Some Cosmic Rationale
I'll tell you what it Means - Pressure
Greetings,
I know, I know - I’ve been super active on Substack lately—but that’s because there is so much going on and it’s simply the best way to get Cosmic News out to folks like YOU. So here I am, typing away late into the night, juggling three timelines and three deadlines.
Back in the day, I thrived under pressure—cranking out commercials just days before they aired. Going up abasing one hard deadline was exhilarating in my youth. Having three at once at 52? That’s a bit more stressful. But as many of you know, I’m fully committed to Cosmic Times and leveling things up … so onward I go …
Final Arthur Cover Reveal
So far, I’ve revealed three of the FOUR covers for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign - Arthur: The Legend Continues – Final Issue + Complete Saga. We’ve already showcased:
Cover A by Carlos Tron
Cover B by Boyfiy Miah
Cover C by Ben Perkins
Now … without further ado … here is the final cover - Cover D, a stunning wraparound edition by our series artist, Carlos Tron!
All four covers will be available individually through the Kickstarter launching June 10th, or as a complete set—alongside the full Arthur saga. Head over to the prelaunch page using the link below and click “Notify Me on Launch”to be alerted the moment the campaign goes live.
Meet Carlos Tron This Weekend!
Want to meet the artist behind two of those amazing covers? You can catch Carlos Tron this weekend at CCXP Mexico (May 30 – June 1) at Centro Citibanamex in Mexico City!
Yes, big names like Michael C. Hall, Humberto Ramos, Scarlett Johansson, Mike Deodato, and Mads Mikkelsen will be there—but the main reason to go is to meet Carlos.
Infinity Con Tallahassee – Big Changes Ahead!
Ever since I first met David, the main man behind Infinity Con, he’s dreamed of creating a different kind of convention—one with themed areas connected by archways, years before Epic Universe was even a thing.
Well, despite setbacks like a pandemic, national financial chaos, and a rogue tent (ask him about it) —David is bringing part of that vision to life this year with Infinity Con Tallahassee, happening July 12–13.
He’s introducing six distinct themed zones on the show floor -
The Forge – A cosplay, costume, and prop world
Limitless – Gaming of all kinds: video games, arcades, VR, and digital
The Abyss – Horror, FX, and everything that goes bump in the night
The Isle of Wonder – A space for creativity, imagination, and family-friendly fun
New Renaissance – Celebrating the arts: drawing, writing, comics, and more
The Mystic Forest – A fantasy world of tabletop games
Check out the full details on the Infinity Con website and follow them on all the socials for updates.
