Artner-in-crime Kyle Burles and I canvassed all across Calgary to get our books into stores last week, and I will now share with you the stores that carry them!
But first, for you DIGITAL enthusiasts, all digital versions of our comics are currently available through IndyPlanet.com at: http://www.indyplanet.us/?s=Michael+McAdam — But look for an announcement about that coming soon!

Okay, you all have to harass Trevor to get his Indie section up and running. The problem is he doesn’t have a system for local creators yet, and we all need to get on him so he can get on it! Let’s all get our books in there, people!

Chris the owner is often talked about as being a great friend to the local creators. I found this to be true!
THUNDER THURSDAY: What’s coming in 2018
December 21, 2017
As an Indie comics creator, I know I have to put my very best foot forward when I publish my comics for the world to see; in a vast sea of other creators, all of us vying for a piece of the comics-world readership, I need to bring my “A” game each and every time. And that’s why, as 2017 winds down and 2018 looms on the horizon, with all my plans for “bigger and better” in the coming year, I am very pleased to announce the completely refreshed look for Two Gargoyle’s beloved Canadian hero, THUNDER.
The first four issues (which comprise the THUNDER Graphic Novel) are being completely redrawn with fresh, new art by the incredibly talented Mark Marvida, with scintillating colors by his brother Marvin!
The script will remain (mostly) the same, with minor tweaks and edits for flow– not so dramatic a refresh as the art, but a refresh nonetheless! My goal is to have the Thunder Graphic Novel carried by Chapters/Indigo all across Canada (a lofty goal I’m not 100% sure how to pursue yet, but there it is) and I want to showcase the very best THUNDER that I can!
Here is a sneak preview, a side-by-side comparison of the first three pages! Keep watching for the KICKSTARTER for Thunder #1 Second Edition, coming in the new year!

THUNDER meets FREELANCE!
September 26, 2017
After I read Chapterhouse Comics’ Freelance, (written by Andrew Wheeler, Jim Zub, with art by Vineda Vireak), and saw that there is another Canadian hero with white hair, I had to have Lance and Thunder meet up!
GLOAMING #3 Script COMPLETE!
June 15, 2017
First draft of issue #3 of Gloaming completed today; very exciting day for this writer! Now it’s off to Kyle Burles for his read-through and then we hammer out errors, critiques, and begin the refining process. It’s Miller Time! Or, in my house, time for another Starbucks!
Hello, Punch!
June 13, 2017
Mr. Punch is a Britishly flamboyant mage who debuted in the pages of Twilight Detective Agency #1, and the response to his presence was tremendous. He is easily the number one fan-requested character I’ve created, both for story reasons and “appearing in tight leather pants” reasons.
Artist Jeremy Thew and I have therefore embarked on giving Mr. Punch his very own comic, The Magickal Mister Punch, which is in the works and will probably debut sometime in 2018. However, we believe in not leaving our audience hanging that long, and so we present to you the webcomic, “Hello, Punch!” which will introduce the character more thoroughly and give you a taste of what’s to come in his own eponymous title!
I’ve decided to upload a new page of Hello, Punch! every Tuesday to honour my friend Sherri, who often says she would like to punch Tuesday in the face, and so, voilà– Punch Tuesdays!
Please read and enjoy!
In Progress: Gloaming 3
March 28, 2017
Kyle Burles sent me a tentative work-in-progress cover for Gloaming 3 today! See the picture below. I will have an “ashcan” of Gloaming 3- meaning a black and white 3-page handout preview of the comic- at the Calgary Expo at the end of April, so be sure to stop by the Two Gargoyles table and pick one up!
