    Plenty of new geek shows to wrap your mind around, but in my opinion, not all of them are worth the trouble.  Here are a few: The Fades, on BBC, actually got off to a good start.  Slightly different take on the horror aspect and actually went with ghosts who eat people and become zombish.  Giving it a chance Lost Girl, on Syfy - I've only seen the first episode.  The ads for the other shows have turned me off.  I will probably force myself through another episode or two.  DVR a few more trys.

    The top comics-related news stories from January 21 to January 27, 2012: 1. The Festival International de la Bande Dessinée d'Angouleme, Europe's largest comics festival, gets underway in France. Art Spiegelman is serving as this year's festival president, and has offered the crowds maybe the finest president's exhibition in the history of the show. The crowds for the first two days are apparently noticeably down. 2. A couple of days worth of media-protection protests in Colombo, Sri Lanka, mark the second anniversary of the disappearance of journalist and cartoonist Prageeth Ekneligoda,…

Much sadness.  :( However, I did pick up a couple of other things - one of them being a Steampunk walking stick.  Here is a pick of it.  I've seen some other real cool ones, but this one fits my characters.

    I know.  I know. I've been away for a while, but last year was a really tough year.  Consulting, family loss, and then some personal bumps here and there.  If you were to say all of this to me, I would simply define them as "excuses."  But writing for a blog on a regular basis can get a tad tough.  I was originally trying to do a blog a day.  I think that I am going to focus on a minimum of a blog a week. With my new job and a far more work/live balance, you can expect to see me contributing again.  I do need to update the sidebar too. Hello!

  • Resident Evil Revelations price update: now $39.99!

    Late last year we announced the console-sized adventure that is Resident Evil Revelations would arrive on a 4GB card instead of the standard 2GB card; this increase in memory size led to an increase in price as well, raising the retail cost to $49.99. And while we're confident in the game's value at that price (and the reviews reflect that sentiment as well), we're also exceedingly pleased to say that after weeks of effort, we've been able to lower the price to $39.99. Since the announcement of the $49.99 price point, we've spent weeks looking for a way to bring your cost down to standard 3DS…

    Artist and Unity member Arttronikhas pointed me to an absolutely fascinatingessay he wrote for his blog. The essay takes an incredibly deep look at the origins and inspirations for the concept and design of Street Fighter's Ryu. Namely, he draws numerous convincing comparisons to appearance and fighting style of legendary karate master Masatsu Oyama, who used to train by fighting live bulls, and his disciples. He even delves into Oyama's influence on other characters, and praises the original SFcharacter designers for their masterful implementation of "intricate simplicity," notably pointing…

I’m probably not supposed to talk about the game yet but I figured it would be much easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission as the old saying goes. I’m not incredibly far in the game and I don’t want to spoil anything but I do want to give my impressions. Yesterday on Twitter I said I thought it was better than Skyrim and I

    Tycho: There are many games where box breaking is core to the experience, a cultural practice, a folkway, and this happens in Kingdoms of Amalur as well.  Games are developing more robust approaches to assessing your moral coordinate with precision, but they’re still several long miles from basic etiquette.

I was listening to an especially lame chapter when the narrator started talking about ancient Sith lords and their lost techniques. One such lord was a sort of ancient necromancer and his name was Darth Andeddu. I don’t care what stupid space way you

    Capstone, the children’s book publishers behind the line of DC Super-Pets kids titles, has announced another licensing deal with the comic company. Beginning in Fall 2012, they’re going to republish DC comics as “reinforced library hard covers and paper-over-board editions … The license includes worldwide English and select Spanish editions for limited markets.” 24 titles, not yet specified, will be included, although since the press release talks about how popular Batman and Superman are, I’m guessing they’ll be part of the list.

His story, involving floppy discs (!) sent through the mail (!), includes these comments: …all was not well at my house. My entire evenings were spent on X-Copy and checking lists. I felt like I was coming home from school to do an 8 hour shift…. That experience taught me a great deal. Mainly that there is no fun in it. I was only one person, and sure I had every game imaginable, but… I could only play one at a time and I needed the time to play it and copying all…

    On February 17, Disney will release the newest Studio Ghibli movie: The Secret World of Arrietty. Here’s the trailer: As pointed out, this is based on the classic series of novels that began with The Borrowers by Mary Norton, about a family of little people who live in the walls of houses and live off items “borrowed” from the Big People. It’s a wonderful choice for a cartoon, since animation allows the various-sized characters to interact realistically without a layer of special effects. Arrietty is voiced by Bridgit Mendler, while her parents are played by real-life…

He introduced a third faction in what was usually a two-sided war and he was the first really creepy mad scientist (check out The Web, linked below). Above all, he was just a super fun villain.

