<p>Hey Gang&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve very excited to show you all the <strong>Promo Poster</strong> for my all new <strong>GHOSTBOY &amp; DIABLO mini comic</strong>, coming February 2012 from Class Comics. The mini is called<strong> &#8220;7 Days&#8221;</strong> and I wrote and drew it. In this story, Diablo gets kidnapped by an obsessive fan and it&#8217;s up to Ghostboy to find his boyfriend before it&#8217;s too late.  This story is a little prequel to <a href="http://www.classcomics.com/cart/product.php?productid=267&amp;cat=0&amp;featured=Y" target="_blank">GHOSTBOY AND DIABLO #1</a> and is only going to be available as a Class Access digital mini comic, until it&#8217;s eventual release in Rapture #5.</p>
<p>You GB&amp;D fans are NOT gonna want to miss this.  I&#8217;ve done my best to pull out ALL THE STOPS in this little gem, and trust me when I tell you that Diablo gets put through major paces for an entire week while Ghostboy searches for him!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll keep you posted and let you know when it becomes available.  In the meantime I hope you enjoy the poster.</p>
<p>Hugz + kisses, Patrick XOXOX</p>

<p><strong>Sick of Winter?</strong> Well, take a comic book vacation and get away from it all with our first release of the 2012;<strong> Joseph Hawk’s</strong> incredible<strong><a href="http://www.classcomics.com/ccn/comic-titles/the-long-road-to-the-sea/" target="_blank"> “THE LONG ROAD TO THE SEA”</a>. </strong>You deserve some sun and sand!

<p>The book features <strong>Aki,</strong> a sexy young ( <em>and VERY horny</em>) Asian guy who just wants a nice day of lounging on the beach, where he can catch some sun without the worry of tan lines, swim buck naked in the sea, and beat off a few loads on the warm white sands!</p>
<p>Instead it will turn out to be one unexpected sexual encounter after another! Nothing could have prepared him for the moments of pleasure that await him at each turn in the road. While it wasn’t what he set out for, it will be a day that Aki will remember for the rest of his life.</p>
<div id="attachment_2404" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/sea_preview05.jpg" rel="lightbox[2400]"><img class="size-full wp-image-2404" title="sea_preview05" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/sea_preview05.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="753" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Joseph Hawk&#39;s &quot;The Long Road to the Sea&quot; is now shipping from Class Comics.</p></div>

<p>Hello my friends. I hope everyone&#8217;s doing well!</p>
<p>Today, I want to talk to you about <strong>the Class Comics BIGGER PICTURE CAMPAIGN and CONTEST! </strong></p>
<p>We’ve been talking about our comics and how they are often passed by as <strong>just</strong> <strong>porn</strong>. Well we’re sick and tired of it! We’ve decided that it’s time to take it to the streets and fight back! <strong>Hopefully you will support our cause!</strong></p>
<p>Sure our Boytoons have big units… but they’re <strong>so much more than that! </strong> They’re about falling in love for the first time. They’re about the hardships of coming out. They’re about adventure and escapism. They’re about self-discovery. They’re about being minorities. They’re about the celebration of being gay and embracing who they are with pride. <strong>They’re about you!</strong></p>
<p>Now it’s one thing for <strong>us</strong> to say this, but what we really want is to have <strong>the world</strong> <strong>hear it from you!</strong></p>
<h4><strong>Your challenge: Tell us how Class Comics has rocked your world!</strong></h4>
<p>Has a particular storyline ever rang true with you?<br />
Does a particular character remind you of yourself?<br />
Have you ever shared our comics with someone else and why?<br />
Have you ever learned something about yourself from a storyline?<br />
Has one of our comics altered your life in some way?<br />
Have we ever helped give you the courage to be yourself?<br />
What does Class Comics mean to you beyond a quick wank?</p>
<h4><strong>It’s really easy to enter: Just post your thoughts to ANY of the following places!</strong></h4>
<p>On this Page in the <strong><a href="http://www.classcomics.com/ccn/2012/01/the-bigger-picture-contest/#comments">Comments</a></strong> area below!<br />

