Friday Slice of Heaven, Slice Into the Woods 1/07/2011

Hot diggity dog.  It's the new year and things are looking pretty promising on the writing front for the new year with the completed (they're never really complete) novel moving into the next phase, multiple short comic scripts to write and old ones to be illustrated.  There are a few comic minis/series to hammer out and a new children's book to write before beginning the follow up to my first novel.  I really need more time to do it all.  As they say, "Where does the time go."

Since everyone else on the planet is writing out top ten lists for the past year, I figure I will do the same for my favorite comics, graphic novels, music albums and such, but my list might be different.  I might not write solely about things released in 2010, but things that I actually learned about in 2010.  You know, like the existence and joy of sexting, nudie mags and shrimp...we'll see.  But, that's not today.  Today is about....

Friday Slice of Heaven

Planetary Vol. 4: Spacetime Archaeology - Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by John Cassaday, published by Wildstorm (R.I.P.), a DC Comics imprint.  Okay, what the hell is wrong with me?  Seriously.  What is wrong with me.  I bought this TPB the day it was released--a month ago--and I did not put this on Friday Slice of Heaven?  I must have been ill.  After the first volume of the extraordinary Planetary series, I bought the floppies and then bought the TPBs of the floppies.  I have been waiting for this fourth volume for quite a while.  Come to think of it, I waited for the final issue, #27, of this series for...um...for...a long time, but I honestly thought issue #26 was the final issue and was shocked to the core to find out that there was one final installment remaining in the series that I hold near and dear to my heart.
I'm tempted to write about each and every issue in this phenomenal TPB, and gush for blog page after blog page, but I'm not going to do that.  Discussing any of the details or plots in this book is tantamount to spoiling the coolest reveals, so mums the word.  I will say that with the end I was elated, touched and almost brought to tears...fuck, it's still hitting me pretty hard just thinking about it.  A wonderful installment of one of the best written and most beautifully illustrated comics in existence.  Buy them all!

Secret Warriors - Volume3: Wake the Beast - Written by Jonathan Hickman and illustrated by Stefano Caselli, published by Marvel Comics.  Before I talk about this volume I should give a little back story on the first two volumes.  The book centers on superspy Nick Fury's band of unknown super-powered young heroes, who Fury has gathered to combat the various forces of evil, primarily Hydra.  They are what Fury refers to as his "caterpillars" and they will be the ones to further his agenda.  Over the past two volumes crucial forces have...have...okay, I don't really remember what happened prior to Wake the Beast, but I know that I loved each book and the levels of interweaving storylines are intricate and engaging and begging for multiple readings, which I need to do.
The latest trade of Secret Warriors predominantly takes a behind the scenes look at the interworking of Hydra and the main players involved, including peeks into their pasts.  Fury and the Secret Warriors do show up, to a lesser extent, but when they do appear it is to lead the story into the next chapter and towards the looming issue #27 conclusion.  Wake the Beast collects Secret Warriors #11 - 16 and focuses less on super heroics than it does secret agendas, manipulation, rejection, betrayal and commonality.  A complex yet fascinating read.

Who Is Jake Ellis - Written by Nathan Edmondson and illustrated by Tonci Zonjic, published by Image Comics.  I learned of this comic first from Nathan Edmondson himself when he spoke to the Comics Experience Comic Creators Workshop a couple of months back and also from every comic site since then.  The word was everywhere, so I had to pick it up.  I am thrilled that I did.
Who is Jake Ellis is the story of the Jon Moore, an in-high-demand spy who has just barely survived a Barcelona job gone bad.  Jon would have surely died that night on the yacht if not for the aid of Jake Ellis, his all-seeing watcher/handler.  Jon is on the run from an unknown enemy who very much wants him dead and Jon must increasingly rely on Jake, who only he can see and hear.  Who is Jake Ellis?  Beats the hell out of me at this point, but I was severely disappointed to reach the end of the book and know that I have a month to wait for the next issue.  Blinding page turns at every step and an expertly crafted story that has drawn me in completely.  The next issue cannot come soon enough.  Highly Recommended for everyone.

