Q & A: Local comic creator lands a Comic-Con panel
Comic-Con — the Super Bowl of all things geek — is happening this week. While hundreds of thousands of people will be in San Diego obsessing over their favorite movies, TV shows, games and more, there’s one local guy who will be there in a different, more awesome, capacity.
Web comic creator Brock Heasley has reached a new level of Comic-Con. He’s speaking on a panel — one of hundreds over the four-day expo — on Friday afternoon about digital comics. It’s a subject he knows pretty well, and not necessarily in the most joyous way.
You might remember Heasley’s name because we wrote about his comic “Monsterplex” that won DC Comic’s Zuda competition. Well, Zuda imploded and his team’s DC Comics contract vanished with it. He still stays plenty busy with his primary web comic, The SuperFogeys. But you can imagine Heasley has something to say about digital comics.
We chatted with him before he ventured down to Comic-Con to get the scoop on everything.
Did They Just Say Fresno? Web comic edition
Fresno got name-checked recently in a Web comic called Bug. The guy behind it is from Wisconsin, so no, he’s not one of those cool local Web comic guys — but he still knew enough to mention us … and roller derby. We at The Beehive can’t help but love this.
For the record: If Fresno needs another roller derby team, I’m down with calling them the Floozies. One the strip’s readers even designed a logo for the would-be team, which you can see here.

Help a couple Fresno guys win a contract with DC Comics
UPDATE: Today is the last day of the contest and Monsterplex is currently at No. 2. Go help ‘em out, Fresno!
ORIGINAL POST, 2/11: “Monsterplex,” a comic produced by two Fresno guys, is currently running strong in this month’s Zuda competition, put on by the ever-so-famous DC Comics (you know, Superman, Batman, etc).
On the line is a one-year contact with DC for “Monsterplex” and the minds behind it — Brock Heasley and David Schlotterback. They’re doing well so far, currently in second place, but they were No. 1 a few days ago. But they could use a little bit of a Fresno push. Just head over here to check out “Monsterplex,” which is a comic about a movie theater with real monsters in it.
