<a name='more'></a>Such was Alamo City Comic Con. Ghostwerks artists Samax Amen and Khalid Robertson were there promoting Bigs, from Upchuck Comics. While there, Samax drew Ghost Rider hollin' out Wu-Tang for no reason at all, and this passing couple couldn't help but snatch it up!<br />
<br />
Of course, there was also a-lot of ill cosplay at the Alamodome that day, and Khalid had the pics to prove it!<br />

That's right. An hour and a half of anime. Three little episodes, and our backs are against the wall.<br />
<br />
But, I know what you're thinking: "That's an animation. That's not fair. How can american comics keep up with that? Well then, what's this?<br />

Or have they?<br />

Yeah, that's right. If we can innovate like that in the 80's, we can innovate now. Cyclops bouncing his optic blasts off stuff, the fast ball special,<br />

Originally it was a pitch for a series, but was rejected(too bad). It stars Hanako Kichijoji who is a kung-fu master and who's hair seems to form a yin-yang symbol. Not sure if that's natural or a dye jo<span style="font-family: inherit;">b. Her boyfreind, Ichimonji, declairs to her, "Even if you become the enemy of the world, I will be your ally." And so, 2 seconds later, guess what happens!</span><br />

That's what's up. As it is, Kung-Fu Love was packaged as part of a series of shorts called "Amazing Nuts".<br />
<br />
Here's a higher res video of "Kung-Fu Love", but, warning: it has no English subtitles. <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/_b8MFnnQyV0" width="560"></iframe>corancehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12078328780070057025noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6744973232701214643.post-35100653279917745672013-09-25T10:00:00.000-07:002013-09-25T10:00:05.607-07:00Hip Hop Origins: Homeboy SandmanSo, this is old, but it's awesome.<br />

One of the things independent comics does best is take unknown characters, in well-worn tropes and knock them out of the park. Thus, I'm quite excited to see what Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting show us in "Velvet".<br />
<br />
Here's a preview.<br />

Heh. That's what's up!<br />

I'm, overall, very disappointed in DC's New 52.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/51ce6099e4b0d911b4489b79/51ce6199e4b0d911b4499a44/1325352556997/1000w/New52.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="168" src="https://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/51ce6099e4b0d911b4489b79/51ce6199e4b0d911b4499a44/1325352556997/1000w/New52.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The new perma-flexed 52.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I thought it was a chance to turn it all around; break new ground, freshen up stale characters and situations, maybe even try new publishing models. But, all they did was turn into Marvel in the 90's.<br />
<br />
I have to admit, there are bright spots: Batman (which was ruined when the Court of Owls story-line was turned into a mega-crossover), Batman & Robin, Action Comics, and a few others.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110709204002/marvel_dc/images/3/3d/Animal_Man_0006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110709204002/marvel_dc/images/3/3d/Animal_Man_0006.jpg" width="213" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This guy was pretty good, too. For a while, at least.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
But, mostly, it was just a "Dear John" letter DC wrote directly to me.<br />
<br />
From the confusing Bat-continuity to the "Static" fiasco. It seems like their editorial choices caused more problems than they solved. And, of course, Marvel ain't perfect. They suffer from the same symptoms, but the New 52 is particularly emblematic of problems with the comics industry in the last few years.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://heroicbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/new52robins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="283" src="http://heroicbiz.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/new52robins.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Really? In 5 years? Really?</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Can they clean it up? Is it worth their time to do so? Does it even matter to a new generation of readers?<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is me. That laser is the New 52. The severed arm is...uh...well, you know what I'm gettin' at!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I'll give it some thought. Mean time, click Sad Superman to read the article by Andrew Wheeler that got me a thinkin' in the first place.<br />

I received my Kickstarter edition of<a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cheshirecatart/dragon-slayer" target="_blank"> Dragon Slayer</a> a few weeks ago and have read it, digested it, and it has nourished me.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><img height="320" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/446771/posts/425719/image-222590-full.jpg?1363047361" width="233" /><br />
<br />
I have to admit, I was skeptical. It's easy to affirm <a href="http://www.cheshirecatart.com/index.html" target="_blank">Devin Kraft's</a> bona fides as a good artist. But, I'm usually skeptical of artists, especially good ones, who profess to be writers, too (A stereotype I picked up from the 90's era.) I guess it's time to put that stereotype to rest. Dragon Slayer is has the potential to be one of the better written comics from this year.<br />
<br />
Of course, that's based on just the first issue. But, it's a promising first issue.<br />
<img height="409" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/446771/posts/442330/image-233659-full.jpg?1364793988" width="640" /><br />
The art is on point, which one can put together from a glance. At times he mixes in a more symbolic approach, such as the tears of the dragon, or (name)'s body when he shoots the dragon's tears, that reminds me of graffiti or hieroglyphics. This allows the story to play with the mind's eye that simultaneously elevates and grounds "Dragon Slayer's" fantasy world.<br />
<img alt="Image-220072-full" height="400" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/446771/posts/419606/image-220072-full.jpg?1362533396" width="296" /><br />
Kraft included some early sketches of Diel in the back of the comic showing early versions of the character. I'm glad he went with the design he did. It allows him to walk that line between savage and civilized. He's at home in the wild, among the beasts, but not alienated from man and his ways. I know this about Diel because his behavior throughout the story betrays as much.<br />
<br />
This comic takes well advantage of the fact that the writing and art come from the same brain. The characters act off one another tangibly, and the backgrounds and foregrounds in the panels support each other. I've rarely seen such a successful scene as the one where King Aldebrand backs down a vengeful soldier armed with nothing but gravitas and patriotism. Frankly, I was a little shocked. Well done.<br />
<img height="400" src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/assets/000/452/752/338e82cb8e992e540e975bc1fd14edb9_large.jpg?1363622815" width="258" /><br />
A the end of the book, we get a glimpse of some of the horrifying magic that exists in "Dragon Slayer's" world. The timing of this encounter made it a pleasant surprise.<br />
<br />
It occurs to me, there's a mystery inside the head of Diel. Aldebrand, the dragon and Diel are all after revenge. Aldebrand and the dragon want revenge on each other, but Diel hasn't made it clear to the reader which one he's hunting: the dragon, or the king.<br />

So, here's some heat from De La Soul and ya BoySand.<br />

I first heard this joint from DeLa on a previous episode of <a href="http://conspiracyworldwide.podomatic.com/entry/2013-05-04T08_04_13-07_00" target="_blank">Conspiracy Worldwide</a>. Featuring the spirit of Wu-Tang, they flip this sample as only DeLa could flip it.<br />
<br />

<a name='more'></a><b>I enjoyed it a-lot, and here's my main take away from it:<span style="font-size: large;"> </span>I hope they move on. </b><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>We've gotten the reboot out of our system, we've gotten Khan out of our system, and they've officially started their 5 year mission. Like Scotty said, they're explorers, not military; time to go explore. </b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>And I'm not against things from the original showing up, but I'm way more interested in seeing the new species and races; new planets, new artifacts, new entities, new phenomena. You know, going where no one has gone before. </b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>I want to see the new Kirk deal with warring races, neither of which are in the Federation. I want to see new Spock deal with the fact that he could wander the universe and never run into another Vulcan, unless he actively searches for one. I want to see members of the Enterprise crew represent who we don't already know. I want to see Kirk, Spock, Mccoy, and Scotty in four-way brawls to save each other's lives.</b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
