The White Rabbit is sent on a desperate mission to locate Alice and return her to the realm of Wonderland to fight as the White Queen’s champion and restore peace to the kingdom.
What are superheroes like when they take off their masks and drop their “heroic” persona? It is a common theme found in many comic books today. In fact, some books are based solely around this question, and they all have varying degrees of success. One of the more noteworthy examples of this is the 1987 run of Justice League (International), created by the living legend Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis. In it, the comic showed the reader the politics, the in-fighting, and ultimately the humor that is unleashed behind closed JL headquarters’ doors. Sounds like a great sitcom, right? That's exactly what CBS thought.
I have been made aware that many humans also enjoy the Joss Whedon approved series, so I’ve been kind to Matthew and Stephen this week, and asked them to spill the beans. I’ve even allowed them to skip a day so they could prepare for the awesome sauce that is Buffy.
Prometheus does the unforgivable, and the Justice League is forced to do the unthinkable... Our question is, which crime is worse?
I have always been amazed at how isolated tabletop gaming groups can be. Since I started role playing I have met people who have never played anything other than second edition D&D, likewise I've seen groups who play Vampire LARP exclusively. There is very little in the way of a unifying culture for gamers, whereas every sci-fi enthusiast has probably seen an episode of Star Trek there are gamers who have never played a game of Dungeons & Dragons. This, in and of itself, is not an issue, the problem is that, as with all isolated pockets of society, myths and stigmas begin to develop. The kids playing Paranoia think D&D is too simplistic, the kids playing D&D think the guys playing World of Darkness are pretentious, and nobody understands what the hell the Nobilis kids are doing. So in an effort to combat gamer bias I'd like to tell you about some of the games that are out there, waiting to take you to brand new experiences.
We return to the Halls of T.H.U.N.D.E.R., and try not to blink so as not to miss the life and times of LIGHTNING!
Josh Howard has been pretty busy during this holiday season. First he posted image after image of Sci-Fi and comic related women at his site (they rock by the way), now he has posted a three page preview of The Lost Book of Eve. Art wise, it looks very good. There is no dialogue, so I have no idea how good the story is.
Check the preview pages out for yourself over at Josh’s site.
