#Mindpickd: Top 10 Comics-Nov. 25

2012-01-25T19:53:00.000-05:00

As usual, every week I’ll be appearing on the PowWow Show of SoFloRadio.com, geeking out on the live radio show with the hosts Luis Amado and Jo Daddy live at 9pm, every Wednesday night, where we will be talking about the week’s new #MINDPICKD comics (or the new comics that you should be reading this week).

Seems like a light hit this week in comics, Thank God! Even though it’s a light week, there’s still some heavy hitters to get excited for. There’s a nice mix of Marvel, DC Comics, and Zenescope Entertainment makes the list this week. We have some heavy hitting writers going this week. We get Scott Snyder, Geoff Johns, and a extremely busy Jonathan Hickman this week, I’m sure entertainment will be at an all time high this week, so let’s get into it.

10. Grimm Fairy Tales: Alice In Wonderland #1

If Walt Disney was influenced by strip clubs, then you would get the wonderful world of Grimms Fairy Tales from Zenescope. Think of Halloween downtown chockfull of scantily clad Fairy Tale characters and there you would get this week’s new GFT: Alice In Wonderland #1. Follow the white rabbit down a world of madness in this new ongoing title.

Grimm Fairy Tales: Alice In Wonderland #1 (MR) B Cvr Ebas

(W) Raven Gregory (A) TBD (CA) Ebas

Decades ago, a girl named Alice was sacrificed into the horror-filled realm of Wonderland but her terrifying and awe-inspiring experiences there have been shrouded in mystery. The one thing known is that her time spent in a world full of insanity left her a broken adult. However, her courageous will to survive is what ultimately saved humanity. Now the story of Alice's visit into Wonderland is fully revealed and the truth of the terror will be told in full! From Raven Gregory, Ralph Tedesco and Joe Brusha, the same minds behind Grimm Fairy Tales and Return To Wonderland comes the newest series that Zenescope fans have been waiting for. What every Zenescope fan has been waiting for is finally here! Follow Zenescope back down the rabbit hole and find a world of madness like you have never seen before!

Bob Anderson Dead: Sword-Master, Darth Vader Fighter Dies At 89

2012-01-02T11:42:00.001-05:00

LONDON — Olympic fencer and movie sword master Bob Anderson appeared in some of film's most famous dueling scenes – though few viewers knew it.
Anderson, who has died at age 89, donned Darth Vader's black helmet and fought light saber battles in two of the three original "Star Wars" films, "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi."
Anderson, who worked with actors from Errol Flynn to Antonio Banderas during five decades as a sword master, fight director and stunt performer, died early New Year's Day at an English hospital, the British Academy of Fencing said Monday.
Vader, "Star Wars'" intergalactic arch-villain, was voiced by James Earl Jones and played by six foot six (1.98 meter) former weightlifter David Prowse, but Anderson stepped in during the key fight scenes.
"David Prowse wasn't very good with a sword and Bob couldn't get him to do the moves," said Anderson's former assistant, Leon Hill. "Fortunately Bob could just don the costume and do it himself."
The scenes worked beautifully, although Anderson, then nearing 60, was several inches shorter than Prowse. Rest in Peace Mr. Anderson, May the Force Be With You...

Re-Coloring X-Men #1

Thomas Mason creates a special new edition of this Chris Claremont and Jim Lee classic on its 20th anniversary

Posted Jul 22, 2011 12:52 pm

Updated Jul 27, 2011 4:14 pm

By Chris Arrant
2011 marks the 20^th anniversary of X-MEN #1 by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee, hailed by Guinness World Records as the best-selling comic book of all time, and Marvel has something special planned for the occasion.

X-MEN #1 cover by Jim Lee, re-colored by Thomas Mason

The seminal issue receives a modern-day tune-up with an elaborate re-coloring job by expert colorist Thomas Mason this October. A colorist in the industry for the past nine years, Mason has gained the unique skill of re-coloring classic comic art as seen in the recent SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK collection as well as various Marvel Essentials as of late. An avowed fan of X-MEN #1 artist Jim Lee, the chance for Mason to re-color the entire issue of X-MEN #1 had been something he’d wanted to do for years.
“I owe it all to Senior Editor Jeff Youngquist of Marvel’s Collected Editions department,” acknowledges Mason. “I’ve been re-coloring old covers for him for a couple of years now, and early last year he was putting together the hardcover edition of X-MEN: MUTANT GENESIS and he asked me to do the cover. When I got the e-mail and opened it up I got all giddy inside—it was the Magneto part of the gatefold cover to X-MEN #1!
“After I turned the five-part cover in, I mentioned that 2011 would be the 20th anniversary and it would be cool to re-color the whole book, but it wasn't something we actually discussed at that time. Then earlier this year he had sent me a couple more Jim Lee covers to re-color and I asked him then if I could [work on] X-MEN #1 as a pet project. Once I let him see a couple pages, he really liked what I had done and pushed to get this approved for print and here we are!”

Thomas Mason's re-coloring process

Given the pivotal nature of X-MEN #1 in the larger scheme of modern comics history, going back to improve on such an iconic issue proved intimidating.
“One part of me is all fanboy about the chance to color the X-MEN and Jim Lee because I've always been a big fan of both so that part is exciting,” says Mason. “The other part of me has to keep reminding myself that this is X-MEN #1, the biggest selling comic of all time! Hopefully when it's all said and done the fans feel like I did the book justice and reacquainted them with an old friend who just got a makeover.”
Although Marvel maintains an extensive archive of publications through time as seen in the numerous Essential volumes released each year, when it came time for Mason to re-color X-MEN #1, he found the files sadly incomplete.
“Unfortunately after 20 years Marvel only had the original color files so I had my representative Terry Maltos contact the guy who actually owns all of the original artwork for X-MEN #1 and we tried to get new scans,” he explains. “It didn't work out so I had to take the line-art out of the original color files in order for me to set them up for my friend Rex Stabbs and my daughter Tori to start flatting for me. The advantage of having the original color files to go by is if I'm unsure what something is or just want to see how it looked before I can just open it up and it's a nice guide to have.”

