If you've been keeping up with my Twitter updates, or if you just look at the sidebar with the NaNoWriMo calendar (if you can't see said calendar, click on the banner at the top of this page and it'll take you back to the main page), you already know that…
Marvel Now!
As many readers may be aware, Marvel Comics is in the midst of a semi-relaunch. In the wake of Avengers vs. X-Men, several books have been restarted and the Marvel Universe as a whole is in a different place. This has seen a lot of shuffling of creative teams. What I…
NaNoWriMo
I mentioned in a previous post that I'd been thinking lately about one of my favorite books, Frankenstein, and how that got me thinking about the monster. He's always been one of my favorite characters in literature, and although I've enjoyed Karloff's interpretation as slow and monosyllabic at best, I prefer…
Monsters everywhere!
I've got two pieces of news for you today. The first is that Pro Se Productions has just released a new book in time for Halloween, called Monster Aces! Here is the description from Pro Se: Having selflessly abandoned their identities, their pasts and their futures, the Monster Aces are all…

Sentinels: A Distant Star
I absolutely loved Van Allen Plexico's first Sentinels book, When Strikes The Warlord. So much, in fact, that once I finished, I immediately bought the second book, A Distant Star. These two books, along with Apocalypse Rising, form the first Sentinels trilogy, "The Grand Design." In this volume, we see the return of…
What’s in a name? Musings on Frankenstein’s Monster
Halloween is coming around, and as is usually the case, that means I'm watching far more horror movies than I would under normal circumstances. Among those I've watched lately are two recent adaptations of one of my favorite books, Frankenstein. Both shared the same title as the novel and both were…
Pro Se Promo Party!
This is a really exciting New Pulp development! Pro Se Productions and Shindig are teaming up to host a massive event, spotlighting every single aspect of Pro Se! Tons of creators will be taking part in this event, and I encourage everyone to check it out! I was invited to…
Casting Call #3: Christian Pierce
It's been a long time since I've done one of these, but Alias has now been added to Netflix and I've started to watch it. I saw about half of the first season, but then ended up missing the rest. Anyway, I've started watching it again and I started paying more…
