SVK Oct28

SVK

SVK is a comic created by writer Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan), artist D’Israeli (2000 AD), and the design studio BERG.  SVK is described as an experimental comic because parts of the story are printed in ultraviolet (UV) ink.  Using the UV ink sounds like a gimmick but it really is...

Just A Thought | And Here&...

Remember last week when I mentioned that my next column would be all about an alternate X-Men universe? Yeah… well… it didn’t go as planned. Here’s the story. About two or three weeks ago, I get a brilliant idea for an upcoming column. With this new Age of X...

Just A Thought | Planetary...

Last week was a little bitter-sweet for me in terms of comics. I arrived to the comic shop to find the last trade of Planetary, waiting for me in my pull box. It was an excellent read but something interesting happened. After I had finished the trade, I was talking to my girlfriend Gen....

Just A Thought | When...

Earlier this week it was announced that Warner Brothers was proceeding with pre-pre-production on a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer film WITHOUT Joss Whedon. Given my love of the tv series and current comic series, my reaction of “Urgh!” is probably pretty predictable at this point. While...

Just a Thought | Vide...

I am dying to play the new Scott Pilgrim video game. Unfortunately I am an Xbox 360 owner (my tag is BCGrendel316 if you ever want to murder me in Halo) so I’ve got to wait a few weeks until it comes out for my system. In the case of Scott Pilgrim, a video game is just meant to be. ...

The Red Trailer reminds me...

The trailer for Red, about retired CIA operatives who don’t stay retired long, has hit Yahoo!, and it destroyed my initial thought that being bad-ass and sexy ends at 42. Based on the Comic Book by King of All Things Fringe and Perverted Warren Ellis, Red stars Helen Mirren, Bruce...

Norman Osborn: Worst of th...

The first issue of Siege has come out and it’s not too bad. The fact that it’s only four issues means that this could be the most compressed storytelling that writer Brian Michael Bendis has ever given us. Bendis is a tremendous writer; he specializes in portraying intimate moments...

Just A Thought: Unfinished...

I am a huge fan of movies. I’m also a big fan of movie history and trivia and love hearing about projects that disspapeared or never quite got finished. Movies like The Fountain. Sure it did finally get made but originally Brad Pitt was supposed to star. Mad Max 4 which was going to...

Dear Warren Ellis, Will Th...

Warren Ellis comics can basically be summed up with the word ‘awesome‘ – they’re always thought provoking, with some sort of quasi fantastical in the real world setting, showcase some sort of fringe science and have characters who talk about how bad the coffee is....

Why I Love Comics: Danijel...

Danijel Zezelj doesn’t draw comics so much as he chisels with ink. His style is one that can be a little bracing at first; heavy blacks and thick lines dominate his work and gives the impression of – for lack of a better description – a low budget shakey-cam style. Warren...
