Prose Vs. Comics

On Nov 18, 2009 11:29 AM

I started this NaNoWriMo lark this November after a couple of years dithering, and so far, so good. I've done it because I've always fancied myself as a writer, but since college I haven't written much more than a postcard and a couple of longish e-mails.

I too loved the Blue Whale Green Lantern on Animal Man. Plus it's Bolland, so what's not to love.

Best of the Week in... Covers (06/17/09)

On Jun 18, 2009 11:17 AM

I have been loving the design of The Outsiders covers for the last 4 months; simple, clean graphic design highlighting the members of the team. This months cover with Owlman ascending with cape unfurled and Alfred, posed in thought was symmetrical and beautiful. Spoilt only by the massively outsized logo and Batman Reborn branding.

Writing Comics: Scripting Programs

On May 19, 2009 8:47 AM

The comic template takes a bit of getting used to, but it looks great when you've finished a page.  I've only written a small amount of pages so far, but I can see that the way it organises a...

On Dec 29, 2008 5:10 PM

Big week for me: 9 books, plus the stuff that shipped Christmas Eve (Damn you, transatlantic postage!) - 14 books in total! Looking forward to Green Lantern, Greatest Hits, Flash (but only to see it put out of it's misery), and Northlanders. Intrigued by the Teen Titans recruitment drive issue as well.   BQ: Sort out the finances, stop recording crap off TV onto the hard drive, get fi...

" And if anyone out there really love the JSA series, I also have to recommend the JSA Presents Stars and S.T.I.P.E books."   ...in which teenaged Courtney Whitmore fights evil, side-by-side with the armour clad lead singer of REM <heh heh>
