TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3134:

Earlier this week I posted on my Facebook Group Page, (found at Hamersky.com), that I had received a 'Facebook Event Invite' to attend the filming of this week's "Biff, Bang, POW!" show at a Local Comic Book Shop, (LCBS), named Southern California Comics.

So yesterday I arrived there before the action was to take place, (from 11 AM to 1 PM), to see the five members of the group set up, practice, and then run through the filming of the show for the week. 

For those of you that weren't able to attend this 'event', I am posting a link to the actual video as seen by clicking this link.

The 'Facebook Event' showed the following:  

Filming of Biff, Bam, POW! May 13th, 2010

Date:      Thursday, May 13, 2010
Time:      11:00am - 1:00pm
Location:  So Cal Comics - 8280 Clairemont Mesa Bl. #124 San 
 Diego, CA. 92111

"This is our Comic-Book segment that we film every Thursday for our website (http://www.monkeytosstv.com/) at So Cal Comics. Come and watch us create our insanity and take our meds."

This event's page, even though it is now over, can be found by clicking here!

My thanks to Laurence E Gibbs, who sent me the invite. I had fun watching and taking photos for this blog on what the MonkeyTossTV folks did to wrap up this week's video shoot!

I could go on as to what this 'Biff, Bam, Pow!' section of their web site is all about, but I believe that the video is worth more than a thousand words after watching it!

My thanks also to Danny Djeljosevic, Ian Strelsky, Andrew Jacques, and Matthew Rios for opening up this film shoot for the public to watch! 

Plus, My thanks to Jamie Newbold, owner of SoCal Comics for hosting the event at his LCBS.  As always, he was a gracious host at his shop!

AND My thanks again to all of YOU reading this blog and our archived blog posts, now over the 3,131 total posts in number!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3133:

As stated in yesterday's blog, I met Jeff Clemens in Artists Alley at the 2010 Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con last month. That is where he gave me a copy of his earlier work 'Black Dawn' #1 for possible review in this blog. (I did review it as seen at this link.)

Today, I'm reviewing another comic book that Jeff illustrated & co-created with Mike W Naylor, the creator / writer of 'Vesuvius Johnson'.

So what's this comic book about? Here's the background info from the web site:

"Thanks for stopping by to check out Vesuvius Johnson! When is the last time you read a comic book by two guys who really know what it's like to jump out of a plane at altitudes that require Oxygen with over 100lbs of gear, guns and ammo strapped to them? Mike Naylor and Jeff Clemens are those two guys and they're proud to bring you this one of a kind Superhero. Vesuvius Johnson! Nobody knows action first hand better than Mike and Jeff. Both are Ex-Military Special Operations Veterans with real world adventures under their utility belts! Don’t miss this once in a lifetime chance to jump on the train while it's still at the station! Get on board! We need you! Vesuvius Johnson needs you! Your adventure with Vesuvius Johnson starts here and now.

Who and what is Vesuvius Johnson? Born from the fiery core of this earth, Vesuvius Johnson is unlike any other superhero to have ever set foot on the planet. Have you heard of Mother Nature? Let’s just say he is a very close relative to her with an ugly edge and much less forgiving.”

So what's 'My Take' on this first comic of the series in 2010?

Front Cover:  This is illustrated in a different style than from yesterday's reviewed comic book by the same artist. Definitely can tell why there's a person called 'Vesuvius' just from the cover page though!

Inside Front Cover:  Used as a 'Credits' Page: Besides being created and written by Mike W Naylor, co-created with art by Jeff Clemens, we also see that the coloring is by Antonio Mastria, with lettering by Wayne Powers.  Plus their web site's url is shown.

Splash Page / First Page: Not used as a 'splash page'. Starts right in with the storyline.

The storyline is 'heavy' in dialogue. So much so, that several pages have more than 6 panels in them.

Yet after the last panel on page 25, there is a 'to be continued' sign.  Of course I do realize that the front cover did say 'Day One', so it makes sense there would be a continued story happening here.

So what about the artwork?  Well, to me it's reminiscent of some underground comix artwork, which is NOT saying it's bad or good, just that it has a little of that 'feel' to me. And I do like several underground comix both Silver / Bronze Ages & today's Modern Age of Comics.

Although pages 4 & 5 used the old school standard of 3 panels to a row with 3 rows / nine total panels, there is the other extreme shown on pages 8 & 9, where the panels are inserted with a 'road' track to connect them from page 8 to page 9, and then back to page 8 and then ending at page 9. Whew!  So the artwork is definitely something to watch in this issue!

