I guess this is the third in a loose series of re-imaginings of old TSR settings. My knowledge of classic Dragonlance is admittedly a bit limited, but what I don't know about it, I figure I'll just fill in with other post-apocalyptic, science fantasy, or sword and sorcery stuff.

So, Kyrnn is a world locked in a protracted semi-Cold War. One side or the other (perhaps both), looking to end the stalemate once and for all uses their advanced science or scientific sorcery to pierce a veil that should have remained unpierced and contact another universe where an unlimited source of power was waiting. That power had an intelligence. They called it Tiamat.

Tiamat agreed to help their cause and taught them how to make living weapons they called dragons from a portion of "her" own substance. Their early victories were great, and several enemy cities fell before the dragons, but then somehow, the opposing side got dragons of their own.

When the two blocs were utterly dependent on dragons, the beasts turned on their masters. Civilization was nearly destroyed in the onslaught.

The only good Draconian...Centuries later and Krynn is a world dominated by the dragons, and their lackeys the Draconians. The former dominate species of now either fear and avoid or serve the planet's rulers (not unlike the humans in Vance's Planet of Adventure, or maybe even the Planet of the Apes TV show).

Anyway, the idea is to make it more random Sword & Sorcery 70s paperback than Lord of the Ring.

Goldmoon?

Here are some recent comics I've read in the past few weeks.

Hey Kids! Comics! (Image)
This is a limited series by Howard Chaykin (perhaps the first of multiple volumes) about the history of comics from the 40s to the 2000s as seen through the eyes of three (fictional, though clearly with elements of real people) creators who got their start in the Golden Age. They interact with a number of other characters who are, at times, fairly thinly disguised stand-ins for real personalities in the industry. The throughline seems to the reputed Jack Kirby adage: "comics will break your heart, kid," or at least leave you embittered and angry, as editors and publishers profit from your work and fandom misunderstands the real history. While there are more sympathetic and less sympathetic characters, all of them are all too human, and no one involved is particularly flattered by Chaykin's portrayal.

Spider-Man: Life Story (Marvel)
The conceit here is that Spider-Man ages in real time, from his teen years in the 60s on through the decades. Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley weave a tale that resembles Byrne's Generations limiteds in some ways, but is more interested in clever re-imaginings of various classic storylines from each era. The result is entertaining, but this dual concern means that the idea of a Marvel universe where time passes is not as deeply explored as it might be since story time has to include secret wars, alien suits, and (multiple) clone sagas. Still, it's the sort of thing I wouldn't have thought Marvel would put out, so the novelty alone makes it worth a look. Five issues are out now with the sixth and the trade to come.

Superman: Year One #1 (DC)
Many of the reviews I have seen of this tend to be reviews of the reviewer's lack of faith in Frank Miller (not unjustified, admittedly, given his work and public statements of the past decade or so) or at least their certainty he doesn't understand Superman. (Aside: Almost any time someone says "that isn't what Superman/Batman whoever would do" they are making a statement more of personal preference than history. Of course, there are certainly portrayals that are more the center of the bell curve and some that are outliers.)

For the most part, if this take by Miller and Romita has a flaw, it's that it is all too conventional, and the minor (minor!) ways it deviates from the Standard Consensus Origin are a bit more off-putting than interesting. It is suggested that baby Kal-El modifies his behavior to manipulate the Kents into accepting him (plausible, perhaps even likely, but not what most Superman readers want to read, apparently). Clark is also always aware of the fragility of regular humans (again, plausibly, but not people are looking for). The Kents are on paper what they are suppose to be but they feel a little off. Lana Lang is more active than it most takes, but it still doesn't amount to much and she must be rescued.

So, if you just need another Superman origin, well, this is another one, but if you are looking for the Superman origin that will give you the small thrill of the truncated origin in All-Star Superman, this isn't it. It's more like a darker Man of Steel (the Byrne limited) as written by Frank Miller.

Zauberina was the daughter of the magician and adventure John Zauberer, known as Zauber the Great, and the "ghost-breaker" Rose Buchanan. Zauberina was kidnapped when she was an infant by her father's greatest enemy, Jada the Green Sorceress, ruler of the subterranean city of Vulthoor. The Green Sorceress told Zauberina she was her mother and that her father had abandoned them.

Zauberina possessed her father's aptitude for the magical arts, and she was tutored along these lines by the Green Sorceress. She soon rose in the ranks of her foster mother's magical forces, until she commanded them. She lead in Vulthoor's attempted invasion of the surface world.

