Chapter By Chapter: Total Recall adaptation Ch. 24

Chapter by Chapter features me reading one chapter of the selected book at the time and reviewing it as if I were a reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as read-along book club.

When we last left our heroes they had lost everything they had…except their minds. Is that going to change this chapter?

Morning Article Link: Mairghead Scott interviewed

Couldn't decide between Dinobots breaking through the wall or Ultra Magnus' line. Luckily they're on the same page.

Couldn’t decide between Dinobots breaking through the wall or Ultra Magnus’ line. Luckily they’re on the same page.

I’ve given Mairghead Scott a lot of praise for her work on the Prime universe Transformers titles. Now, as she heads to the main IDW universe, which I’ve been less than happy with, to come up with a better explanation for female Transformers than “forced sex change”, we have this interview as part of Comics Alliance’s “Hire This Woman” series. The series focuses on female comic creators who are good enough to get a job at the big comics. Except IDW is one of the bigger companies now and she’s written the GOOD Transformers stories at IDW.

BW At The Press Junket: Doug Walker

BW At The Press Junket logo

It’s new video article series time. “BW At The Press Junket” is a series of recording at the ConnectiCon press junket…and any others I may end up at in the future. In our first installment, it’s Doug Walker. Mostly because I was late and missed anyone before him, including a woman who later joined him at a panel I may not be able to show you if the footage is as bad as I think it will be.

Also of note is the intro. I did it myself and while it isn’t the awesomest thing EVARS!!!!! it was still something I wouldn’t have been capable of before and shows some advancement on my part. And that’s what counts, so I’m rather proud of something even this complex because I couldn’t before. Hope you like it. (Or at least be gentle. 😀 )
