TODAY'S 'MAIN FEATURE':

Back on Monday, December 21st, 2009, I reviewed the first issue of this series, as seen by clicking here...

Please note that there was also an issue #0, which I had not reviewed before in this blog, nor have I yet read it as of this new blog date.

As was the case with Issue #1, John B. Lai, Chief Operating Officer/Editor in Chief of the Ultimate Comics Group, LLC, was kind enough to send me a preview copy of the 2nd issue. 

So what's this issue about?

Art & Colors: Harold Dean Cupec Story & Letters: John Lai

Standard Comic
Full Color
Page Count: 24
POD

There’s an undead guy in your house, you’re BEST friend is NOW a VAMPIRE, and it’s not even 7:00am. If you think your mornings are hectic, follow Essence as she leads an unlikely trio to track down the Lord of Vampire’s! Will Essence discover the REAL threat? Find out in the conclusion to ‘Love Bites’. $3.99 21 Story Pages

Jessica Gates never quite fit in. With a childhood full of overwhelming emotion, insecurity & alienation, she struggled to find the truth behind her father’s mysterious death while ALSO trying to develop her self-confidence. Follow the adventures of this telepathic SUPERMODEL as she discovers the security of friendship in between her constant battles against Earth’s deadliest villains, as the enchanting ESSENCE!

The Enchanting Essence #2 TM and © Ultimate Comics Group, LLC.. All rights reserved."

So what did I think about this second issue in the series?

As stated in my earlier review of issue #1, I've always liked Harold's artwork that he has posted on his Facebook Wall. (Note: Harold is a Facebook Friend of mine.) 

This issue #2 of 'Enchanting Essence' also did not disappoint me!

Harold continued to show me that he could draw great looking gals and illustrated this story in a sequential manner that held my interest, just as the first issue did!

As mentioned in my review of issue #1, vampires and zombies are not my usual reading niche, but since I blog about comics and pop culture for others to possibly read as well as myself; I continue to feel that I should include those of that niche that are more than just run-of-the-mill publications.

As I noticed in the first issue, John B. Lai's dialogue kept the story flowing in this 2nd issue also.  However, the main storyline itself seemed to end a few pages before the actual end of the comic book. It seemed to take a few xtra pages to close out the two part story, or was that just me thinking it was a long close?  Other than noting that minor detail, I would be inclined to read a third issue with no hesitation. 

The colors as before were still vivid, and meshed well with the genre of this story, no change there from the first issue.

After reading issues #1 & #2 of this series, I would recommend this for reading.  So, what if You can't find it in your LCBS, or you aren't even near a LCBS?  Well then, Indy Planet which is an online store had issues #0 & #1 for sale, and now has issue #2, which can be purchased here:

http://www.indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=3193

You know...The really nice thing about clicking the above link, is that you can view 5 pages of the story at Indy Planet, before purchasing it.  Just like being at a LCBS and thumbing through it before purchase! 

For more info on this series and others that the Ultimate Comics Group has in its' run of titles, please check the following web site: http://www.ultimatecomicsgroup.com/ !

My thanks to Jon B. Lai for sending me this second issue for possible mention / review here in my Blog!

TODAY'S 'MAIN FEATURE':

Last night I was catching up on emails, messages and sales made.  I had a busy week at a new client's office for the last three days and was getting a little behind in blogging, due to hours needed to get everything accomplished...

However, while using my laptop to do the above, I also watched the 2 Hour Season Premiere of the 20th Season of Survivor: Heroes Versus Villains on CBS TV with Tina.

I've been a fan since Season 1, while Tina starting watching the show after we were married.  As a side note she did see one show of Season 1, when she blogged about it for a business site, "Sometimes You Gotta Eat A Rat!".

So yeah, I really enjoy this TV Show.  And with remembering almost all of the 'Heroes' and 'Villains' cast from the earlier seasons, I can see this is going to be a 'Fun' Season!

If only this idea could be brought back to comics again... Marvel's Secret Wars is the closest thing I've seen to doing this ideas in comics...

Just a few short notes, as I want to get this posted, and get the shipping invoiced and packed for taking to the Post Office:

Obnoxious Villain Love:  The 'Black Widow' (Jeri), and the 'Dragon Slayer' (Coach) - per Tina.  I kinda think this is like a comic book scenario myself, a bad issue of Marvel Super-Villain Team-Up, actually!

Sugar 'losing' her top at the first challenge was kinda like an 'Adult' Comic book along with the flipping off, which was censored.

The Villains winning the first immunity challenge is kind of like the Villains winning at the beginning of a comic book mini-series, but ending up with the Heroes winning at the series finale...