Who Is Jake Ellis #1


Thanos Imperative: Devastation - Written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning with illustrations by Miguel Sepulveda.  Thanos Imperative: Devastation is an epilogue to the compelling space opera Thanos Imperative and although I expected this issue to be somewhat of a throwaway/money grab, I was pleasantly surprised that there was a decent story and a nice lead into this spring's Annihilators also by Abnett and Lanning.  In this issue, Blastarr makes an all too predictable move, Cosmo remains one bad-ass puppy, a new Guardians form, and a completely unexpected and nostalgic guest appears upon the reveal of a new galaxy spanning threat.
In a time that I am becoming increasingly frustrated with mainstream super hero comics, this book along with the upcoming Annihilators, Heroes for Hire and Superboy are ones that I intend to read for a while to come.  Recommended.  *Side comment - There is no way that Adam Warlock/Magus is dead, hopefully I am right.

Thanos Imperative Devastation


Slice Into the Woods

Not much really pissed me off or annoyed me short of the usual things that leave me shaking my head in annoyance during eight hours a day on weekdays...do the math.  Although there is one thing that I found comical and disturbing at the same time.

GOP Decides to Read the Constitution to Naughty Democrats - Seriously?  C'mon now.  Yeah, uh-huh.  Keep stomping us little people chumps, at least the Koch brothers should be happy--sorry I meant to say tea partiers.

To All the Concerts I Loved Before - Part 8

Wow, it's been a while since I touched on this, but the holidays are thankfully over, and the 4th draft of the novel is in the bag, so let's do this thing.  The concerts below are still going to read a bit like a Lilith Fair roster and will have more of the (nonexistent) love life of the Donist feel, but bear with me.
Last time, I had dumped the evil ex-girlfriend and sent her on her drug addled way in search of that great, wealthy, heavy metal love of her life, which I believe meant returning to the north to live with her family, but I'm not sure.  Maybe she did end up with Brett Michaels, Slash, Rob Halford, or Vince Neil, I don't really care, I just would not wish her upon anyone short of Glenn Beck.


Ani Di Franco at The Roseland Theater (Portland, Oregon), October 29, 1996 - Okay, lets make this even more personal for a moment.  You might be asking yourself, "Donist, what the fuck were you doing in Portland, Oregon?" Well, little campers, you see, when a man likes a woman very, very, very much, he will do things like take a trip to Portland (that he can't afford) to visit a woman who used to be a roommate, who used to be the girlfriend of another roommate, who moved away and split with the other roommate, who happened to be visiting Santa Barbara and who happened to be staying at La Casa de Donist for another day or so after the Donist had returned from a family trip to Ohio in which he wrecked his parents' car.
Now, the car has nothing to do with the story other than laying on an immense amount of guilt and self imposed horror for me, and possibly making my one or two readers (thanks, Mom!) laugh.   Anyways, long story short, Oregon Girl and I got along famously and I went to visit her for a week in Portland.  While there and for a birthday present, she took me to see Ani Di Franco at the Roseland Theater.  Again, Ani put on an amazing show and the Dilate album was really beginning to take off.  She was still the tiny powerhouse who appeared to be loving every second of every song that she performed and everyone left the show charged with excitement and joy.  Oregon girl and I were charged with hunger, and went to a nearby Cajun restaurant to talk about how devastatingly amazing Ani Di Franco's performance was.  Fun times.
*rrrrckckk (record stops suddenly)*...Wait a minute.  Hold the phones.  This just in.  Contrary to what I just said, my mind just kicked into overdrive to correct me on a few things.  This trip was actually the second time I had been to Oregon to visit Oregon Girl, with her visiting me specifically in Santa Barbara a few months prior to my last visit with her.  It did not go well.  Don't get me wrong, the concert was a great birthday gift and Ani Di Franco was truly amazing, but that was probably the only good point of the trip.  No details as to why--this is about music afterall--but after three days I was about to change my ticket to return to SB and be done with the whole affair, but after much lamenting (and considering the steep flight change fee) decided to dig the knife in deeper and stay.  Still Ani ruled.

