TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3303:

Each year since 2001, either myself, or Tina and I have 'attended' the special event 'Free Comic Book Day', (FCBD), in San Diego, in one way or the other!

In 2009, Tina and I surveyed almost all of the FCBD events at our Local Comic Book Shops in the San Diego Metro Area, (LCBS), in order to find out how the response was to that day, and to find out how each LCBS participated. Here are the links to those two blogs, Part 1 & Part 2, and you won't believe how many LCBS we visited! So many it took two blog posts!

Last year I blogged and 'Facebooked Mobiled' from a LCBS, SoCal Comics, in the middle of all the action!  Thanks again to Jaime Newbold for inviting me to do so!

So, yes... You could say I am an active participant in the FCBD tradition, which is going to celebrate its 10th Anniversary in 2011!

In honor of that... FCBD has already publicized what the 'Gold Level of Sponsorship' Comics will be!  I've chosen a few to show you here today, and the others can be seen at the FCBD web site itself here!

So, like the folks at FCBD say... "Save The Date", which in this case will be Saturday, May 7th of 2011! 

Have Some Fun! I know I will!  Where at... I don't know yet, but I'll be sure to tell YOU... My Blog Readers in advance!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3302:

I'm still reading, (and possibly review blogging), publications that I received at several comic cons this year, including a couple of short comic book boxes full of comics and graphic novels from the recent 2nd Annual Long Beach Comic Con (LBCC)!

In the Artists Alley of the LBCC, I came across Mark Rivers' table, where he showed me one of his comics from his 'Dirty Kitchen Press' imprint, 'Freaks Mutants, and Monsters' #1.

Here is 'My Take' on this indie comic book:

Front Cover:  Kind of a cool comic book cover in an 'underground comix' style.

Inside Front Cover: Table of Contents shows 4 separate stories.  The copyright info, which I always read...portrays an 'attitude', which may or may not be reader friendly for those that read it. There is a good placement for Mark's web site at the bottom right of the page.

1st Story: 'Saga of the Burrito Monkey' - You know... As I read this, I find myself transported back to the late 1950's when 'Atlas Comics' was in its heyday with MoNSTer and HoRRoR Comics! Titles like 'Journey Into Mystery', 'Tales To Astonish', and 'Tales of Suspense' started back then.

This story although updated for the 2000s, reminded me of the presentation format that was used in those above named comic book titles. Being 'Old School'... I kind of liked this, even with the 'Underground Comix' style of art, and 'current day' dialogue that was used.  Actually, I 'Liked' this feature!  Good start for this 'anthology comic'!

2nd Story:  'I Fought Muscadon and lived' - Yet another story that reminded me of the 'Good Old Days' of Atlas Comics, yet updated in artwork and dialogue.  Great moral to the story and a twist ending.  Another 'Winner'!

3rd Story: 'Attack of the Meme Meeps'! - Really good situational sotry plus with a twist ending.  Again using influences from the past, yet updated for the 2000s audience.

4th Story:  'Merry Christmas' - A 2 page only story.  Unfortunately, this one didn't 'flow' with me.  It wasn't like the previous three stories.  Maybe because it was only 2 pages in length? I don't want to call it a 'filler' story to round out the pages needed for the comic book, but the two pages didn't work for me. A weaker story to end the issue in my opinion.

However, as I've said before, reviewing an 'anthology comic' is a very hard thing to do.  Writing and illustrating all the stories in an anthology has to be the same, in that it is a very hard thing to do.  Usually most regular sized anthology comics have three stories... Where I find I really 'loved' one, was 'okay' with the second, and wondered where the heck the third one came from, or why was it even included???!  Here, in this issue I was able to read three really good illustrated and written stories, and was left wondering about just one of them.

Because of that, I'm still going to give this comic book issue a very favorable rating at a Very Fine / Near Mint (VF/NM) 9.0 out of a 10.0 comic book rating scale.  That's because the 1st three stories flowed so well in their presentation!

Where can YOU get a copy of this comic book, if you aren't lucky enough to see Mark Rivers at a comic con like I did?

Well... You could go to his web site, Freaks Mutants, and Monsters where you could download a digital copy, or click a link there to order a hard copy! 

BTW, while you are on that site... Check out his blog where he blogs about his creations and other topics.  Just click the 'Home' link on the order page. 

(I don't see any Facebook Fan Page for his imprint, so can't direct you there at this time.)

My Thanks to Mark Rivers for bringing this comic book of his to my attention!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3301:

I have mentioned before that my 'free reading time' is somewhat limited, due to on-site projects for clients, home-office web projects at all hours, and also social networking via my laptop and now my Droid!

So when I get a book, heavy with 'copy', like the one pictured above, it takes me a little time to read it all, and then possibly blog about it, if I find it blog worthy...

