AdNatz
Instead of a SPX report, like I’ve done in the past, I thought I’d create my first ever AdNatz Competition.
And by that, I’m basically just having fun with my creating a list of some of my favorite things I received at SPX. By winning your category below, you really don’t “win” anything, other than my appreciation that you’ve created such a fine piece of work. So, thanks.
Like the Ignatz Awards, I’ll keep the AdNatz brief. No more than nine items… and kind of random.
AdFave: UNSETTLED by James Hindle. Best packaging. Best minis. Best overall greatness. If I could have only received one mini at SPX, this would have been the one I wanted. Three great minis in one envelope for only $5.
AdMiniWithTheMost: CYCLOPS by Evan Dahm. From the creator of Rice Boy, a mini comic that is minute in scale, but big in content. If you don’t know Rice Boy, you will.
AdHard: 3 STORY by Matt Kindt. Not the only hardback I got, but the first one I read, and really enjoyed.
AdNewness: MANS WALKIN’ by Jose-Luis Olivares. I never heard of JLO before this SPX, but he gave me a bunch of his comics during the show. I like his stuff. My fave is MANS.
AdGirth: A COLLECTION OF MORNING EMAILS by GB Tran. If this “mini” was anything thicker, I don’t know if it could be stapled! Acting as a collection of 8-bittish dootles of his first emails in the morning, I found most chuckle-worthy.
AdMail: MILKY WAY SHUFFLE! by Elio. If Elio had been at SPX, I had planned to seek this out. Since he wasn’t, he dropped me one in the mail, and now I am happy. Great little mini with a distinct voice and a nice doodle in the back!
AdContinuation: BIKEMAN by Jon Chad. Man… I love this comic. Thanks for making these Jon. This is sample book three.
Ad#1: LEGENDS OF SUPER WRESTLE by Andy Kettler & Kevin Panetta. Like a European Los Brothers, this mini is building a universe one page at a time. While not the best it can be yet, I do enjoy reading these, and hope Andy and Kevin keep making them.
AdFun: REMATCH by JP Coovert. A fantastic mini about the Intergalactic Ping Pong Championship. Great production, great fun. JP make some great comics, and this one makes me smile.
AdAlmostNotAMini: COVERED IN CONFUSION by Will Dinski. Does Will make some of the most elaborate minis in this day and age? Yes. This new one follows his previous efforts in creating a great comic that almost feels like a book.
Well, I guess I’ll end it there. Thanks to all that “entered”. You’re all winners in that you’re following your love of making comics, and that’s pretty cool.