Luscious Jackson at the Ventura Theater, February 19, 1997 - After the emotional crushing I took in Oregon, one would think that I crawled into a cave to hide and plot my eventual takeover of Cinnabon, but that was not the case.  Although I did not attend any concerts there were women coming out of the woodwork to such an extent that my life felt like a fucked-up Three's Company episode.  Maybe some day I will talk about the immensely screwed up girl, the nice girl, the nice girl from the bar, the great slightly older woman, the nutball ex-coworker woman, the super crush with the heroin boyfriend in jail, another coworker, and the woman who is now my wife, but we won't go into that today.  "Whoa there partner, that sounds kind of interesting, plus there's no way in hell that I believe that you had one girl to deal with in a four month span, let alone all those other's."  Well, faithful reader Obie the Boston Terrier, let me tell you something...I barely believe it myself, but it is totally true.
Amy and I had met a month after ground zero in Portland.  She showed up to work for the ultra-evil music store corporation that was imploding towards the end of November, and by the beginning of February, and after the store had closed down, things...changed.  I then pronounced us boyfriend and girlfriend.
This was great, but a month prior I had purchased tickets to go see Luscious Jackson with Super Crush and her friend, so the three of us went.  Luscious Jackson was touring for their Fever In Fever Out album and they put on a really good show, but I was in la-la land thinking about Amy and wishing I was back in town with her.  Here I was with Super Crush and her beautiful and kind friend, eating Mexican food, seeing a great show and returning to Santa Barbara for a quick drink and I did not care.  After a drink or two, the evening came spiraling headfirst to a halt when I said that my girlfriend was coming to pick me up.  I kind of got an odd reaction from Super Crush and her friend, but again, a story for another time.

Mazzy Star at Emerald City, March 27, 1997 - By this point, Amy and I had been going out for a really long time...nearly two months!  We had purchased tickets to see Mazzy Star for her Among My Swan album.  Okay, what can I tell you about this concert.  Let's see.  The air conditioner was down and it was hot.  Correction.  It was you have been a bad boy now burn in an eternal firey hell that you paid to put yourself through.  Dear god it was hot.  That and Mazzy took the stage very late and Amy and I bailed after a couple of songs.  At least I lost a couple pounds in water weight, but you know how that goes, it always comes back.

Lori Carson at McCabe's, April 15, 1997 (?) - One of my favorite bands of all time is Golden Palominos, specifically the Lori Carson helmed albums This Is How It Feels and Pure followed by the vastly dark Dead Inside with Nicole Blackman.  Lori Carson's songs for Golden Palominos are at times haunting, others driving but always beautiful, so I had no reservations about picking up her solo album Where It Goes, which is more her style as opposed to that of Golden Palomino's frontman Anton Fier.
Where It Goes is a more mellow and slightly more accessible album than the Golden Palominos albums and the same can be said for Carson's follow up Everything I Touch Runs Wild for which she was doing a small tour.
McCabe's is a smallish guitar store in Santa Monica that also hosts many small concerts, providing an intimate setting that almost seems like a private show.  Lori Carson took the stool with just her guitar to perform songs from her solo albums and even a rendition of Golden Palominos's "Little Suicides" from Pure.  Not the most upbeat of shows, but definitely one that I will remember forever.

That's it for now, until next time when the focus changes back to mostly just the music.

