i dont usually buy serial comics (just GN or TPB) but POCI is so amazing, that i cant resist myself in put my hands on it every number & i want more… i mean, every minute the creators put in the process to do something better make it something greatest in the end, or something like that.
congrats from mexico city of pirates mwahahaa…

That’s beautiful.

Until comics have creator commentaries like DVDs — and I know a few attempts have already been made in this direction — this kind of stuff is indispensable for us “process junkies.”

And this is also the best advice ever for writer’s block.

Only one comment so far?

Very good advice Rick. I loved Teenagers from Mars and Dead West.

Nice advice! That first tip, the “write anything” policy, is always gold. The realisation that not everything that spews from your fingers is going to be polished genius is always a tough hump for new writers. And nice work on the Pirates, by the way. First issue was a surprise for me, and I’m eagerly looking forward to devouring the second, which should be some time in the next two hours.
