  • Quick Post On The Avengers Movie Part II

    Robert
    7 May 2012 | 9:58 am
    A question came in on the original post. I'll paraphrase: "Do I need to see any of the previous films to enjoy The Avengers?". I would suggest seeing Thor. Loki is the main villain and Thor is really the setup for The Avengers. Thor sets up Loki's motivation for his actions in The Avengers. With that said, if you haven't seen Thor, they explain enough to bring you up to speed. The Ed Norton Incredible Hulk is referenced, but if you've ever seen an episode of the show or red any issues of The Incredible Hulk, you're good. The one line that definitely ties it into the continuity is one about…

    If you haven't seen The Avengers (aka Avengers Assemble) yet. Run, don't walk, to the nearest theater and see it. You won't gain much by watching it in 3D, but I would love to have seen it in IMAX. The Helicarrier scenes (most of the film) and the final battle scene all look like they were really meant to be seen in IMAX. The only aspect that took me out of the film was that they had Scarlett Johansson's best assets featured on the screen every chance they could. I'm not complaining, but it pulled me out of the story a couple of times. Mark Ruffalo, as much as I don't really like him, brought…

  • Green Lantern Animated Series - Statues

    Following up with a previous post, I thought I would give you a glimpse of the statues coming out of the Green Lantern: Animated Series.   Now that I am enjoying the series, I'm actually considering adding a couple of these to my collection.  (Still not a fan of the Hal Jordan statue.  Though, I will give it a second look after this post.) Each statue is running around $125, which is not that bad for a statue, and they are using different sculptors for various pieces.  Take a look at Atrocitus and Saint Walker.  Before the series, I had seen the Atrocitus…

    I really didn't extrapolate that much on my April 7th blog, so I thought that I would provide you with a bit more information. Season 2 of "Game of Thrones".  Do I really need to explain this one? "Big Bang Theory" Reruns.  This is primarily Jamie's doing.  He is trying to catch up on a series that I have enjoyed for years.   By the way, how many of you try to spot cool items in the apartment or comic book store? "Young Justice".  When this first started, it didn't grab my attention, but with the "Green Lantern: Animated Series" lead in, I'm starting to watch…

    Without a doubt, the melodic, hyper-catchy riffs found in all Mega Man music are great fodder for remixes. Today we've got a solid remix of Mega Ran's take on the MM9 "Maze of Death" song, making this a remix of an interpretation from a new game desiged to look like an old game... gaaah the inception noise is pulling me under! J1Studios is to thank for this particular version of the song, and you should definitely check out Mega Ran's original piece (or buy the album here). Link via The Mega Man Network

    Maximilian's hyper-helpful "Assist Me" series rolls on this week with an in-depth look at Phoenix, who, as we all know, "can't control it" and morphs into her cosmically powered dark persona when beaten with all five bars charged. Lots to consider here, so let's get to it! Side story - at the launch party for the original MvC3 (chronicled here, back in my games press days), I walked up and chose Phoenix as my starter because, well, I liked Phoenix and she seemed like a cool addition to the series. I was instantly told "oooh, bad move" and was promptly stomped (promped?). At first I was taken…

    Tycho: Neal Stephenson was my favorite author for a very long time, and The Diamond Age remains my favorite book, even if I can’t read any of his newer books with so much as an approximation of enjoyment. I should emphasize that when I say “newer books,” some of these books are by now quite old: I loved the original Cryptonomicon, but every book past that has been torment.  I choked down Anathem from about the half-way point, jaw set, lower teeth pressed hard against the upper, determined not to be defeated.  He’d already gotten my money, but I was

    Comics Worth Reading

  • Courtney Crumrin #2

    Johanna
    14 May 2012 | 4:18 pm
    I really liked the first issue of this new color series, and I was curious to see where Ted Naifeh would go in Courtney Crumrin #2. He took us in a direction I didn’t expect, by flashing back to many of the same events of issue #1, but this time showing them from the perspective of Holly, the new girl. (Note, even, that the covers are something of a reversal to each other in positions and facings.) You might fear this would seem repetitive, but it’s not. Instead, it deepens both the new personality and the world she and Courtney inhabit. Instead of simply being a new antagonist…