Friday Slice of Heaven, Slice Into the Woods 12/31/2010

Alrighty then...yeah, about last week...didn't post none of nothin' no how.  T'was the season to be buried in things and stuff, and unfortunately I was not able to post a blog entry or two, but I'm back now and on the verge or normalcy.  Most of the holiday season was spent critiquing comic scripts for my fellow Comics Experience Comic Creator's Workshop, with a Twilight Zone inspired story that I loved and a script from a newcomer to the group that blew everyone away and was critiqued live by Andy Schmidt at Tuesday evening's meeting.  I also revised a comic script that I have verbally secured an artist to draw so that we can enter the Eagles Initiative contest; the deadline is looming.  I also had a chance to work a little on the fourth draft of my novel, which leads me into...

Friday Slice of Heaven


Fourth Draft of the still unnamed novel is complete! - On Thursday, December 30 2010, at 7:45AM, I placed the last comma, obliterated the last run-on and changed another passive voice sentence to active.  Boom!  Done.  Does this mean it is 100% ready for print and I should gleefully skip into the office to hand in my resignation and go mansion hunting?  No, 100% not the case--I can still dream though.  What it does mean is that I need to come up with a title and start working on the bones of a query letter and then pick up the researching of agents and publishers that might be interested in my science fantasy, steampunky little story.
I am anxious to start the kids' book that has been churning in the ol' noggin for the past two months and to also start the follow up novel this March to the one that I just finished.  Exciting times

Morning Glories #4 and Morning Glories #5 - Written by Nick Spencer with art by Joe Eisma, published by Image Comics.  Well it's about god damn time!  Last week I finally received my Morning Glories #4, and of course it's not the first print that I should have received over a month ago, NOOOOO, it's the second printing, but at this point I really don't care.  Do I still love this series?  Hell yes.
In these issues, the Morning Glories devise a plan to rescue Jade from her abductors, deal with betrayal and experience just how far the administration will go to bend the students to their every whim.  Oh yeah, and the creepy-as-all-get-out purple ghosty guy shows up again in the most shocking of ways.  This series continues to be one of the top three comics I look forward to every month with another one being...

Morning Glories #4
Morning Glories #5


Chew #16 - Written by John Layman and illustrated by Rob Guillory, published by Image Comics.  Chew, Morning Glories and Sweet Tooth are the three comics that I look the most forward to reading every month.  "What?" you say.  "Not one superhero book?"  Yup, that's the truth, although Heroes for Hire has hooked me pretty good though.
Chew #16 is the beginning of the five issue "Flambe" arc and begins with a beautiful depiction of the Mother Clucker's franchise history up until the moment of the bird flu.  The mysterious alien writing is still in the sky and although life for some returns to normal, others cannot deal with the uncertainty of what the words portend.  A new food based power is revealed and Tony attempts to juggle his personal and work life.  Chew continues to be wonderfully told and illustrated and despite being somewhat revolting at times, it continues to be one of the most original and compelling books on the stands.  Everyone should be reading this book.

Chew #16

Ex Machina Vol. 10: Term Limits - Written by Brian K. Vaughan and illustrated by Tony Harris, published by Wildstorm Comics, a DC Comics imprint.  Ex Machina finally comes to a close with the tenth volume, and the series ends in a wholly unexpected manner.  New York Mayor Mitchell Hundred has a full plate.  Not only must he attempt to set up a smooth transition for Wylie to hopefully take up the position of mayor, but he must also save the city from his newly empowered evil ex-girlfriend and journalist (trust me, read it) by once again taking up the mantle of the Great Machine.  The end result is uplifting and ultimately--not giving anything away--deeply tragic, yet after much thought expected.  
The story is well written, precisely paced and the art as beautiful as ever, with the exception of an issue or two that seemed rushed and a shade rough.  A great series and an unanticipated, yet fitting end to a great series.