    I’m joined by Dave Roman for one more holiday special walkthrough for 2011, and we’re pointing our lasers at one that often gets overlooked by fans of the Rankin/Bass specials. The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, originally a book by L. Frank Baum, was the last of the Rankin/Bass “animagic” stop-motion features released in 1985 and featured what some might consider a bizarre combination of high fantasy with the sweet song-and-dance numbers one expects from the studio’s specials. But Dave and I both love this special and I think it shows as we proceed through…

So now you don’t have to. It may also interest you to know that the movie was directed by Leonard Nimoy! I can’t be certain, but I think he might play the doorman outside of the Three Mens’ apartment building. Either that or he did voice-over for that bit. So there you have it.

Not just sitting around playing video games, but an ultimate competition in the vein of Battle Royale/The Running Man/The Hunger Games that would push the gamers to their limits. The more I thought about it, the more excited I got about writing it. However I started to realize that if I tried to do it in comic-strip form, we'd still be in the middle of it come March. The Scott/Ted storyline last year…

    Happy Winter-een-mas, everyone! I'm still working hard to get today's Winter-een-mas update ready to post, so unfortunately I'm going to be a little bit late to the WEMas Leaguefest this afternoon. You guys can go ahead and get started without me though, and I'll join you as soon as I possibly can! All you have to do is select "create or join a chat room", and enter CADLeaguefest. There will be plenty of people there throughout the night for you to start games with, and I promise as soon as I get today's update posted I'll hop in there for some games as well!

Let me get these taxes sorted out and maybe after we get back from the Bahamas I'll have some idea. Also I'm going to the BAHAMAS in a couple weeks. First vacation in... seven years? Swim-up bar?

    Amtrak Wine At the exact moment the visibly irritated conductor left the cafe car, Doc Hastings sprung into action. It all happened so fast I couldn't tell see what exactly happened but there was a mighty shout and the car went dark. There was a thud, and a muffled shriek. When the lights came back on, I noticed the rooftop emergency exit hatch slam shut, Doc was back at his seat, and when the conductor returned she breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled discreetly at Doc, who clumsily tried to take a swig of Amtrak Wine through his mask. The perv was mysteriously no longer on board. This all…

    27 Jan 2012 | 2:30 pm
    Batman gets some awesome new credits. "The Goon" may or may not be in a little bit of a pickle. And even if you're pining for the days of Tobey Maguire and fearful of the incoming Andrew Garfield era, never fear — Stan Lee is here to cool your jets. Strap on your Tights and get all of today's comic book mini-news beyond the break! "Dark Knight" Gives Credit Where It's Due Knowing how Christopher Nolan's previous Batman movies have played out, chances are slim that "The Dark Knight Rises" will feature any kind of elaborate opening credit sequence.

    You know what I would really love to see right now? A big ol' new "Avengers" trailer; just filled to the brim with interesting little details and possible hints to the film's plot. I say that not only as a fan, just as excited as anyone to see the movie in May, but also as a writer. So far, almost everything divulged about the film has come from stills, brief interviews, and the occasional rumor – give me something juicy to write about! Well, it looks like today's no exception to that rule. Marvel has released some official photos, and try as I might, flipping through them really fast…

  • From 'Grey' To Gotham: Liam Neeson On Christopher Nolan's Batman

    Now that 2012 is finally upon us, it's time to face the harsh reality that after this year, there will be no further Christopher Nolan Batman movies to look forward to. It's a day we hoped would never come, and while it's still some months away, those months are going to fade all too fast. As "The Dark Knight Rises" approaches, we're making a point of talking to as many people involved in Nolan's revival of the Batman franchise as possible — and with "The Grey" hitting theaters today, MTV News had the chance to chat with "Batman Begins" villain Liam Neeson about the impact Nolan's had on…

  • Neal McDonough Says 'Captain America 2' Shooting This Year, Hopes For 'Nick Fury'

    Jeremy Gordon
    27 Jan 2012 | 12:06 pm
    As Dum Dum Dugan, Neal McDonough had a minor but important role in "Captain America: The First Avenger." All he really had to do was stand around cracking wise and looking tough, a part he played to its fullest. "Captain America" ended with Steve Rogers waking up in the present day, so most moviegoers probably figured we wouldn't see Dugan again, as he was previously seen in 1945. But this being the Marvel Universe, it would appear that Dugan may have gotten himself jacked up on all sorts of anti-aging nanomachines that allowed him to survive to see the likes of Justin Bieber and Taco Bell.

