BW’s Worldbuilding Project Day 9: Establishing Shot

Jake & Leon #352: Preemption

Trust me, it was that bad.

I’m still going to do it but I need time to draw it properly within my current skills and I don’t have it lately. Between the Worldbuilding Project and life I don’t have enough drawing time I’m afraid. Plus I’m hoping to get the next BW Panelling done this week.

Also this week I’ll be concluding my look at Superman/Doomsday: Hunter/Prey and doing another installment of the He-Man newspaper comics. If I can I’d like to get another Finally Watched installment done, but I’m not sure if that will happen. We’ll see how the week goes.

Saturday Night Showcase: Visionaries – Knights Of The Magical Light

In the comments of my last Transformers comic review my friend Sean mentioned that IDW and Hasbro are bringing the Visionaries toyline to their Hasbro Comic Universe. I don’t know what the new history is (we’ve seen them alter MASK enough that the old story is probably gone) and since I was never a big fan of the show or toyline (despite my favorite movie being a fantasy and growing up with Masters Of The Universe I rarely enter the genre) I don’t really care. But for you nostalgia lovers out there this week’s Showcase should be welcome.

So come with us to the planet Prysmos, who joins Skalorr and Symbion in the list of post-apocalyptic alien worlds, where science is dead and magic is the order of the day. The toyline used lenticular holograms to showcase their magical power and those of the vehicles. Star Comics produced a short-lived series and a cartoon by Sunbow and TMS was also produced, which only lasted one season since the toyline they were based on did not succeed. Tonight we’ll look at the first episode to give you an idea what the original series was about and those of you with interest in the IDW comics can compare if they got it right or if it’s another MASK, which was a good comic but a terrible adaptation.

BW’s Worldbuilding Project Day 8: Sketching Locations

Friday Night Fights: An Unlikely Team-Up

I didn’t get a Worldbuilding Project post done last night in case you’re curious. It’s like someone learned how busy my February plans were and decided to drop everything in my lap this month.

Superman and Darkseid are not what you’d call friends. In some continuities Darkseid is the only villain Superman would even consider killing. However, Superman is concerned for all innocents and that includes the worshipers of Darkseid on Apokolips, so there would have to be someone who somehow would treat them even worse than Darkseid. That someone would be Hank Henshaw, the “Cyborg Superman”, who just wants to create his warworld and kill everyone he can. I’d call that worse.

SMACK! round 2
