The Marvel Age of Comics

Corsair's First AppearanceSometimes, I browse the internet for fun things. This time while checking out Google+ (FRP2 has a page, btw, so be sure to check it out), I came across this tumblr run by Tom Brevoort that features some art from EARLY Marvel. It was a cool find, so if you’re a fan of Marvel comics in general, do give it a visit.

Ultimate Spidey Trailer

So, I didn’t know this existed until I finally saw evidence of the show during a commercial, and I decided to see what else was out there. once I started looking, I came across this:

So what do you guys say? Is Drake Bell a suitable Spider-man?

Readers, grab a jacket!

This song has been playing in my head for the past 2 days. I decided to share it with you all, so we can suffer together. Enjoy.

Voltron Returns with Voltron Force!

Believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, but Voltron is back! This time taking place in the Lion based future where the characters are at least 5 years older than they were in the last episode of the original series. A lot has changed since then: Lotor is dead and Doom Castle has been destroyed, Voltron is celebrated on Earth, and peace is spread throughout the galaxy, But you know that’s not the end of it because soon after Voltron earns its deference among the citizens of Arus, Sky Marshall Wade concocts a plan to make the Lions act out and replace honor with fear and hatred. Now with four of the five Lions sealed on planet Arus and the Black Lion trapped in Galaxy Alliance HQ for experiments, the Voltron Force is disbanded as our heroes carry on their lives without the unique link they once shared.

Comic advice from Gail Simone

Because this is something I’m interested in given my own aspirations (see: Ultimate Trio & Necronomica), I decided to link to a tough love post by Gail Simone, who is one of the best writers in the industry. I know some of you guys have similar interests, so this MAY help you decide whether or not this is something you should be chasing after yourself as an artist or a writer.

When I am talking to people about breaking in, I am honest, but I try to be kind, and polite, and patient. I try to find positive things to say. The problem is, and I’m sure everyone who has reviewed a portfolio knows what I’m saying, that that’s not what someone who REALLY wants to break in and has the stuff to make it happen needs to hear. They need to hear the truth. So, I’m going to give some truth tonight. A lot of this, you should already know.  I am not going to talk about craft or format or anything like that. That material is out there. If you want to do this right, find it, study it, buy the books, do the research. I’m going to assume for this discussion that you have the baseline talent level required to make it in.  I’m also assuming for this discussion that you want to work at one of the larger publishers.  That may not be the case for you, but it’s what I get asked about the most. — Gail Simone

As a brief aside, I’ve come to the conclusion that I need more artist friends. Do you guys exist or what? :P

Thundercats Trailer

Well, I’m somewhat interested in this cartoon, and because of that, I’m choosing to link to this low quality youtube link that may interest you as well:

It looks OK, I suppose, but I’ll reserve my judgments until I see a full episode. And this would be the point where I linked to some T-cats skins, yes they do exist, but I’m not of the mindset to find them right now. Maybe later. :P

Green Lantern Trailer!

I’m not the biggest GL fan around, especially of Hal Jordan, but an extended trailer of the GL movie has gone online, and I think it looks pretty cool. Well, better than the last set of trailers I’ve seen. Take a look at it now before it gets pulled.

Well, golly gee, WB… I think you might just get some of my monies.

The Flaming C Returns… Again!

I’m sure you remember Conan’s Flaming C, right? Well, this time he returned in another Young Justice segment where he finally uses his powers to right a few wrongs… and to hurt a defenseless animal… that was obviously EVIL! Check the video for some entertainment, yeah?

Superman Classic (Video)

So, someone sent me this link today, and I decided to share it with you all. I’m nowhere near a major Superman fan, but this video is too awesome to pass up. If you have 2 minutes to spare, please check it out.

Darkwing Duck Annual

If I didn’t have enough reasons to check out and actually read this book, the following image added another one to the list.

Isn’t it beautiful? No, don’t speak… just observe. Take it all in… then go buy the book and let me know how it is. :P
