caffeinatedTopic: Comic Books - New
By Thomas Cochrane and Alan Tanner! Along with Alan Tanner, the artist for this project, Thomas is weaving a story that has several elements that I enjoy in books and on TV. I'm not going to rehash my whole previous blog post about this project as there is not enough room in a blog format, so... To see my previous blog post about this work, please click here. This latest chapter is introducing a new major character... Louise Brooks. Here's the Synopsis of the story, in the author's own words: "Responsible for the death of millions, the mysterious 'Tegel Project' threatens the very core of civilisation. Betrayed by MI5, the Fat Man finds himself caught between the blazing guns of would-be assassins and the blood-red lips of silent movie star Louise Brooks. Unable to trust anyone and faced with a series of unpalatable choices, he careers madly along the arch of time on the seemingly impossible mission of keeping himself and his lover alive." For those that are new to an online serialized graphic novel concept... This graphic novel is presented in a format that uses the 'My eBook' reader. It is interesting that as you 'turn' the pages, you hear the sound of pages turning. I did find the page turner mechanism a little hard to use, but that is the software's fault, not of the writer/artist team. There is a 'promo movie video' for this graphic novel, as well as several 'wallpapers' for your computer's desktop at the web site should this serialized project grab your interest as it did mine! The serialized online graphic novel and the wallpapers can be viewed at: After viewing the graphic novel, and you find yourself interested in knowing more about this work, you are welcome to join The Fat Man group if you are a Facebook member at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21043026251&ref=mf For myself, I know that I will continue reading this story. Except for a few curse words, the story so far is of a PG-13 rating. I am a 'sucker' for well written time travel stories, as seen by my blog posts so far on 'Life On Mars', 'Journeyman', 'Quantum Leap', and the like. This GN 'The Fat Man' has my interest. I have joined the FaceBook Group to be reminded when the next chapter is online. Should you enjoy the story as published so far online, I would suggest doing the same! (Please Note: A complimentary hard copy for this mention / review was not provided by the creator as it is in online format only.)