Send us a note on <strong><a title="Class Comics Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/#!/classcomics">Twitter @classcomics</a></strong> with the hashtag #CLASSBP!<br />
If you have an artistic flair then post a visual responce on our <strong><a href="http://classcomics.tumblr.com/">Tumblr post</a></strong>!</p>
<h4><strong>Your reward: A Patrick Fillion Original and $100 while helping us share our Bigger Picture!</strong></h4>
<p><strong>Grand Prize:</strong> A Patrick Fillion original ink drawing of one of his Class Comics characters of your choice and a $100 Class Comics Gift Certificate. To be awarded to the entry that knocks our socks off. (Sorry for not being more specific!)</p>
<p><strong>Luck of the Draw Prizes</strong>: We will randomly award a $100 Class Comics gift Certificate to one entry from <strong>each</strong> of the four places you can enter once the contest is over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Boytoons-Magazine-215-cover.jpg" rel="lightbox[2365]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2370" title="Boytoons Magazine #215 cover" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Boytoons-Magazine-215-cover.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="851" /></a></p>
<p>What better way to start 2012 than with Hotcha&#8217;s incredible new website!  <strong>YES!</strong>  After many years of admiring Hotcha&#8217;s gorgeous and supremely sexy art via the Y!Gallery, you can now enjoy it on the official Hotcha website; <strong><a href="http://www.hotchaworks.com/home.html" target="_blank">HOTCHA WORKS!</a></strong></p>
<p>The site&#8217;s lovely and clearly designed with ease of navigation in mind.  All the illustrations are presented in large, easy-to-drool-over sizes which really emphasize the beauty of Hotcha&#8217;s art.  Hotcha even takes the opportunity to treat us to some personal notes on most of the art, revealing what inspired him to draw them.  He turns us on further by providing some narratives and written context which set up some of the illustrations perfectly.  Clearly, Hotcha is an artist who loves to share his work and that&#8217;s good for us the fans, because the treats keep on coming.</p>
<div id="attachment_2371" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 445px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/drake-by-hotcha.jpg" rel="lightbox[2365]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2371 " title="drake by hotcha" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/drake-by-hotcha-435x375.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="375" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meet DRAKE, Hotcha&#39;s sexy signature character!</p></div>
<p>From his original characters like the ultra-fuckable<strong> Drake</strong> and his equally to die for counterparts,<strong> Ike</strong> and <strong>Eli</strong>, to his <strong>Dragonball</strong> fan art, his  interpretations of fellow artist <a href="http://ephorox1.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Ephorox&#8217;s</strong> </a>stable of studs, and even his stunning Class Comics fan art, Hotcha delivers the eye candy in his usual spectacular manner. <a href="http://www.hotchaworks.com/home.html" target="_blank">HOTCHA WORKS</a> does not disappoint, and most of Hotcha&#8217;s classic and recent pieces are there to be adored by us ravenous fans.</p>
<div id="attachment_2373" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 445px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/drake-and-tyon-by-hotcha.jpg" rel="lightbox[2365]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2373" title="drake and tyon by hotcha" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/drake-and-tyon-by-hotcha-435x408.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="408" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hotcha draws Drake fucking the Hell outta Ephorox&#39;s sexy feline character, Tyon!</p></div>
<p>Now a couple of years ago, Hotcha was in Vancouver and Fraser and I got to meet up with him.  I absolutely love this boy!  He&#8217;s as sweet as he is talented, and the opportunity to chat with him in person was truly amazing.  He&#8217;s so down to Earth and talking erotic comics and art with him was a real blast.  His love of his craft is apparent, and his raw and unabashedly raunchy works are charged with an erotic power that you can&#8217;t help but admire.</p>
<div id="attachment_2372" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 445px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/drake-and-cyclops-by-hotcha.jpg" rel="lightbox[2365]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2372 " title="drake and cyclops by hotcha" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/drake-and-cyclops-by-hotcha-435x494.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="494" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Poor Drake can&#39;t take much more from this horribly horny cyclops!</p></div>
<p>But Hotcha&#8217;s work isn&#8217;t without context.  He&#8217;s careful to set up a back story for every image he creates, which is what I love most about him. That really charges his work with a palpable sense of sensuality that is hard to ignore.</p>
<p>So while the Holiday Season may be over, I personally consider <a href="http://www.hotchaworks.com/home.html" target="_blank">HOTCHA WORKS</a> as a Christmas present, one that I&#8217;ve been wanting for years, and one that I most certainly was NOT disappointed to finally receive.  And best of all, knowing how prolific this super talented artist is, I know it&#8217;s a gift that&#8217;s gonna keep on giving.</p>
<p>Do yourself a favor, and head on over to <a href="http://www.hotchaworks.com/home.html" target="_blank">HOTCHA WORKS </a><strong>RIGHT NOW!</strong>  If you don&#8217;t already know Hotcha and his signature character Drake, you&#8217;re not gonna want to miss out a minute longer. And if you&#8217;re a long-time Hotcha fan, you&#8217;ll love revisiting Hotcha&#8217;s classic works, and discovering his latest offerings!</p>
<div id="attachment_2374" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 445px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ike-and-serene-angel-by-hotcha.jpg" rel="lightbox[2365]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2374" title="ike and serene angel by hotcha" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/ike-and-serene-angel-by-hotcha-435x408.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="408" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ike gets it on with a sexy serene angel!

