Had been so busy with college work etc that I’ve had no time for the interwebz. Between that and my computer breaking it’s been extremely hard getting some online time.

What’s been going on with me? Well since I reckon I’m going to take a year out of college (Cause I hate it!) So I’ll have loads more time for writing etc.  My mate’s in the middle of trying to buy over a pub a couple of hours outside Glasgow and is wanting me to come up help run it. The business comes with a three bedroom flat above it. So I wouldn’t be paying for accomodation or anything. Not to mention the money I’d save on food and alcohol! I reckon if I do it I’ll get tons more writing done because it’s so out the way and free from distraction compared to where I live just now (Glasgow).

Speaking of getting writing done. I’ve finished up my two issue Dynagirl story for www.redhandedstudios.com new ongoing series that should be debuting soon. I’ve been chipping away at it for a while, and finally got it sent over to Cary at red handed studios at the start of January. Only to realise this week that it hadn’t in fact

actually sent. Which sucks because I can’t get on to my emails right now from my ipod, to resend it.

It’s all good though, cause it gives me a chance to go over it again with fresh eyes. See if there’s anything I can tighten up.

Cary’s recently launched the new Dynagirl Website as well, it’s still early stages of development but it’s going to be awesome.

If you want to read up more about it then you can visit Cary’s personal blog which sort of goes into more detail.

Dynagirl is a spin off series from Cary’s original 7 issue Fallen Justice series which is coming to a close. I’m sad to see Fallen Justice come to an end, however my excitement for the Dynagirl spin off more than dwarfs my anguish over Fallen Justice.

John Crichton is used to being far from home. But now he’s trapped in a new timeline, where his wife Aeryn is still a Peacekeeper! He sets Moya out on a mission to find her in hopes that the reunion of sorts will set things right. But what does Crichton’s wife in this timeline think of this? More FARSCAPE goodness from the show’s creator Rockne S. O’Bannon.

Reviewer Comments:
Back to good Farscape. Thank god.

I was less than impressed with one of the other Farscape titles that are being put out just now. However I’m pleased to see that this particular series is still on the right track. Rockne S. O’Bannon, Keith DeCandido’ writing is as good as it was in the first. Steady pacing, nice dialogue, good story and just an overall joy to read.

Tommy Patterson’s artwork is just such a breath of fresh air compared to the artwork on the other series. Dynamic shots, good visual storytelling, great character interaction and interesting backgrounds and sets.

Zac Atkinson and Marc Letzmann’s colors on this, in my opinion, are what let the book down. Even though they don’t necessarily ruin the book, I just didn’t enjoy them. They were just really boring for me. They were understated, but not in a good way. I didn’t hate them, they just didn’t wow me.

Overall I really like this series so far and am kind of excited to see where it goes.

He’s faced them all, but Ashley J. Williams is about to face the greatest horror of his entire deadite-kickin’ career – a comic book convention! But this ain’t any ol’ comic book convention, this one features a special appearance from the president of the United States of America – Barack Obama! How do things go from there when Ash and Obama are in the same place at the same time? And did we happen to mention that the Necronomicon is there doing the thing it does best – turning ordinary humans into the demon possessed undead!
This special Army of Darkness mini-series event is written by Elliott (Army of Darkness/Xena) Serrano, illustrated by Ariel Padilla and features covers by Todd (Amazing Spider-Man) Nauck and TBD!

Reviewer Comments:
Despite the tediousness with all of this Obama nonsense in comic books, this was actually a decent read.

This first issue was really nothing special. It sort of dragged on a little bit. However there were some fun aspects to Elliot Serrano’s writing. It all went pretty slow until the end, where everything just seemed to happen at once, leaving us with a bit of a cliff hanger. The book lacked action, but it wasn’t really missed if I tell you the truth. I have a feeling that there’ll be plenty of action in the next issue. I was left wanting to read on to the next issue, if nothing else but just to see where this is going.

Ariel Padilla’s artwork is pretty good, technically speaking, although nothing special, if I’m honest. It was maybe even slightly boring. However that could be due to the lack of action within the book. Not the artist’s fault.

The colors were done by Rael Sidharta (the colourist for the army of darkness series). He did a decent job on this. Yet again, I wasn’t really impressed by it.

Over all I would say that this wasn’t as bad as I’d though it would be. However it wasn’t amazing by any stretch of the imagination. I wouldn’t pay for this book. But I would gladly read it for free. If you know what I mean!
