Michael McClain sent me a preview copy of his upcoming comic book series "Nyssa: War".

Michael was inspired back in 1997 to start his own comics studio, and publishes a few titles at this time as M-Studios Publishing LLC.  I have already blogged about one of those titles, Ray Leonard's "Guytron", (click here for that blog post.)

First off, let me post what the first issue of the Nyssa: War series is about. Here is the description of the story:

Nyssa is © and ™ to MICHAEL McCLAIN (M-Studios) All rights reserved.

They called her Nyssa--a hired assassin, a warrior who walks the path of lost souls, fighting the demons of her dark treatment soul. She travels through the gates of hell to vengeance against those who have destroyed her family name. She learned to kill without mercy--that the road of a samurai.

Nyssa Story Synopsis

Nyssa (bodyguard) boss (G-Marco) pass on a assassination job and--- now he's the target. Nyssa and Rain (Nyssa best friend and business partner) have to protest him and save their own rear.  This series will be done by the end of 2009. 

Okay, now on to my thoughts of this first issue:

The cover art shown above at the top right of this post is without the logo and the lettering that would come with it.  The artwork does make an impact on the casual browser that would see it at their LCBS.  The additional logo and text adds to the cover.  The finished cover would make me pick up the comic book at my LCBS to see what it is about. 

Turning the front cover page... I find that on the inside front cover there are two house ads, one for 'Battle Blood' and the other for 'Guytron'.  I'm going to stop for a moment and address something here that I will be mentioning later.   This could / should have been an intro page to the story line that is being presented.  I for one have never read the earlier Nyssa comic book mini-series and had no idea what this series is going to be about...

The splash page does what it is supposed to do.  Make a 'splash' impression in front of you, as if you were at a newstand or a LCBS and make you want to spend your $ to buy this and take it home with you to read and possibly collect the rest in the series.

The art style was presented by Michael McClain.  I happened to like it in this story. The style was different enough, yet also familar, that it was easy to follow the storyline. 

The coloring by Virginie D Menard added to the illustrations. Just the right amount of coloring to give it a certain 'feel' of likability.

The lettering done in-house flowed with the art & colors, which is what it is supposed to do.  

Nest comes the writing... Here is what I found that detracted from my having full enjoyment from reading the first issue.  And that is going back to what I wrote earlier.  The inside front cover should / could have been an 'intro' to the characters that are in this story.   The splash page and the initial pages take off like I already knew the characters and their background history to each other.  

However, as I said earlier, I didn't know these characters.  That being said... If I had read the earlier Nyssa mini-series, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more.  It was still a good read, just that I 'felt' I was missing 'something' from not having read the earlier continuity... 

One additional note: there are only 16 interior pages to this comic.  The front inside cover and the back inside cover are both house ads. Nothing wrong with that, except as I mentioned the front inside cover could have been an intro page to new readers, which would have been more helpful.  This mini-series is projected to be four issues.  With the current price of $3.99 for most comics, mainstream and indie comics, I would have preferred to see a few more pages of story.

All in all, I found this first issue to be drawn in a style I liked, the colors and lettering were fine, and story line flowed to the last page, which of course is "To Be Continued".  Hopefully the following issues will address 'the newbie' to the Nyssa character and other characters involved in the series.

Make Way For..... T. Runt!
Mood:  caffeinated

Make Way For...

T. Runt! 

Click Here to see our NEWLY LISTED Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Fanzines and Prozines!

Above:  Front Cover of the T Runt Book! 

To the right: The author Derek McCulloch as seen at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con International!

   

Click here to see our ENDING SOONEST Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Cards and Magazines for sale!

Tina and I met Derek McCulloch and Jimmie Robinson at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con International this Summer...

Although I had been a Facebook Friend of Derek's for a while before that!  I had mentioned him in a blog post or two about his exhibiting at the SDCC, and made sure I visited his table at the Con.  We happened to see him and Jimmie on Preview Night when we were looking for 1st Night items only.

For those of you that were there at the 2009 SDCC or even ones before that, you'll know that it is very hard to see everyone that you plan to see!  Well, unfortunately when I was at the table later to take a photo for this Blog, Jimmie had stepped away.  However, Derek was kind enough to pose with the T. Runt book, Plus another book that he had collaborated on with a different artist, Shepherd Hendrix, on 'Stagger Lee'.

First, let me post what the T. Runt story is about. Here is the description of the story and the details necessary for purchasing the book:

Vegrandis was the runt of the litter and was always picked on by the larger tyrannosaurs...but everything changes once Vegrandis discovers he isn't the smallest animal - let alone dinosaur - in the world!