    Gina Biggs, whom I’ve talked to in the past about her series Red String, has launched a Kickstarter project to publish her fairy tale comic Erstwhile. The project has well exceeded the original goal with, at the time of writing, 23 days left to go. The main release will be a 136-page color hardcover collecting five lesser-known fairy tales. (One of which, “The Farmer’s Clever Daughter”, I previously reviewed when it was a stand-alone comic.) Another $2,000 in pledges, and two more short stories will be added to the book. The stories are illustrated by Biggs, Louisa Roy,…

  • More Thoughts on the Avengers Movie, Particularly Money

    Johanna
    14 May 2012 | 1:37 pm
    The Avengers continues setting box-office records. Last weekend, its second in U.S. release, it brought in over $100 million, which set a second-weekend record and took it to one billion dollars overall. It’s now the 11th biggest moneymaker ever, and it’s still climbing. But there’s more to life than money. Tom Spurgeon reminds us that the film wouldn’t exist without the contributions of many creators. His recognition of the men behind the movie provides short profiles of the comic artists and writers who came up with these characters and their team combinations. The…

    It goes without saying that directing a film featuring a beloved character like, say, the Amazing Spider-Man comes with power. But do you know what comes with power? Marc Webb certainly does. In a new video feature from Sony's make.believe campaign, the director of the upcoming Marvel reboot, "The Amazing Spider-Man" explains what it's like to create on the scale of the wall-crawler. "In terms of creating something like 'Spider-Man,' there's a level of complexity, which it can be satisfying and challenging all at the same time," Webb said. "First, you have to feel something.

  • 'Walking Dead' Showrunner Talks Season Two Complaints, Season Three Planning

    Terri Schwartz
    15 May 2012 | 2:47 pm
    With the third season of "The Walking Dead" already shooting, we're all interested to see how showrunner Glen Mazzara can amp up this next season to pack an even stronger emotional punch than its predecessor. Mazzara and writers Scott Gimple and Angela Kang participated in a new Nerdist podcast to talk about the process of making season two and what we have in store for season three. The hour-long chat is definitely worth a listen if you're a fan of the series, but we've parsed out some of the meatier bits for your reading pleasure. Mazzara addressed the recurring criticism that the first…

  • 'Chronicle' Test Footage Showed Off Early Special Effects

    Kevin P. Sullivan
    15 May 2012 | 2:43 pm
    When director Josh Trank needed to convince studio heads that his crazy idea, a found footage superhero flick, could conceivably work, he created a test reel to put his money where his mouth is. That effects test is included in the newly released Blu-ray and DVD for "Chronicle," but we have an exclusive commentary from Trank himself about the making of the footage. As you can see, the test footage closely resembles the same effects that showed up in the final film, so it undoubtedly gave the studio a good idea of what to expect from Trank and company. You can check out the full video above,…

  • Warm Fuzzy Of The Day: The Tale Of The 5-Year-Old Avenger

    15 May 2012 | 2:00 pm
    Please stop what you're doing right now and warm your heart with this adorable tale of a 5-year-old "Avengers" fan whose chance encounter with cast members Tom Hiddleston and Chris Evans has taken the Internet by storm. Seriously, if you don't "aww" out loud after reading this, you are a total Grinch. The full story, as told by proud papa Erin, can and should be read over at G33kWatch, but in a nutshell, 5-year-old Captain America superfan Edison and his mom were in the right place at the right time when "The Avengers" was filming in NYC's Central Park last year. Thanks to several acts of…

  • 'Hulk' TV Series Still 'In Development,' ABC Chief Says

    Josh Wigler
    15 May 2012 | 12:53 pm
    Will Hulk ever smash the big screen by himself again? The jury's out, it seems. Despite being the most popular character to come out of "The Avengers" by a landslide — no easy feat, considering the competition includes fan-favorite heroes like Iron Man and Thor — Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige has said that there are no current plans for a solo "Hulk" film. Movie prospects aside, we can keep our Hulk hopes alive on the small screen. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the ABC network's entertainment president Paul Lee and learned that plans for a "Hulk" television series are…

    14 May 2012 | 1:00 am
    I always like to point out that if you factor in bonus comics from Book 1 (and 2 so far) and things like that, I've done a fair number more than 700 Multiplex strips, but who doesn't like round numbers? Hooray for round numbers! Do I have anybody around who started reading in the first or second year of the strip?