Zauber and the Super-Sentinels repelled the invasion. They were aided by Zauberina, who learned that the Green Sorceress had lied about her father, and switched sides.

Zauberina became an ally of the Super-Sentinels and aided them in several of their adventures.

Comments: “Arch-addin and the Magic Carpet” This story has the gang in roles from Aladdin. Now this story does have some of the traditional parts and it also has some nice new parts thrown in. It is a fun story filled with romance.
“The Frog Princess” All the Princesses are competing for Prince Archie. This is a slightly different take on the fairytale with the gang in various parts. Princess Veronica is a mean Princess. The wicked witch played by Miss Grundy does have a wicked sense of humor. It is a fun story with a happy ending and gorgeous art throughout.
“The Legend of Sleepydale” Another fairytale with some interesting changes to it. It is a fun and entertaining story. Betty and Veronica are still competing in it for Archie with fun results ensuing.
“Betty and the Beanstalk” You will just love the differences to the classic tale. The art is so beautifully done. Betty, Veronica and Archie are illustrated perfectly.
You will not be able to not have fun with this book.

As much as cons are great places to pick up comics and related treasures, I spend a lot of time interacting with people on both sides of the table. And it gets me to thinking–maybe the best part of cons is NOT the stuff, but the people.

I recently attended the 2019 Fan Expo Dallas in Texas, a big and growing pop culture/comics convention in Texas. It was quite a time for a great many people in attendance! Thanks to the folks there who granted me a press pass to attend!

HOW WAS FAN EXPO DALLAS?

I guess you can tell it’s convention season because I’m talking about cons a lot these days! I actually get a weekend off this coming week! What will I do with myself?

Last year was the first time I had attended Fan Expo Dallas, and it was a big one then, too! This year, a different part of the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center was used, and it seemed bigger, too! But then, this is Texas, where everything is bigger, right?

The dealers area was massive, seemed like, and there were a lot of pop culture items for sale, including what seemed to be a big increase in anime items. Also, the media guest signing area seemed bigger as well.

When it comes to comics, though, I thought that focus hadn’t been quite as large. Granted, they had big names in the industry, including John Byrne, Mike Zeck, Scott Hanna (who I had the good fortune of being a neighbor to in the Stabbity Bunny booth), Doug Mahnke, Peter J. Tomasi, and Steve Rude, just to name a few. I was saddened to see none of the Indie comics creators I met last year there. Now, I did meet several new ones, including Zain Shenwari from The Elemental Balance, who I  interviewed for my podcast. But I did miss the good folks from last year, and I hope they are doing well!

Granted, this con took place on the same weekend as Free Comic Book Day, which I hear did spectacularly well yet again! Oddly, though, our booth seemed to be the only one giving out FCDB books, these from Scout Comics. I really thought we’d see more comics people handing out the good stuff that makes FCBD so popular. Sorry, didn’t happen.

Also, I was surprised that only DC and Zenescope from the bigger comics companies were represented. Yes, there were smaller, more independent publishers, but I thought other “big names” would have been there. Maybe next year?

Still, I enjoyed Fan Expo Dallas quite a bit, particularly when I got to briefly listen to Zachary Levi (Shazam) entertain the long line of fans patiently waiting for his autograph. He seemed to delight in the movie’s success and his part in it. Good for him!

PEOPLE MADE THE CON GO ‘ROUND

And that leads me into my main topic for this column–people at cons interacting. Fans of all kinds were there, and they shared a passion for their particular genres, be it comics, anime, movies, TV, or other forms of entertainment. The people who seemed happiest there were the ones talking with others, sometimes quite animatedly.

I mean, I have gone to many cons and come back with items I LOVED, but over time, what remains in my memory, long after those items have faded and fallen apart, was the interaction with both pros and other fans over the years.

As I mentioned previously, I was in a booth next to Scott Hanna, a comics professional who is among the very best, and is likely best known for his inking. I noticed how he interacted with fans who wanted commissions or other artwork he had made. He was always professional, but made people happy. When fans picked up their commissions, he wanted to be sure that he had exceeded their already high expectations. And almost all of the time, he did!

Some fans were chatting with various pros, and they appeared happy to be able to do that. I know that some comics professionals prefer the chance to interact with fans more than just a moment or two because it lets them know what they’re doing well or not so well.

