  • Go, Read: Zapiro On Letting Go Of Nelson Mandela

    Tom Spurgeon
    19 Jun 2013 | 4:10 pm
    There's a pretty nice little mini-survey of recent Zapiro cartoons about Nelson Mandela folded into this article. It's hard to imagine anyone in North America offering up a similar series of forthright opinions on a beloved political figure, particularly on such difficult issues as legacy and the roles a family and allies might play in seeking to control certain aspects of dialogue about the figure in question. It's also interesting to me that Zapiro hasn't done a cartoon for Mandela's passing ahead of time; I suspect it is less the assertion of simply taking a pass on the opportunity as it…

    Friend, video gamer, and game video-er Brian recently came to me with a cool piece of video content I think you may find quite. . . memorable. Ahh yes. What he’s done is mashed up Kaskade and deadmau5’s “I Remember” with scenes from Remember Me, to moving effect. If you’ve played the game, you’ll likely note that the song fits in quite well with its themes, tones, and even its actual soundtrack. If you haven’t played the game, get on it! It’s rad. Anyway, without further ado, here’s Brian’s vid. Just please be aware that it does contain some…

    Ben Kuchera: “Also interesting: Snowden interacted a lot with Ben Kuchera, way back.” That tweet was sent while I was at E3, and of course the writer used my Twitter name, which meant I saw it. Twitter is weird that way, as long as someone uses your Twitter account’s name, you see every conversation about you, even if people aren’t talking to you. It's like the stinkier version of your palm itching if money is coming your way; you can see every argument and petty disagreement in which you're involved. I was aware of Edward Snowden, the now-famous NSA technical…

    Comics Worth Reading

    I’ve always found stories of media censorship and attempted restraint interesting, because what offends people can be so arbitrary (and sometimes silly). This “oral history of taboo-breaking TV comedy” (as the subtitle has it) presents a collection of concerns over some of the best TV shows of all time, as told by the creators and executives involved. They’ll Never Put That on the Air The opening chapter serves as a brief history of the sitcom, including some reminiscences of Your Show of Shows and The Dick Van Dyke Show and discussion of the single advertising sponsor…

    The Howling Shout! Factory has two new horror Blu-ray collector’s editions releasing today, June 18, as part of their Scream Factory line. First up is the werewolf flick The Howling (1981), starring Dee Wallace and Patrick Macnee. Wallace plays a TV news anchor who’s sent away to recuperate after an encounter with a serial killer. Unfortunately, the vacation town is full of werewolves. It’s directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins) and written by John Sayles based on a novel by Gary Brandner. There were eventually seven (!) sequels — maybe because it’s a terrific title…

    The impressively talented artist Hope Larson (A Wrinkle in Time, Chiggers) is demonstrating a new ability. Last year, she wrote and directed her first short film, Bitter Orange, and it is now available to view online. It’s set in the 1920s and stars Brie Larson (no relation), Brendan Hines, and James Urbaniak. It’s the story of Myrtle, a woman who’s presented with a tough choice to advance her career, complicated by the presence of a bootlegger. The poster, shown here, is by Becky Cloonan, with lettering by Dustin Harbin. You can find out more about the experience in this…

    Robot Chicken DC Comics Special The Robot Chicken DC Comics Special comes to DVD (suggested retail $14.98) and Blu-ray ($19.98) on July 9. It’s only 23 minutes of stop-motion comedy, but they’re promising more than two hours of bonus content, including deleted scenes, outtakes, and commentaries. I haven’t watched Robot Chicken before, but I love the idea of a parody series, especially with these voices (although I hope that official approval doesn’t mean watered-down comedy).

