About The Author:
NateBest
Member Since 1/26/2004
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.

Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.

Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).

It was a ton of fun to meet him at the SD Comic-Con last summer... I've got to get that poster that he signed/drew on framed :)

It’s so cool that DC Universe is allowing new talents to animate their projects, it’s a shame I don’t have much time to create one. Good luck to those of you who try it.

Kudos to DC for this great concept. But is this why we'll never get All-Star Batman and Robin # 11 from Jim Lee? Sigh.

Cool contest. Jim Lee's art is awesome and he seems like a cool guy. Too bad only half that statement is true for McDbag.

I'm hoping I have time to attempt something... They give you most of the stuff to work with (storyboards, 3d models, a download for 3D software, etc) which should make it a LOT easier than trying to do it from scratch...

Too bad there's only 24 hours in a day :o(
