STEVE JOBS PASSES AWAY Steve Jobs died today of Pancreatic cancer. This is sad news for many, and we are no exception. All of our work: this website, Pandora's Soap Box, our merchandise, the new Draven book, is created on a Mac. So we remember Steve in this special edition of Pandora's Soap Box. Laugh, Love, Remember. Thank you, Steve. You were crazy enough to actually affect change in this world. ~47  NEWS 10/04/11 JOIN THE STREET TEAM!

Check it out! ~47 NEWS 9/14/11 Pandora's Soap Box goes vector! Starting with the 13th installation of Pandora's Toon-a-day challenge, Pandora has gone vector! The 14th installation is available! Also, we're going to be producing some Pandora merch to celebrate breaking 100 hits! Thanks! ~47 NEWS 8/31/11 Mr. 47's TOON A DAY Challenge! I have been given the ultimate challenge: to balance senior year insanity with a toon a day challenge. Aside from juggling thesis, regular assignments, and any other projects I may have slated for the year, I am now morally obligated to create one cartoon a day.
But why would you do something this insane?
One, I am in fact insane. Two, I lost my hard drive this summer and as a result Pandora is seriously behind schedule and thus I want to use this as a means to catch up. So starting tomorrow, I will be posting 5 episodes of Pandora per week rather than its usual weekly/bi-weekly publishing schedule for the next 16 weeks. So for all you Hellspawn Underground fans (and those who will be after reading this, nudge nudge) get ready to read a shit ton of gut busting social satire. As long as humans continue to be as stupid as they are I will never run out of material.
For those who don't already have the link, you can read Pandora here: http://www.webcomicsnation.com/draven/pandorasoapbox/series.php
The new episode will be up by end of the day!
~47 NEWS 2/24/11 PANDORA'S SOAP BOX A new episode of Pandora's Soap Box is up and running! This one speaks out about how social networking goes too far. ~47 NEWS 2/17/11 JUMP WILL LIVE ON Well voting closed recently on the 'Create a Superhero' invite for The Stan Lee Foundation and while the winners are waiting to be announced, my piece didn't make it into the top twenty, which is a prerequisite for the winning qualifications. But all is not at a loss. There is still the fact that I am piecing together a portfolio for Todd McFarlane himself, the man behind Image Comics. Aside from that, I have my own empire to build and operate. So in light of the aftermath of this endeavor, I have decided to develop my character Jump further. Certainly with wrapping up one degree, prepping for another, running a web series, taking steps to finally publish my first graphic novel, and with another one in queue when it's done, adding another series to the pile seems crazy, but then again I never said I wasn't. I put a lot of effort into developing that character for The Stan Lee Foundation and it seems like such a waste to let it fall by the wayside despite the results of the creative invite. This decision is also a new direction for Action Adventure Comics, as I have an unofficial "no superheroes" policy and try to stick with alternative comics and graphic novels. One of my professors always tells me that doing the things you don't necessarily "want" to do can only strengthen the things you do want to do, so what the hell. I have no solid dates as to when Jump will first hit the web, or the presses depending on what direction I want to take. I really want to work my way through the queue of scripts I have already piled on my desk before I start adding more, but I do ensure you that I will develop a story line for this character and make sure I get good use out of the effort I put into developing him. I want to work on finalizing not only his look, but some of his other information as well as take some time to ponder a script before I finalize my commitment to this project. Rest assured that there will eventually be a Jump storyline, regardless how I choose to deliver it. I will make another announcement when it comes time to begin plotting the storyboards and begin production. Stay tuned. ~47 NEWS 2/11/11 PANDORA'S SOAP BOX It's updated! =D G.F. Vulture, this one's for you! ~Mr. 47 NEWS 1/29/11 PANDORA'S SOAP BOX This is the newest web series from Action Adventure Comics, hosted on WCN and Tooncasted right here at the WEBTOONS link above. It's taking off like wildfire. Pandora is a series of shorts and one shots of satire and social commentary, with the primary focus being the things that really irritate a cynic and misanthrope like myself. Here are some of the things being said by our readership: "Pandora's Soap Box is simply awesome." - Frederick Madden "The last two episodes of Pandora's Soap Box were hilarious!" - G. F. Vulture, Gyps Fulvus If you haven't had a chance to read Pandora's Soap Box, it's not too late to catch up. Go to the WCN link, accessible via the tooncast, and click the "Table of Contents" link above the cartoon frame. This series is currently scheduled to update weekly or bi-weekly every Friday. ~Mr. 47 NEWS 1/21/11 THE STAN LEE FOUNDATION I know I said I was moving the news page, but I just had to post this here! I just submitted a superhero idea for The Stan Lee Foundation and I need supporters! Please go to my submission page and click "Support". When voting begins you will be sent a reminder to come and vote for my submission!
Thank you! NEWS 1/20/11 ACTION ADVENTURE COMICS BLOG Until
I can find a way to source a direct news feed without having to edit
this page, I am moving the Action Adventure Comics News to this
Blogger page. I will work out a way for that blog to directly feed to
this site somehow so that I can update things far easier. Until then
please visit http://actionadventurecomics.blogspot.com for all your AAC updates!!! ~Mr 47 News 1/14/11 Cover Update For Draven!! I've updated the cover in a mock up to show front, back and spine. As it is a mock up, some of the information is for show only (ISBN, lulu logo, price, etc).
I
just wanted to add a note, as many people seem to wonder about this.
Yes, this character does bare striking resemblance to The Crow. This is
intentional. James O'Barr is a huge inspiration of mine and I wanted to
kick off my career with a tip of the hat to him. I contacted his staff
back in '06 when I first made this concept public and I got the green
light to pursue it. ~Mr 47 Cover Art For Draven: The Vampire Chronicle: I just finished the cover design for the graphic novel! One more step closer to finishing the book!! Here's the best part, I'm going to let you see it!  There you go!!! Enjoy! If you want to see how it was made, then click here to read the Facebook Note on how I did it step by step! ~Mr 47 News 11/22/10 Draven on the Rise and New Material I'm reworking the mechanics of Draven: The Vampire Chronicle with intent of releasing the completed series as a graphic novel and I've developed this recent character study of the central character:  As you can see, it's come a long way from the old stuff, and I am really excited to get back to working on it! New Material In the meantime, I am developing some new material that I can do as a small series between academic projects. There isn't an official title yet, but it will be a series of social commentaries and observations (i.e. I'd love to beat the shit out of people who excessively use the word "like"). It will be a series of one to two page cartoons each, something feasible for my current workload. So stay tuned for more information on that! - Mr. 47 Future Updates
These are just a few ideas I have for the website. As I said I have much in mind for this site, and much to come in the future! Keep checking in for progress and updates! - Mr. 47 Free Shipping Sale! We're
