Yo dude! Deaspace this week man!!! I can’t wait for this game, its going to be great! Do you think this could be better than Bioshock even? The new Silent Hill game looks sick as well, are you checking that out?

As far as Mercinaries goes, I thought it looked cool, but have been too busy to check it out, guess I wont now heh.

youseeme_us but the only online game I have is GTA4

Wolfy, are you planning on playing SOCOM? I’m probably going to be playing that nonstop after it comes out.

Hey. My PS3 name is MidnightSociety. But I haven’t been on in weeks. I’m going to get Fallout 3 and Fable 2 for 360 when they come out. My 360 tag is Grrargghh in case you have a 360.

Hey man, have you heard anything on this series, just came out called Roberts?

The preview for it sounds killer, so I dunno I might pick it up.

Ifanboy chose it as their pick of the week and did a mini video podcast for it here

Cool. I hear ya gott a make that dough. Hopefully sometime soon I can get a script to you so you can at least see something.

Right on man.Have you ever thought of getting into comics(probably a stupid question.)I like to see myself as an inspiring writer but finding an artist is tough. If you are ever considering make a go at it, and you ‘d be interested in a collabo, hit me up. I’ve got a Cthulhu Tale I’d like to pitch or even just for fun and practice. If interested I’ll be around here. HI rules.

Wolfy, I see that your a big fan of the Cthulhu mythos. I actually live in RI, right down the street where Love craft is buried. I’m actually thining about about going to do a grave rubbing of his tombstone and frame it. But I aslo noticed taht you say you are an artist. Do you have any work posted anywhere. i’d love to check it out. I’m guessing by your faves you like the horror. Do you draw horror/monsters?

Wolfy, what a great thread on Favorite Covers! That was fun!

I’m definitely going to pick up Welcome to Hoxford and ya man Templesmith’s art from what I’ve seen is I think some of his best work period. The concept also sounds pretty awesome as well.

As for anime, I used to be into it alot more than I am now; but ya, Animatrix and Vampire Hunter D were both fantastic.

My favorite stuff would half to be Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade, Berserk, and this new series called Ergo Proxy (dude YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS ONE!!!).

I tried to get into Spawn but damn man, wayyy too messed up for me lol. Definitely Check out Jin Roh and Berserk though man, really really fantastic stuff!

man i didn’t know they have THAT type of shit on youtube. I can’t go there anymore because i end up spending 3hrs + looking at scientology, conspiracy theoris, and a whole bunch of other distracting shit.

You’ll love it, FALL writer Michael Alan Nelson really killed it!

Best, -R

Awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words! If you love FALL, you’re really going to love where it all goes… If you’re interested in helping us out, drop an e-mail to Chip at cmosher@boom-studios.com, he’s on vacation but will be back on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, we’re having trouble getting THE GODFATHER out and GEARS has been completely canceled. But PULP TALES is awesome!

Best, -R

Yo dude, did you check out the first issue of Welcome to Hoxford? I took a look at some of the previews online and damn man this series looks like it will be INCREDIBLE! I dunno if you already got it, but I’m definitely thinking about checking it out.

dude i said “YOU should check out fantastic planet”. Damn Nation sounds crazy, haven’t read it yet. I picked up the Spawn animates DVDs at HMV a few months back for $4/ea. SCORE.

I did get the 1 issue of PBM that came out. But it got canceled/postponed.

Hi Wolfy, thanks for the tip on Northlanders. I definitely want to read the first issues. Have you enjoyed it?

By the way, saw a post you made about Arkham Asylum, decided to check it out, I’ve only gotten through the first issue so far, wow it’s pretty nuts…I love the backstory with the asylum though.

Dude, I just picked up the first trade of Wormwood, holy crap I definitely think this series is Templesmith’s best its Pure BADASS!!

