Writer JimmyZ Johnston was a guest at Tremendicon. I have met JimmyZ a few times before. He is always a great guy to talk to about comics and life.
I got to hang out and have a great conversation with JimmyZ. JimmyZ and I talked about life and how things change. JimmyZ co-wrote several comics and series with the incredible Cullen Bunn. One of JimmyZ’s dreams was to own his own comic shop and restaurant. He opened his own shop and loved it but worked all of the time. Because of the craziness of owning your own business, JimmyZ didn’t have any time to write comics. He has now closed his shop and is back in the comic-creating and game-creating world.
I completely related to JimmyZ. He was doing what he could to make a living for his family. He lived his dream and realized how hard it was on him. And now he has come back to another one fo his dream.
By the time JimmyZ and I were done talking, I felt like I had known him well for a decade. I really like him as a person. And I really enjoy his writing and co-writing. I bought a few comics from him and will be buying more.
JimmyZ, I am glad you are back in comics. I cannot wait to check out the games you are creating. I hope we get to hang out again soon.
Thanks. Tremendicon for bringing him in.
Stay Geeky!