It's easily my favorite Marvel super-hero flick (Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk round out the top three). DO NOT TALK SPOILERS IN THE COMMENTS BELOW, EVEN WITH SPOILER WARNINGS. Don't even talk vaguely about any specific points in the movie. Please be considerate of other people.

Add a pinch of well-placed cursing and Eldritch! delivers in all these aspects and sneaks in a surprisingly intricate horror-comedy storyline to boot.

    Bradley Cooper started his big film career in comedy, but recent entries in his filmography have shown him flexing his drama muscles. But the actor hasn’t forgotten his comedic roots and you will be able to see him strut in Dax Shepard and David Palmer’s comedy Hit and Run.

You can check out these two new incredible posters below. The first poster uses the POV style shot that was seen in the first trailer that was released.

    Lynn's Notes: Parents of young children can easily carry on two conversations at once. While showing a toddler that you are there and paying attention to them, you can also listen to and process adult communication. This is not something a non-parent can tolerate and now that I'm well past coddling a toddler, I can't stand it either!

    Lynn's Notes: The comment "What you need is a wife," never used to bother me. I didn't think of it as sexist. For the most part, we are more organized; we like to keep things clean and tidy. Today, however, I'm more likely to take the side of the independent woman and say, "What you need is discipline, pride, and self control!" After his marriage, by the way, my brother became extremely tidy!

    Lynn's Notes: Alan would often call my kids "short one," which I thought was charming. One day on a business trip, I got into an elevator with a woman and her young son. I looked down at him and said, "Hiya, short one!" His mom immediately berated me for saying cruel things to a child who had an illness and was abnormally small for his age. AAAUGH!

    Lynn's Notes: This scenario has been a cartoon staple for years. Even though we all try not to duplicate something we've likely seen before, there is always the need to do it your own way, using your own characters. The thing is to try and do it better than the last guy! I didn't succeed in doing this better than Doug Wright ("Nipper") for example, but simply drawing one more mess was enough to make me do this old chestnut one more time. My kids never did make me breakfast in bed - it's not something I like. I did hear from moms who enjoyed it, though - and I emphasize the past tense!

    Read more about the new direction I am taking the comic in and how you can help HERE if you haven’t already. Gigantic thanks to everyone that has donated last week, especially to the new donation subscribers. If you enjoy HE and would like to see it continue and even flourish, I have added $2, $3, and $4 monthly donation subscription options. If you can spare $2 a month for a bunch of comics, I would consider you to be a pretty awesome type of person. And thus ends my first mini story arc. I hope you are enjoying the new format so far. It’s been a lot of fun to write, but…

    If this comic makes no sense or seems out of place, perhaps it is because you didn’t read yesterday’s comic. Oh, what’s that? You didn’t notice the continuity? Well, it’s new. We just had it installed. I’m not sure if I like the color, but we have 30 days to return it, so… If you are still confused, the guys WERE in line to see The Avengers and now they ARE in the theater, taking their seats. A betting man might assume they will next be watching the movie, then perhaps after that the movie will be over. There has been nothing short of an outpouring of…

    I didn’t realize until after I got home from Emerald City Comicon that I had forgotten to mention the 4 year anniversary of The Experiment. I have officially been professionally unemployed making comics for 4 years as of March 31, 2012. People used to ask me all the time, ” How is the experiment going?” To which I would reply, “It’s going. I’m still doing it. There are ups and downs, but I haven’t given up.” The more and more I gave that answer, which I thought to be a bit an over simplified response seeing as how I didn’t want to get into…

    Neil
    9 May 2012 | 2:51 am
    I remember the first time I saw a Maurice Sendak book. It was In The Night Kitchen. I was eleven or twelve, and had been given a small allowance by my parents to buy my littlest sister, who did not read, books, if I would read them to her. I loved books and reading aloud. In The Night Kitchen was liberating, transgressive, and a dream come to life: I understood the nakedness, could not understand why all the chefs were Oliver Hardy but loved that all the chefs were Oliver Hardy. Years later I discovered Little Nemo in Slumberland, and In The Night Kitchen came into focus.As a…

    6 May 2012 | 3:04 pm
    So, last year I recorded a piece for a This American Life episode about adventure. It's a little memoir about adventures, and how I mostly don't have them.It wasn't the piece I originally wrote, though, which was a short story. Or rather, it was the piece I originally wrote. Ira Glass wasn't sure about the personal one, when I sent it over, and wanted a short story, so I wrote a short story instead, but the producers preferred the personal memoir, and outvoted him, so that was what I recorded.Ira Glass still liked the short story, and mentioned to Dave Eggars that I had a short…

The Times keeps its site paywalled, so I thought I'd post the original version of the interview here.