<p>Hello My dear friends&#8230;</p>
<p>I hope this <strong>CHRISTMAS ISSUE of BOYTOONS MAGAZINE</strong> finds you all doing well and enjoying the Holiday Season.</p>
<p>This year for my BTM Christmas edition, I hope you&#8217;ll <strong>FORGIVE</strong> me because I wanted to do something completely different.<strong> UGH</strong> &#8212; I was aiming for charming, but I think I ended up with nauseating instead! <strong> HA! HA! HA!</strong>  <em>(This is SO mortifying&#8230; Ah, what I wouldn&#8217;t do for you guys and gals! LOL! )</em> In any case, this little video message may be horrifyingly cheezy and embarrassing, but it&#8217;s <strong>ABSOLUTELY</strong> from the heart!</p>

<p>So I&#8217;ve been home from <strong>BENT-CON</strong> for almost two weeks now, and I don&#8217;t mind telling you that I am <strong>STILL BUZZED</strong> from my <strong>INCREDIBLE</strong> experience.</p>
<p>Both Fraser and I were on a natural high the entire weekend. The opportunity to meet some of our fans in person and talk with them – <strong>with YOU</strong> – about our comics and characters was so amazing to us. You really showed us just how appreciated our work is, and for that I cannot thank you enough.</p>
<div id="attachment_2315" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 519px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fraser-and-Patrick-at-Bent-Con-2011.jpg" rel="lightbox[2310]"><img class="size-full wp-image-2315" title="Fraser and Patrick at Bent-Con 2011" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Fraser-and-Patrick-at-Bent-Con-2011.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="362" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Robert Fraser and Patrick Fillion of Class Comics at BENT-CON 2011.</p></div>
<p>We really felt that we don&#8217;t leave our studio often enough, and that we do in fact <strong>NEED</strong> to step out and partake in more events like <strong>BENT-CON</strong> so that we can meet more of our fans. Talking to the real people who love Class Comics has really helped us to identify the things we are doing correctly, the things we need to do more of, as well as some of the things we&#8217;ve done that haven&#8217;t worked quite as well. These revelations are invaluable as really help to give us a sense of direction for the future.</p>
<p>So again, thank you to all the fans that were able to come and see us in person, and to all the fans who supported us from afar. You know that you guys and gals make this the <strong>VERY BEST JOB ON THE PLANET</strong> for Fraser and I, and we just love creating our comics for you. You&#8217;re the<strong> BEST!</strong></p>