    19 Jun 2013 | 4:33 am
    I don't think there's any such thing as a "perfect" game, but The Last of Us comes pretty damn close to my definition. The story, acting, motion capture, blend of gameplay elements, graphics and sound all mix to create an incredibly enjoyable overall experience. The single player and multiplayer are well-balanced individual components that serve to enhance and inform eachother without relying on or overriding the other. Even the premise, which can loosely be described as "a zombie apocalypse" game, manages to avoid feeling tired and cliche by not only adding a little twist to the "infection"…

    For the past few years I've drawn my comic entirely in the computer, from sketching all the way through colors. But when I started ten years ago, I would do all the initial sketches on paper, and then scan them into the computer to finish them. It led to a huge pile-up of paper that I've been storing for the past decade. Long story short, I recently decided to clean out the closets in my office, and came across said mountain of artwork. I'd hung onto it all these years because it felt like I should; but really it's just been taking up space. Space that I need for other stuff. It's time to get…

    by Brett White Comic Book Resources has a great new interview with Archie Comics CEO Jon Goldwater. The interview further dispels any lingering zombie nonsense that initially surrounded the film, and goes on to shed some light on just what the creative team has in mind. The film will be written by "Glee's" Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, and directed by Jason Moore. Moore recently helmed the young adult comedy "Pitch Perfect," making him an inspired choice to bring the Archie gang to life for the first time on the big screen.

(They’re not super tight, obviously, or she would see Becky a little more often, but they go out clubbin’ now and then, as we’ve seen on a couple of occasions. I put two of them in the Related Strips.) Anyway. See you Monday. JOIN THE CONVERSATION!

    I don’t plan to actually show this promo for a few reasons, but you get the idea from the set-up here. What would be on your Top Five Movies Filmed and Set in Chicago? (Meaning no Dark Knight. And no, the “Gotham City is basically Chicago” argument does not fly with me.) Mine would be: 5) Ferris Bueller’s Day Off 4) Hoop Dreams 3) The Untouchables 2) Call Northside 777 1) High Fidelity… duh (Kurt’s list would be a little different — it’d probably have Adventures in Babysitting and The Fugitive on it in place of Northside and Hoop Dreams.)…

    A year ago, I brought in a full-time assistant, Jen Troy, to help out in the studio. She's been amazing: There are a bajillion tasks she's been helpful with, both in the production of the strips, shipping your Sheldon orders to you, keeping up the sites, and more. But she's mainly been my Jill-Of-All-Trades on the documentary film: If there was a task on the film that needed help, Jen was there to do it. Anyway! When Jen took a vacation to New Zealand a while back, and mentioned she was going to the location where they filmed Hobbiton... I asked her to write up a travelogue for you guys!

    We found out back in 2011 that the Peter Farrelly and Bobby Farrelly were planning a sequel to their hit 1994 comedy Dumb and Dumber with original stars Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, which was later confirmed by the Farrellys. Since then the project has had ups and downs, from Carrey departing the project to Daniels saying it would begin production this summer to Warner Brothers deciding they would not be greenlighting the sequel. With all of that now in the past, the Farrelly brothers look to the future. After WB decided they didn't want to make the movie, it was time to begin shopping it…

    Lynn's Notes: After he was bathed and dried, it took another hour or more to comb out his fur and get him to look good again. The final touch was an elastic band in his hair to hold it away from his eyes. The ability to see, however, gave him a clear shot at the ravine behind our house or the nearest pile of stink he could roll in. I don't think he ever stayed clean for more than a day, but it was worth the effort just to have him smell good for a change!

    Lynn's Notes: Robert's Fine Jewellery was one of the flagship stores in Lynn Lake. It reminded me so much of my dad's store in North Vancouver, that I had to include it in the strip. Having grown up surrounded by giftware, jewellery, and trinkets, I was never too interested in owning any of it, but after I left home and had my ears pierced, things changed. I started to really appreciate jewellery, and once in awhile even though I felt guilty for doing so, I'd buy myself something small, something nice.

    When I remembered the "my heart skipped a beat" line in comic [187] and pointed it out to Fred, his reaction was quite amusing. Idioms involving the heart are a common thing, many of them left over from primitive times when anatomy was poorly understood, people thought the heart was the seat of the mind and soul, and the brain was an unimportant squishy thing. In times like this though, the unintentional double meanings can be disconcerting. This m...[permalink]

What sets this apart is the honest and funny reactions to this calamity, and the genuine scares along the way.