    27 Jan 2012 | 10:21 am
    With only a little over two weeks left until "The Walking Dead" returns from its midseason hiatus, AMC has released a teaser in anticipation of the show's big return. Our first observation? The gang is finally leaving Hershel's farm. Finally. Based on all the gun shots and new set pieces in the 30-second teaser, it seems as though Rick, Shane, Lori and the rest of the survivors will finally come to terms with the fact that the farm was not the salvation they'd hoped it would be. Their struggle to keep hope alive seems like it will be at the center of the rest of season two, though Rick seems…

And, as you can see, we've got another pencils-only post. I'm afraid this will likely continue for a few more updates. I'll post the inked and toned strips as I can get through them and hopefully get caught up soon.

The good news is, my graduate school portfolio and application are now turned in, and I only have Multiplex and way too much freelance work to concentrate on now. Cross your fingers for me, I guess? Once again, we have Matt in the hand-drawn panels (3 & 4, anyway). Still just a background character… See you Thursday! UPDATE (1/18): Well, I was supposed to be blacked…

We're continuing immediately from the last time we saw them shooting (Multiplex #652). The not-really-smiling zombie in the first panel is one the Multiplex: the Movie Sponsors, Matt Matonich.

    Lynn's Notes: It was my brother who played Atari until his legs fell asleep. The TV was on a stand, too far from the couch to allow for serious and intense interaction, so players sat on the floor in reverent communion with the screen. After a marathon of gaming, Alan couldn't walk and Aaron had forgotten to go to the bathroom. Both staggered up the stairs in search of relief and I took advantage. Another strip was in the bag!

    Lynn's Notes: Looking out the front room window requires a face print. There's no way around it. Combine a check on the neighborhood with a greasy facial negative and you have accomplished two things at once. Forcing one's nose and lips onto a glass surface is a satisfying form of artistic expression which I'd continue to do today if I didn't personally have to clean it off.

This is one of those timeless scenarios which parents are so used to, that the only intervention considered is on behalf of the TOYS!

    Scott
    10 Jan 2012 | 7:49 pm
    Well, it has been almost a year since we had our last update on the comic for The Lost Room and we know you Collectors are anxious for some news. Since starting work on the scripts, Christopher Leone, Laura Harkcom, and Paul Workman have been pulled away from the comic due to other things taking justifiably higher priority, both profesionally and personally. So progress on the scripts has slowed. The script for Issue #1 is completed and the rest of the series is plotted out, but work on the remaining scripts has been slow. But it hasn’t stopped! Christopher, Laura, Paul are working on…

  • Bidding Adios to “Chuck”

    Peter David
    27 Jan 2012 | 2:01 pm
    On the one hand, I’m incredibly depressed that tonight is the finale of “Chuck.” On the other hand, I feel as if I should be grateful that we had the show for as long as we did. And the great thing about that is that it happened because fans took one of the favorite tactics of boycotters and censors, turned it around, and accomplished something positive with it. “Chuck” was always a demented, schizo series. In any single episode, the story could ricochet from broadly played comedy to high-stakes espionage. That didn’t always sit well with a lot of viewers.

    Krishna
    26 Jan 2012 | 8:02 am
    This week we’ll look at heads. Heads come in all shapes and sizes, it’s up to us to find a method to break the shape down into a basic form. Start with a primitive volumetric form, like a sphere, oval, or even a flour sack. Remember that the head is not flat – it has volume! Once you have drawn the volumetric form, the next task is to establish the character’s eye line. In the top row below, you’ll see that event though the head shape and features are all the same, by establishing the eye line (horizontal axis) at different levels, we can get characters that look…

Let’s dive in, shall we? 1. Her mad scientist character is a blend of sharp and smooth lines – my suggestion – use sharper angles for the arms if you’re playing up his ‘evilness’, or just go with rounded shapes / forms if he’s the nonthreatening, bumbling type.

