Brimstone: They Told Me It Was Impossible And I Did It Anyway
January 10/2022
"Make sure you are putting in the effort! Work ethic is a tremendous part of building a brand, career, business and overall DREAM! Think of it this way, you can plant a flower; but if you don’t water it… it won’t grow right? It can still die even if you’re taking care of it; but you can always nurse it back to health if it’s withering — as long as you are on top of it! Once the flower grows, it still needs tending and eventually dies; however if you continue giving it the attention and love it deserves — it’ll keep blooming for years to come! Think of your dreams the same way. Regardless of what anyone says, if you harvest your dreams… they will blossom for everyone to see. Especially the naysayers." [READ HERE]

"Brimstone and the Borderhounds: Critical M.A.S.S. is the kind of thing that most comic book fans dream of—a massive team-up with a bunch of heroes (though, in the case of this particular comic, misfits is probably a more appropriate term), fighting crime and monsters together with their combined…er, “powers”. In this case the team-up ends up being more of a party, which is probably exactly what would happen if my best friends and I all got together and had superpowers and decided to fight crime. Hilarious, bizarre, and tons of fun, Critical M.A.S.S. is thrilling from start to finish, made entertaining by the dynamic cast of characters, quirky dialogue, and pop-off-the-page art."

'Brimstone and The Borderhounds' 1-9 Comic Review

"Hound Comics’ Brimstone and the Borderhounds has an interesting premise–bounty hunters for souls that have escaped. It’s nothing revolutionary and has been done before, but in Borderhounds’ case it’s got enough going on and enough plot development to keep it really interesting through each issue. This comic’s got a Supernatural sort of feel to it just from reading the description, something that will surely appeal to fans of media that focuses on the preternatural and the realms of hell (and beyond). It also explores a variety of different themes such as prejudice, power struggle, and discrimination." [READ ARTICLE HERE]

"Folks visiting the Community Center over the weekend, you were not alone. As a matter of fact there were roughly 3,000 spectators who turned out in droves to the very first Comic Con to visit Victoria. Amid some controversy with a monster truck promotion, the first annual Victoria Comic Con was a huge breath of fresh air for local nerds, nerds-at-heart, toy enthusiasts or just anyone who wanted to have a great time. Among those in attendance were comic book author/producer Brimstone and WWE legend Kevin Nash." [READ ARTICLE HERE]

On the Beat with Brimstone at Wizard World 2013
AUGUST 28/2013
"Johngy finally met Brimstone! That could make for a great opening sentence in an odd novel. Instead, it describes what happened at Wizard World. I had tried to meet Brimstone at several previous conventions, but our schedules just never allowed the connection.
Anyway, it was worth the wait, as the experience was great. Brimstone is a character (pun slightly intended), but he is also a very astute and successful businessman. The "character" part stems from his wrestling career (or vice versa). The transition to a successful post-wrestling career is both refreshing and very interesting....." [READ ARTICLE HERE]

Bumblefoot and Brimstone Helping Out by Bringing in the Heat!
JANUARY 30/2013
"As far as the trafficking is concerned, it kind of fell on me. A couple of good friends of mine were involved in this foundation and they told me that this is something that’s been taking place in our own backyard – I had to find out more information. The more I dug the crazier it got. Apparently, there have been countless instances here in NYC for many years! A matter of fact, there has been a couple of major busts that have taken place recently. The victims were young woman who were being trafficked as sex slaves… It’s a really crazy. Not only woman; but young children are being taken as well! It’s just one of those things; I’m all about fighting for the ones who can’t." [READ ARTICLE HERE]

A Wrestler's Tale: 'Trust me, it hurts'
JANUARY 4/2009
"As Darren Aronofsky's ‘The Wrestler', starring Mickey Rourke, has poignantly reminded viewers, the life of a wrestler off the ring is hardly a dreamlike one. "Brimstone", a professional wrestler from New York, gave us his account. For many, the world of wrestling is all about glamour, thrills and glory. In the US, wrestlers are revered by adoring crowds as true stars. Yet, behind the glitter lies a more sombre reality, portrayed in newspapers' "in brief" sections." [READ ARTICLE HERE]

APRIL 27/2007
"In the Bible, fire and brimstone are known as “the torments suffered by sinners in hell”. But here on Long Island, Brimstone is anything but demonic.

Although professional wrestler, Will Kaye (AKA Brimstone) is a destroyer in the ring, he’s a smart, well-spoken family man with his heart in the right place. His larger-than-life character is about to hit the comic books." [READ ARTICLE HERE]
