So I met Stan Lee, Todd McFarlane, and Jon Goff at New York Comic Con today. Which was pretty awesome. =3 Also I got issues #0-2 of Blood Red Dragon for attending the signing (and got issue 0 signed by Stan, Todd and Jon), and decided to go ahead and give it another chance since I had it now. And despite some of my previous rants in here about it, ( Read more... )

And now I can say I've "read" Blood Red Dragon issue 0 thanks to this video on Youtube. XD Some kind person decided to read the comic and hold the pages up while filming it so I didn't have to bother actually getting a copy. =P Also her snarky commentary while reading made the painfully cheesy writing bearable. XD ( Read more... )

As an aspiring comic artist and X Japan fan, I feel obligated to post my thoughts on Yoshiki's comic project, "Blood Red Dragon". He's collaborating with Stan Lee and Todd McFarlane on it. Sounds incredibly promising, right ( Read more... )

This sums up my life pretty accurately. XD"

So yesterday I found out that Nick Simmons is blatantly plagiarizing the Bleach manga. Yes, as in Gene Simmons' son. I really hope his fame doesn't cloud the issue at hand, which is that the guy practically TRACED several panels of Bleach and even nearly copied the dialogue in places. Hell, he even traced someone's Bleach FANART in one panel. With ( Read more... )

I've been on quite the art kick today. I did the line art and flat colors and started shading for my fourth thesis piece (yes I'm on my fourth one now, and they're all turning out awesome so far~! =D Amazing what a difference new teachers can make). I also started working on a Yu Yu Hakusho art meme (YYH = one of my fave anime/manga of all time), ( Read more... )

'kay, so the flight over here went pretty smoothly (though it felt like it took a while XD"), but then I decided to try saving money and time by taking the train back from the Newark airport instead of getting a cab. Well, I did save money, but not time. D= At first I thought I would since I saw the traffic coming out of the airport while on the ( Read more... )

If there wasn't already enough proof that Stephanie Meyer is an arrogant egomaniacal bitch, then this is it. D ( Read more... )

So I found this in a link in apiphile's LJ. It's one of those "Should I be laughing or crying?" things, because as laughably bad as the art is and as hysterical as the written commentary is, this guy (Rob Liefeld) is apparently still getting commissioned to do work for both Marvel and DC, and has made millions of dollars despite the fact that it looks like ( Read more... )

Okay, this is just ridiculous.

All these people are bitching about this new Barbie, now nicknamed the "S&M" Barbie. It's modeled after the DC comics superheroine Black Canary.

Okay, like I just said, it's based on a comic book superheroine, and as is mentioned near the end of the video, is part of a collection that also includes Batgirl, Wonder ( Read more... )