I met the main author of this 'pulp mag' format book during the recent 2010 Long Beach Comic Con, (LBCC), at the Silver Comics booth.

That author would be Michelle Bryson, who is pictured in the top left photo, and then with her publisher, Johnny Ortiz in the lower top photo at the left.

I've blogged about Johnny's Silver Comics line several times before, as seen in this link, but this is his first pulp mag style publication to see print.

I know that comic books have their 'roots' in the pulps, and I have read some during the years, but it is comic books that have been my main emphasis in collecting.  That's because even in the 1960's comics were a lot easier to obtain than pulps when I was younger.

However, this 'pulp' was based on 'The End', a character that I had already read a couple of adventures of his in the 'Silver Comics' series of comics, so I thought I would give it a try.

I normally don't blog about non-comics publications in this Blog, as it is titled: 'ComicBookCollectorsBlog.com', but the cross-genre nature of this publication merited at least a mention at my New Facebook Fan Page if I didn't blog about it.

I found that reading it was a pleasure.  Michelle 'paints' the pictures in my mind about what is going on in the story, even though it isn't an illustrated graphic novel.  Good job there, Michelle!

Plus, a famous comic book artist, Frank Brunner, has several illustrations of his interspersed in the text pages.  I haven't seen his work for a while, but it brought back memories to me of his works on other titles I've enjoyed in the past, i.e. Dr. Strange in Marvel Premiere, Howard the Duck, and Red Sonja to name a few. The illustrations are printed in black and white, to fit the 'pulp' format style.

In addition to the main story, there are three more stories. One by Dennis Rau, and then two by Dan Beltran, both with illustrations by Dan Beltran.  Those were also good, and made this a total package worth reading!

This is a well rounded publication, and more than worthy of blog mention! The format is in 6" x 9" softcover book format, and the front and back cover illustration definitely grabs the browser's attention when first seen. 

However, for YOU to purchase this book, you'll have to order it directly from Johnny's publishing company.  The cover price is astounding for what is presented... only $6.99 + shipping!

That is, if YOU don't see him at a comic con near you.  I'm not for sure of his con schedule... So I suggest you check out the web site for Silver Comics, plus become a 'member' of the Silver Comics Facebook Group Page, which I have already done!

As to my 'comic book grade' for this 'pulp mag', I'm going to rate it a Very Fine / Near Mint (VF/NM) 9.0 as it chock full of stories and illustrations, and worth the purchase if you are into pulp mag style of publications for reading!

My thanks to Michelle Bryson for bringing this publication to my attention at the Long Beach  Comic Con!  AND to Johnny Ortiz for publishing another quality publication!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3300:

Vinnie was with us last weekend, and formatted a few blogs for me to post here as needed.

Vinnie read the first issue of this ongoing series, and due to his interest in the historical theme, chose it to be one of his blogs.  Thanks again, Vinnie!

------------------------

This post is a blog review featuring "My Take" on the comic book "The Daughters of Merlin" by Jester Press Comics.

We got this comic from when we visited the Small Press section at the 2010 San Diego Comic Con International. 

This weekend my dad needed additional content for his blog. Normally, when I come to my dad's house for a weekend, I write one blog, but this weekend, I wrote three. He just needed a little more help since things are busy, and since I enjoy reading comics and could improve on my writing skills... why not?!

I looked through a couple comics and this was one that looked interesting, and was (sort of) age appropriate, so I read it, and am blogging about it. I mainly picked it for my interest in wizardry and magic (for the fictional side), and Merlin as well as King Arthur and his Round Table (for it's non-fictional counterpart). Well anyways, onto the part you have (hopefully) been waiting for - the review!

The Front Cover (drawn by Edi Guedes) depicts the main characters in this issue- Merlin, and his daughters Breeta, Mina, and Skye, and who appears to be their mentor, Tristana. The kingdom of King Arthur is in the background, and a dragon appears as though ready to strike.

The Inside Front Cover has a "Table of Contents" thing giving credit where credit is due (sorry, just had to say it). It also gives a little teaser that entices the potential reader to read on.

The Interior Pages contain the story and illustrations which I really liked due to my interest in wizardry, magic, and medieval times. The story, although was't very long, nor told much in this issue (mind you, this is issue #1), it was still fairly good. Just at some parts, I wasn't always sure what storyline was trying to be told. It seemed to kind of "jump around" per se/ The illustrations were good, and were drawn in a medieval styled way (to me at least) it seems. Overall, it was a little above moderate, but my infatuation with the theme kind of put it near the top for me.

The Inside Back Cover just had an advertisement of another comic of Jester Press comics, so not much of a big deal for me. Onto the Back Cover!

The Back Cover, unfortunately has yet again... another advertisement, probably the printer(?). Now only if there could have been something about the comic that was inside?!

