Love/Hate: The Amazing Life of a Comicbook Artist

AJ LOVES the world of comicbooks.

He started collecting when he was 14 and then started working in comics in 1994.

Being a 20+ years comic book artist, he HATES doing any sort of appearances due to dealing with all the stereotypical fans and such associated with the comic book industry.

He has finally came out with his own project and has to bite the bullet to help promote the book or his publisher will not moved forward with it.

He has to do a signing and try not killing himself, his reputation and everyone else.