<p>Another aspect of <strong>BENT-CON</strong> that both Fraser and I completely loved was getting to meet other queer creators. There were so many amazingly talented folks present at <strong>BENT-CON</strong> – people which I&#8217;ve spoken to via email for years – and we finally got to meet in person for the first time.</p>
<p>There are too many to name  here, but I can&#8217;t tell you how completely<strong> OVERJOYED</strong> I was to get the chance to meet folks like <strong><a href="http://rated-z.com/" target="_blank">Sean Z</a>, <a href="http://jezzasmilez.blogspot.com/?zx=5e4e8c6419d177d4" target="_blank">Jezza Smilez,</a> <a href="http://www.studiosplatter.com/erotic.html" target="_blank">Sean Platter,</a> <a href="http://www.belasco-comix.com/?zx=8fb61b807d9decc0" target="_blank">Belasco,</a> <a href="http://jjkirby.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">JJ Kirby,</a><a href="http://williamotyler.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> William Tyler</a>,<a href="http://www.jonmacy.com/" target="_blank"> Jon Macy,</a> <a href="http://www.joephillips.com/" target="_blank">Joe Phillips</a>, <a href="http://www.raderofthelostart.com/" target="_blank">Brad Rader</a>, <a href="http://www.allthumbspress.com/" target="_blank">Justin Hall</a>, <a href="http://www.jeffsmusclestudio.com/" target="_blank">Jeff Jacklin</a>, <a href="http://www.kirwanarts.com/" target="_blank">Michael Kirwan</a>,<a href="http://www.yaoi911.com/" target="_blank"> Alex Woolfson</a>,<a href="http://www.masque-of-the-red-death.com/" target="_blank">Wendi Pini</a>, <a href="http://cargocollective.com/stevenhgarcia" target="_blank">Steven H.

(<em>Apologies for not listing everyone here &#8212; a complete list of all creators and exhibitors is available on<a href="http://bent-con.org/" target="_blank"> the BENT-CON website</a>.</em>) So many creative and inspirational people were present, and I <strong>LOVED</strong> that artists such as the fabulous<strong> <a href="http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/user/vishis/" target="_blank">Vishis</a></strong> and the wonderful<strong> <a href="http://www.icemanblue.com/" target="_blank">Iceman Blue</a>,</strong> who despite not being part of the exhibiting artists, took time out of their weekend to come and say hello to Fraser and I! <strong>SO VERY COOL!</strong></p>

<p>After years of email communication and of mutual artistic appreciation, I <strong>FINALLY</strong> got to meet the incredible<strong> JOTTO!</strong>  What a pleasure it was getting to see some of his original artwork in the flesh, and to chat with him about his creative process and inspirations.  The man is as sweet as he is talented, and I don&#8217;t mind telling you that he treated me to a pile of prints of his gorgeous artwork. Again &#8211;<strong> BLISS!!!</strong>  LOL!</p>
<p>The weekend was like Christmas morning come early! LOL! I got to sample the wares of several creators, and it was so great exchanging comics and art. I do wish I&#8217;d had even more time to peruse everyone&#8217;s work&#8230; but time flew by so fast. However, I<strong> HAD</strong> to show you this <strong>AWESOME</strong> sketch that the incomparable <strong>BRAD RADER </strong>drew for me in my copy of his<strong> Vertigo </strong>book,<strong> &#8220;FOGTOWN&#8221;.  </strong>What a sweetheart! He signed the book for me and drew me this super hung, super sexy Black Hunk as a special treat!  LOL!  I love this!  It&#8217;s just one of the many wonderful moments that made <strong>BENT-CON</strong> so much fun for me.</p>
<div id="attachment_2312" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 417px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Brad-Rader-FOGTOWN-dedication.jpg" rel="lightbox[2310]"><img class="size-full wp-image-2312 " title="Brad Rader FOGTOWN dedication" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Brad-Rader-FOGTOWN-dedication.jpg" alt="" width="407" height="631" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The awesome BRAD RADER drew me a gorgeous black hunk with the BIGGEST WANG EVER!</p></div>
<p>The weekend&#8217;s panels were also terrific.  Fraser and I were invited as guest speakers on several of them, and we had a fantastic time speaking about our work and on our impression of Gay Erotic art, comics and queer publishing in general.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://fanboysoftheuniverse.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Fanboys of the Universe</strong> </a>costume contest was a<strong> BLAST!</strong>  Fans really put a lot of effort into their costumes, and speaking as one of the official judges, I can tell you that picking the winners was <strong>NO EASY TASK! </strong>Everyone who participated was <strong>TOP NOTCH </strong>and incredibly creative!</p>
<p>On a personal note, I was so<strong> THRILLED</strong> to finally get to meet my pal, the fabulous<strong> <a href="http://www.fanboysoftheuniverse.com/index.php/site/C56/" target="_blank">JOHNNY M</a></strong> in person for the very first time. Johnny was as amazing in person as I expected him to be, and more.  The opportunity to solidify such friendships, and renew existing ones was literally <strong>PRICELESS</strong> and so greatly appreciated.</p>
<div id="attachment_2322" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 519px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Johnny-M-poses-with-Patrick.jpg" rel="lightbox[2310]"><img class="size-full wp-image-2322" title="Johnny M poses with Patrick" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Johnny-M-poses-with-Patrick.jpg" alt="" width="509" height="362" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Johnny M and Patrick Fillion in Amoeba Music, Los Angeles, the weekend of BENT-CON 2011.</p></div>
<p>I also truly enjoyed meeting emerging artists for the first time.  I got to see some wonderful new artwork and discover the talents of creators whose work I will enjoy watching grow and flourish. <strong>Choklit Daddy</strong> was one such artist.  Check out<a href="http://choklitdaddyssketchbook.blogspot.com/?zx=bb4511c37c9ba0f6" target="_blank"> his blog</a> for a look at his sexy toons!</p>
<p>So yeah – a great time to be sure! So many wonderful blessings in one all-too short weekend. Connecting with everyone was completely amazing, and being in beautiful Los Angeles was glorious.</p>
<p>As well as <strong>BENT-CON,</strong> our weekend in LA also brought Fraser and I another very special gift&#8230; but I&#8217;m reserving that news for down the road. Heh! Heh! Heh!  ;)</p>
<p>So again, thank you all so much – from the fans, to the fellow creators, to the wonderful folks – you all made <strong>BENT-CON 2011</strong> such a <strong>HUGE</strong> success, and such an incredible experience for Fraser and I! :D  Now we&#8217;re looking forward to <strong>BENT-CON 2012!</strong> LOL!</p>

