JAVA#1 Recaffeinated Debuts at New York Comicon

JAVA#1 Recaffeinated is here! The revamped issue debuted this past weekend at New York Comicon. I'll be posting a link on my website for people to order online.

On a bit of a somber note, I found out a very good friend and an amazing artist, Pat Carlucci, passed away from battling cancer. We go way back 14 years. He did what he loved and he did it well up till the end. He always helped other artists and maintained a strong professional devotion to the fans. God Bless you.