In my observations, the folks walking the convention floor who didn’t seem as happy were the ones who didn’t talk with others, including pros or other fans. Who knows? There might be pressures at home that are stealing their focus away, but I wished they could have shared in the happiness around the floor.

GO WITH OTHER FANS

I often like to point out that it has made my convention experiences more fun when I go with other fans. We would often book rooms in a nearby hotel, eat together, and share what happened with us that day or over the weekend.

I compare that to when I have gone to cons on my own, which I often talk about. I’ve made quick rounds on the floor, bought what I wanted, then got bored and left the con after only an hour or two.

I highly encourage you to find others to share this experience with.

Granted, con organizers would love it if you would bring more people with you when you attend. It increases their profits, after all! But it’s more than that–it’s a chance to share a fun time with people who might become your friends outside of the con. People with share interests often become friends, at least in my experience.

One thing I’ve noticed from the other side of the table is that a camaraderie often develops among pros who go to and exhibit at conventions. They share experiences and expertise, such as which airlines they would recommend or what cons are ones they prefer. When this con was ending, many pros turned to others creators and checked to see when they would be at other cons again. I see the same thing with fans who meet up at cons. “When will I see you next?” is often an important question as the time winds down.

I point this out because I have often found comics a solitary experience. You go to your store, pick up your comics as quietly as if you are in a library, take them home and read them alone. Then you wish you had someone to talk with about them. The online experience has faltered for many of us, with most postings there are “gushers” who love everything a creator/comic does to “bashers” who hate everything a creator/comic does. I mostly fall in the mid-range, so I cherish the chance to discuss this passion with those who just might change my mind if we talk to each other with respect.

My wish for each of you readers is that you get to enjoy that experience at conventions in your area or wherever you attend. It’s so worth it!

Writer Marguerite Bennett and Artists Mirka Andolfo and Arif Prianto to Take on RWBY Comic

Writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing and Artist Carlo Barbieri to Bring gen:LOCK Comic to Life

Jim Lee to Create Special Variant Covers for No. 1 Print Issues

The Cover for RWBY #1

Today at RTX, DC and Rooster Teeth revealed new details about the forthcoming RWBY and gen:LOCK comic books, including details on creative teams and first look cover art. The RWBY comics are set to launch digitally in late August, while the gen:LOCK comics will launch in September. The two series will alternate weekly, with two new digital chapters released every month that will later be collected as monthly print issues. DC Publisher and renowned comic artist Jim Lee will also create a special variant cover for both RWBY and gen:LOCK #1 print issues. Fans at RTX are encouraged to attend panel about the new comics on Sunday, July 7 from 12-1pm.

“We’re thrilled to be able to announce the talented artists and writers who are bringing the RWBY and gen:LOCK comic books to life,” said Matt Hullum, Rooster Teeth co-founder and CEO. “Connecting with DC and like-minded brands inside WarnerMedia has been a dream come true, and we’re excited for the future of Rooster Teeth. The journey to bring out the RWBY and gen:LOCK comics has been an awesome and fun experience with DC and we can’t wait for fans to get their hands on them.”

Acclaimed writer Marguerite Bennett (BATWOMAN, DC BOMBSHELLS) and artists Mirka Andolfo (DC BOMBSHELLS, HEX WIVES, WONDER WOMAN) and Arif Prianto (DEATHSTROKE) will delve into the world of RWBY in the new comic.  A global anime phenomenon, RWBY takes place in a world filled with horrific monsters bent on death and destruction, where humanity’s hope lies with powerful Huntsmen and Huntresses. Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long are four such Huntresses in training whose journeys will take them far past the grounds of their school, Beacon Academy.

“RWBY is the kind of story I wish passionately that I had had growing up — magic, mayhem, monsters, and friendship between girls who grapple with real struggles and grow together to become stronger, brighter, kinder, and better. It’s a joy to work on this project, a joy to be part of this mythology — I’ve fallen deliriously in love with the whole mad world and all the mysteries in it. I am so delighted to explore with Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang — and with all of you,” stated writer Marguerite Bennett.

