With a Nexus back-up strip looking more and more likely,it might also be good promotion for Baron's own Nexus novel, being crowdfunded on Kickstarter. ![]() Bleeding Cool confirmed he was forming a new publisher with Dixon, called Destination Comics, but there has been no further sign of that. He self-published the graphic novel, and followed up with a number of other projects through IndieGoGo, including an Expendables graphic novel with Chuck Dixon and Sylvester Stallone. After Antarctic Press changes their minds not to publish the graphic novel on the basis of some of the more objectionable things he has said, he launched a still-ongoing lawsuit against writer Mark Waid, charging him with tortuous interference and defamation regarding the publication decision. He then began a YouTube channel with the aim of pointing out what he saw as overly-liberal or diverse plotlines in Marvel and DC comic books, including obscene attacks against a number of creators, before mobilising that audience to fund his publishing attempts with the Jawbreakers graphic novel on Kickstarter as part of #comicsgate. After earlier attempts to publish comics, Meyer became a controversial figure in the comics industry, initially rising to prominence in a successful bid to get Hasbro to fire the writer of GI Joe comics at IDW. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So, that in mind, I welcome this brand new Pride and Prejudice and Zombies trailer, (a zom-rom-com if you will), with open arms, because it's sort of proof that it is the perfect date movie. After all, there's nothing more unifying than howling with laughter at bad death scenes, shuddering in disgust at gross gore, or suffering the humiliating indignity of falling victim to a cheap jump scare. For me, it's horror movies all the way for dates. If your date happens to be a lady, then it still sucks, because there's so few rom-coms with strong female characters or even a lesbian romance at the center of the story. For starters, if your date happens to be a dude, then chances are he's going to be complaining most of the way through it anyway. I don't know about you, but there's something deeply unsettling about watching a rom-com on a date. ![]() ![]() ![]() You’re suffering through the inevitable and inane cancer-easy-fix suggestions from church acquaintances? Read poem “Advice,” and learn that those irritating fixes come from someone’s “cancer of the character.” His new book of poetry, The Absolute, Relatively Inaccessible, maps the topography of cancer. Diagnosed in 2005, Wangerin has had the time to examine the field well. The battlefield he’s crossing has been the field of prolonged cancer and pain and impending death.įor over a decade, this well-heeled writer and teacher/preacher has been walking this field, examining its every crevice. This weathered scop, Walter Wangerin Jr, known for Miz Lil, The Book of the Dun Cow and other marrow-of-the-bone works, has written again. The one who shaped, the one who told the story. Scop, the one in ancient Greece who crossed the battlefield and recorded its story. He is the type to excavate words long buried beneath century-old grit and neglect-important words, vital words like scop, the word he once handed me that was important enough to shape only my entire life purpose. ![]() ![]() The Topography of Cancerīuy Now: Amazon ] Kindle ] ![]() ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice.

The second in the series left us with one of the most epic cliffhangers I have ever read: our protagonists find themselves stranded on an alien planet. Reviews of the first two books in the series, Sleeping Giants and Waking Gods can be found on the blog as well. To recap, the story follows the discovery of a giant robot, which is subsequently named Themis, and its relation to an alien race whose presence on earth is proven by the existence of the robot. Only Humanis the end of the road for the Themis Files, the science fiction trilogy, that I discovered this year. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to this world! After some pondering, I realised why that was. However, the full review just never seemed to want to get written.

Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are simply irrational-cavemen out of time saddled with biases, fallacies, and illusions. How can a species that developed vaccines for Covid-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, medical quackery, and conspiracy theorizing? Today humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding-and also appears to be losing its mind. “In our uncertain age, which can so often feel so dark and disturbing, Steven Pinker has distinguished himself as a voice of positivity.” – New York TimesĬan reading a book make you more rational?
