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!

Hey gang. I know, I know.

It’s been too long since we’ve popped in on this here “blog” portion of the site, and for that, I apologize.

But hey, once you see why, I’m sure you’ll understand.

See, we’ve been getting ready. Ready for this month. Ready for July 2009.

What makes July so big? Check out our schedule.

July 16th - Super Art Fight 4.

Nick and I, along with the entire Super Art Fight crew, once again invade the Ottobar for what can be only described as a live event like no other. For all related event details, including how you can buy tickets, click here.

July 17th-19th - Otakon 2009.

Otakon is what truly birthed Nick and I onto this webcomics scene. We had our first table at the Artist’s Alley for Otakon in 2006, and we’re happy to say we’ll be back again for our 4th consecutive show.  We’ll have all sorts of merch, which we’ll be detailing as the show gets closer, once it’s in hand, and I can take copious pictures.

July 31st-August 2nd - Connecticon 2009.

Ah, Connecticon. You treat us so well.  Currently our farthest trek away from home convention-wise, Connecticon has been kind enough to invite us as a guest for 3 years running, and this time, it’s not just about the comics, it’s about some fighting…some Super Art Fighting. That’s right, in addition to bringing CTCon the best in webcomics that Charm City provides, we’ll be blowing minds with a full on Super Art Fight event. More information on that as the show gets closer.

You excited? You ready to rock? You should be, ’cause we are.  The Summer con season is always what makes Nick and I thrive, and we intend to deliver in 2009 like never before.

And hey, maybe I’ll bring back some of those convention reports we were so well known for…

Straight from SuperArtFight.com, we’re proud to reveal the first details on SUPER ART FIGHT 4!
