The excitement is palpable here at AFHS HQ, as we are counting down the minutes and hours until the our busiest weekend of the summer kicks off.

It all starts tomorrow night with Super Art Fight 4, live at the Ottobar in Downtown Baltimore.

Doors open at 8pm, show kicks off at 9pm, with me (Marty, your dear writer) serving as emcee along with Ross Nover, and Nick (your trusty artist) appearing in the main event of the card.  Click here for full details.

Then, on Friday, the 3-day extravaganza known as Otakon 2009 kicks off.  We’ll be in Artist Alley all weekend at table V04.

See these comics above? That’s AFHS issues #1 and 2!  Issue #1 will be available for $3, and the DOUBLE-SIZED issue #2 will be just $5.

See those sweet prints?  All 3 of them will be available at our table, for just $5 each.

In addition, thanks to our new working relationship with Artscream, we will have Alfredo t-shirts (just $20) and for you Dead of Summer die-hards, ZOMBelieve Mugs for just $10! Unfortunately, we’re getting them in hand VERY last minute tomorrow, so I do not have any pics of them. Yet.

However, for those of you who want up to the minute updates on our Otakon experience, follow us on Twitter!  Here’s my Twitter, and here’s Nick’s.

Want to hear our take on the comics world?  This weekend you’re in luck: on Saturday morning, from 11:30am-12:30pm in Panel Room #2, we, along with moderator Darren Gendron, will be discussing the art of Colaboration In Comics.

All and all, it’s going to be one heck of a weekend, and I’ll do my best to give you a full update come Monday morning.

Unfortunately, due to all of this prep, we’re missing tomorrow’s comic, but we’ll be back atcha on Tuesday with some brand new Art Fight High School action!
