Psst...Do you want free books?
Ever since The Avengers proved to not only be a massive financial success, but also a textbook example of how to do a superhero film right, Warner Bros. has been extremely antsy about bringing the DC Universe to cinematic life to compete with Disney and Marvel. But it's been met with…
The nominations for the Pulp Ark Awards of 2013 have now come to a close. If you sent in your nominations by the deadline, you should have received an e-mail from Tommy Hancock with the final ballot. Make sure you send in your votes! Please note that only those who participated in…
My first introduction to UltraViolet came through Vudu. Before I picked up my Apple TV, I would often use Vudu to rent digital movies and watch them through my PS3. Once, while searching through new rentals on Vudu's site, they advertised a program called Disc-to-Digital. I read into it out…
Yesterday, I passed the 25K mark on SoulQuest, so I've hit the middle of my 50K goal. Crossing the 50% mark on a project is both exciting and scary and it's when I enter what I like to call the Muddling Middle. On every project, when I hit the 50% mark,…
They say that the only certainties in life are death and taxes, but I've got a third certainty: a Derrick Ferguson Dillon yarn will always be spectacular. I'm no stranger to Ferguson's writing or the world of Dillon. I was both fortunate and unfortunate enough to jump onboard when the…
So the Internet is all a-buzz right now with the big revelation from Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man #700, written by Dan Slott. This issue ends Amazing Spider-Man and Superior Spider-Man #1 will be released next month. It’s even earned Slott death threats. Seriously? Grow up, people. I don’t care how bad the story is (and it’s pretty bad), but at the end of the day it’s still just a fucking comic book.
First off, if you plan on buying this issue and haven’t yet, then I’d like to save you some money and time by advising you not to. Seriously, just don’t do it. Especially for the price Marvel is charging (¥700 on my Marvel Comics iPhone app).
Second, if you’re a glutton for punishment and still want to buy the issue, then you should probably stop reading right now. Because otherwise, I will spoil the ending for you.
In other words, spoilers follow, so turn away now.Continue reading →
I frequently have random thoughts. It will come as no surprise to anyone that I'm a big fan of comic books. I grew up on them. I still read them. The desire to write my favorite comic books is what led to me becoming a writer. I also grew up…
I was tagged in this game by Mark Bousquet earlier this month (which shows you how off my memory can be as I just remembered). The Next Big Thing is a little game where you answer ten interview questions about your upcoming project and then tag five writers in it. For…
As you can tell from the recent announcement, the nominations for the Pulp Ark Awards of 2013 are now open. Nominations can be sent to Tommy Hancock (proseproductions@earthlink.net), and voting will take place until February 15th, 5 PM Central Standard Time. I've included the categories below and what I can…
The life cycles of my projects can be really funny sometimes, and also a bit bizarre. For example, the project that would eventually become Love & Bullets, my third novel, was actually begun before I even sat down to write my first novel, Fallen. And The Myth Hunter may actually predate both of…