The colors used are wide ranging, from being 'subdued' to 'in your face', and then somewhere inbetween again! I'm reminded a little of underground comix again, where the 'boundaries' of colors are challenged.

The lettering was done very well, considering the different formats the panels were placed in on the pages mentioned above.  Good job on the fonts used, and the sound effects used!

Overall, I would give this introductory issue a 'Fine / Very Fine' (F/VF) 7.0 comic book grade, (out of a 10.0 Mint grading scale).

The cover price of $4.99 could be considered a 'little' high, even though there were enough pages, 25 of them, including the inside back cover as an 'interior page' in the story.

Only the back cover could be considered an 'ad page', even though it was the ad page that the printer,(ComiXPress), used to show that they were the printers. (Part of the printing process / contract.)

I think that the concept of this comic book series is a good one. Just that the execution of this 1st Issue could have been 'tightened' a little more.  Maybe the 'looseness' of this issue is what reminded me more of what older 'underground comix' were like, and what some of the ones being published today are like.

Overall, this 1st introductory issue enticed me enough to check out the comic's web site, and see what the plans are for the future of this series. 

I am suggesting that you check it out also, as there are several pages from this 1st issue on that web site, and you can see for yourself what I commented on above, and thus make your own decision on this series.  You can't beat that!  You get a 'review' here and a link to preview a few pages of the same story!

For info on how YOU can see more AND order this comic book, check the following web site: www.VesuviusJohnson.com  - where you can read the bios of the creators, their upcoming con schedules, and much, much more!

Also, "Vesuvius Johnson" has a Facebook Member Account, and NOT a Fan Page.  So if YOU are a Facebook Member, feel free to send a 'Friends Request to 'him' at his Facebook member account by clicking here!

My thanks to Mike W Naylor & Jeff Clemens, for submitting this first issue of the series for possible review! You can also see what Mike and Jeff are currently working on together and separately by visiting http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0623295/ for Mike and www.JeffClemens.com for Jeff!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3132:

I met Jeff Clemens in Artists Alley at the 2010 Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con last month. We got to talking and he submitted the above shown comic book for possible review in this blog. Jeff is the artist in this issue from an earlier comic book launch.

So what's it about? Here's the Press Release Info:

"Sunlight kills.

Everywhere the bodies of the dead lay where dawn caught them.

Now the survivors of the solar plague cower in darkness during the day.  They flee by night while cities burn.

Ex-cop Jedediah Miller and his teenage kids start across the desert in a stolen tractor-trailer.   The only thing they know is this: go West to safety.

The plague isn’t the only enemy they’ll face.”

So what's 'My Take' on this first comic of the series?

Front Cover:  The title logo is inserted in just the right font compared to the figure and the figure's shadow on the front cover. Interesting effect and enough to have me place this comic near the top of my review stack to read!

Inside Front Cover:  The credits are presented in an interesting style.  BTW:  The writer is John O'Connor. Art by Jeff Clemens. Edited by Bruce Levine. Published by Scare Tactix Graphics.

Splash Page / First Page: Not a 'splash page' per se, but illustrated with enough panels (3) to draw me in to turning the pge.

Pages 2 & 3:  Here's the 'splash page' drawn like a double spread or centerfold would be.  Definitely set the table for the storyline and the next pages.

Pages 4 & 5: Are double spread pages also. For visual effect. No text used.

Again, Pages 12 & 13 are done double spread - but no more of these up to the 'end' of the story on page 30.

Then on page 31, is a 'coming soon' page, telling the reader to look for the rest of 'Black Dawn' to come out in installments throughout the year.

Page 32 is an 'invite' to the reader to "Be In the Book".  Really...An offer to be 'in' the Black Dawn book.  Good idea to draw the casual reader in to email their name and photo for possible inclusion in this series.

Inside Back Cover: House 'Ad' for other Scare Tactix Graphix items, inscluding comics, posters, and t-shirts.

Back Cover: The Company Logo enlarged for Scare Tactix Graphix and their web site name is presented.

So did this 1st issue immerse me into this storyline enough for me to want to follow it...?

Well...For a storyline in this genre, this was a good introductory issue.

The dialogue was a little 'sparse' on some pages, what with the 3 double spread pages used.  However there was a beginning or the start of an origin story being told here.

The artwork was well illustrated, and not really 'over the top' in depiction for a story in this genre.

The coloring is what sets this issue apart from others in this genre!  Really good and sets the mood and tone from the very first page down to the last page.

The lettering was done right for almost all of the pages on the word balloons, and definitely done right for the sound effects.

