Introductions

I've restarted my blog. First off my old blog was suffering from technical difficulties so I just shot it in the head. Now its dead.My name is Jon Zamar, I'm a big comic book geek, I read everything thats drawn sequentially. Though I prefer the mindless action of the 90's Superhero in-your-face comics! EXTREME!!! Wish more comics were drawn that way today, of course having a good writer never hurts, mix the two together and bam! a great read. heh. I also read Manga, which is kind of redundant to say since its also comicbooks only imported from Japan. I really dont see why people would want to separate the two, its like with the cartoon strips, they are treated like different things when its the same medium in a different format. Aside from being a fan I also try to do my own comicbooks. I hang out with a swell group of creators who write and draw their own stories. We are known locally as Point Zero, though most of the indigenous comic book afficionados would better know us as staffers from the defunct comic book magazine Culture Crash Comics. At present we have finally graduated from publishing photocopied mini-comics to offset publishing our products. We have done three so far, my personal fantasy epic in the making, Digmaang Salinlahi's 4th issue (go to http://minsan.deviantart.com for more info on this), an anthology from us and other local creators; Fresh, and Michael David's Kubori Krash, a celebration of 10 years of Kubori Kikiam, his indie success story. Aside from our more lucratively published works Point Zero is also home to Joanah Tinio's Cresci Prophecy, a great fantasy comicbook. Check all our books out! heh. My day job is running a studio for an American publisher, it's a pretty swell job, hectic at times and stressful as hell. Doing work for them leaves me little to no time to do other work so if you see a work of mine on a comicbook shelf please do me the courtesy to atleast leaf thru it, it means the world to me if people at least show interest in my work. I work for Seven Seas Entertainment, what my boss would call the Spunkiest Manga Publisher in America. Its a cool company, run by really cool folks, you could check us out at http://www.gomanga.com. Ok I guess that concludes my first ever post for this brand spanking new blog. In the next days to come I'll upload more mindless entries and maybe some other stuff.... Jon Zamar