Well, that's it for now... We no longer blog about each week of Survivor or other TV Shows ever since the last WGA Strike, but this Premiere Episode of Season 20 had the makings of a 'comic book' comparison, so I just had to do it!  And yeah, I do have three favorites already...but I'm keeping those choices to myself for now... UNLESS I blog about this Season again!

So in the meantime, you can check out their web site at: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor/!

My thanks again to all of YOU reading this blog and our archived blog posts!

TODAY'S FEATURETTE:

I wanted to mention the below web site today.

Why?  Well, so often there are younger people who wished they too could start a comic strip after seeing them in print or a web comic strip.

And NOW they can! 

Plus they can write in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portugese or Latin!

They choose a character and emotion. Then use a talk or thought balloon, and then add more characters and talk.  

The next process: you add objects and panel prompts.

Finally you can edit and then print, OR email your comic stript to your friends...

Looks pretty neat! 

For You to take a look at this website and enjoy, just click the link below:

http://www.makebeliefscomix.com/   

Pictured below is the portal page to the web site itself.  The web site was created by Bill Zimmerman with art by Tom Bloom:

BTW, Tom Bloom has a Fan Page at Facebook, which you can see by clicking this link.

My thanks to Bill and Tom for setting this web site up!  After you or your friends or kids go through setting up your own strip, let me know what YOU think of the site!

Book Business Magazine Asks: Whose Hands Is It In?

"Whose Hands Is It In?"

TODAY'S 'MAIN FEATURE':

Tina and I have a lot of subscriptions about the publishing industry come in, both hard copy and e-mailed copies...

I usually don't blog about them here, but the latest issue of 'Book Business' Magazine, had several articles that caught my attention, that I wanted to share. I'll just mention two of them here in this blog post today.

That's because the articles can be 'translated' to selling comics and graphic novels as well as books.

First up was the cover article: "The Future of the Industry: Whose Hands Is It In?"

The article was by James Sturdivant, and was excellent IMO on how the book industry is reaching a 'disruption point' as big-box stores, as well as online retailers and e-Books are defining the book market.

Here is just a little of the story:

"What does it mean when a city of 230,000 loses its lone bookstore, as is happening to Laredo, Texas, in early 2010? With a world of books available to purchase online, is it merely a symbolic loss, or is there something more deep-rooted at work?"

For more of the article... click here!

Additionally there is another great article, this one titled "Socially Active" by Janet Spavlik, about how Chronicle Books has become the #2 followed publisher on Twitter.  Plus how they have added a Facebook Fan Page, and between the two of those Social Networks have found that those two links are in the Top 10 of sites referring to their own web site.  For more on this article, click here for the direct link!

Again, I don't usually blog about articles like these, or magazines about the industry; but this magazine is really 'clicking' with this issue.

My thanks to the publishers for making this info available both in hard copy and online!

PLUS: My thanks again to all of YOU reading this blog and our archived blog posts! We usually blog on a daily basis during the 'work week' on comic book creators, comic book reviews, comic cons, book signings, and other pop culture news and events.

TODAY'S FEATURETTE:

Back on November 28th, 2009, I blogged that the Pasadena Rose Bowl Flea Market was getting into the comic shows market, after receiving a Press Release about that fact.

"A GREAT DAY OF FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY" is what the Press Release stated.

That's because the Rose Bowl Comic & Collectibles Show would be held in conjunction with the Rose Bowl Flea Market. RG Canning and local comic shop owner Chris Brady have joined forces to present the Rose Bowl Comic & Collectibles Show held the second Sunday of every month in conjunction with Rose Bowl Flea Market held in Pasadena.

"The area has been in need of a local comic and collectibles show devoted to comics, card gaming and sports cards and memorabilia for a long time. I am proud to perner with a great company like RG Canning to bring this project ot life" said Chris Brady, one of the promoters of the event.

 

The Rose Bowl Comic & Collectibles Show kicked off on December 13, 2009, which Tina and I were not able to attend.

The next show is this very upcoming weekend, and is supposed to  continue every 2nd Sunday of the month in conjunction with the Rose Bowl Flea Market held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena California. 

Unfortunately Tina and I will NOT be able to attend this show either, so am just mentioning it here for those of you that are in the LA Metro Area.

BTW, You can keep track of this upcoming show on your own, as there is a Facebook Event at the following link, where you can be interactive:  

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=290069436055

We'll try to make it to one of the next shows to let you know how it is going there at this newly scheduled series of events.

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

Talking about comics: if YOU are a comics creator, (writer, penciler, inker, colorist, letterer, etc.), OR even a Comics / Magazine Publisher, feel free to contact me regarding YOUR works for a possible mention / review!

I've made a special blog post about: "How To Best Submit YOUR Publication For Possible Review!" for those creators / publishers that would like to possibly have their publications mentioned or reviewed, which could either be published in the 'Main Feature' or 'Featurette' sections.