Too many things are stacking up, and I'm paying attention over on Twitter and Tumblr and such, but not here, and really, this is still the most important place to check.Today I was interviewed by Lev Grossman (author of The Magicians) for Time Magazine about Ocean at the End of the Lane. Lev and I have been having a conversation about fantasy since he interviewed me about Stardust in 1998. (Although one time the conversation was a threesome with Joss Whedon.) Lev does not appear to have perceptibly aged in 15 years. I find this suspicious. Also, we…

    Originally published December 4, 1998, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1307   A PETER DAVID FILM MARVELMANIC (conclusion) Jack and Rose gasped and threw themselves back against the wall, unable to take their eyes off the spectacle of hundreds upon thousands of spiders. They were skittering along the ceiling, a black mass heading toward, presumably, safety. Jack watched where they were headed, turned to Rose, and said, “If the spiders are going that way, it’s good enough for me. Come on!” He grabbed Rose’s hand and pulled, and the girl needed no further urging. “Follow us!” she…

It had been a serene slumber, for he had had his usual pleasant dreams. It had been dreams of his ownership of the Marvelmanic, the biggest, most powerful of its kind. He dreamt of others looking on in amazement, Marveling at what he had constructed. He was the king of all there was, he was the surveyor of a world that looked upon him with awe.

I answered it, and there was a representative from MCI on the other end. “Hello, Mr. David,” said the rep. “We’re calling to verify your new MCI calling card.” I, like most of you out there, get calls from people trying to sell stuff all the time.

    Originally published November 6, 1998, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #1303 No one can argue the absolute necessity of trying to get new fans, new readers on board. To present stories and concepts that will ideally stir the interests of those who are not currently reading comics and bring them into the hobby. The last time that comics had massive or rapid expansion, it was driven by the collector mentality. The characters and stories were of no interest; rather, comics were being bought and sold purely as commodities. Purchasers had as much emotional attachment to the characters as stockbrokers…

We advertise them as being terrible, we make it clear we’re not artists, we even show them examples of work we’ve done in the past, and yet, people keep asking for them — which is great, because they’re a lot of fun. So, since we’re all back now, here are the Terrible Sketches I did at HeroesCon this year! Michael wanted Batroc (and because I try to do them without reference, I got the color of…

    I have been told that there are some people who won’t understand this comic. Although that is nothing new for me, I thought it might be good to explain this one a bit. The joke in this comic is based on a very iconic scene, from the first “Superman” movie, which starred Christopher Reeve in the role of Superman. Lois Lane gets killed when her car falls into a hole created by a massive earthquake. She dies, buried in her car in the desert. After finding Lois Lane dead, Superman flies around the Earth’s perimeter so quickly that it reverses the planet’s…

    DC Women Kicking Ass

  • That Time Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor "Did It" in the new 52

    19 Jun 2013 | 6:34 am
    Wonder Woman and sex. Sex and Wonder Woman. The two seem to be a “teasing twosome” in the parlance of television tropes. In fact, if you mention Wonder Woman to Grant Morrison he’ll go on and on about the two. But Wonder Woman having sex or even a hot romance was a thing that, ironically, died off pre-Crisis. Within the confines of the comics code, Wonder Woman seemed to be having some good times off page. That’s HER soul mate Steve Trevor who was her boyfriend and finally husband on one earth and husband and father of her daughter on another became an older co-worker…

    So yesterday DC announced that Wonder Woman was getting a second book for the first time in 61 years. YAY! Oh, it’s in a book with Superman. That will focus on the couples’ relationship. I thought Zack Smith’s comment was spot on: So what will this book be about? The writer has been busy answering questions on Twitter including this one But what does that mean? Oh, you know what it means! Oh my. The reaction to the book has been mixed although the people who don’t like MY thoughts on it have been quite clear because they’ve been all over me in the comments,…

  • Hello Kitty/DC Comics Merchandise Mash-Ups Coming Next Year

    18 Jun 2013 | 6:56 am
    Sanrio has signed a deal with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment and DCE  a new line launching next year which will have Hello Kitty dress up like DC Comics superheroes. The line will include all kinds of merchandise including clothing, accessories and even food.  This seems to be another example, as in the Target commercial posted this morning, of DCE and WB aggressively pursuing the female dollar anywhere but the comics the characters are appearing in.

