Ain't it Cool!
Holy Moley!
Untrue Tales just got a really positive review on Ain't it Cool News! It's in the AICN comics section. Check it out! I had sent a link to their comics reviewer guy Ambush Bug for the heck of it, but I figured those dudes must get inundated with that kind of stuff and it'd more than likely get lost in the shuffle. Yet lo and behold! I'm all pleased and beamy. I love that site. Visit it most everyday for the scoop and the dish and the hapsy haps. I feel almost famous by proxy now.
I will celebrate with a sneaky peek at an upcoming Untrue Tale:
Now it's me off to do my happy dance! Yay!
X-Men babble
Today I thought I'd get my geek on and ramble on for a bit about everybody's favorite misunderstood mutants The Uncanny X-men.
I first discovered the X-Men with issue number 123 of Uncanny.
It was the villain Arcade that caught my eye in the spinner rack of the store24 in Boston. I remembered him from a two-parter in Marvel Team-Up with Spider-Man and Captain Britain that was one of my favorites. For some reason, Arcade will always be jumbled up in my head with the villain from The Man with the Golden Gun and Kiss meets the Phantom of the Park. All things that were terribly important to me as a wee lad.
Anyways, from that issue on I was hooked. John Byrne was the first artist whose name I took notice of. He was the pinnacle of artistic achievement in my 10 year old eyes. And the characters were so cool. Back then, Wolverine was still a man of mystery and his antagonistic attitude toward his own teammates was something that hadn't been seen before (at least by me). He really felt dangerous and you got the feeling anything could happen with this guy. Mark Millar managed to recapture that feeling for a short while in Ultimate X-Men, but unfortunately it didn't last long after his departure.
I remained obsessed with the X-Men through the end of Byrne's run whereupon my mother unceremoniously threw out my entire collection for reasons which are lost to to time and unreliable memory. Heartbroken, I couldn't bear to buy any new X-Men comics for a few years, but I came back on board with the advent of The New Mutants and the beginning of Paul Smith's run.
This short period was a new renaissance for the X-Men. The Brood Saga, The Morlocks, and From the Ashes were the equal of any of the high points from the Byrne run.
And The New Mutants became perhaps even dearer to my heart than the originals.
This was a brilliant idea for a spin-off book with instantly relatable characters with cool powers and distinct personalities. I loved Bob McLeod's art and then when Sienkcewicz came on I hated it. Until I loved it. I think it took about three issues to get used to it, but then...wow.
What a ballsy move by Marvel and by the artist himself to take comic art to the next level.
Alas, it was all about to come crumbling down. I generally enjoyed John Romita Jrs initial run.
High points were issues 183 and 190-191 and 193 but then....
X-Factor killed the X-Men.
Looking back, when Marvel put the original X-Men back together in a book not written by Claremont, ressurecting Jean Grey in the process, that was the moment the X-Men lost the magic "whatever" that made them great. It made no sense storywise. Nobody had come up with any great new characters like the New Mutants. The reason they came up with for the originals to get back together was ridiculous and not compelling at all. It was a creatively bankrupt money grab. And it ruined the X-Men.
Of course, I didn't realize it at the time. I kept right on buying all the titles, waiting for them to get better. But they never really did. I think I mostly just wanted Cyclops to get back on the stinking team. I feel like he was always an essential element of the ongoing soap opera and with his characterisation being handed off to another writer, it left the book without a heart. I was not a fan of the Silvestri run and all that nonsense in Australia. There was a little bit of cool stuff when Jim Lee came on as artist - in particular the Wolverine/Captain America/Black Widow issue but it never came close to the heights of the Byrne or Smith eras.
And then Claremont was off the books. I kept reading for a good long while but eventually dropped all the X-Men books right before the Age of Apocalypse began. I think there was an issue where the world ended and I just decided that that's where it would indeed end for me.
And so it did. Until Grant Morrison.
When Morrison came on the book I of course had to give it another look. Animal Man was one of my favorie comics of all time so I just had to see what Morrison would do. For the most part it was pretty good. But I think it was really hobbled by the inconsistency of the art. I think it would probably be close to a masterpiece if the whole run had been drawn by just one artist. Igor Kordey caught a lot of crap for his work on this, but I think the series would have fared better as a whole if Kordey had actually been the artist for the whole thing from the get-go.
Set him up from the beginning with X-Men as his only book and he wouldn't have been rushed. He could have just cranked out the book monthly and we'd have been left with a handsomely coherent whole. Overall, the run was interesting, but still never ascended to the heights of yesteryear in my eyes.
And finally, there was Joss Whedon.
Man, did I love this run. Maybe 'cause Whedon was obviously nostalgic for exactly the same eras that I was myself, but this one hit me right in the sweet spot. Perfect characterization, keen plotting, surprises on top of surprises, and all stuck firmly in continuity and building marvelously off Morrison's new foundation.
So there's your happy ending. I still think I'm kinda mostly done with the X-Men at this point. I mentioned recently that my favorite comic of the moment is Criminal by Ed Brubaker, and wouldn't you know it... Brubaker is also writing the X-Men. But I just can't get into his run. Maybe Warren Ellis will keep me interested with Astonishing but I don't know. It's a weird and sad day when my favorite writers can't get me excited about the merry mutants. But heck, you never know. All of a sudden I'll get reeled right back in. I hope so. Growing up is no dang fun.
Oh, I am looking forward to the Wolverine movie. I loved all three of the X-Men films. That's right all three. So I've got that going for me.
Here's an old sketch of Wolverine I had lying around.
God that was long and nerdy, wasn't it?
Geek, out.

