Code Name: Zeus !
Mood:

d'oh
Topic: Comic Books - New

"Code Name: Zeus"

Now With A Downloadable Preview To Read!

Daniel Vest, (as seen at left), has a Facebook Group... that is dedicated to the new and highly anticipated comic book series ~ Code Name: Zeus... I joined it a while back, and thanks to group officers like J.C. Tregarthen, I have been kept notified as to what is happening there!

This is the premise of the project:

"There came a time when the power of the gods returned to the stars. Upon Mount Olympus, the goddess Hera uttered a curse so horrible, it eradicated the pantheons of the universe. Facing life without the supernatural, humans dedicated themselves to advancing technology and subduing the planet.

It is the future. Something has unleashed the powers of myth back upon the earth, manifesting in humans, both brave and cunning. Like the heroes and villains of the past, they begin to clash for control of the universe.

In 2037, the world governments have become mega-corporations. Olympus Corp. Led by President Alexander Neoptolemus, oversees the day-to-day affairs of the populace - protecting it from threats, both without and within. President Neoptolemus looks to merge all corporations under one ruling body called New Olympus.

By searching for genetic signs, the scientists of Olympus Corp.have found the first people who possess the powers of the gods. President Neoptolemus has begun to train and equip this group of young heroes to act as a security force for New Olympus. Leading the group is self-absorbed Sam Williams - a young man who manifests the King of the Greek gods.

Taking the code-name Zeus, Sam must master his own past to lead his team of deified avatars to uncover the mystery that threatens New Olympus and the very fabric of the universe."

Now here is the cool part... You can see a Free Preview by downloading it from this web site:

(Note: eBay doesn't allow 'hot links' in the eBay blog posts to non-eBay pages, so if you are reading this on our Blog's eBay format version, just copy and paste the url into your browser and add the www. if necessary.)

While Daniel is the creator of Code Name: Zeus, there are many others that have joined him in this endeavor! They include Tony 'Melmoth' Bradt - co artist, Jeremy Mace and Steve D'Arcangelo -co writers with Daniel, and more. Daniel is also the founder of Graykin Entertainment. You can expect this to be out In the Summer of 2009!

For those of you that are on Facebook, you can join the Facebook group 'Code Name: Zeus' at:

I will be probably blogging about this project in the time to come. As a matter of fact, Daniel Vest, on behalf of Graykin Entertainmen,t will be at the CUT! Film Festival. March 13-15 2009. He will speaking on the project Code Name: Zeus.

If Tina and I are able to attend this Film Festival, we'll blog about it and Daniel's presentation. CUT! 2009 Film Festival will be held in Santa Monica, California on March 14 and 15, 2009.

The "REDEEMER'S LAW" Project
Mood:

caffeinated
Topic: Other Non Comics Works

The

"REDEEMER'S LAW"

Project

A Serialized Novel Online To View!

Dan Jolley, (as seen at left), currently has a serialized novel online... What makes this different, is that it is a novel that he wrote twelve years ago that was never published, and is now being revised online!

I have blogged previously about a 'wovel', (web novel), that is being published online right now. That is 'Firstworld' by Jemiah Jefferson, where the readers can choose where that web novel takes the next path to before being published online.

Here, comic book writer and novelist Dan Jolley is revising his first novel, REDEEMER'S LAW, a sci-fi/horror/pulp/superhero story, and inviting everyone to take part.

New chapters appear at midnight every Sunday and Wednesday at www.redeemerslaw.com, along with Dan's thoughts and editing notes. The readers of this serialized novel are encouraged to post their own comments and critiques.

Dan is known for writing several comic books including but not limited to stories for G.I. Joe, Doctor Strange, Sabretooth, Purgatori, Micronauts, and more for several comics companies.

When he was twenty-five years of age, Dan wrote this novel. He had been writing professionally, off and on, for six years prior, but everything he had done before was in the field of comic books. He says "After a comics deal went particularly sour, I decided to develop something all on my own – no editors, no co-writers, no artists".

Dan attempted to get the novel published, but it was not accepted. He shelved it, and went back to comics. So, by summer of 2008, Dan had already scripted about 150 comic books, co-written two novels, written three more solo, and done film novelizations for both Iron Man and Transformers 2! He was pretty busy during the time between his writing his first novel in 1995-96!

Now Dan is ready to get his first novel project back on track. You can check out his progress online by checking out www.redeemerslaw.com and commenting there on each installment if you'd like...

For those of you that are on Facebook, you can join the newly formed Facebook group 'The "REDEEMER'S LAW" Project' recently created by Dan Jolley at:

www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=68809516456

I want to thank Dan Jolley for bringing this to my attention. I have read several of his comics before and was entertained by them. You may have read some of his other works, including his licensed-property novels that include Star Trek S.C.E. - Some Assembly Required, Angel (The TV Series): Vengeance, Iron Man (The Film) Teen Novelization (version). Or his children's books, Pigling: A Cinderella Story, The Smoking Mountain, Escape From Pyramid X, among others.

I'll be sure to follow up on Dan's progress on this novel and possibly blog again about this in the future. It is currently on Chapter 4 of the novel....

(Please Note: A complimentary hard copy for this review was not provided by the creator as it is in online format only.)

Would you believe that our blog has seen its' 320,000th visitor stop in this past week?? Thanks again to all of YOU reading our current and archived blog posts!

Mood:

a-ok
Topic: Comic Cons

Dave Simons

Will Be At The New York Comic Con!

That's right! Dave Simons... artist, says he will be at the New York Comic Con 2009 that is being held at the Jacob Javits Center for all three days, starting February 6th, 7th, and 8th!

You can look for him at Bob Shaw's table Booth #2402, (Comic Art House). Dave will be signing and doing sketches there, plus Bob will have some of Dave's original art to sell. Dave says "hope to see you all there!"... so be sure to stop by and say hi, commission a sketch and check out his artwork for sale!

Please Note: Dave's scheduled signing and sketching times are 1:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. daily during the three day show!

Dave is currently working on Army of Darkness #18, entitled "Montezuma's Revenge".

Dave has drawn many stories during the years. Some of you may remember the great story featuring Simon Garth - the Zombie that Dave drew for the short-lived Bizarre Adventures that was published by Marvel... I do!

Others may remember one of Dave's earliest published comics stories that was printed in DC's Weird War Tales where he inked Ken Landgraf's pencils on a story featuring gorillas that were pressed into service by the Germans in WW II... now that was a strange story... you gotta check that one out!

Dave spent several years at Marvel Comics during the 1980's. He is credited on several issues of Ghost Rider, Howard the Duck Magazine, What If...?, Savage Sword of Conan, and more!

Dave is also credited with works published by DC Comics such as Forgotten Realms.

Since his early works in comics he's been mostly in the animation field. Besides working on Army Of Darkness mentioned above, he's also recently created some Fantastic Four cards for Rittenhouse Archives, among other things....