The range of merchandise was wide; housewares, clothing and toys. At the Target near me there is two aisles of stuff some of which I’ve shown. Of course, I was happy to see that Wonder Woman was getting prominence and had her own line of merchandise. Yesterday a Target commercial with the Justice League showed up.

  • The Brilliance of DC Comics' Marketing Synergy!

    Man of Steel is the biggest non Batman superhero hit movie they’ve had in … I don’t know how many years. And the movie did really well in the demographics drawing in a demographic of 44% women. Compare that to Ironman 3 whose opening weekend had an audience that was 31% female audience. Most people attribute much of that bump to Amy Adams playing Lois Lane. If you’ve seen the movie you know that it keeps to the canon as far as their relationship since before the mishegas started in the new 52. The kiss the two shared was shown almost a year ago at SDCC so I’m not…

    Invincible has been consistently good the past few months.  Robert Kirkman is trying to figure out a way to surprise us with Mark Grayson, and #103 is a great example of that.  But some parts keep #103 from being a perfect issue. Mark Grayson has always been relatable when it came to his “human” problems.  He’s had bad luck in love, had to make hard decisions that had bad repercussions in his personal life, and has grown into a fine adult.  The new plot line of Eve being pregnant, and getting engaged, is a logical step for our hero.  The reader can feel the love and excitement that…

    Doctors and bike mechanics, always telling you you’re not doing it right. Is it just me? I fill my tires once a week and got scolded by the mechanic for not doing it 2-3 times a week. In the past I’ve been scolded for having my bike in the rain (I was riding it at the time), locking it up outside (I was inside at the time), and, my personal favorite, riding on bumpy roads. I didn’t make the roads, mechanic dude. I just ride them. This ever happen to you?

    19 Jun 2013 | 12:34 am
    Good films make me think about more than just the film. I said it in my review & I’ll say it again. I really liked Man of Steel. There seems to be some common complaints specifically about the ending of the film I try and wrap my head around. In the Defense of Zod: Zod was a military leader. He was not a scientist, nor was he a society planner. He was a conqueror. Zod believed his main purpose was to insure the survival of Krypton. Then why didn’t he go along with Jor El’s plan? Because he didn’t view the human race as something worth keeping. Why didn’t he…

    I went in knowing pretty much the story line. The Superman myth is a bit too well known not to & if Zod is your bad guy well you can fill in his back-story to match. Let me say that I really enjoyed the film, and aside from a few directions the storytelling took I think it’s the best I’ve seen this year. One of the biggest problems I have with film-making today is that, the box office is make or break on opening weekend. A way filmmakers have tried to sway moviegoers to their seats opening weekend  is to entice them with a mystery. Whether it’s a plot point, a villain or any big…

    So here is what I found wrong with Jack Reacher not being  a fan of the book series or reading any of them at all. 1. Tom Cruise can pull off tough okay, but no one will ever buy him as ruthless.  He shoots a unarmed unfingered man in the face at the end of the film. Even Dirty Harry let the punk reach for the gun. 2. Don’t have all your bad guys be afraid of  a man that no one would fear. The guy who has no fingers not Tom Cruise. 3. Most Goodwills I have been in don’t have a cool leather jacket section. 4. Why does everyone have a cool 70′s muscle car in the film? 5.

    Time Samplers, a self-published comic out of Paranoid American, is probably one of the most original story concepts I’ve come across. It follows two underground musicians, the twins Lex and Cal, as they transverse time to investigate past conspiracy theories and apply the knowledge gained in present conflicts. This is achieved through use of the “Wake Initiated Lucid Dream (W.I.L.D.) Machine” which creates parallel timelines using historical artifacts connected to specific moments in time. This allows them to muck about in history, without affecting the present. Since this is only the…

