This is the glorious piece that Rueben and Aaron M. commissioned for me at Comicon this year and I couldn’t be more pleased with it! This is just another way in a mountain of ways that the cast and crew of The Variants show their love for their fans. Definitely stop by their booth when you see them and chat them up and pray they’re doing their usual “Draw Anything For Money” promo. They will draw you anything. Anything.

Comicon 2010: Post Show!

mutantaday — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:27:36 +0000

Ok gang, there is some good news and bad news!

The good news; we had a wonderful time at this years Comicon hanging out with the cast of The Variants and meeting artists Jaime Mendoza and of course our favorite artist Cat Staggs!

Artist: Jaime Mendoza

Aaron M picked up a massively awesome signed print of Zatanna by Cat Staggs as well as a series of 8 X Men prints!

Zatanna by Cat Staggs

Art by Cat Staggs

I was fortunate enough to get an 11×14 original inking of the X Men vs. Dr. Doom from Jaime Mendoza!

Art & Inking by Jaime Mendoza

I also got some great original art from Joe and Ken from The Variants of Storm and Zatanna! Such a deal at a dollar a piece! [to be shown later!]

Ok the bad news; [insert frown face]. MaD did lovely interviews with both The Variants and Cat Staggs…however the sound was not so spectacular amongst the heavy crowd. However we will indeed post the HELL out of them cause we love ‘em both! [Just waiting for the edit] We hope everyone had a blast at this years Comicon in Richardson, Texas. We know we did, and can’t wait for the next convention!

Dallas Comicon- Pre-Show!

mutantaday — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 07:42:21 +0000

Ok guys, it’s that time of year again! Comicon @ the Richardson Civic Center, which so happens to be our favorite event in the Dallas- Fort Worth area, has returned! It is sure to be the best one yet!

As per usual we have our favorites we are excited to see again!

Cat Staggs with Rueben & Aaron M

Last year we had the pleasure of meeting artist Cat Staggs, and this year we will have the opportunity as well to meet, talk, and buy a print or two! You should definitely do the same!

Adam Hughes

We are also excited to see Adam Hughes who will be joining a a great line up of artists as well as a cast of celebs including Charisma Carpenter, Adam West, Daniel Cudmore, and Sean Patrick Flanery! Fun stuff for sure!

And of course the cast of The Variants will be there promoting their web series & hopefully be free to give us a short but always fun interview! Bring a dollar as Ken and Joe will be doing commissions!

WOOT!

The Variants Episode 6: The Heist

mutantaday — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 06:31:56 +0000

“Kiss the ring Care Bear!”…”You’re not wearing a ring”…”Not on my finger”

Episode 6 of The Variants is funny from start to finish with a build on the friendship between Keli & Joe as they venture to other local comic shops to recover a comic that was mistakenly sold by Joe to a Ally Sheedy-esqu customer [circa The Breakfast Club pre makeover]! Check it out!

ComicCon 2009 & The Variants!!!

mutantaday — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 03:45:41 +0000

Smack in the middle of summer, Mutant A Day wouldn’t be caught without its yearly over dose of the Dallas Comic Con at the Richardson Civic Center! While there we met artist Brandon Peterson of Uncanny and Ultimate X-Men as well as Witchblade hottie, Yancy Butler!

The most exciting part of our venture was catching up with Richard, Joe and Keli from Zeus Comics to talk about their new web series The Variants which you can catch on their Youtube site!

It makes our nether-regions shed a tear [whiink] of joy for this comic-nerd centric show about a group of comic-shop clerks and the daily grind[s] that come with it. Check out the interview!

We look forward to the new episodes and are lucky to have some home town super heroes who’ll bring the funny along with excellent customer service!