    No, not me. A different one. And if you think some of my friends were startled to see my name at the top of an announcement that “Peter David” had died in a car crash, I gotta tell you it’s inCREDibly creepy to see your own name in that headline. The Peter David who has left us was an editor and writer at “The Economist,” and I actually spoken to him one time. You see, Mr. David had written a book called “Triumph in the Desert” about Operation Desert Storm. And a number of people had come up to me at conventions asking me to sign it. Even though the…

    Peter David
    11 May 2012 | 1:29 pm
    Since it’s not exactly genre, we haven’t discussed the new series “SMASH” which will be wrapping up this coming Monday. So I figure, What the hell. Let’s do that. First of all, I’m kind of astounded that the series got on the air in the first place. It’s a show for which Kathleen and I are the target audience, and that’s NEVER a promising endeavor. The ratings for the Tonys indicate that the vast majority of America doesn’t give a damn about real Broadway, so why in the world would they be captivated by a TV series about made-up Broadway?

    I’ve been saying for ages that I didn’t buy for a minute the notion that President Obama had any problems with gay marriage. Not for a moment did I think that a guy whose parents, less than half a century ago, would not have been allowed to marry in some states, would believe that legally keeping people apart who love each other was an acceptable way of doing things. But I think that he was concerned about the political backlash. Me, I think he should have said screw the backlash and just been honest. Then again, that’s easy for me to say, because I wouldn’t have had…

As you guys have noticed the past couple months the comic schedule has been out of whack as I’ve gotten busier and busier with other projects and work (in a good way). I love doing Studs Up, though, so over the break I’m going to figure out how best to get back to regular programming whether its still three a week, weekly, or something else entirely!

    I started reading Seamus Heffernan's Freedom about two minutes after I first heard about it. It had shown up unsolicited at the comic store where I work in a brown envelope, along with a pleasant note on the stationary of a company called Potato Comics, requesting that we order more of them if we saw fit. I was immediately sucked in. Freedom is a wonderful comic, a triumph of story and art working in combination to deliver a unique, compelling story set squarely in the genre commonly referred to as historical fiction. After finishing its 64 pages, I had to know more about what was to come,…

    Astro City, written by Kurt Busiek, proves him to be one of the most conservative writers of superhero comics today, despite its postmodern metatextuality, in terms of aesthetics, craft and, most importantly, values. Over the last six years, however, I've noticed an element creeping into the series, especially in its treatment of female characters; a sort of watered-down White Man's Burden. (Others have perceived this, too: some "Conservatives" are put off because they expect the Norman Rockwell-like art and subject matter — an inquiry into what makes a hero into a hero — will…

Ultimate X-Men best get with more of the doing rather than just showing us how glamorous action can be if it wants to win over a greater audience.  In all seriousness I read through this entire book in about 90 seconds – there isn’t much meat on these action packed bones.  I almost bet I could hold my breath for the entire time it takes to read this book.  Certainly it’s small change, but when the longevity of a title can be the difference between purchase and not, this stylistic decision could have some negative outcomes. The X-Men are on the back…

  • Comic Review: Batman #9.

    Bretzke
    14 May 2012 | 7:48 am
    Batman #9. So when we look at the Iron-Bat, further to my theory that money is the ultimate super-power, we can see a distinct convergence between DC and Marvel when it comes to the ordinary man fighting crime.  Sure you’ve still got Hawkeye out there with his arrows and good looks, but when you really need to lay out the smack down, apparently you need a suit of metal armour that’s powered and steaming.  It appears DC were looking through old issues of Iron-Man, something along the Mark I lines.  Clunky and massive. But to the case at hand.  Owls have infested the batcave and…

  • Comic Review: Suicide Squad #9, “Dead Man Walking.”