Freakangels, Volume 1 and Volume 2 - Written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Paul Duffield, published by Avatar Press.  I have known of this series for a while now, but have never taken the plunge up until this week when my wife and I received the first volume from her comic book inclined cousin.  I am completely hooked.  Freakangels is currently being released as a free web comic that is subsequently gathered and released in TPB form.  I originally saw this series at the local comic shop and briefly flipped through it and unfortunately passed on the purchase for something that in hindsight I would enjoy much less.  The real power of this steampunk altered future tale rests in Ellis's expert narrative, which then drags in Duffield's art that now leaves me never wanting to see another artist touch this story.  Immediately after finishing the first volume, I went out to purchase the second and would have bought the third if it had not been out of stock.  To put it mildly, I love this book.  
From the back of volume one, "23 years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment.  6 years ago the world ended.  This is the story of what happened next."
Every page is essentially some derivative of a four-panel grid, which I assume makes it easier for posting on the web, and provides a quick read for each volume, but that is fine.  
Could I just read it on my iPad or iMac for free?  Sure, but this is a series to display proudly on the bookshelf and with volume five being released later this month, I have a whole lot of catching up to do. Please support Ellis in this endeavor and go to the freakangels.com site and buy some merch or pick up the TPBs to ensure that this series continues to be released.

Slice Into the Woods

"I'm So Sick of Seeing All these Butts and A-holes" - Okay, this is a short second hand tale, that honestly should be up in the Slice of Heaven section, but hey, I had to put something down here and I generally agree with the statement.  Here we go. 
Amy's brother and sister were at the local grocery store and waiting in line to purchase some last minute supplies for the impending 53 person X-mas Eve party (yeah, talk about hectic).  As they waited in line, they spied the latest issue of Star Magazine which featured some sort of article about "The Best and Worst Beach Bodies" with an incredibly unflattering photo of Julia Roberts's posterior smack dab on the cover.  Amy's siblings were poking fun of the cover and saying how horrible it was, when the old lady behind them muttered under her breath, "I'm so sick of seeing all these butts and a-holes."  Amy's brother put the magazine calmly back on the rack, briskly strolled outside of the store and began to lose his marbles with laughter, leaving the sister to pay for the groceries with the elderly anti-a-hole patron waiting patiently behind her.  Sometimes life is beautiful.

Friday Slice of Heaven, Slice Into the Woods 12/17/2010

Last Friday, I complained about how the week painstakingly dragged its bloody carcass along a rocky beach with its one good arm.  Comparatively, this week was more of the same...without the one good arm.  Tis the season, thank god this week is over.  There were however some stellar books and a great Tuesday evening.

Friday Slice of Heaven

Sweet Tooth Vol. 2: In Captivity - Written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire, published by DC Comics imprint, Vertigo.  This volume continues the post apocalyptic story of a world where disease has killed off the majority of the earth's population and left the results of the dwindling child births to be animal/human hybrids.  Enter Gus, a cross between a deer and a boy, who's supposed age predates the arrival of the plague by a few years.  Last volume detailed Gus's meeting with the man mountain, Jepperd and their journey to "the preserve," a supposed haven for animal children.
This volume heavily spotlights Jepperd before the arrival of the disease and the sad path his life had taken, while revealing his motivation behind taking Gus to "the preserve."  Although In Captivity contains an issue more than Out of the Woods, it reads just as quickly if not more so.  Lemire specializes in storytelling through the use of large panels and sparse dialogue and captions, showing the story with the emotions his artwork elicits.
Sweet Tooth is a bleak, dark and depressing book and I love it wholeheartedly because of that.  After this volume, I'm going to single issues so that I do not have to wait for third TPB.  The hunt is on.  Buy it!  $20 to own both volumes, you cannot go wrong.  Highly recommended.

