awards.

Off the Hey Comics egroups:

Mango Comics, a division of Yonzon Entertainment Syndicate (YES!), will
release the first story arc of Mars Ravelo's Darna under its Mango
Classico line this December. The first three-issue Darna story arc
features new work from Ryan Orosco, Lan Medina, and Gilbert Monsanto,
who have done work for the Big Three.

Ryan Orosco discreetly showed some of the pencilled stuff to Arnold and me a few months ago and I remember how happy we were to note that young and new comics studios (Culture Crash, Yes!, Lyndon's, etc) are sprouting all over. Arnold's gang alone is made up of little studios that are bursting with creative energy, and more importantly, get things done. Diba Dean, Jayce?