Overall, this introductory issue did what it was supposed to do...Which was to draw in the casual reader to want to read more.

For info on how YOU can see more AND order this comic book, check the following web site: www.BlackDawnWeb.com - where you can also view a video on this project!

Also, you don't have to be a Facebook member to see the brand new Facebook Fan Page for Scare Tactix Graphix. But if YOU are a Facebook Member feel free to 'Like' / 'Fan' them at their Facebook Fan Page by clicking here!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3131:

This morning I'm blogging 'My Take', (a.k.a. review), on 'The Adventures of Captain Rochester', which are the promotional comic books published by Rochester Electronics. I have blogged earlier about meeting Scott Shaw! at the recent 2010 Wizard World Anaheim Comic Con, (click here for the blog), who was the illustrator for issue #2 only... 

Scott gave me a copy of that issue, and I wondered aloud about issue #1 and if it differed from issue #1?

Well, I was sent a copy of #1 by the Company itself for possible review here!

So What's "My Take" on these issues?

Well, first let me recap what I said about the series and #2 in particular:

The artwork on the cover of #2 and the interior pages were illustrated by Scott Shaw!, so naturally I had to read it, after Scott himself offered it to me at the Wizard World Anaheim!

The issue's script was by George Karalias & Paul Gerrish, with art by Scott Shaw!, coloring by Tom Luth, and with lettering by Dan Nakrosis.  Edited by George Karalias & Scott Shaw!

I found this issue to be chock full of information, and a fun read!  Which is why I enjoy reading 'promotional comics' like this!

So what is the background and theme for this comic book title? Here's what I found from the web site:

Captain Rochester and the Quest for Traceability, Authorization and Quality.

"To combat the increasingly severe problems caused by counterfeit and sub-standard semiconductors, Rochester Electronics joined forces with the Semiconductor Industry Association to establish the SIA Anti-Counterfeit Task Force. In addition, Rochester continues to participate in international anti-counterfeit efforts, including the Reliable Electronic Component Suppliers Classification program in China (RECS).

To further this cause, Rochester Electronics introduced Captain Rochester - a strong and entertaining industry hero who promotes safe and secure methods of dealing with the procurement of semiconductors. As an icon, he has come to be a symbol of what is right about the industry. As Smokey the Bear is to preventing forest fires, Captain Rochester is to preventing customers from making mistakes in buying counterfeit or sub-standard devices. As new plots and adventures unfold, Captain Rochester will do more than battle against the "dark side" of the industry - he will interact in positive and beneficial relationships with other characters who will represent real-world allies dedicated to facilitating the purchase of legitimate semiconductor products."
 

That was pretty cool in my book!

So, what about issue #1?

Well, since it came out first, almost a year earlier, any comparisons should not be heavy handed. I consider myself a fair reviewer, so here goes:

Issue #1's Front Cover:  Good Layout, and good use of the comic book title's logo. The right amount of 'copy' (text) for a promotional comic book cover!

Inside front cover: One of those 'imaginary' full page ads that you would see in older comics.  Neat idea! I liked it!

Splash Page (Page 1):  There wasn't a 'splash page' in this issue. Page one started right off for what turned out to be a 3 page story.  The villain was the same main character used on the inside front cover page, 'Count Der Fitter', (pun intended). Story by Paul Gerrish and george Karalias. Pencils and inks by Charlie Cody.  Color by Tom Luth.  I enjoyed this promotional storyline, and thought it meshed in well with the company's uniqueness.

The next story titled 'Star Truck: The Search for Stock' had reasonably illustrated likenesses of the parodied characters, enough that you would know who the characters were meant to be.  This was 4 pages with the story and art by Paul Gerrish. Color by Tom Luth. Edited by George Karalias.  I was pleased with the story and enjoyed the parody references.

The last interior page was a crossword puzzle.  The answers were displayed on the Company's web site. Good promotion there!

Inside back cover:  'The Trailing Edge' - 1 page story.  This was presented almost like the old text pages that used to be printed in older comics for mailing purposes. You gotta be my age or know the purposes of those pages to understand what I mean here...

Back Cover: Great Promo Page for Rochester Electronics!  If you didn't know what was going on here in this comic book before...Then now you knew!

I found this 1st issue to be a true 'promotional' comic book, like the older ones I've read in the past that were either one-shots or released sporadically.

This 1st issue was released January 2007, and #2 was released November of 2008.  But they are still 'timely' and a good promotional series!

BTW, I now have copies of these promotional comics in our online store. Both issues #1 & 2 separately, or together as a set. Just click here to see those listings for sale!