Overall. I would still give the comic book, "The Daughters of Merlin" #1 a comic book grade of Very Fine Plus (VF+), a 8.5 on a 10.0 grading scale.

Thank you for reading my review.
 
~Vinnie

 

NOTE From Michael: You can purchase this comic book from the publisher via the Jester Press Comics Store tab on their web site.

PLUS: You can send a 'Friends Request' to them on Facebook, as they aren't maxed out yet on the limit of numbers of friends Facebooks allows (5,000).


----------------------

Thanks Vinnie, for guest blogging here once again, and giving us your thoughts on this publication from a tween's POV!

BTW, If you liked Vinnie's 'Take' on this publication, he's also review blogged several other publications so far this year! 

Including the graphic novel as shown to the left.  Here's his review blog on this publication: Vinnie's Take on Berona's War: Field Guide.  After reading that and thinking that this is something YOU would like to read or give as a gift for this Holiday Season, here's a link to where you can purchase it online! Berona's War: Field Guide!  But YOU gotta hurry, as there are only 14 days left for Christmas Day!

Also...If YOU liked his review today, you may enjoy reading Vinnie's other reviews on: Sea Ghost #1Mouse Guard: Legends of the Guard #4 (of 4)Clutch Cargo DVD, The All New Super Friends Hour Season 1 DVDThe Ultimate Underdog Collection Volume 1Planet HulkCoraline, Ponyo, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Sonic the Hedgehog TPB Vol 1, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, The Possum #1 comic book, just to name a recent few! 

Plus check out Vinnie's 'Look at The Captain Rochester Party for the Artists' at the recent 2010 Comic-Con International: San Diego! He really had fun meeting and having dinner with Sergio Aragones and others there at this exclusive after hours Con Party!

My thanks to those of YOU that have read today's blog post! I do appreciate that!

For those of you that didn't know me before today... I first set up as a 'dealer' at the 1972 San Diego West Coast Comic Con (SDCC) at the El Cortez Hotel. So I've been around comic conventions for a little while, LOL!  Plus Vinnie (pictured at the 2010 SDCC), likes attending the Comic-Con with us too now!  Keeping this tradition going in the family.  I used to take his older sister and brothers to it when they were younger 

Talking bout Comic Cons... My wife Tina and I now have an on-line exhibitor (dealer) table at the first "virtual" comic con titled the "Facebook Comic Con" (FBCC)!

You can view our dealer table and interact with us there on Facebook by clicking this link, which takes you to our table named: 'Facebook Comic Con | Make It So Marketing'. 

So if YOU are a Facebook member, please 'join' our Facebook Comic Con - Make It So Marketing exhibitor table for updates, specials, links to this blog, and other wall comments that we post every day! 
 

 Also, if you are a Facebook member and would like to also join my Facebook Network, I would have sent you a Friend Request, or accepted yours.  However,  I have reached the maximum of 5,000 Facebook Friends and Fan pages 'limit' already, so I have now added on a personal Facebook Fan Page of my own!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3299:

I attended the 'World Premiere' of 'The Cape' at the 2010 Comic-Con International: San Diego this past July.  It was previewed at a special panel on Friday, July 23rd, from 2:15 - 3:15.

The room attendants distributed severl of the above pictured 'SDCC Exclusive' mini comic book, an 8 page booklet, measuring approx 4 & 1/2" x 6 & 1/2" in size. That was to create additional 'buzz' about the the then upcoming mid-season replacement TV show in 2011.

Well... It's now December 9th of 2010, and the 'upcoming' mid-season replacement is scheduled to start airing soon!  Sunday, January 9th, a month from today, is the two hour premiere from 9 - 11 PM.

The 'normal' Monday night time slot for the show starts on Janury 17th.  The series has been picked up for 13 episodes.

Although the cast for the TV Show has several known actors, such as Summer Glau shown above left in the cast photo and a Comic-Con photo, the 'buzz' wasn't all that 'big' at the special comic-con program I attended...

It's been a few months since then, and I'm starting to see more 'buzz' online now. I'm also going to give this show a 'try' starting January 9th, and if there are more comic-book related stories to this new TV Show, I'll 'report' back here.  The mini-comic is supposed to be a 'preview' for the Graphic Novel... So we'll see!

You can find out more about this show like I did at: The Cape on NBC, Orwell Is Watching You, and the Wikipedia entry.

I personally enjoyed certain aspects of the Preview that was showed at Comic-Con...  But there was enough time between the July SDCC and the January Premiere to 'fix' the snags that were 'voiced' at this Comic-Con program.  We'll see...!

For those of YOU not fortunate enough to attend the 2010 SDCC, I have the above pictured SDCC mini-comic exclusive at my own online LCBS at ComicBooksCircus.com for  reasonable amount plus shipping until I run out!