An all-ages Silverline Books hardcover with a gentle message...and DINOSAURS!

Reading level: Ages 4-8

Hardcover: 32 pages
Publisher: Image Comics (July 29, 2009)  cover price $16.99
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1607060744
ISBN-13: 978-1607060741
Product Dimensions: 8 x 8 x 0.4 inches

Okay, now that the business part of this feature post is out of the way, what did I think of this children's book?  And what is a children's book doing in this this Comic Book Collectors Blog?

Well, second question answered first!  You see, there are a lot of cross-overs going on in the publishing and pop culture industries.  There are screenwriters looking to write comics, because producers are looking for comic book wirters to write screenplays because comics are 'hot'.  Novelists are writing comics, and comic writers are writing novels.  There are other cross-overs going on as well, but I think you get the point.

However, I was kind of surprised at first thumbing through 'Stagger Lee' at the table at the SDCC, because I had already read a preview copy of T. Runt.  You see,  Derek McCulloch wrote the award-winning study of  Stagger Lee which includes the topics of racism and music, so this children's book is on the other extreme in writing style as well as topic.  

Yet, taken on its own stand alone merits, I really enjoyed this T. Runt book.   Enough to suggest to those of You that have nephews or nieces or small kids to consider purchasing this book for an early Christmas / Holiday present!  Seriously, this story and artwork is that good!  Plus how could you go wrong on DINOSAURS?! Especially with the way that Jimmie Robinson draws them!  Great artwork here!

The book has a simple moral that is expressed through a solid and well-crafted storyline.   My thanks to Derek for bringing this children's book to my attention before the SDCC.  I was finally able to fit this book into my Blog's schedule today, and just in time for early buying for gift-giving season!  Which You can find at any of the standard book outlets or online right now.  I know, I checked!

Also, after You become a fan of T. Runt, don't forget to check out T. Runt's Facebook Fan page at:  http://www.facebook.com/pages/T-Runt/105303034694!

BTW.... Talking about gift-giving season coming up... Tina and I don't publish comics or books (yet?) or set up at comic cons anymore, (except at our own Facebook Virtual Comic Con Dealer Table), we do have thousands of indies and mainstream comics in our own online store. Be sure to check out our new listings of comics, graphic novels, Comic Con exclusives and more pop culture items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store that our blogs are based on!  It's due to sales at this online store that keep us going with the ability to post blogs like the one you have read here today!

Threads #1 - With a Shadow Rider Cover By Dick Ayers!
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: Comic Books - New

Threads #1  

With a 'Shadow Rider' Cover By the One & Only

Dick Ayers! 

Click Here to see our NEWLY LISTED Comics, Graphic Novels, Toys, Fanzines and Prozines!

Above:  Photo of Dick Ayers @2002 SDCC

To the Left: The Shadow Rider Cover illustrated by Dick Ayers for Committed Comics'  Threads #1 issue!

I met Thomas Doherty, Editor In Chief of Committed Comics at the recent Long Beach Comic Con...

While there he showed some comics that are coming out at LCBS across the country, and a few that were back issues at his company's table.

One that grabbed my interest was 'Threads' issue #1.  The artwork looked very familar, and it turned out to be a front cover by Dick Ayers!  So of course that had to go to at least in the middle of my 'possible to review' stack to read!

Here are the details for the 'Threads' comic book series as explained at Committed Comics' web site:  

Threads was an experiment with the typical comic book format; A new concept in comic story telling.

Three different creative teams per issue... one constant 'Thread' in the book.

That formula turned out some of the most original and inventive stories to hit comics today.

So come follow the threads and see where they take you....

Two issues were produced in 2001 and 2002 to much critical reviews and then a limited edition collected issue was printed with new material. The collected edition has since sold out!

Additional Info:

The cover artist of Threads shows the past (Dick Ayers), present (Alitha Martinez) and future (Raymond Thomas).

Threads was originally slated to be a six issue mini series but due to creative differences the series was shortened to two issues and later a reprinted graphic novel.

All of the artwork for Threads was fully colored and then converted to grey scale using a special process developed by Color Dojo.

Issue 1 credits only shown here -  
Cover: Dick Ayers and Matt Webb
Writers: Eric Rivera, Kelly Whalund, Danny Donovan
Pencilers: Chad DuLac (Dragon Magazine), Dustin Weaver (Alien vs Predator, Gen 13), Raymond Thomas
Inkers: James Taylor (Battle Pope, Decoy), Victor Miller Sr, Joe Fauvel (Assassins Guild)
Colorist: Matt Webb (Disney Digest, Gizmo and Gears), Kristine Severson, Color Dojo (Deadpool, Thor, Wolverine)
Lettering: Sam Edmisten, Committed Studios

So what were my thoughts of this first issue of the series?  And only the first issue, since I didn't see or read the 2nd issue or the collected reprint TPB?