<p>Good Saturday Morning, Gang!</p>
<p>Just wanted to let you know that something<strong> AMAZING</strong> arrived in my mailbox this week.  Hot off the press,<strong> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/3867871566/?tag=clascomi-20" target="_blank">HEROES WITH HARDONS: THE BIG BOOK OF CLASS COMICS</a></strong>, freshly published by the good folks at<strong> Bruno Gmunder</strong> is here&#8230; but saying it&#8217;s<strong> BIG</strong> is a<strong> MASSIVE UNDERSTATEMENT</strong>! In actuality, it frikkin&#8217; <strong>HUGE!!!  </strong></p>
<p>This sucker is<strong> over 250 pages</strong> of some of the best comics and art ever to come out of Class Comics. It&#8217;s page after page of excerpts from our most popular titles and even features a ton of previously unreleased material. It features the work of <strong>25 incredible creators;  Jacob Mott, Logan, Robert Fraser, Joseph Hawk, Benoit Prévot, François Peneaud, Carlos García, Johnny Murdoc, TJ Wood, Lizz Ventura, Nicolas Brunet, C.J. Evans, Silvano, Butch McLogic, Donald MacLean, Leon de Leon, Ismael Alvarez, Mike, Eric Mars, Bryce Peters, Bob Grey, Hernán Cabrera, Aline, Golden Key,</strong> and<strong> yours truly.  </strong></p>