    Above are my visual notes for Barry’s third assignment, focusing on body proportions. I think Barry did a solid job making the silhouettes for the characters read, by incorporating props to make the characters identifiable. In my notes, I have included some suggestions on exaggerating body proportions. To convey intelligent characters, try lowering the horizontal axis line on the head, allowing more room for the “brain bucket”. To convey unintelligent characters, move that horizontal axis line closer to the top of the character’s head. With slender or tall characters,…

That slowed me down right out of the gate, because Jason was on my short list. "Who counts as our generation?" asked my husband Andrew. "Is Jeff Smith part of our generation?" Jason thought about it. "A lot of cartoonists from our generation were influenced by Jeff Smith, so I'd say no, he's part of the previous generation. But the Flight artists are part of our generation." Many of the Flight artists, I realized later, are younger than that. They were influenced by my…

    18 Jan 2012 | 7:00 pm
    It's strange there doesn't seem to be a contemporary body of discourse surrounding National Lampoon Presents The Very Large Book of Comical Funnies, since it essentially maps out 21st century comics criticism and revivalism. Published in 1975 (several decades after Colton Waugh's The Comics and a decade after Roy Lichtenstein's pop art, but predating The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics), perhaps its most arresting and prescient image is its photographic cover; a sexy woman in juvenile pigtails, bum only half-covered by her cutoffs, looking at a gallery wall, arms akimbo, one wedge…

  • Comic Review: Justice League Dark #5, “In the Dark, Part Finale: There was a Crooked Man”.

    Bretzke
    28 Jan 2012 | 3:18 am
    Justice League Dark #5 The last four issues of this book have been a wash and only in this book, in the last few pages does it all come together.  You could view that as a piece of fictional muscle-flexing, an act only capable by the most agile of authors.  Certainly that’s great in a piece of fiction, say a book, where you can read it from start to finish without interruption.  But in a periodical, be it graphical or text based, such ambiguity within the prose does not lend itself to longevity.  When the ax fell on the first of the ‘New 52′, I had thought Jusice League…

    Morning Glories #15 I realize this is perhaps a bit late in the review cycle, but the count would be in hours as to the amount of time we spend talking about this title in my local comic book store.  Issue 15 came out last week and it delivers everything we’ve come to expect from this quality book, all at the $2.99 price point.  Several times through my reading of this book I looked at the pages left to go, wondering when the alternate ‘preview’ feature would kick in, surely I couldn’t get all that story for such a small price.  But yes, I did.  20 minutes worth.

    Uncanny X-Men #5 Uncanny X-Men of late has been, well, crap.  It came out the poorer cousin in the Schism debarkle and for the most part has the less interesting characters.  But this issue, less so.  It’s more about the story but the frustration is, most of this story happened in another book! Uncanny X-Force just finished it’s arc where Apocalypse came back in Archangel and there had to be a somewhat permanent intervention involving death, and subsequent rebirth.  This is Marvel after all – nobody dies forever.  Archangel’s experimentation with the Life Seed…

    Amazing Spider-Man #678 So Spider-Man has it all together.  A decent job in a wonderful city, life is so good he decides it’s best to walk to work.  See, there’s a fatal flaw in his thinking; whenever things are going well for Peter Parker, it’s a great time to get out of New York, because the place is about to end up destroyed. At the corporation he works for, Peter is asked to review one of his peers work, to make sure it’s not a complete waste of time.  His colleague has made (Shock!) a doorway!  The doorway to Tomorrow!  In all literal senses, it transports…

    Hellblazer #287 The paranormal fiction category within bookstores has bloated out into an untameable beast, fueled by teenage desire to become vampire bait for pasty skinned broody teens with a desire to beat up furries.  There was a time where paranormal fiction didn’t have a name of it’s own, it existed as a subset of fantasy called dark fantasy.  That’s when the stories were good, it’s from that era that sprang Hellblazer. Constantine has himself a problem.  His niece has shacked up with the nastiest piece of work she can; the father of Constantine’s…

    The Congress party messed it up completely - not having the numbers, not managing allies and avoiding a vote hiding behind technicalities. But let’s go back to the start. This was an exercise in fixing responsibility for preventing the passage of Lokpal bill. The first round was in the Lok Sabha, played out in two parts - the voting on Lokpal bill and the constitutional amendment. The Bill went through, but the constitutional amendment didn't. Without going into the "strong Bill"/"weak Bill" argument, the Govt came closest to delivering on promises made outside parliament. Opposition…