Well, quite honestly I'm a probable reader for anything that is 'Ghost Rider' - 'Black Rider' - 'Night Rider' - or now 'Shadow Rider' in concept.  Because it was Dick Ayers that brought that original concept to life, and I have enjoyed the original series, and the reprints, and the newer versions since 1950's.

This issue started off great with a Dick Ayers front cover.  Yeah, now I gotta get over that!  So turning the front cover, I see the inside front cover which explains there were to be three stories in this issue.  Three stories by different creative teams.

I believe the concept that was explained as to what 'Threads' was about when this book was being produced in the Spring of 2002, was a good concept...

The first story: Greed, was a good read. The story was good in setting up the character of 'Shadow Rider', and the other characters were fleshed out in 10 pages. T he artwork and usage of grays & blacks were done well. The lettering was fine...

The second story: The Shadow Rider, with 9 pages, was a different style of writing and definitely a different art form!  Even the lettering was way different from the first story. Not that I didn't like the story, it was actually good, but so far different from the first story, that it was good that this story was in the middle of the comic's pages.

The third story: Revenge, with 10 pages, was once again different from the other two stories in writing and art.  Right, I know, the comic is titled 'Threads'.  Okay, got it... Again, after adjusting for the new writing and art style, I found myself liking this story also. 

Three 'threads', all about the same character 'Shadow Rider'.  I liked this 'anthology book', even though the inside front cover says it isn't an anthology comic book, because "each issue is self contained". 

Okay, but it's still an anthology comic to me!  And one that I liked, even though I was a bit prejudiced into picking it up because of the Dick Ayers front cover art!  The comic book gave me what it should do... a period of time of entertainment during my reading it!

What happened that the planned six issues only turned into two issues, I don't about in full, so will just say that this issue was worth picking up.  Those of you that liked the original Ghost Rider - Night Rider - etc., (NOT the motorcycle guy of the 1970's), would more than likely enjoy these stories in this issue!  Yeah, it's a little old, (2002), but Committed Comics does have it in their online store for sale at: http://www.committedcomics.com/comics/threads.htm

CONVENTION PHOTOS FEATURETTE:  Another reason I like attending comic cons, especially the SDCC, is that the programs and panels that are shown quite often have comic book greats that don't make it out  of their home offices very often!   I have been fortunate to meet many comic book creators, including Dick Ayers who is the main feature of this blog today, but also have met other artists that I have always admried their works during the decades.  Below is Herb Trimpe (right) talking with Mark Evanier at the 2002 San Diego Comic Con.  Those that don't know... Herb Trimpe illustrated a LOT of front covers for Marvel Comics that just happened to be WESTERN Comics at Marvel!  Which is why I am running his photo below!  If YOU get a chance to attend SDCC be sure to take in Mark's many programs at the SDCC. You won't be disappointed!

Note From Michael:  I realize that this event is right in the middle of everyone getting ready for the Holiday Season.  So I'm blogging about it early, so that YOU can mark it in Your Calendar to attend, if you are in the Clermont, Florida area during the 12th of December of 2009.  I will be re-posting this in the upcoming weeks as a reminder to those that are Facebook Friends of mine...

Also, if You get the 'feeling' that You are 'missing out' on all the fun, feel free to send me a Facebook Friends Request at:  http://www.facebook.com/michael.d.hamersky .  All You have to do is become a Facebook member yourself to interact with myself and those that are mentioned above.

BTW.... Whereas Tina and I don't publish comics or books (yet?) or set up at comic cons anymore, (except at our own Facebook Virtual Comic Con Dealer Table), we do have thousands of indies and mainstream comics in our own online store. Be sure to check out our new listings of comics, graphic novels, Comic Con exclusives and more pop culture items for sale in our online eBay Featured Store that our blogs are based on!  It's due to sales at this online store that keep us going with the ability to post blogs like the one you have read here today! 

Thanks again to all of YOU reading our current and archived blog posts!  We do blog daily on comic book creators, comic book reviews, and other pop culture news and events including some TV shows and theatrical films!

CONVENTION PHOTOS:  Another character in the DC Comics Universe (DCU) is Harley Quinn.  I'm told by the costumed attendee shown below from the 2009 Long Beach Comic Con (LBCC) that her costume is a variation of Harley Quinn. Since I don't keep up with all of the characters in the DCU, I gotta belive her!  Besides, she looked dangerous with that weapon, and I wanted to believe her!