The Complete Essex County - Written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire, published by Top Shelf Productions.  Apparently it's Jeff Lemire week here at Donist Compound and that is an okay thing.  At 512 pages, this big boy might be intimidating to some, but it should not be.  This is a must own book to be featured prominently on the shelf and to be reread annually.
Essex County consists of three intertwined stories originally released as three separate graphic novels.  Lemire's distinct art and style in Essex County complement the sparse dialogue and captions and tell a compelling and heartfelt story unlike anything I have ever read.   Essex County is a relatively quick read despite the size of the book, but only some of the blame falls upon the many large panels and splash pages.  The story is engrossing and wonderful and tragic.  Characters dance into the other chapters in a tightly interwoven story in ways that I did not expect and I was compelled to flip back through to confirm moments that I did not at first catch.
A very real and truthful, heartfelt piece of work that encompasses everything that I wish to achieve as a writer.  I never would have thought anything could make me care about any sort of sport, but Lemire actually succeeded in having we wish for the Lebeuf Brother's to succeed in their hockey endeavors and not fall into the sad events that transpire.
The last book to move me to this degree was Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise.  Essex County is destined to be one of the most important graphic novels of all time.  Simply wonderful and oddly beautiful.  Highly Recommended.

The Latest Comics Experience Book Club - The Comics Experience Book Club has recently been wrapped into the Comic Creators Workshop membership.  You buy one, you get access to both.  A pretty damn good deal, seeing as how I am wrapping up my fifth comic script (8-pages) for the December Challenge and this past Tuesday we looked at Chew Volume 1: Taster's Choice.  In and of itself, discussing Chew is an enjoyable venture--currently one of my favorite books on the stand.  This past Tuesday we were joined by the creators, John Layman and Rob Guillory.  They discussed how the book came to be, the heavy resistance met to the pitch for the book and how going it alone really worked in their favor.  Both men were honest, open and more than happy to discuss their successes, pitfalls and hopes for the future.  An exceptionally informative and highly interesting evening on one of the best new books in recent years.  The class itself continues to be fun and greatly helps my writing and my pursuit of a writing career.  An invaluable experience.

Top Ten Banned Books for 2009 - Nothing gets my hackles up like a bunch of mental midgets trying to tell me and others, whether children or adults, what we can and cannot read.  Below is the list from the American Library Association's website, or better yet, follow the link and read about what is happening in the war on our libraries and the war on our freedom through censorship.  It is followed by my "Top 10" list of things for those who seek to ban books from our libraries.

Top Ten Most Frequently Challenged Books of 2009
Out of 460 challenges as reported to the Office for Intellectual Freedom 
1. ttyl; ttfn; l8r, g8r (series), by Lauren Myracle

The Donist Top Ten List of Alternatives For Those Seeking to Ban Books
1.  Go fuck yourselves...seriously.  It kinda sounds like you need a little loosening up.  Trust me, Christine O'Donnell does not know what she is talking about.
2.  Get a hobby other than your child.  There's quilting, cooking, exercising, and plenty of other things to do other than guaranteeing that your child will be in a clock tower with a rifle one day as a result of your overbearing demeanor.
3.  Actually read the book that you are attempting to ban.  It's not what you've been led to believe.
4.  If you still don't like the book, vote with your dollars and DO NOT BUY IT.  Simple.
5.  Turn off the FOX "News."  It's just a hunch, but I suspect a strong correlation between those who ban books and those who worship the truthiness of Beck, Hannity and the other clowns.
6.  Go for a hike and appreciate nature for a change.  Exercise is good.
7.  See and experience the world, other people and other cultures.  This can be expensive, so there is always Netflix and documentaries to help with this endeavor.  There are also different types of food.  Try something different.
8.  Start to trust our Educators and Librarians for a change; they are not all failing our children as the media (not just FOX) and politicians seeking reelection would like you to think.  These people have received a lot of training and work ridiculously hard only to be thrown under the bus over and over and over and...you get the picture.
9.  Read a book, read many books.  Reading is good for you.
10.  Don't like what is currently out there?  Write your own damn books.   You'll discover something about yourself and something about the art.

Bonus 11. If you still want to toss the ol' Harry Potter onto the bonfire, then keep in mind that you bought a copy, disposed of a copy that cannot be found in used bookstores and thus another new copy can be bought.  Oh yeah, and go fuck yourself again...you're obviously a nutbag.  Happy holidays.
