Writing, editing, storytelling, and more from Jim Gibbons
When asked “What’s the policy on a 3-week head start?” by a potential Movember 2011 teammate who was concerned about the fullness his ‘stache might attain in a month, Dan Gibbons had this to say…

Nearly six months after entering the editorial department at Dark Horse Comics, the first book featuring an “Assistant Editor: Jim Gibbons” credit is out now in comic shops. I got my complimentary copy today. Check it out! Continue Reading “My first editorial credit”
I was nearing the end of my recent “Avatar: The Last Airbender” rewatch this evening, when a moment of what I’ll not-so-humbly call “brilliance” came over me. Minor-spoilers ahead, so… if you don’t want “Avatar” spoiled for you, go no further! Continue Reading “My wholly hypothetical “versus/team-up” sketchbook”
Ok, ok, it’s only August, I know. But, between being contacted by the folks at the Movember Foundation about this year’s upcoming campaign and receiving an email they sent out about the success of last year’s efforts… what can I say? I’m getting excited! Continue Reading “Movember 2011… Get ready!”
At Comic-Con last year, I lamented the fact that I didn’t have a smartphone with a decent camera—I saw so much but couldn’t record ay of it. This year, I aimed to take a ton of photos with my still pretty new iPhone. Of course, I got caught up in Comic-Con and didn’t take nearly as many photos as I planned… but hey, here’s what I’ve got. Take a look! Continue Reading “San Diego Comic-Con 2011: The Photos”

A question I’ve been asking myself since I returned from the insane event known as San Diego Comic-Con is “How can one best relay a Comic-Con experience?” The entire convention is a random and intense series of experiences, conversations, happenings and emotions flying by at 100 miles per hour for a entire week. It wipes you out completely and utterly as its five of the fullest days you’ll ever experience, and yet you always leave regretting not being able to do more in the time you’re given there.
Thankfully, I don’t have the hard task of trying to boil down this massive nerd prom into a series of well written articles like so many hard-working journalists I know. I’m allowed to just load all my memories into a metaphorical blog-shaped shotgun and fire them off at the internet haphazardly hoping someone—anyone!—who reads this blog can make sense of them. In the end, these next few posts are as much for the sake of capturing my memories of the events for posterity’s sake as they are to relay my stories to you fine folks. Regardless, I had a wonderful time and here’s my attempt—in vain—to sum it all up. Continue Reading “San Diego Comic-Con 2011: The Memories”
