The KickStarter Project for Non-Stop to Comic-Con!
 
  
 width=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3985 -    I received the following message a few days ago:

My name is Randy Van Dyke, and I'm the writer/director of a feature film called "Non-Stop to Comic-Con." I'm trying to raise awareness about this film and the Kickstarter campaign we are running to fund it. I believe a film like this is very important because it sends a positive message about geek culture, and is a fun story everyone can enjoy.  

I told Randy that I would check the KickStarter project out, and I did.

It is actually interesting enough for me to blog about it, which is what I am doing today...

This is not the first film that Randy and David Edmundson have been involved in.

I invite you to check out this KickStarter link, and see for yourself what they are proposing to do.

If you wish, they would appreciate a donation, and they have pledges for backers of this project of theirs.

Check it out and see if you wish to participate!

~ Michael

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3984  -     This past month has been very stressful for me in my personal life, which I won't go into in this blog. 

Suffice to say that my personal appearances schedule has been affected as well.  So I wasn't for sure if I was going to be able to attend the upcoming 2013 Long Beach Comic Con...

However, things have been fixed as to where I can attend at least Saturday at the 5th Annual Long Beach Comic Con!

I've been very happy each year I've attended the multi-day con as well as the one day Expo in the Spring.

This con reminds me how the San Diego Comic Don used to be like, before moving to the San Diego Convention Center.  Yes... It is that good!

The photo shown above is me with a few superheroes at the 2010 Long Beach Comic Con...

I'm looking forward to attending the LBCC this weekend, and will be reporting on it via my Facebook Fan Page, (Michael D Hamersky On Comics), and then with a review blog after the convention is over.

You too can still purchase memberships to attend this con, whether both days or just one day.

The web site page for purchase is at this link.

The Facebook Fan Page for the LBCC is at this link.

If you see me at the LBCC... Feel free to stop me and say hello!

~ Michael

Legends of the Goldens: Forbidden Playground
 
 
Promo Comic Book Published by Paul Tallerday
 
  
 width=

  

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3983 -     Last night I had dinner with Barbara Marker and her husband Paul Tallerday.   Barbara has a web site / Facebook Fan Page at:  BarbaraMarkerArtist.com.

Barbara had called me that the new promotional comic book, Legends of the Goldens: Forbidden Playground, that her husband Paul had published, had arrived, and wondered if I would like a review copy?

Well, I did... And met them for dinner over in Pacific Beach where they live.  I also talked on the phone with the creator of the book series, S.B.K. Burns on the phone.

I read the promo comic book later last night...

Here's 'My Take' on the promo comic book.

First, the front cover:   Interesting concept on the front cover...

Inside front cover: The promo piece of what the concept is about... This is a promo comic on the new adult novel that is being published by Soul Mate Pulbishing in November of 2013. (Later this month.) 

The series is a 'Sci-Fi Paranormal Romance'.   Okay...

The credits are as follows:

Artwork by Kamen Chalakov

Story by S.B.K. Burns

Colorist by Barbara Marker

Published by Paul Tallerday

The splash page starts right off with the storyline. 

The continuing pages, (eight interior pages in total), carry on the storyline.

Inside back cover:  A 'house ad' for another of S.B.K. Burns' projects, this one titled: 'Entangled'.

Back Cover: A 'house ad' for S.B.K. Burn's other project titled 'Getting Them Up'.

Okay... That's it for this promo comic book.

What's my thoughts?

Well... I haven't read S.B.K. Burn's other projects as of yet.  Barbara did the front & back cover of Entangled, which I saw a preview of at the San Diego Comic Con 2013.

What I saw here in this promo comic book was a good concept, one that would be probably be fulfilled in the 95,000 word novel that is being published later this month.

There was quite a bit presented in this short 8 page promo story.  Enough that I believe that the target market for the book series would be teased enough by the promo comic book to search out the novel that is being printed.

For you to take a look at this promo comic book, I'm going to refer you to S.B.K.'s Amazon Author Page, where her other projects are shown for sale in either a Kindle format or hard copy publishing format.  Here is that link. My understanding is that S.B.K. will have a Kindle eBook up soon for the promo comic book, and then a link for her novel.

(UPDATE 11-22-13:  S.B.K. informed me that the comic book is now listed at her Amazon site for purchase!).

My thanks to Barbara Marker for bringing this latest coloring project of hers to my attention!

~ Michael

San Diego Comic Fest Review Meeting & Potluck Party
Held On Saturday, November 16th!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3982 -     This past Saturday was the Review Meeting & Potluck Party for the volunteers of the San Diego Comic Fest.

The event was held at the Old Poway Park Gazebo at 14134 Midland Road, Poway, CA, starting at noon.

Mike Towry, the San Diego Comic Fest founder led the group with bringing in tables to place the Potluck Party dishes.

Kim Stadler, (shown at the left in the second photo above), gave a full report of what had happened at the 2013 Comic Fest, and what we could look forward to at the 2014 Comic Fest!

Kim will be in charge of the room at the top of tower for 2014.  The theme has not yet received approval from the owners of the license of the intellectual property, so I'm not mentioning it here yet.

The 2013 San Diego Comic Fest had many additional attendees over the 2012 count, but still not enough for the non-profit organization to move to the other side of the Town & Country Resort for 2014.  So the Comic Fest will stay on the East side of the resort for 2014.

There is a big need for more volunteers for 2014... You are invited to join us to help organize next year's convention.

The link to the Facebook Fan Page for the San Diego Comic Fest can be found here.

Thanks to all of those that came to this special Review Meeting & Potluck Party!

Here is the link to the rest of the photos not shown at the top right of this blog.

~ Michael

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3981 -     Today is Veterans Day...  So what exactly is Veterans Day?  Here's the Wikipedia entry for this holiday.

Plus... Here are my previous years blogs on Veterans Day: 2007, 2008, 20092010, and 2011.

I'm not a veteran... Just a Navy Brat.  But I appreciate the fact that my Dad was a veteran, as well as several of my extended family members.

My thanks to them and those of you that have served this country in the Armed Forces.  

Happy Veterans Day!

~ Michael
