“The Stand” as a graphic novel

The Stand

Creepy, isn't it?

Until Free Comic Book Day I had no idea that Stephen King’s “The Stand” had been put into illustrated form. Yet as I wandered around the comic-filled boxes on the sidewalk tables I saw one particular comic on a table marked “Free” that I couldn’t resist picking up.

It was an issue from the “Soul Survivors” chapter of “The Stand” graphic novel.

Elf as Mara Jade

Ah, Free Comic Book Day. The first Saturday in May that many geeks eagerly anticipate. The past few years I’ve been working on that most awesome of days but this year I happened to be free and ended up working with folks from a local geek convention (Geek Media Expo) to do some promoting at one of the Nashville comic stores.

Just in my hands – “The Molting” Chapter 6 by Terrance Zdunich

The Molting

My copy of The Molting, chp 6!

Yesterday my rather unhappy mood was suddenly brightened when I made it home after work by the sight of a package in my mailbox. I didn’t have to open it to know what it was. I’d been waiting for this to arrive for almost two weeks.

It was volume 6 of the graphic novel “The Molting” by Terrance Zdunich. It’s hard to believe that it was a year and a half ago that I read the first issue and was hooked. Since then I’ve eagerly awaited each issue and nabbed two copies each time, one for myself and one for my friend, Amanda. As each new issue makes it into my eager paws I have to revise which one might be my favorite. Chapter 6, “Allied Forces” might have just kicked its way to the top.

If you haven’t read this issue you might want to stop here until you do as there be spoilers ahead!

New Captain America Trailer

Yes, you heard right. The first full-length trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger has been released by Marvel, and I’ve gotta say that it’s looking mighty slick. Aside from that 30-second Superbowl spot, there hasn’t been a whole lot of actual footage, just a bunch of stills from the set. But tonight, the first theatrical trailer has been released on Youtube for all the world to see. Hit the jump for the video and my impressions.

New Thor Trailer: Now With 50% More Awesome

New Thor trailer’s out, and it’s shaping up pretty well. Y’know, folks, I had my doubts. I was never the biggest Thor fan, and the first couple of trailers seemed okay, nothing special. I understood why the movie was necessary, since Thor’s a pretty key member to start off the Avengers, but I was always under the impression that this was bound to be the weakest film of the bunch. Now, I have hope. This trailer is a bit more plot-heavy than the past couple have been, so if you’re trying to avoid all story-related things in favor of experiencing them for the first time in the theater, then more power to you. For the rest of us, hit the link to watch the fresh trailer, and share your thoughts on it in the comments!
Thor will be releasing in US theaters on May 6th.