    Bretzke
    13 May 2012 | 8:43 am
    Suicide Squad #9. Taking a page from the book of Marvel, DC is doing a story that goes across the titles like herpes within a fraternity.  You know that quality book Resurrection Man?  Well it turns out the Suicide Squad have been tasked with taking him down, bringing him in and generally being unpleasant to the poor sod whose only power is to come back after a thorough trashing with a new power.  Imagine if he ever came back with the power of love… Regardless, this isn’t where the action really is.  Certainly there’s some biffo and a fair few shots exchanged and…

  • Comic Review: Batgirl #9, “In the Line of Fire”.

    Bretzke
    12 May 2012 | 9:24 am
    Batgirl #9. Going to be honest with you, I’m more than a little sick of this Owls business in the Bat-universe.  I’m fine with them infesting a title, maybe two, but just because something has Bat on the front cover does not give them the go ahead to ruin it.  Point in question – Batgirl #9.  If you’re not up to date with 4 other titles, this becomes a little redundant.  I do hate tie-ins that go across multiple titles, I don’t read them all and it makes me resentful. Batgirl has come across one of the assassins from the Court of Owls – a secret…

  • Comic Review: Dial H #1, “What’s the 411?”.

    Bretzke
    11 May 2012 | 7:42 am
    Dial H for Hero #1. Vertigo is always great for a title that’s going to be a bit off the wall, or at least out of left field.  Daytripper and Greek Street were great examples of fiction taken to its logical end, whereby our imaginations were extended beyond the normal and into the paranormal, while maintaining a hold on reality.  Dial H has a similar feel, but takes us to a disquieting place where retribution over-reaches and feels the tendrils of vengeance. We open with two gents, one fat and arrogant, the other obviously cares for him, possibly too much.  Upon leaving the latter is…

    [Subscribe to the gapingvoid newsletter here.] This made me very happy– Austin Ray from Mailchimp interviewed me about my “fantastic open rates”. Mailchimp, as you know, is what powers my daily cartoon newsletter. With email newsletters, at least with Mailchimp, the average “open rate” is around 6%-8% i.e. for every hundred people you send out to, six to eight people actually open it and read it, as opposed to just sending it to the trash. Our newsletter is 40%+. That’s amazing. We were impressed to find out that Hugh MacLeod‘s MailChimp campaigns consistently maintain a…

I’ve heard that some people were complaining that I didn’t credit the letterer, but — and I could be completely wrong about this — I always assumed those were a product of Kirby himself, since they’re consistent across all of his work in the ’70s, from New Gods on to Devil Dinosaur.

I spent the day at Newbury Comics, in Newton, Massachusetts, signing comic book, t-shirts, and drawing original sketch trading cards for folks that stopped by. It was seriously a great time, and I had a blast with everybody at the Newbury Comics, and getting to hang with like-minded comic fans. Here’s one of my favorite sketch cards that I drew that day featuring Chuck, Succotash, and Grace as three members of one of your favorite superhero team!

  • 24 Hour Comic Day

    Brad Samuelson
    27 Sep 2011 | 9:33 pm
    This saturday is 24hr comic day. If you’re not familiar with it, 24hr comic day is essentially a day when comic creators work on comics for 24 hours straight, with the intended outcome being a 24 page comic. This year, my friend Sean and I decided to participate (along with our friend Ben who will be popping in from time to time). We won’t, however, be producing a 24 page comic – after weighing my options, I figured I could try to make a 24 page comic that may or may not suck, or I could use this time to work on some of the other projects I have going on. I chose the latter.

    The Wizard of Quippley by Adam Casalino

  • Issue 142: “Smoke on the Mountaintop”

    Adam Casalino
    14 May 2012 | 11:00 pm
    Well that tower’s gone.  But what the heck is that green thingy?  Guess we’ll find out next week!

  • Issue 141: “Corporeal Conjurations”

    Adam Casalino
    7 May 2012 | 11:00 pm
    Mage’s duel! There’s some very aggressive sorcery going on up in here. The spell book page was partially inspired by those ol’ illuminated manuscripts (history!).  I’m sure some of you may have tried to read the actual text and was disappointed to find it was illegible.  Unfortunately mystical documents are quite hard to read, and those of us of this world can’t quite decipher them.  Don’t feel bad, I don’t even know what it says. Next week everything blows up.  Promise.

