Hey guys and gals:
Just wanted to let you know that the newest Despondent Mega Man is done already! In keeping with my new schedule, I’ll have it up this Tuesday (July 3rd).
In the meantime, I’m still working on Rock Vs. Robo, and I’ll update again once I have something more substantial to share!

Hey everyone!
A while back I mentioned that I had a special project in the works. Well, I’m ready to reveal it!
The tentative title is “Rock Vs. Robo.” It’s a twelve page comic where Mega Man and Robo (from Chrono Trigger) duke it out in a all out battle royale! “How and why are they fighting,” you ask? Well, my friends, you’ll have to just wait and see!
It’s going to be a black and white piece, where I will be experimenting with manga screen tones and such to make it more dynamic. Below is a picture of the notebook where I’ve been writing my thumbnails out, just to prove that this project is already underway:
Here is said notebook on top of my giant tablet.
I’m a HUGE Chrono Trigger fan, and I’m really excited to kick this project into high gear. So far the feedback I’ve received has been very positive, so I think you’ll all enjoy it!
Right now I don’t have an exact time frame for when “Rock Vs. Robo” will be finished and available (nor do I know what form it will take), but I will keep you all posted with updates on its progress!

Season two of Despondent Mega Man begins today!
Let’s be honest, here. Nobody likes the damn Buzzing Blocks, and everyone has tried this at least once with the same results.
Characters are © Capcom. Art and jokes are © Jesse DuRona. Comic is 100% digital.
I’ll have the next issue up next Tuesday. Don’t forget to check back regularly, though, because I have other cool stuff going on, including new robot stickers and a brand new mini comic based on a very familiar series!

Hey all!
Some of you might be familiar with The Mega Man network, a website that dedicates its time to covering any and all Mega Man related media, such as the 25 anniversary, and the like. Well, they just posted an article about me! You can read it here!
I’ve already had a lot more people visiting my site, so I’m really grateful to them for helping get the word out about the comic! They also featured another series in the article called Mini Mega, which I’ve already been reading. It’s great!
Now for an important Despondent message: *DESPONDENT MEGA MAN WILL BE UPDATED EVERY TUESDAY! YES, TUESDAY! STARTING THIS WEEK (THE 26TH)*
If you couldn’t tell, I’m sick of making you guys wait 
I already have the first nine issues of this season planned out, which is more preparation than I’ve ever done for this series! I’ve been working very hard and am really excited to share the new comics with you all!
Thanks again for visiting, and don’t forget to come back tomorrow!

Guys and gals!
I just wanted to let you all know that I’ve been working diligently on some new Despondent Mega Man comics for y’all! One is about half way inked, and TWO MORE are fully penciled!
I’ll have an update on when these will post early next week. For now, just know I’m working again!
Hey guys and gals:
It would seem I’m more burned out after putting the book together than I thought, so I’m going to be taking a little break. Don’t worry, I’ll be starting up the comic again next week, but I just need a little breather so I don’t keep promising things and then not delivering them 
Hey guys and gals:
So I know I promised that Thursdays would be “Despondent Thursdays,” where I would post a new Despondent Mega Man comic for you all, but I’m afraid that I have to delay until tomorrow.
I’ve been suffering some mysterious health issues of late, and had to spend most of the day at the doctors doing all kinds of fun tests. Don’t worry! I’m fine, it’s just been a bit time consuming.
Rest assured that Season 2 of Despondent Mega Man is well under way, I just need a little more time to get the newest page done. I promise it will be up by tomorrow night, come rain or shine!
Hey all!
Well I just got back from Granite Con, and it was super fun! I didn’t do a lot of shopping or wandering, but I did sell a lot of swag. Here are a few shots of my table:
For those of your really paying attention: yes, those are the completed Despondent Mega Man books! It was done in plenty of time for the con, much to my delight. Here are some close ups right after the binding and trimming were done:
Every copy of the book in their despondent glory!
A nice close up. I’m really happy with the cover.
So far I’ve sold five of these bad boys, and three more are tentatively reserved. I’ll have to get some fan feedback and see if anyone is interested in buying these online. If so, I will print more.
I spent some time with the Ghostbusters of New Hampshire. I love these guys! They are so committed to the art of bustin’ goblins, spooks, and demons!
The Hello Kitty Proton Pack. I’m a fan.
The highlight of the show for me was drawing sketch cards for people. They were so much fun to do, and if we’re being honest, some of them were hard to part with. Here they are!
A Gargoyles character! How cool is that?
For all the Robot Masters I’ve drawn, I’ve never done this one before.
Nor this one!
Oh, this one was hard to let go 
But THIS one was my favorite!
As a side note, you might have noticed some thumbnails hiding under some of the pictures of sketch cards. Well, my friends, that is my new comic I’m working on! What is it, you ask? I’ll reveal it soon!
One last note: Despondent Mega Man now officially has a weekly release date. Every Thursday will be “Despondent Thursday,” and I will post a new comic up by that evening, come rain or shine.
That’s it for now! Sorry about the super long update, but I had a lot of ground to cover!
Well, gang, the book is at the printers. By 2pm today I’ll be folding and binding until my hands get sore! Right now I’m only printing 20 of them for the convention, but eventually I’ll make more and sell them online. Pictured below is my sweet cover design!
Just to remind everyone, Granite Con is on the 10th (tomorrow) in Manchester, New Hampshire from 10 to 5. I’ll be there all day selling my books and stickers, so come on by and see me!
Hey guys and gals!
I wanted to let you all know that I will be at the Granite State Comicon on Sunday, June 10th in Manchester, New Hampshire. I will be peddling my wares with my buddy, Randall Drew, so come by and say hello!
Info on the convention can be found here!
I’ve got one more page to go before Despondent Mega Man Volume 1 is ready! Some recent health complications have slowed me down a bit (don’t worry, I’m fine!), but I’m still planning to meet my deadline for Granite Con!
That’s it for now! Hope to see some of you next weekend!
