Superman Celebration was Awesome!!!
We had a blast at Superman Celebration this year. Thanks to the city of Metropolis for inviting us. This year was extra special as this was the first convention that Martheus and Janet Wade’s son, Anakin, attended. As you can see by the photo at left, he was the coolest person in the MAW Productions crew. (More photos will be put up here soon.) Lin Workman, Tim Brown, Andrew Chandler, Adam and Penny Shaw, Jay Chupe, Kevin Williams, Janet Wade and Martheus all did an awesome job with the programing for Artist and Writers Alley.
It was a blast to meet Gail Simone and John Ostrander. Martheus got to show both of them his portfolio featuring a Wonder Woman story that he is writing and illustrating. The story will be placed up for free in the art gallery and the web stories page, so keep a look out. It was also fun to hang out with Mike Norton. He and Martheus attended the University of Memphis and since then, Mike has sky rocketed to the top of the comic book charts at DC Comics.
Muley and “Wonder Woman” Joan hosted the Kids’ Costume Contest and it was so much fun with 53 entrants! Lots of great kids participated, and the audience was wonderful. Superman was fun for Muley to banter with while the judges deliberated.
Jetta was a hit. Thanks to everyone who attended our panels on Friday and Saturday. Revelations about the future of Jetta and information on the movie option was discussed. A fun time was had by all. We hope the city invite us back in 2010. If so, we will see you guys next year. Make plans early and come out to have some fun.

JETTA: DEFIANCE OPTIONED FOR MOTION PICTURE
Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa - Defiance
JETTA – ‘Defiance’ Tales of the Toshigawa
Lizard Brain Productions is developing a live-action adaptation of Martheus Wade’s JETTA, a multi-genre action series. Lizard Brain filmmaker Bruce Williams said, “the project is in the very early stages, and the excitement here is palpable.” Williams promised “a high degree of faithfulness” to the graphic novel, and adds, “We are thrilled to get Calvin Roberts, from Ultraviolet and Star Wars fame, to work with us on the project.
JETTA is the story of one woman with a life-changing destiny. Shianndrea Toshigawa is the ‘Chosen One’, meant to lead the Toshigawa warriors against the evil of her father, Terminus, and his organization, the Knave. Death and destruction rain down over Japan as a war for control rages in this tale. However, through the anger, terror, and blood…a savior is born – whether she likes it or not.
