  Heroes Convention 2008 was great! I got to meet alot of fans and talk up the new website and I can’t wait to go back next year with a full SkyStormOnline.com setup.
  I’ve been asked many times this weekend when will the new HellWar story start. All I can say at this time is please be patient; it will be worth the wait. Bill and I plan of making the new HellWar event or priority this weekend at Chicago.
  Believe me…it will be worth it.

  I’ve been asked about how the blogging is going to work on this site since we have so many projects running all on one site and each projects has its own blog area. For me, I’ll be making my main blogs here on the index page. I’ll try of offer little tidbits and blogs on each of the projects running at least once a week, if not more.

  The site continues to run without any problems. Aren’t WordPress and ComicPress wonderful?. I truly suggest if you’re thinking about publishing on the internet that you invest in the little bit of time it takes to learn WordPress and ComicsPress.

Take care,
Robert W.

  Bill and I will be meeting at Wizard World Chicago next week. Our main focus is to get everything scheduled for the site and set a launch date for HellWar.
  What I can say is that HellWar will include all of the characters that Bill and I have created along with a few old friends that we have had the pleasure of publishing in the past. 
  I’ve been asked how much material do we have currently available for the site. We have over 150 pages of Blood and Roses: Majestic ready to go, 29 pages of Blood and Roses: Time Lords finished (we’ll be announcing a new art team soon). and over 130 pages of StormQuest: TimeStone.
  We also have complete stories of Tempered Steele, HellGirl, Savage Family and even a early verison of Race Danger. These stories will be available here in the coming months.
  We are excited to share this wealth of entertainment with you and look forward to hearing what you think about the characters.

take care,

This week will be the big test for SkyStormonline.com. Blood and Roses: Majestic posted a new page yesterday and today StormQuest: Timestone posts its new page.

So far, so good.

Now,  on the HellWar front: Bill and I are working out the script and format (how many times a week and will it be in a strip format or comic pages). Once this is finished, we post them here on the front page of SkyStormonline. I’ve been asked if it will start this week.

*sigh* No, It will most likely start the beginning of July. The rest of this month I’ll be traveling to Heroes Con and Chicago Con. (If you’re there, please look me up at the Blue Line booth!) With all the traveling I won’t be able to get the artwork finished and posted. So, instead my goal is to create a backlog of artwork.

So, HellWar is coming and it will featue every character from the SkyStorm Universe! For some characters this will be their premiere and some are getting a much-needed update. I’m really looking forward to working on new material.
Take care,
Robert W. Hickey

Blood & Roses: Majestic on Mondays and Fridays, Blood and Roses: Time Lords on Wednesdays, StormQuest: Timestone on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We still have a few weeks of wrap up design works but we are getting closer to launching the much anticipated HellWar story. Stay tuned here for more information.

One of the projects that we have going on right now is the Hellgirl Fan Art Book that will debut at WizardWorld Chicago this year. Several of the members of our ART UNLEASHED forum (www.bloodandroses.com/forums) are going to be attending the con and have even gotten some table space in Artist Alley together. Bob thought this would be a great project for them to jump in on and get something going. Well, there are some great illos and it’s something to see!

We’ll keep you posted!