PS3 nick is geekspeedracer. DMZ is great. I’ve been reading since #1.

yeah, I’ve meant to pick up the first trade I think from the first week I’ve been on HeavyInk. Read the first issue on imagecomics.com and liked it a lot but then it became unavailable on HI. Bummer. Might have to get it from indigo.ca (nice place for trades for Canadian customers btw)...

cool. Quebec can be a really cool city if you want to feel as if you’re visiting Europe without flying that far away. :) The Old Quebec area is highly recommended and this Summer, there are all sorts of special festivities for the 400th anniversary of the foundation of the city…

Blade runner is by far my favorite Sci-Fi movie. Logan’s Run is a classic. Other classics of some significance that go further back are “Forbidden Planet” and “Robinson Crusoe on Mars”. The genre is replete with greats. But, Ridley Scotts stab at perfection on Blade Runner is amazing… and the movie diverges quite a bit from Philip K. Dick’s book (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep). My favorite line from the movie was actually written by Rutger Hauer (Batty): “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” Sublime. And, the naming of Tannhäuser gate is choke full of historical reference. He was poet, Wagner wrote an opera something like Tannhäuser and Venus”. Again, can’t say enough about this movie. Then, it’s a very short hop to Philip K. Dick, one of my very favorite Sci-Fi authors… More of his work should be adapted to comics… Why not? Heh, heh. Go read a Scanner Darkly, the book is brilliant.

Gotta run.

Hooaaa! That was a cool show. Great fan-base. If I could sit folks down for 3 or 4 episodes, I could get them hooked. But, most of my friends just didn’t seem to get the show… “That show was weird”. Whaddayagonnado? Then the get into something like Stargate SG-1… The most non-sci-fi Sci-Fi program on TV… Maybe it me that’s weird.

hey Wolfy, thanks for the Terminator omnibus recommendation. Yeah, I subscribed to it mainly to pick the two issues that were part of the Painkiller crossover Jane but I ended up liking it. Was intrigued by the Omnibus books but had not clue what they really were about. I might want to check them out at some point.

I see, you’re from the great white north, whereabout? I live nearby Quebec City. I’m French Canadian first (hence the FrogMan nick, might as well make fun of it myself, heh ;) ) although I try to simply have a Canadian accent and not a French Canadian one. blech… :D

FoC is my favorite book right now. It’s different from Tales b/c it has ongoing storylines. It’s consistently creepy and well written…You could probably jump in whenever, but some threads have been set up since the start. And the book itself is about to change over to God War. If anything, you should snag a copy of The Fugue, which is the first collected volume. Great stuff that would make any Lovecraft fan happy. I couldn’t put the book down!

It’s an ongoing, but each arc isn’t really connected. It’s similar to Tales, but I honestly feel the story is much, MUCH better in Fall.

I’m actually really loving Northlanders, the protaginist reminds me alot of a videogame character Kratos from the God of War games. My favorite moments were probably everything in the 1st issue, the goat mask thing(totally nuts), and the flashback.

I think im going to stick it out and see where this arc at least goes to (I think it ends at #8). I’ve been cool about the slow pacing of the book, I actually think he pulls it off pretty well, but with the newest issue I was like “oh my god, how can you just stop it there…a whole damn month of waiting?

Hah, anyway I think it’s been solid stuff but depending on how this arc plays out, I might just trade wait it.

As far as the iceberg thing goes, hell ya dude, I’m calling it issue #8 is going to be off the wall gory and aweesome(the art by the way is awesome on this book).

Well, hmm? I have it on VHS. And, I finally found a DVD out on some obscure website… turns out someone out there burned the VHS to DVD. It’s a pirated copy and I wasn’t too happy about it. The thing we should do is write MTV productions, en masse, and ask them to release this on DVD. Crazier things have happened.

Again, the comics are the best—a big part for me, is Sam Kieth’s art.

Have you read the comic series? The cartoon was Issues #1 – #12. There are 36… or 6 Trades. Sam Kieth did the art. He is one of my favorite artists. He also did Batman Secrets, Batman/Lobo, some of the Sandman series… let’s see??? Ojo, Epicurus: The Sage, Zero Girl, Four Women. I love his Batman stuff, and Sandman was great all around. The Maxx though, that series is so full of angst, social pathos… it’s like unfolding and unraveling Julie’s and The Maxx’s psychosis as viewed from inside their own heads… It’s one of those series that is sort of like Jimi Hendrix… I get more out it each time I experience it.

Gotta run.

