Back to the Future

Back To The Future is a popular movie trilogy that spawned video games, a Saturday Morning cartoon on CBS and later FOX, and even an amusement park ride at Universal Studios. Now the creator, Bob Gale, will be teaming with IDW to bring the franchise to comics. In this interview with Previews World, Gale drops a few behind-the-scenes info from the movies you might not have known about and discusses bringing the series to comics. A quick bit of research shows this is the second time there has been a Back To The Future comic, the other a Harvey-published tie-in to the cartoon.

Jake & Leon #257: Brought To You By The Letters HBO

No matter who you root for, would you really want to hang out with either kingdom?

No matter who you root for, would you really want to hang out with either kingdom?

Sure, you love Peter Dinklage on Game Of Thrones but is Tyrion Lannister, or anybody else from that show, somebody you’d want to hang out with? I don’t know anything about True Detective, another show I’ve seen used to make jokes about Sesame Street on HBO, but cable cop shows tend to be more The Shield than Rizzoli & Isles. My mom used to love the latter show but I don’t recall seeing her watch the former.

So I screwed up last week. I thought I had reviewed the final issue of Star Wars: Shadows Of The Empire – Evolution but it wasn’t until late the next day that I found out I hadn’t. So that review will be coming this week, ending the original trilogy time period. Meanwhile, I posted my recent review of the A New Hope adaptation reprint over to The Clutter Reports. We’re also done with Magic Knight Rayearth until I go through the anime (I have season one on DVD and both seasons are up on Hulu subbed and dubbed.) I think this week I’m going to try to complete the Chapter By Chapter of The Black Stallion’s Ghost. I really want to get to the next book and this just isn’t exciting me. There are three chapters left and this will give me time to catch up on video work, and will give me something to review over at The Clutter Reports, where I usually do the wrap-up book report. We’ll then take a break from novel reviewing until September and start the next book.

I also have some new article ideas that I hinted at on Patreon that will help me practice my art and story creating skills so I’m hoping to debut at least one of those this month, as well as pilot a video series that will be easy to throw together when I need it. We’ll see what time allows. Time’s kind of a jerk sometimes.

A Taste Of Art Fight (Brass City 2015)

Brass City Comic Convention logo

The last of the videos from this year’s Brass City Comic Con is the Art Fight. Every year Free Lunch Comics hosts the event, pitting two artists head-to-head. They have one minute to draw a suggestion from the audience. This is different from ConnectiCon’s SUPER Art Fight. There are no characters and no Wheel Of Death. I didn’t get the whole thing but I did manage to get a few of the matches.

Animated Groot Origin

Guardians Of The Galaxy poster

The backstories of the animated version of Guardians Of The Galaxy continues, and for some reason it’s still in two parts. This time, it’s the origin of Groot, the tree-man who can only tell you who he is. So Rocket is telling this story.
