HEAT #455 – Martinete 3: The Re-Martinete-ing

I’m going to be at Saskatoon Expo on September 16th and 17th! If you’re in town, come say hi and buy some books.

Speaking of books, I’ve got a couple of book-related announcements to make. The first is regarding the HEAT: Super Max Edition TPB. It’s almost sold out! It won’t be reprinted in the near future, so if you want one, hit me up at a con or place an order ASAP.

Second, I’m going to be launching a Kickstarter campaign in the near future for the Where Is Zog? TPB. Follow my various social media outlets for up-to-date news on that.

HEAT #454 – Don’t Let Him Do THAT!

HEAT #454 – Don’t Let Him Do THAT!

I learned recently, at an art gallery talk about my own work, that the stuff I do in backgrounds sometimes, like in panel 2, is influenced by pop art. I knew pretty much nothing about pop art until a presentation about it in relation to comics, and, specifically, my comics. HUH. The more you know, right?

Since we’re in the middle of an apuestas match in the comic, you should check out an excellent apuestas match that took place in AAA recently. Dr. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown had a mascara contra mascara match that will most likely be ending up on my Match of the Year ballot for 2017. You can watch it for free on YouTube, so there’s no excuses!

HEAT #445 – Martinete 2: The Martinetening

HEAT #445 – Martinete 2: The Martinetening

As we all know, the spinning Tombstone is more powerful than a regular Tombstone, for… reasons? Wrestling!

I actually watched a New Japan show in a timely fashion, because the G1 Special aired on the Fight Network in Canada, and that channel was on free preview. That was a super fun show. I think it might be the first time I’ve watched an NJPW opening multi-man tag in 2017, which almost certainly wouldn’t have happened if it hadn’t been live on television. There’s too much wrestling, so I cherry pick a lot, and NJPW multi-man tags are an easy cut. The opener the G1 Special was a blast, though. It was like everyone decided to wrestle on fast forward. Also, Michael Elgin and Kenny Omega had a nearly five star match, so that was pretty rad.

HEAT #435 – Martinete

HEAT #435 – Martinete

In Mexico, the Tombstone Piledriver is called a Martinete, and is a total death move. There was a mask match last year, Canis Lupus vs Trauma I, where Trauma wore a neck brace for a notable portion of the match because he took one Tombstone. Guys get carted out from them. The move is hugely protected as a killer.

What I’m saying is that Shawn Michaels and Triple H would both be unbeatable in Mexico, because they can kick out of two or three Tombstones in a row.

If you’re in Calgary this weekend, I’ll be at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo. Hit up the Renegade Arts Entertainment booth, 1222-1322 in the BMO Centre. I’ll be there signing and selling books, slinging prints, and probably doing some commissions. I’m thinking about bringing some original art to sell, but we’ll see.