Space Opera is a sub-genre of sci-fi lit. Asimov’s Foundation/Robot universe and Dune being fine examples. Dan Simmons is an amazing writer who has done a Olympos/Illium series… it’s basically The Greeks in space… sort of (Illiad/Odyssey in an extraterrestial setting)... He has also wrote Hyperion, Endymion. There are lot more that I am not thinking of. Any subject involving space dramas, wars, empires, generations… that is the space opera realm… Star Wars fits nicely into that slot in both comics and film. Farscape, Babylon 5, Star Trek and for true camp and weird… The Lexx.

... Oh, and get a copy of “Batman: Arkham Aslyum”... Great story, great art (Dave McKean). Arkham Aslyum is the fiction insane asylum that HPL’s Father (?)... some relative ended up in actual location is somewhere near Salem, Mass.

Cool. I think you like it. If you have the recent Modern Library version, read the Forward by China Mieville. He discusses HPL’s racist views and fears laced throughout his writing – much the same way as they are represented on old Looney Tunes cartoons. It would seem that the 1st-half of the 20th century, though rid of slavery still embraced a cultural bias that was part of the pre-civil rights zeitgeist.

A lot of HPL’s short stories a variations on the same them or components in the Cthulhu Mythos. There are also many writes who write within the Mythos cannon. Creating a rich tapestry of this bizarre alternate “dream” world, much like the Maxx’s Pangaea, psychologically.

He also writes extensively of New England which if you live or travel there can see readily. You can build a vacation around HPL theme in New England…

Another comic that is (might be) in the HPL theme is Locke and Key. I have only read #1, so far, but is seemed to be heading that way. There are a couple of Trades you might want to check out, too: “Lovecraft” and “Haunter of the Dark”... and some cool movies from the mind of HPL or in the Mythos are “From Beyond” (cheezy B Movie), Re-Animator (Hilarious B Movie) and “Dagon” (this one actually can creep you out).

You’d think I did nothing else, but pursue HPL realms in all media. Not true… I am actually a sci-fi and Space Opera fancier. Anyway… nuff said for one night.

I haven’t followed Fall of Cthulhu, but I am interested in picking it up in Trades. I always felt the art work was a little shy. But, I like Cthulhu Tales so much and the art in them is such a mixed bag. If you really like H.P. Lovecraft’s work (1) you should just read his work… I just love his overstated bombastic Victorian vernacular… I laugh everytime I read something of his. But, in the comics world if you like HPL and the Cthulhu Mythos, I’d dig into Wormwood and all of Mignola’s stuff… Hellboy, Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, BPRD… Mignola definitely derives some inspiration from HPL… and Mignola is a better writer. The big, “BUT” is that you really should read HPL, his stuff is so cool. I highly recommend “At the Mountains of Madness” and “The Dream Quest of the Unknown Kadath”. These are two stories that are highly adaptable to the comic/GN medium. I’m not a copyright laywer or a decent artist, so all I can do is wish.

Hope you pursue and enjoy…

What I love about Pax Romana is that everything is so high conecpt, from interesting art (playing with symetrical and asymetrical layouts) to the dialogue and transcripts. I love the introduction for Chase’s team, and the scene between their miltary force and the roman soldiers was killer.

I’m definitely going to pick up the trade for Lobster Johnson, are you a fan of Hellboy as well? The writer puts so much out there, is there anything you consider must haves?

I like Hickman’s work, though I think Pax Romana has been his best so far. I found transhuman to be ok, though definitely not for its “humor”.

Hey man, how is Lobster Johnson? I’m thinking about picking up the trade, love the hellboy stuff! Is Dr. Fu Manchu in this one as well, it looked like it from the cover, and if thats the case I am so buying the book.

Deadspace sounds pretty cool, I love what I’ve seen of Brian Templesmith’s art on it. I have a xbox 360 btw, which I love, they should really do a Bioshock comic, that would be incredible!

Btw my gamertag is Silencedezgunz, and have you seen the animated version of Deadspace #1 on youtube, its pretty awesome!

Hey, How’s dead space been? I’m interested in the videogame coming out for it, and the comic looks pretty cool with templesmith on art.

Oh ya for best horror comic: 30 Days of Night
