Trading Ins, Buy Outs

Trades to Buy:
Essential X-Men
Why? The Uncanny X-Men Omnibus is out, so you may want to keep it sealed or continue the story. If you go with the essentials, you can continue on with x-men history. They might, however, come out with another omnibus. Both are good investments.

Where? Amazon and Ebay are good points for essentials.

Other Essentials
Iron Man
Why? The Omnibus is out for the original iron man stories, but you may want to save money by doing more with Iron Man via essentials. These are classic stories by some outside writers for the Marvel universe.

Akira is also coming out complete again. Even if you don’t like manga, Akira trades are a must buy. You may wait until they all come out; I am not sure if they are all out yet. Tales Of Wonder is a good spot.

HardCovers to Buy:
Buy “The Killer” and “Okko” by Archia Press are good buys. Both are incredibly addicting. Killer wins on crime, Okko wins on dreamlike art and fantasy archetypes.

Powers is another good buy from crime in hardcover format. Watch out for The adaptation of Richard Stark’s “Parker” series written by Darwyn Cooke, of Batman TAS and Justice League fame.

 

Games to Watch
Kill Zone 3 and Crysis are out for Playstation. I would consider Kill Zone first. If you want role playing, Dragon Age Origins wins, but Demons Souls is the older game to go with. For combat, you may try Call of Duty on some titles. Playstation is winning with first person shooters, but they have some final fantasy offs, such as demons souls and the upcoming Children of Eden.

Books to Read
There are some interesting adaptations out. Conan is coming out again, and there is a new release. Crysis has a release of an adaptation. Iron Man: Virus is a good book to try; DC is coming out with adaptations, so Marvel is starting to follow suit.

Game of Thrones is out on HBO. It’s a dreamlike historical fantasy with northern men with big axes and pretty girls. You might try the original writings by George R.R. Martin.

What 2 Watch For:
The Thor movie is out, but I would go with Game of Thrones. I really want to see the next Spider-Man film. Smallville is done, so what do we go with for television? Heroes is secondary, and always will be. You may simply watch some of your old Smallville toons. Watch out for new animation to come out because of the comic craze. Netflix is the win here: you can check out animation and anime online and via some game players.

My final recommendation would be to save. You cannot buy everything in he book. the economysucks right now for many of us. So you might sell to buy more. Sacrifices are good. Much of what you may not like can bring in some dough on Ebay.


Tenebre

The author is always called in horror, especially in the 80s, those long nights with Stephen King, clowns, and cheap drug movies. Friday the 13th was at play and Halloween was dreaming nightmares for cheaper versions, like comics.

Dario Argento called Suspiria with witches, and he calls the author out of hell with Stephen King in Tenebre. Tenebre has the visuals — the girls and the houses — and it has the cheesy natural look of a movie no one else could make. I am reminded of Dawn of the the Dead, the original version with the mall fort.

Girls always die in these movies. Italian horror can be different, if you watch enough.

There are some money plays here as well. Of course: the agent is here. There is an interview with the new famous author. It was a drug for many of us in the 80s, where some are born.

Is he a Stephen King? He is a bestselling author. This movie is not “In the Mouth of Madness,” which you may be thinking of all ready. Tenebre is a book with necro pages.

The setup is the author and the agent. This is the easy stuff. The death call and the dogs calling out is the 2nd point. The 3rd point is the loss of life. This is the code.

Oddly, the author has all the girls.

Will he lose his heart to the horror? The horror is the woman. The horror is the dogs.

There is nothing left to give away. This is the code. Watch it in the afternoon. It’s a decent foreign film. In my analysis, Suspiria is the win against Tenebre.


Starting and Quitting: Paths to Creative Writing

When a writer starts a new project there is excitement; we are about to undertake an expedition that could take a hour, a day, or ten years. When we, the writer, quit a writing project we are opening one door and shutting another. This essay will explore the basics in creative writing: Why we start a project, why we quit, and the path to success that lies somewhere in between.

Starting and Quitting

Never quit your art.

If you want a surreal modern fantasy, look for something good, better than a story about Potter maybe, or perhaps just to the rising fantasy comic book medium. Crossgen Comics Sojourn did it well (I reviewed that series here).
With rave reviews, a good eye on quality, high end artwork, and a fascinating story not of an ancient or medieval time, but a future not so far away—North Wind is here and it made a splash.

Oddly, I began with the notion of short stories. Short stories by the hundreds! Writing short stories, selling short fiction to the biggest markets, even if they didn’t publish anything close.

Then came the idea of the novel. What writer hasn’t though of writing a novel? In my experience, the natural progression of any artist is to go big, to take the big gamble, and then to see what happens.

What kind of artist are you?

One of the most famous, perhaps best, anime films.

Mecha, assassins, ninjas, angels, telepathic forces, secret evils and more each have there place in the anime film. Are you ready to explore Japanese animation?
