Registration is now open for Chicago’s next big thing, C2E2: The Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo. Ray and I are going to be there April 16-18 next year to celebrate what hopefully is the first of many C2E2’s. One reason I’m so excited about this is that its taking place downtown in McCormick Place. I’ve had the pleasure of going to a few events at McCormick, and it is stunning. I can’t wait to see what they do with it.

So if E3 is video game related, and E2 is for comics, what’s E1? I imagine it involves copious amounts of bacon…

In other news, I’ve been handed 22 inked pages of a project penciled by our one and only Raymond Jackson. Would you like to know more? Stay tuned and…

Stay Mighty,

Hi Mighty Misfits! It’s my regret to inform you that we won’t be making an appearance at Wizard World’s Artist Alley this year. This is due in large part to the fact that Wizard World doesn’t exist anymore. Yes, the name of the convention that almost prevented me from going during my pre-teen years due to my mother’s disdain of all things “demonic” has officially been changed to “Chicago Comic Con.” Those of you from the area might remember that Chicago Comic Con was the original name of the show before Wizard Entertainment bought it out in 1997. Even though Wizard STILL owns the show, they are apparently going to try to capitalize on that late-90’s crowd that could afford to buy all six covers of X-Men #1. So no Wizard World means no Mighty Ink this year. That’s not to say we won’t do any conventions at all. Windy City Con is coming up in September, and the cool thing about this one is it’s actually IN CHICAGO. There’s also rumors of something big happening at McCormick Place next year, but that’s still a ways off.

So what does this mean to you? Basically, those of you waiting to purchase your copy of Arsinal 4 or any of the back issues will have to call your local comic shop and make sure they have on in stock for you. Also, you can email me at mightyinkcomics@hotmail.com to get a copy sent directly to your door. Hey, we won’t even charge you for the stamp. More to come soon! Until then…

Stay Mighty,
-Matt Peters

So now we begin the road to Wizard World. Once again we'll have a booth in Artist's Alley with all your Mighty Ink needs! We'll even have a few surprises for you. Some of you may remember receiving (or getting hit in the face with) one of our inflatable fireballs. Well, we'll equip you with something even more awesome to throw at a buddy this time around. Also, keep an eye out for the collected edition...

As a thank you to both of you who still check this site (hi ma!), I'll be posting more frequently here as well as our myspace and facebook pages.

Before you check those sites, pick up Arsinal #4. Some talented people and I worked on it, and its an enjoyable end to a story four years in the making. See you soon.

Stay Mighty,
-Matt Peters

Hey folks,

First, I’d like to thank those who literally provided taquitos this past weekend based on our previous post. They were both delicious and moist. Also, hello to our friends at Lead-Base Comics, my grammar school gym teacher, Mr. Jones (squat thrusts, then dodgeball…always in that order), and last but not least Stephen from Florida who has recently come into the possession of an entire run of Arsinal (except for #4, but more on that later).

Now, to the untrained eye, it may LOOK like we’re not doing anything. Well, it’s quite the contrary! We’re very busy with…things. For instance, Raymond Jackson, our staff artist, has his portfolio up for all to see: http://geocities.com/moontigergraphics/

Archie, who recently graduated from college (congrats!), put together an awesome demo-reel and his own website: www.archnemesis3d.com

Mike, who just began college, has a pretty cool Deviant Art page where he posts a lot of his art from his upcoming book “Trii the Star” as well as non-Mighty Ink related stuff : http://triistar.deviantart.com/

Then there’s me, who is a student of the college of life, I have a spoiler-heavy blog…which I’ll link to after Arsinal 4 comes out. If it makes you feel any better, I’m sure you can find it if you’re bored. In the meantime, don’t click on this: http://mattpeters13x.deviantart.com/

The impending release of Arsinal 4 is nigh! Warn your local comic book shop that you will be shaking your fist at them if you can’t find it in their fine establishment. Say hi for me when you do.

Until next time, Stay Mighty

Hey folks. This past weekend, we attended the first annual (is that possible?) Windy City Comicon. While there, Mighty Ink Comics representatives handed out copies of our hard-to-find “Art of Arsinal” special we released last year. Up until now, the only way to get it was attending Wizard World Texas last year, or going to “Free Comic Day” this past May. If you haven’t seen it, several of Chicago’s best artists contributed to this jam book offering their own interpretations of Arsinal. It also lets you in on some of our upcoming projects featuring these artists. It’s a great book, and I don’t have to feel guilty about saying so since I had less to do with it than usual! Anyway, email us in the normal fashion (mightyinkcomics@hotmail.com ) if you’d like me to send you a copy.

I had a sit-down with one of my favorite collaborators, Willis Price, this weekend about some new projects he’s been developing. Let me just say that what this man has in the works must be seen to be believed. It’s not your normal super hero fare, and I was hard pressed to find a point of reference to compare it to. More on that soon…

In other news, I seem to remember publishing a book a couple years ago. It had something to do with fire…technology… What was it called? Oh that’s right, Arsinal! Seriously, we’re still dedicated to finishing this story, and issue 4 is almost ready to ship. We’ll give you a firm date as we get closer to the actual release, but if you beat Archie at anything on XLA or PSN, it’s because he’s on two hours of sleep, and his hand is sore from Photoshoppery.

For those four of you who still check our site, thanks! I promise we’ll have more for you to look at next time, so bring friends…and taquitos.

Until next time, Stay Mighty!

Please bear with us, we're still under attack by hackers. Everthing should be back to normal shortly.

It’s been so long since we updated the site, you’d think we were involved with the WGA strike, or something. ..

Welcome BACK to Mighty Ink Comics! As some of you probably know, we were hacked yesterday. Some of you also probably already know how that feels, but if you don’t, it’s a lot like someone breaking into your home, hanging up pictures of themselves, throwing their clothes around everywhere, and acting like they’ve lived there all along. Thankfully for us, they forgot to change the locks! Everyone on the staff here was upset about it, so Archie logged some hours last night and kicked those squatters out.

We’re going to debut the new look of the site very soon, but until then, there’s no reason that we can’t give you updates on our current projects:

· Arsinal 4: Art is finished. Final dialogue is being hammered out. Possible June release.

· Art of Arsinal One-Shot: If you live in Texas, you probably already have one (more on that later). Shortages have prevented us from giving this book a wide release, but keep your eyes peeled.

· Dimension: Still in the planning stages. What’s Dimension? Oh…

· Lil’ Lightning: This weekend’s summit should prove interesting…

That’s all the stuff they’ll let me tell you about right now. If you have any questions, and feel like you can get more out of me (hopefully with cake) you can still email us at mightyinkcomics@hotmail.com whenever you like.

-Matt Peters

We're planning a site re-launch! Make sure to check out the new and improved mightyinkcomics.com soon!
