#KRYPTON | Blood - Teaser Trailer | SYFY

People like the bonkers non-sensical prequel/Elseworld show Gotham? Were kid-Bruce Wayne and kid-Catwoman are put aside to let young-Gordon face future villains arrived way too early like Hugo Strange, Mister Freeze, The Penguin or even a kid-Poison Ivy-turned adult-turned into another random actress later?

Well, now they will be doing the same to Superman with Krypton! A prequel series about Kal-El's family before Krypton exploded. But wait, that would be a pretty boring political drama on an alien planet. So of course we're gonna end up seeing the House of El face future villains like Brainiac, I'm sure. Maybe even the likes of Metallo, Doomsday and more! And they will be joined by Adam Strange arrived way too early on a different planet from Rann for no reason, other than the fact the CW's not using him right now.

Check this out:






I might check out just the pilot to see how bad it is, but I'm not expecting much from goddamn' David Goyer (Yes, Blade 3-David Goyer...)

#NerdTalk - GUARDIANS of Two Worlds

I cant believe Marvel did this whole "Man of Two Worlds" thing on film before DC Comics/Warner Bros were even able to ever try any movies outisde of Batman and Superman!

And yeah, I know, there was that... errr... "Green Lantern" film (not even mentioning that awful Catwoman attempt, which doesn't count since it's basically a Batman spinoff).

#Drawing - Beware the Jabberwock!

And because I'm a big Adam Strange fan and I absolutely adore his Assassin's Creed-esque take on Young Justice...

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun, the frumious Bandersnatch!”

His last name is Strange

Once more, Adam Strange is confronted with some more Strange Adventures, this time again under Jim Starlin's pen.

Last time, it seemed the Rann–Thanagar War was once and for all over...or was it really?

Outcast Studios - LIVE DRAW NIGHT March 2012

http://outcaststudios.com/forums/

It's that time again...

This Sunday night was held another one of our usual LIVE DRAW NIGHT drawing jams at the Outcast forums.
Our quarterly Jam session featuring 4 hours of non-stop drawing.
As before, I kept my Twitter account updated all the way through the challenge.

It was fun, it was crazy, lots of neat fun art were produced by all who entered the jam!
Here's my usual blog-recap of the evening.
You can have a look at my past entries in these following posts:
- LDN February 2011
- LDN May 2011
- LDN September 2011
- LDN December 2011

Let's dig into these drawings produced by yours truly, shall we?

CBR Countdown to Adventure

 

And we're back with the Man of Two Worlds, Adam Strange!

This one's a continuation of both the space opera-crossover of the DC Universe The Rann–Thanagar War as well as a direct sequel to DC's year-long epic storyline 52.

Building up upon both stories, it teams-up everyone's favorite space-based adventurer with Animal Man and Starfire from the Teen Titans.
The trio had formed a friendship over the past stories.

This book is also a tie-in and one of these stories building up their events Infinite Crisis and Countdown - took you can skip both of these if you're not a big fan of these kind of comic books.

Time for some more Mystery in Space!!

Rann–Thanagar War was a direct sequel to Planet Heist.
It was one of the stories DC released as part of the hype to build up yet another event called Infinite Crisis (alongside Villains United, OMAC Project and Day of Vengeance).

I usually tend to avoid big epic crossovers and mega-events (if they're not Green Lantern related or assigned to way too many authors to be properly coordinated)...but being the first, and only Adam Strange centric one, this was a must read for scifi comics fans.

At least..that's what I thought.
Surely a mini-event following a mini-series, both leading into another bigger event cannot be that bad...can it?

And we're back with Adam Strange!

Such a seriously underused but fun and original character!

You saw him in his first modern, if more serious, mini-series:
- Adam Strange: Man of Two Worlds
And kicking ass in pure pulp retro fashion in:
- DC Comics Presents: Mystery in Space
Finally, in the 2000s, DC gave him his long overdue modern re-interpretation, an all-new story and sequel of sorts to Man of Two Worlds!

CBR DC Comics Presents: Mystery in Space

 

This one shot was done for a very specific reason.
In 2004 a new line of DC Comics Presents were published, each celebrating the legacy of Julius Schwartz who died recently. Julie Schwartz had been one of the forces behind the DC since decades, and had also been one of DC's best editor-in-chief.
As a tribute to the big man he was, DC had a group of artists and writers come up with new stories the Schwartz-way. He used to commission covers from artist and have creative teams in on-going books improvise whole tales from it.
So to make the man proud, DC had some old covers of Batman, Green Lantern, The Atom and others redrawn and new stories made from scratch based on those.

Since Adam Strange's been jetpacking around my blog lately...

Here's a great cosplayer who perfectly channeled the retro "pulp-ysh" pin-up look of Alanna Strange!

I love science fiction.
Space opera, scifi epic, you name it.
I've always been more of a scifi-guy than a fantasy buff. I like seeing stories featuring crazy technology, distant planets, aliens cultures....