<p><strong>HEROES WITH HARDONS</strong> is printed on high quality gloss paper, and beautifully bound between two gorgeous hard covers.  Seriously, this book is nothing short of <strong>INCREDIBLE.</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>I&#8217;m just so proud of it.  This book symbolizes a major accomplishment for Class Comics.  It&#8217;s a true milestone; an homage to what Class as a company has created, inspired and what it&#8217;s capable of.  And to have it all published by BG makes me so proud. For me personally it says, <em>&#8220;Way to go, Class Comics! These pages and your accomplishments are pop art worth celebrating!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em></em>To everyone who had a hand in making this book a reality &#8212; from all the brilliant creators, to the wonderful folks at BG, to all of the awesome Class Comics Fans, <strong>my sincerest thanks</strong>.</p>
<p>This book is<strong> truly</strong> one for fans of Class Comics to put on their shelf, or a great way to introduce a friend to the thrilling world of Class Comics. AND it&#8217;s here just in time for the <strong>HOLIDAYS!! </strong>Because of it&#8217;s size, Class Comics won&#8217;t be selling this book directly, but you can get it from <strong><a title="Heroes with Hardons: The big book of Class Comics!" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/3867871566/?tag=clascomi-20" target="_blank">Amazon</a></strong> and other GLBT friendly bookstores.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Boytoons-Magazine-213-cover.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2267" title="Boytoons Magazine #213 cover" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Boytoons-Magazine-213-cover.jpg" alt="" width="550" height="851" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.classcomics.com/ccn/2011/11/rapture-4-is-here/" target="_blank">RAPTURE #4</a></strong> is finally out and available from <strong><a href="http://www.classcomics.com" target="_blank">Class Comics</a></strong>, and I thought it would be a great deal of fun to give you good people a little behind the scenes glimpse at this very exciting book!</p>
<p>Why am I <strong>SO EXCITED</strong> about <strong>RAPTURE #4</strong>? Easy! It&#8217;s because this book marks <strong>three amazing CLASS COMICS first</strong>s that are pretty damn memorable.</p>
<p>To begin with, the brilliant<strong> LOGAN</strong> draws <strong>ZAHN</strong> for the very first time in this issue. I was so thrilled when Logan agreed to take on a story for <strong>RAPTURE #4</strong> that I wrote him a very special story called <em>“The Altar of Szabarnak”</em>. In this story, Zahn wants to communicate with the Vardan Spirit World. This leads him to meeting a strange little wizard named <strong>ZULLBA</strong> who informs him that to do this, he must commune with the mystical <strong>Altar of Szabarnak</strong> – an ancient artifact that requires Zahn&#8217;s sperm in order to come to life! Dontcha hate it when that happens?! LOL!</p>
<div id="attachment_2271" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release03.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2271" title="rapture4release03" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release03-387x600.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Unfinished art by LOGAN, from the RAPTURE #4 Zahn story, &quot;The Altar of Szabarnak&quot;. RAPTURE #4 now available from Class Comics.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_2272" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release04.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2272" title="rapture4release04" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release04-387x600.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Completed art by LOGAN, from the RAPTURE #4 Zahn story, &quot;The Altar of Szabarnak&quot;. RAPTURE #4 now available from Class Comics.</p></div>
<p>What&#8217;s so awesome about this story is that it permitted Logan to come up with the very unique looks of three amazing and incredibly sexy new barbarian characters; <strong>ROAN, LAKOZA</strong> and <strong>YTLA!</strong> Logan really <strong>ROCKED</strong> the design on these three Vardan Hunks, and they put Zahn through one Hell of a fuckfest!</p>
<div id="attachment_2273" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 445px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release11.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2273" title="rapture4release11" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release11-435x230.jpg" alt="" width="435" height="230" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Character concept designs for the RAPTURE #4 Zahn story, &quot;The Altar of Szabarnak&quot;. Art by LOGAN.</p></div>
<p>The art in <em>“Szabarnak”</em> is absolutely superb, and it&#8217;s such a treat seeing the Son of Winter drawn in Logan&#8217;s style. Zahn is beautifully muscled and smooth, and more than up to the challenge of satisfying three hot and horny Barbarian spirits who want a piece of his ass. The colors Logan employed are truly beautiful as well, and give a nice “chilled” feel to the story. It&#8217;s a great piece, and I&#8217;m sure that fans will appreciate Logan&#8217;s fantastic take on Zahn and his new companions.</p>
<div id="attachment_2274" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release02.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2274" title="rapture4release02" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release02-387x600.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SOTO makes his Class Comics debut drawing Deimos in RAPTURE #4.

