SDCC #SDCC2024 #2024SDCC: The Night When Dreams You Didn’t Know You Had Came True :)
So I actually have lived long enough to see the below’s first five seconds in real life!
JULY 28th UPDATE: https://comicbook.com/movies/news/comic-con-sdcc-2024-fantastic-four-galactus-first-look-revealed/
Asante Sana, Faith Ringgold
The Origin Of The (#NorrinRadd) #SilverSurfer
Since my favorite fantasy character (along with Galactus) has been in the news lately, I thought I’d share…..
Asante Sana, #MilestoneMedia Artist Mark (M.D.) Bright, 69
This is truly sad news. He was the artist for Icon, who, despite being a conservative in his first incarnation, was perhaps my favorite Milestone superhero!
Here are some obits and here is his Wiki.
“X-Men ’97” Official Trailer
I remember so clearly when this was “sneak-peek”ed in the fall 1992. It feels like a lifetime ago: I had just started grad school. It was on #FoxKids, home of #BatmanTheAnimatedSeries. I hadn’t read a X-Men comic since 1985 so I didn’t know half the team’s members. I quickly learned and for much of the ’90s dopamine instantly flooded my insides whenever I heard the words, “Previously, on ‘X-Men’….” So, #MarvelEntertainment #MarvelEnterprises, please air these *in order* this time? An advance THANKS!
MARCH 25th UPDATE: WOW, WOW, WOW! What a debut!
“Rogers: The Musical”
I’m shocked at how this sly, goofy Hamilton homage really hits the mark!
JUNE 9, 2024 UPDATE:
“Meanwhile, At The Hall of Justice….” Fifty Years Ago Today……
(JULY 13th, 2025 INSERT:
)
(AUGUST 3, 2025 INSERT:
)
…..Saturday mornings on ABC became appointment television for millions of 1970s children across America. (All this and Scooby-Doo and Schoolhouse Rock, too!)
🙂
Oh, an important societal note:
If you want to see a 1973 future-forecast prediction of Amazon.com, streaming services allowing people to stay home, etc., please find and watch all of the first-season episode “Professor Goodfellow’s G.E.E.C.” Two small excerpts:
My Novel’s First Draft: Labors End, Labors Begin
So that’s what writing a rough draft of a novel is like!
Mine was easy since my novel is 80 percent true!
So I learned that all the fiction-writing stereotypes are true.
- You do get ideas when you’re trying to go to sleep.
- The characters do talk to you in your head until you write down what they are saying and/or doing.
- It does take as much time as you give it.
- It is true that the reader doesn’t have to know the whole history and background of your characters, but you do.
- You do miss your characters when you are done and it is a good idea to jump right into another project–as in “meeting someone new.” 🙂
- It does take a certain stamina and commitment to finish–particularly when you realize it’s just a first draft. (I haven’t run it through the AI yet.)
Marvel Studios’ The Marvels | Teaser Trailer
Just the trailer makes me want to see this team in its own movie trilogy! And I love this choice from The Beasties!
SEPTEMBER 14th UPDATE:
Drums in the Global Village
