The Honeycomb Hideout Episode Special: In the Trenches

Alright, 'Combies! Mark Dudley's taking the reins once again for a special artist-centric episode of the Honeycomb Hideout. Returning to the Hideout is phenomenal artist Sharard Jackson and making her debut in the Hideout is Whitney Cook, an incredibly talented colorist and one of our collaborators on our soon-to-be-completed anthology "Imaginos Plus" as the colorist on Mark Dudley's "Juda Fist".

A great many serious and inane topics abound in this episode as the trio discuss the ins-and-outs of making a kickstarter work, the trials and tribulations of comic book production and politics involved in the professional and fan portions of the comics community. There's likely more there too, so come on down and enjoy!

Kickstarter Update: New Artwork, Prizes Coming Very Soon!

No professional and creative endeavor that's worth a damn ever goes off exactly according to plan. While we were thrilled to have our Imaginos Plus comic book fully funded on Kickstarter, that was just the beginning of one helluva process. Despite some bumps in the road and production changes, we are moving forward nicely.

Custom-designed Juda Fist and Imaginos Team T-Shirt prizes will be shipping out to backers as soon as the end of next week, and we have more prizes (sketchbooks, posters) in the pipeline after that. We've said it before and we can't say it enough: thank you again to everyone that has supported us, financially and otherwise, during this process. We are thrilled to be in a position to produce something real and awesome - hopefully something that we ourselves would want to experience as fans of the medium.

Here's a sneak peak of the superhero action-comedy Candy Coated, which will appear in Imaginos Plus. Hopefully you like the results we're getting as much as we do. Don't forget to click on the link at the bottom of this post: our Kickstarter Update will give even more details and sneak peaks of the colored pages!

Imaginos Plus: Kickstarter Update #20

The Honeycomb Hideout Episode 21: Youmadness Day 3

We finally made it! The final part of Imaginos Workshop's experiences at Youmacon 2013!! That sunday was particularly interesting as some old 'Combies returned to the fray. Jon Fournier and Cory Clements join Joe Cain and Joe Young behind the mic as they banter, observe and oogle. Yes, there was much oogling, even whilst recording.  LOL  This episode also brought about the introduction of a new feature for the Honeycomb Hideout that may become a new convention tradition. We hereby dub it "HCH Uber-BRAWL!"; oh yeah, feel the awesome. This first edition started out as an "East vs. West" style tournament but quickly turned into a geeky battle royale. Give a listen and join in on the fun!

The Imaginos Movie Review: 47 Ronin (Potentially Spoiler-ish)

 Written by Joseph Young

 Edited by J. Albert Cain

A few weeks ago, I went to go see "47 Ronin" in theaters with a fellow imaginos member and thought this movie is sweet as hell,. 2 thumbs up! Then I went to go read the 313 year old true story that the movie was based off of.  I can honestly say that the movie held to its roots very well, though it did make some choices that ...let's say "color" the story a bit.  Because the story is true or mostly true in this case, there are few plot holes, if any, that I can find, though the changes that were made are something to talk about.

::Editor's Note: This is actually a hella spoiler-ific review. So yeah, beware if you want to see this movie in the near future and care about spoilers.::

The Honeycomb Hideout Throwback: The Black History Month show

Well, 'Combies, the Imaginos crew has been hard at work on "Imaginos Plus", but since we didn't want to let Black History Month go by without contributing something, we've got a little treat for you. We're climbing into our Tardis and hittin' that wayback switch and taking y'all back to the second episode of the original Honeycomb Hideout! For this one, we covered a number of different topics ranging from prominent black characters in fiction to the logistics of Marvel vs. Capcom. Yep, it was a fun one, so come on and relive it with us!