  • Issue 140: “Elf Fire”

    Adam Casalino
    30 Apr 2012 | 11:00 pm
    I’d say her offer was revoked.  The elfheim seems to be holding a grudge against our intrepid Algerbane.  Will Mayatha be able to fend off this evil sorcerer’s attacks?  What tricks might be up her sleeve.  Mage battle royale coming up next week!

  • Issue 139: “An Unexpected Offer”

    Adam Casalino
    23 Apr 2012 | 11:00 pm
    Whoa.  What’s going to happen now, huh?  Mayatha totally turned the tables. Find out our nameless Elfheim’s response next week. In other news, don’t forget to check out my ongoing tumblr blog http://somefiction.tumblr.com/.  I update it almost every weekday with new short stories.  Fun times!

    I haven’t done this in a while, but I thought I’d share what I’ve been reading lately.  Maybe you like to read and will find these books interesting.  Maybe you hate to read and will find this blog annoying.  Either way, I’ve done my job. On with the books:   Musashi by Eiji Yoshikawa.  Really interesting fictionalized account of the legendary samurai.  I haven’t read that much Japanese literature, but I do know a bit about the history of feudal Japan (the Edo period at least).  This book is beautifully translated into English, is engrossing,…

    And now we come to the final of the four pieces that I’m displaying in the Anthrocon 2012 art show.Putting Your Foot In It, pen-and-ink on 11x14 in. bristolI did this with my usual tools: sable brush, pen with a Speedball 513 nib, and India ink. Those are my tools of choice. You have to be comfortable with whatever it is you’re using and I’ve always felt that I produce my best work when I use those tools.This piece is simple yet effective.

This piece is titled “Three Sour Notes”."Three Sour Notes", Gouache and ink on Aquabord, 10x14 in.I’m proud of this particular piece and believe me, painting this work wasn’t easy.

    As a favor, I thought I’d do a review of a small press comic that I picked up while attending the MoCCA Festival 2012 – Casey the Pillow Fighter by Gary Cohen and Louie Chin.Casey the Pillow Fighter is a short, color comic. It tells the story of a pillow fighter named…well, um, Casey! This knight from the land of Napalot is sent forth by the king to make the kingdom bigger. How does this happen? By handing out free t-shirts! Well, that’s something you don’t hear about everyday. However, this soon leads Casey and his people into a conflict with the Food Fighters…

    admin
    16 May 2012 | 3:32 am
    I have never read a BPRD comic. Not that I have anything agains BPRD, Hellboy, or anything of the sort. I just have never found the time to get caught up on the series. So, when I saw a BPRD comic with a #1 on the cover, I figured it was time to see what all the fuss was bout. It didn’t hurt that Tyler Crook, artist of the ONI OGN, Petrograd, signed on as the artist for this arc. Caught between bat-faced monsters, a devastating earthquake, and the mad science experiments of Zinco, Devon and Fenix form an uneasy alliance in order to get to safety! My knowledge of the cast of BPRD comes…

    It looks like the company behind the RPG, Pathfinder, are taking their game elsewhere.

Dynamite announced that the ongoing series, debuting in August, will be written by Jim Zubkavich with art by Andrew Huerta. They are also announcing, in true Dyanamite fashion, variant covers by Lucio Parillo, Matteo Scalera, Dave Dorman, and Erik Jones!!!

    FedWatch: When the FBI went after stolen Joe Simon artwork. Towards the end even Joe Simon clearly had enough cause to believe that his own daughter might have been the culprit as he admitted as much to the F.B.I, but this might have been an admission of a man who wasn’t up to facing yet another legal battle, as he was about to launch another copyright/ownership claim for Captain America. Despite the legalities of the case it remains a fact that at the beginning of the investigation Joe Simon was extremely adamant that the art in question had never been returned to him by DC Comics. …

I have three red/orange blood parrot cichlids of different sizes as pets. Normally, I did not care about them until earlier this year when I started to feed them. I’ve grown to like them over time.
