Well it should be obvious now that we missed our projected October release of THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER on compact disc. The distributor had this project tied up for about seven weeks.

The good news is THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER was very quietly released today. That's right - it's now available for purchase.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending New York Comic Con coupled with New York Anime fest. If you don't know what that is, it's East Coast's version of the spectacular San Diego Comic Con run and sponsored by different companies. For 3 days, October 8-10 2010, anime, comic, video games, movies, television and pop subculture fans from all different walks of life came to the Jacob Javits Center in New York City to celebrate their mediums. Saturday was completely sold out, success! I personally had an amazing time and hope to return in October of 2011. Here's the rundown of events that went on, guests appearing and several big name booths.