    Let’s get a few things out of the way first. This is not a tech review but a user’s observations after 10 days of regular use, so I wouldn’t call this “objective” (but then, neither are most tech reviews). I also switched from Blackberry Bold 9700 (keyboard lover) and that bias might creep in, plus the phone is not a review unit - I bought this phone and will be very pissed if my money has not been well-spent. It is not a comparison with iOS or Android (I have used both for a few days) as unavoidable as it may seem. My usage scenario is another factor – Internet usage is not heavy…

    Demons barge their way past anyone waiting on the body donation list, including science. So uncouth. A REQUEST FROM DANTE: So hopefully many of you are registered as organ donors, and hopefully you have given/have been able to give blood, too. But there is a good chance that you are not registered to be bone marrow donors - which, fortunately, you can change today. Bone marrow donors are always needed in response to blood diseases like leukemia. Unfortunately, it's not a simple case of matching blood types, but needing to find a much more exact match between donor and recipient - which is an…

    admin
    25 Jan 2012 | 8:08 am
    While “carpe diem” is normally translated as “sieze the day”, this is actually not an accurate translation. “Carpe” is better translated as “to pick, pluck, pluck off, cull, crop, gather”, so it would be a better (though less catchy) definition to say “Pluck the day”. Of all the possible days you could pick for the day you might have, try to choose the best one you can. Or, in this case, do your best being careful with picking your gadgets.

    Just letting you know that I have a new short story on the site for your reading pleasure.  It’s called “The Lost Eye of Odin.”  I also put back some of my older short stories.  Not sure why I took them down.  Anyway, you can view them (and any future stories I post) on the “Extras” page.  Bookmark it now if you want to. Back to the new story.  It is the first in what I hope to be a series of short stories revolving around the character “Marcus English” whom I’ve dubbed an “occult detective.”  This is the second version of the…

It began some years ago, on October 13th.  Or was it the 31st?  Yeah, better make it the 31st, stories like this are always better on Halloween.  I was at home, hunkered down to avoid the stormy weather outside.  There was a considerable mess in my living room that I was reluctantly cleaning up.  Most people said I was stupid for keeping an Alaskan Malamute in a small Brooklyn apartment.  But I loved the thing and he seemed happy.  I just wished I owned fewer valuables. I was hunched over on all fours, gathering up the…

  • Something more about Star Wars

    Adam Casalino
    24 Jan 2012 | 7:38 am
    It occurred to me the other day that my least favorite piece of music from Star Wars, the Cantina Band song, actually had more depth than I realized.  Apparently (and this is my guess) it is meant to sound like a futuristic ragtime song, much like you’d hear in a bar in the Old West.  This make’s sense, when you realize the Cantina scene was supposed to be a throw back to that sort of stuff. And here are some guys playing it like they’re in a saloon. Now this may seem like common knowledge to the rest of you geniuses, but I guess it was always lost on me.

    Dwarven hunting is a generally unsuccessful affair, usually resulting in large messes. Dwarven farming is even worse. So how do you think Peter’s is going to get out of this one? Can he do anything without the help of Algerbane? What can one little dwarf do when pitted against an army of the living dead?

In a nutshell, it’s a blueprint for your enterprise – the what, why, where, when, and how. As I’ve been learning from others in the field, the creative spirit of the fine and/or commercial…

    I remember going to Orbital Comics in London when it first opened ten years ago. I was working in Soho for the ad agency Radioville, and this new comic shop had opened on Old Compton Street, and was suddenly my closest comic shop. And fickle customer that I am, that meant I stopped going to either Forbidden Planet, Comics Showcase or Gosh Comics.

Anyway, the Polish Government’s vote to sign the controversial copyright legistaltion Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, amid wide protests, caused a number of Polish politicians to take to the benches in V For Vendetta Guy Fawkes masks. Not they’re not even the the offiical Warner Bros masks, they’re photocopied knock offs. I do hope that was deliberate.

    Coming from Europacorp, Lockout is being referred to widely as Luc Besson‘s new film, and I guess it is, as he’s a producer and co-writer on the pic. But Besson isn’t the director – this is in fact the feature debut of Stephen Saint Leger and James Mather, or as they are credited, Saint and Mather. Another common comment on this trailer is how much it looks like Escape From New York. I see signs of Fortress too – and countless others, to lesser extent. I’ve got a feeling this will be the next Taken-style break-out hit (no pun intended). Before we know it,…
