This week, Pat welcomes writer Sam Humphries to the show! We talk about his beginnings in the comics industry, including his many creator owned projects, like Our Love Is Real, Higher Earth and Sacrifice. Then, we talk about his run on Marvel’s Ultimates, and his upcoming run on Uncanny X-Force! Don’t miss this fun episode of Loikamania!

The wide release of OUR LOVE IS REAL hits shelves across the US, UK, and Canada today, ensuring that I will never be able to run for president.
If you were planning on picking up a copy today, I’d hit up your comic book store ASAP. Many retailers got shorted on their orders by the distributor and they could go fast.
If you pre-ordered, now’s the time to go to your local comic book store and pick it up!
A pea plant subjected to drought conditions communicated its stress to other such plants, with which it shared its soil. In other words, through the roots, it relayed to its neighbors the biochemical message about the onset of drought, prompting them to react as though they, too, were in a similar predicament.
Curiously, having received the signal, plants not directly affected by this particular environmental stress factor were better able to withstand adverse conditions when they actually occurred. This means that the recipients of biochemical communication could draw on their “memories” — information stored at the cellular level — to activate appropriate defenses and adaptive responses when the need arose.

Aborted attempt at Chaykin style lettering/art fusion from OUR LOVE IS REAL. Brin reacting to doorbell ringing. I was going to have this go right after the panel below it. (I do a lot of fiddling with the art in “post”. ) I dropped it because it seemed too gimmicky.

NEW YORK COMIC CON! I can’t believe it’s been a year already…prepare to be rocked.
I’ll have one hundred advance copies of the Image version of OUR LOVE IS REAL available, three weeks before it hits store shelves! Come quick if you want one. Myself and my pals Mark Sable and Paul Azaceta will be camping out at booth S16.
I’ll also have them at the mega-signing at Jim Hanley’s Universe, across from the Empire State building, on Thursday night. Come say hi to myself and baller creators like Josh Fialkov, Sterling Gates, Kyle Higgins, and a ton more.
And of course I’ll be signing Fraggle Rock with the good folks at the Archaia booth.

The question I get most about this book (after, “What the fuck?”) is if I have more ideas for stories in this world.
The answer is yes, but will they ever get printed? If the wide release of OUR LOVE IS REAL does well, the odds go up dramatically.
Pre-ordering is by far the best way to support a creator or support a book. The future of most comics are determined weeks before they come out, based on pre-order numbers.
So if you want to see more twisted OUR LOVE IS REAL stories, please pre-order the book today. You can do it online, it takes two minutes, and you can either pick it up or have it delivered via mail.
OUR LOVE IS REAL is all grown up, getting the wide-release treatment from a major publisher in November!
Which is why I need your help. It would be so clutch if anyone and everyone who sees this clicks the link above and pre-orders the book.
It takes less than two minutes, and it means big, big things (for me AND the book) if you pre-order now, rather than waiting to pick it up cold in November.
I am eminently grateful for your continued support. Oh, and please reblog the piss out of this. THANK YOU!
