Martheus and Kevin on Live at 9
We got the opportunity to sit down with Live at 9 of WREG news 3 this morning to talk about Defiance, the movie based on the graphic novel, Jetta. It was a very good interview as we explained how we started and how the book made the leap from idea to printed page to film. Take a look at our interview on our media page.
We will be also updating the web stories a little later this weekend. Sorry for the lateness. We will resume our regular schedule next Friday as always!

Screaming Tiki Recap!
Jetta panel with special guests
We’re finally back from Screaming Tiki Con in Ohio and we had a great time.
Our Jetta: Tales of the Toshigawa panel on Saturday was a very big success with the attendees as we video conferenced in Michelle Laurent (Jetta), Alex Benjamin (Kim), Bruce Williams (Producer), and Calvin Roberts (Director of Photography). We talked about the humble beginnings of MAW Productions as well as the production behind the movie, Defiance. There were some excellent questions asked and new readers made. We could not ask for anything more from a panel. Thanks to everyone that came out to be a part of this event.
Flash is in the house!
It was also great to hang out with John Wesley Shipp (The Flash) and Aaron Smolinski (Clark Kent in Superman the movie). We also got the opportunity to talk with Michael Bell who has such a long list of character voice work that I can’t even begin to name it all. He was such a fun guy to hang around and talk to. If you see this guy at a con, make sure you talk to him and listen to his stories.
Stars Buford, Roy and Muley greet the fans.
On Sunday, we took part in the Muley’s Tiki Talent Review puppet show, staring Muley the Mule, Buford the Dog, Missy Mule, and Roy Duck. The crowd was filled and the response was tremendous. Find out more about our lovable Mule at www.muleythemule.com.
As well, be on the lookout for video of the show to be placed up here soon!
All in all, we had a wonderful time and look forward to seeing everyone on the convention trail soon. Next stop, Chigaco Comic Con in August!
