Greetings guys!

First of all, hope all of you will have an awesome 2012! May it be filled with success and whatnot’s! Also, this past January 1st, Wyliman has been online for 6 years, so, YAY to that!

Now, to business: As some of you may know, I plan to move to the U.S. late this year. As I’ve been lucky enough to make a decent living here, making this move will involve a good monetary investment (and not counting all the cons I’m doing this year to keep spreading the word about the comic). Money is tight right now, the good luck fairy hasn’t been showing up that much lately, so I decided to reach out directly to you guys.

As you can see, there’s a progress bar on the left side of the website. My monthly goal is $800, that’ll help me pay my bills perfectly. If I reach my goal every month, I’ll update the comic from Monday to Friday for the next whole month. So that’s more Wyliman for you!

That’s not all: soon enough I’ll add some incentives to give you more bang for you buck. That’ll include Wyliman trade paper backs ( both signed and regular editions), wallpapers and other nifty things (suggestions are welcomed). For the next 4 Saturdays, I’ll upload a new wallpaper and then I’ll upload a new one each month. Also, a limited amount of commissions are open, and that money will go to the goal as well.

So, if you have some bucks laying around, please, consider supporting this little corner of the web comics universe to keep it rolling. Every bit is very appreciate it.

And if you are unable to donate some money, please, please please please, I can’t stress this enough: help me promoting the comic. Under each page there’s a selection of the most common social networks. Please use them to spread the word about the comic. Or just copy the link and paste it in your preferred social network. Tell your friends about it, share with them your favorite pages or chapters, let them know they might like Wyliman as well!

Thank you very much, people, I really appreciate you’ve been hanging with me all this time and let’s see this community grow.

Peace.

I got this and you don’t.

Hey hey hey!

Once again, I’m hitting Orlando for nice two and a half weeks of vacations (FINALLY!). I’m really pumped for this trip, it’s been a tiring yet exciting year, but I need a bit of a break now. I’ll be with my awesome friends Erin and Christine of the BAND COMIC fame that YOU should check out.

Just letting you know quickly (‘cos I haven’t even packed yet), the comic WILL keep updating on it’s regular schedule. There might be a little of a bumpy ride for Monday’s and Wednesday’s pages, but they will get published on their respective date, dunno if on their respective programmed time. Coming up, is Chapter 33: Romance. It’s my 24 hour comic for this year.

I’ll try to have some online presence while I’m out, but, come on, it’s vacations, it means taking a break from the internerd too.

Anyway, I get back home on December 6th. So until then, take care and spread the Wyliman love all over the internet!

Hey!

A quick backstory to this: There’s this show going on in Mexico this weekend called Festo Comic. One of the highlights of the whole thing is that C.B. Cebulski (from Marvel Comics) is coming to do portfolio reviews. They handed out a script for everyone interested in getting a review, could do those pages, submit them and the people organizing this would select a group of “participants” to then get the interview/review with Cebulski.

Anyway, I didn’t get selected (if it was for lack of ability, I accept that, if it was because it’s cartoony, I think it’s a big mistake). And since there’s no risk now (I think) I wanted to show them publicly. I had a lot of fun with them. And thanks to the guys who I showed them to before hand for the feedback and for saying “this would get me to buy superhero comics again“. Reaffirms my idea that there IS a market for these kind of comics IN the superhero genre.

From “Uncanny X-Force 5.1” Script by Rick Remender. Original artwork by Rafael Albuquerque and colors by Dean White. Pencils and inks for these pages, yours truly. Click to enlarge.

In any case, I can still use these for the future. And as well, this motivated me more to work on that Great Lakes Avangers proposal.

If you wanna check out other humor books from Marvel, check out Dark Reign: M.O.D.O.K. by Ryan Dunlavy, the collection of Strange Tales II by various independent artists, and my favorite, Mini Marvels by Chris Giarrusso.