“I had heard good things about the RWBY anime series, and the character designs seemed very cool to me. When DC reached out to ask if I was interested in working on a comic book based on the series, I immediately accepted, and started immersing myself in the RWBY universe,” stated artist Mirka Andolfo. “The work I’ve done for RWBY has been some of the most enjoyable art I’ve ever created– the style fits me perfectly. I’m also so excited to be paired again with my DC Bombshellspartner, Marguerite Bennet!”

gen:LOCK’s war-torn world will be explored in comic form by co-writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (GREEN ARROW, NIGHTWING, GOTHAM CITY GARAGE), along with artist Carlo Barbieri (GREEN LANTERNS, ADVENTURES OF SUPER SONS). The gen:LOCK story revolves around a diverse team of young pilots, recruited by Earth’s last free society to control the next generation of giant, weaponized robot bodies known as mecha. These daring recruits will find, however, that their newfound abilities come at no small cost. The comic will expand on the world created in the highly popular gen:LOCK mecha-anime style series starring Michael B. Jordan, Dakota Fanning, Maisie Williams, Kōichi Yamadera, Golshifteh Farahani, Asia Kate Dillon and David Tennant.

“Giant mechas, heartfelt drama, and a whole new theater of war – we’re deeply excited to be telling the next chapter of the gen:LOCK universe. Huge thanks to everyone at Rooster Teeth & DC for recruiting us into this grand experiment – we promise to turn the screws on Chase, Cammie, Kazu, Val, and Yaz as they face an uncertain future and a devastating new threat,” stated writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing.

Comments: “Chapter 1: Past, Present, Future!” Sean, Stone, Staz and Rain but with one of them sick Diana takes their place. She is a pretty sight looking so cute in her exploring outfit. So our three adventurers of course start off with roller skating. The art overall is cute and inviting a younger audience will be sure to love it and any age can and will enjoy it.
“Chapter 2: Diana’s Big Day Out” Rain does not think before he speaks. Stone is the sensible one. The scenery is breathtaking in this prehistory land. Here we are treated to a lovely butt shot of Diana. Here to we are shown that the Jurassic period can be a deadly place. The dinosaurs are all illustrated amazingly.
Between each chapter you get some easy to read facts about the past and the creatures that lived in it.
“Oceanic Flight” The ferocity of the Jurassic land is made crystal clear. The three explorers get to take one wild and exciting ride. The scenes of action are so thrilling.
“Keeping A Promise” Diana finds the Barapasaurus dinosaurs she was looking for. They are huge. Diana, Stone and Rain get caught in a stampede of dinosaurs.
The pin-up two page spread of “A Scene from the Jurassic” is done in a more realistic style. You will be stunned by this masterpiece.
“The Walking Wounded” Staz comes out finally. This little robot is cute and he is ready to help. The dinosaurs get into it as flesh is ripped apart and dinosaurs feast. Diana has proven herself a valuable asset to the field team.
“Relentless Assault” Here the humans using technology battle the dinosaurs. It is an all out fight. The third wall is broken here as the characters do know they are in a comic book which is always fun.
The Jurassic Hark! two page pin-up picture is a masterpiece. It brings to life the
“Invasion!” Dinosaurs have invaded the time traveling ship. The crew do stand together. Yet another injury occurs. This is a dangerous time.
“Jurassic Jump-Out” The ship goes to time jump and all hell is breaking loose. Everything that could go wrong does. So where will our time traveling explorers end up?
Jurassic Lark! is a two page pin-up page with gorgeous dinosaur art and backgrounds.
This is a fun and exciting book about exploring the Jurassic period. It is filled with gorgeous art and wonderfully presented character. “Jurassic Jump-Out”

This is the third of Joel Jenkins Skull Crusher series and possibly the last of the series. I also have to say, that I think it is the best of the three. The book started out great and somehow became ever greater.

As I read the book I found the character StrommandGreattrix, the main character, reminded me of another hero from the past, Conan. I should say, King Conan. Both heroes having gained some maturity in their later years after getting married and having a son that resembled them in name and looks and heroes in hopefully future books. Strathom, Strommand’s son appears to be possibly a new series after events in this book. I look forward to reading them.

I enjoyed the book immensely and was impressed by the many adventures of Strommand fighting his way through the book, in a way similar to Homer’s Odyssey. Both heroes fighting against seemingly against unbeatable odds and coming out victorious. Like Odysseus, who keeps finding new adventures before he goes home, so does Strommand.

As I read the book I was introduced to some new characters and some characters from the past. Some fared well and others not so well. I like how Joel is able to keep you wondering who will survive and wither they will become friend or foe. Or in some cases, change sides. As in any book by Joel, the secondary characters could easily become a primary character in their own book.

One of the more interesting things in any Joel Jenkins books I’ve read is, you never know who will survive or not, the only thing that I can guaranteed is, you will be impressed and like what you read.

 Be sure and check out all of Joel Jenkins books on his Amazon page.
