Thomas Jane attended I-Con 30 last weekend as a guest of honor. He chatted with fans, signed autographs, spoke at a few panels and even allowed for a long, sprawling interview in-between, the result of which is this story:

There’s also this bonus Q&A:

I’ve been following Jane’s career since Deep Blue Sea and 61* and believe The Punisher is a rare gem in a decade-long avalanche of comic book movies, most of which start to look the same after a while. If you haven’t read it, his Bad Planet comic series is a thoughtful sci-fi journey with some incredible artwork. I actually brought a copy of Bad Planet No. 1 with me to his table and had him sign it before I introduced myself as the guy from Men’s Fitness who would be doing the interview.
“Oh, right, we’ve got a thing later,” he said, then looked down puzzled at the comic. “Wait, you’re into this shit, too?”
Yeah, I’m into this shit. If you didn’t know about the other side of Thomas Jane, take a look at my story for Men’s Fitness, and check out the home site of RAW Entertainment, Jane’s independent comic and film studio which he co-founded with Tim Bradstreet: http://rawstudios.typepad.com/