X-MEN #1 interior art by Jim Lee, re-colored by Thomas Mason

With the original X-MEN #1 colored in the infancy of computer coloring for comics, the subsequent 20 years of innovation proved invaluable for Mason on this project.
“The technology has certainly come a long way in 20 years and we aren't as limited by what we can do,” he notes. “I really like doing effects so for me one of the things I wanted to do is to add the bells and whistles that couldn't be done 20 years ago whether it's Magneto's reflection in a glass helmet, Jean Grey's reflection in a mirror or making the computer screens have that modern tech feel to them; basically whatever I can do to spruce things up a bit I'm gonna do. Another thing I did was not have the gutters on the pages white. In the original book all of the pages had white gutters but I have always thought that colors stand out better on a black or colored page as opposed to a white page so there won't be any white gutters in this book and I think it helps sell the cinematic feel of Jim's artwork.”
Mason also tracked down the book’s original colorist, Joe Rosas, who worked from the mid-80’s all the way to the early 2000’s, becoming one of Marvel’s most prolific colorists during the period.
“Whether it's this book or one of the old covers I've had the privilege to re-color, I always try to stay true to the original colors and just give them an upgrade,” Mason says. “There are times when I do change things up if I feel it helps or if I just want to put my own spin on things, but for the most part I do try to compliment what's been done before. Joe Rosas did an amazing job 20 years ago so I really want to take what he did to the next level. Every time I re-color something I always worried I was maybe stepping on the toes of the original colorists and I never want to disrespect anyone in that way. I met Joe on Facebook and he saw my colors to the cover for X-MEN #1 and some of these pages and he has been very supportive of me doing this and essentially gave his blessing for me to do my own thing on this book; that was a huge honor and big relief to know he was behind me on this.”

Even with both modern technology and the book’s original colorist on his side, Mason admits this unique project had its hurdles.
“So far I'd have to say the trickiest thing has been trying to balance the old with the new,” says the colorist. “When I first started coloring this I was posting some of the pages on Facebook and someone pointed out that the zipatone was ‘outdated’ and I should take it out. I went back and forth about it because I didn't want to mess with the original artwork and so I got a lot of feedback and almost everyone agreed the zipatone had to go in order to keep the modern feel. For example, on page 11 when Wolverine, Psylocke and Gambit are in the sewer, the water had a lot of zipatone in it so it was taken out. I would definitely say that balancing how many changes to make to give it that modern feel and yet keep as much of the original as possible has been a challenge but certainly worth it.”
Although Mason has made a name for himself as a colorist specializing in revitalizing older comics, the size and stature of the X-MEN #1 project made this a challenge. But given Mason’s professionalism as well as his admiration for Jim Lee’s work on this book, it worked to his advantage.

X-MEN #1 interior art by Jim Lee, re-colored by Thomas Mason

“This is the first full book I've done of his but I've done several covers now and I love Jim's art,” Mason says. “I originally wanted to be a penciler and Jim is definitely one of the guys I always looked up to. His art is just beautiful and the fact that 20 years later it still holds up is a testament to how good he really is. As a colorist who is also a fan there is that desire to make one of your idols proud and it really makes you step your game up to the highest level you can.”

DC UNIVERSE ONLINE FREE

2011-09-19T15:11:00.007-04:00

DC UNIVERSE ONLINE GOES FREE-TO-PLAY IN OCTOBER...

September 19, 2011 – Sony Online Entertainment LLC (SOE) today announced a new free-to-play business model for its popular massively multiplayer online (MMO) game DC Universe Online (DCUO) — where players have the freedom to become legendary fighting alongside DC Comics icons like Superman, Batman and The Joker in an ever-evolving online action adventure that has already logged more than 42 million hours of super-powered gameplay action by players since its launch earlier this year.

Beginning late October, players will be able to download and access DCUO for free on both the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC. As part of this transition, SOE is introducing three new access levels to the game: Free, Premium and Legendary. All three levels will provide access to open world gameplay and missions, general game updates and fixes to the game, with each level offering different game options and benefits.

More information on the DCUO free-to-play access levels can be found here: http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/free/ .

DC Comics to release on iPad and in print simultaneously

Reports are flooding the web that DC Comics is planning to release digital versions of comics the same day as the print counterpart. This is definitely great news for comic lovers, and it’s also the first time a comic book publisher has done this.
DC Comics has an application in the App Store, but the only way to access a comic is to buy an issue individually. However, this will surely change with Apple’s new in-app subscription policy. What’s more, pair the new subscriptions with DC’s “Day and Date Digital,” and this is a match made in heaven. It’s basically like getting the newspaper delivered to your door every day, except it’s a comic not a newspaper, and it’s your iPad instead of a door.
I personally don’t ready comic books, but I am definitely looking forward to see how this new distribution system will play a part in other digital publications. How do you guys feel about this? Are you pumped that you’ll be able to get your comics on your iPad as soon as they’re released, or do you want to have the paper edition, ya know… for your collection? Let me know on twitter or in the comments down below.