<div id="attachment_2275" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release06.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2275" title="rapture4release06" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release06-387x600.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SOTO makes his Class Comics debut drawing Deimos in RAPTURE #4. Finished art by Soto.</p></div>
<p>Secondly on <strong>RAPTURE #4</strong>, I had the chance to collaborate with an artist I have admired for a very long time. Of course I&#8217;m referring to the incredible <strong>SOTO</strong>, who illustrated a fresh new <strong>DEIMOS</strong> story I wrote for him, called <em>“Deimos&#8217; Inferno”</em>.</p>
<p>Soto&#8217;s take on Deimos is brilliant. The Taro Demon is gruff, rugged, manly and completely hot. Soto&#8217;s art is itself beautifully moody and atmospheric, and this suits the story perfectly. In “inferno”, Deimos decides to try and take <strong>BOB</strong> by surprise by infiltrating Hell and attacking him where he least expects it&#8230; on his home turf. Naturally, not all goes Deimos&#8217; way, and our hero&#8217;s plans are foiled by the demon <strong>HEMEC</strong> and his lackeys.</p>
<div id="attachment_2276" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release01.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2276" title="rapture4release01" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release01-387x600.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SOTO makes his Class Comics debut drawing Deimos in RAPTURE #4. Pencils by Soto.</p></div>
<div id="attachment_2277" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 397px"><a href="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release05.jpg" rel="lightbox[2266]"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2277" title="rapture4release05" src="http://www.boytoonsmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/rapture4release05-387x600.jpg" alt="" width="387" height="600" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">SOTO makes his Class Comics debut drawing Deimos in RAPTURE #4. Finished art by Soto.</p></div>
<p>Soto created the looks for Hemec&#8217;s demonic pals and I did a truly superb job of it. The twin demons,<strong> GAUL</strong> and <strong>BILE</strong> are really wicked looking with their inversed snapped horns, tribal tats, and opposing eye-patches, while<strong> BELAGAUZ</strong> is just too monstrous for words!</p>
<p>I love this story because it finally shows a more submissive side to Deimos, who becomes the power bottom of the day for these four nasty demons. But don&#8217;t get too accustomed to Deimos&#8217; submissive side&#8230; he&#8217;s soon on top of things again!</p>
<p>This story is wonderfully “Deimos” and I couldn&#8217;t be happier with Soto&#8217;s take on the character and the story. You&#8217;ll see for yourself just how rich and detailed this wonderful artists&#8217; work really is.</p>

<p>And lastly, <strong>RAPTURE #4</strong> features the very – and I do mean VERY <strong><em>(in fact I&#8217;ve received a number of very angry letters and hate mail about it)</em></strong> <strong>CONTROVERSIAL</strong> – Camili-Cat short story <em>“CHANGES”</em>, in print for the very first time. It&#8217;s a real pleasure seeing this Cam story on the printed page. I feel it&#8217;s such a turning point – a real defining chapter in his life. Seeing it in the pages of <strong>RAPTURE #4</strong> just reminds me of how integral to the Class Comics Universe Camili-Cat really is. It&#8217;s a story I loved writing and one I truly enjoyed illustrating.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering <strong>WHY</strong> “Changes” is so controversial, then you don&#8217;t already know and I won&#8217;t spoil it for you. Suffice it to say that Cam gets an<strong> EXTREME</strong> new look, and some fans love it, some fans <strong>HATE IT</strong>&#8230; and probably also hate <strong>ME</strong> for making it happen&#8230; but you know, Cam needed a change&#8230; and this is a doozy!</p>

<p>On top of all of that, the wonderful <strong>HERNAN CABRERA</strong> and I once again worked together to bring Camili-Cat to colorific life in “Changes”, and<strong> RAPTURE #4</strong> is beautifully lettered by the fabulous <strong>JOHNNY MURDOC</strong>! I tells ya, a <strong>TERRIFIC</strong> issue!</p>
<p><strong>RAPTURE #4</strong> is now shipping form Class Comics, and it&#8217;s available as a <a href="http://www.classcomics.com/cart/product.php?productid=8&amp;cat=0&amp;featured=Y" target="_blank">Printed Comic</a> or as a <a href="http://www.classcomics.com/cart/product.php?productid=269&amp;cat=0&amp;featured=Y" target="_blank">Digital Comic</a>, so you&#8217;re free to pick your poison. I will say this, the issue is one of my favorite installments of this series so far. I&#8217;m very pleased with and proud of all three stories. This book gave me the opportunity to work with some truly talented people, and for that I am truly grateful. This is why I make comics! LOL!</p>