With quirky characters who have to cross the status-lines of high school cliques in order to save the day, witty dialogue, and a climax involving killer robots, Prudence Shen and FEH’s book has something for everyone. You wouldn’t expect Nate and Charlie to be friends. Charlie’s the laid-back captain of the basketball team, and Nate is the neurotic, scheming president of the robotics club. But they are friends, however unlikely — until Nate declares war on the cheerleaders, and the cheerleaders retaliate…

    June has snuck up on me, and my move looms, but I am nevertheless prepared for next week’s Boston Pride Parade with my sweet Scarlet Witch costume. My last one for the foreseeable future, but hopefully there’s a group in DC I can connect with! Any tips on a headdress would be most appreciated. And any Bostonians should come out to support the LGBT community and see Comicopia’s awesome array of costumes. So far we’ve got a Wonder Woman, Storm, Captain America, Superman, Rogue, Aquaman, and Batwoman. The twist is that they’re all supposed to have some kind of WWII/1940s pin-up flare.

I haven’t noticed a drop in followers, which is also good. But I have gotten the complaint that (especially if you follow links from Twitter) you have about four layers of links to go through before you get to the actual source, which is not good (though I do link the source as the content source, that’s easy to overlook).

    You ever think about how your otaku lifestyle can be a direct result of how your parents behaved back then? What if your father’s history had a role to all this? What if you never knew until later in your life?  As most of you readers may know, I have a history of depression. I’ve been fighting depression for as long as I have been diagnosed with it. For a while, I thought there was no family history of depression. My mother often told doctors that there was no genetic inheritance. A few years ago, however, I learned more about my father and his battle with himself. My father was…

From the creator of NANA came a series that was not only romantic, stylish, comedic and witty, but it was one that really hit home for many teenagers wondering where their lives will be headed after their school lives end. The adventures of Yukari “Caroline” Hayasaka and her friends had some inspirational quotes that will take one to their intended paradise.

Yet, this is part of life: television shows come and go and some networks change programs as quickly as some people change channels.

    There is really no word in English that can be used as a direct equivalent for the Russian word “amerikos.” While “Stupid American,” “Yank,” or “Yankee” seem to be logical translations, they really can’t capture the snide tone or the lack of regional-specificity of the Russian slur. For this reason, when I translated the word, I chose to use the Spanish loan-word, “gringo“.

    Well, according to writer David Goyer and director Zach Snyder he did. If you haven’t seen the film yet I’d look away as this contains mega spoilers concerning the end of the film – if you want to read on, you can, after the jump. During a podcast session with Empire the director and writer duo told of the concern Chris Nolan had when they told him they wanted Superman to kill Zod. Goyer “Killing Zod was a big thing and Chris Nolan, originally, said there’s no way you can do this,” Goyer told the magazine. “That was a change–originally Zod got sucked into the…

    Alan and Jill visited the set of Man of Steel in August 2011 and took a few pictures. The attention to detail in the redressing of Plano, Illinois to look like Smallville, Kansas was very impressive. The audience didn’t get to see even half of the work that the production designers put into it. One of the most detailed things (that we’re showing here) was the fake listings for houses for sale in Smallville posted in the windows of Smallville Realty.  Each one of those flyers had copy written specifically for those fake houses!

    I’ve got something fun to mix things up a little: I wanted a chance to use my favorite hobby! Mixtapes are something I have been doing since I was seven years old and got my first Sony double tape deck/radio. As a result of this obsession, if you have known me longer than two minutes, then I have probably made you a mixtape at some point. I can’t help it. So, I have decided that I am going give you a mini mixtape for every 10th Vinyl Veins blog. Sometimes they may have a theme and sometimes they may just be random songs that I just really like, but I want to share my love of…

    The Super Museum Review The Man of Steel is set to release tomorrow, and again Superman is abuzz in Hollywood for the first time since Superman Returns’ release back in 2006. Now, maybe the past seven years have sent you into Super-withdrawal — experiencing pain even kryptonite couldn’t match — or maybe waiting until that midnight show on Friday is weakening you worse than living days on end under a red sun. Well, instead of curling into the fetal position and sobbing on the floor because you’ve exhausted your Action Comics collection for the last time, give this review a…