Fline Flims
Howdydoo.
So I believe I promised to mention it when I finally saw a movie that was actually good. Well, this weekend I actually saw two pretty great ones.
Wall-E is as good as everyone says, especially the first half is fantastic. Beautiful animation and characterization. And I actually shed a tear at the end. My heartstrings were rightly tugged by the cute little robots.
In Bruges was one that slipped by me until I was reminded of it in the pages of Criminal (my favorite comic of the moment by the way) where Ed Brubaker declared it the year's best film which prompted me to immediately seek it out. Well, it's maybe not the best film of the year (I'll get back to you on that one) but it's a damn fine one. Funny, brutal and poignant, this is a great new noir film with terrific performances by Colin Farrel, Brendan Gleeson and especially Ralph Fiennes who practically steals the show with only about 15 minutes of screen time. If you like crime flicks do yourself a favor and seek this out.
So there you have it. My string of bad movies has ended.
Here's a little watercolor of two of my favorite things to celebrate:

Secret Project
I have a secret project!
Here is a sketch from my secret project:
It's fun to have a secret project. However, I suspect that 3 out of the four people who read this blog are actually involved in the secret project. So it's not all that secret.
Except for that one guy.
Ha! You don't know the secret of my project, one guy!
But you will.
Soon.

Mondays and Reptilian Werewomen
Hey ho how does it go?
Nice weekend one and all I trust?
Mine was fine and dandy. Watched some more bad movies. They're really starting to pile up. Starting to be awhile since I saw a good one...
Anyway, this weekend I watched Get Smart, The X-Files movie, and The Happening. They all sucked.
Now I'm a pretty big Steve Carell fan. I love The Office. I dug his schtick on The Daily Show, but he needs to stick to movies that are well-written. There's some guys like Jim Carrey who are occassionally in a movie where there's barely a script - just scenes that say "In this scene we'll just let Jim go nuts", and oftentimes he can just pull something funny out of his ass. At least in the olden days of the Ace Ventura era. Steve Carell is not that guy. He needs a strong script like The 40 Year Old Virgin to really go to town. Get Smart did not have a good script. Would seem like this kind of James Bond parody thing would be a no-brainer to bring the funny but ouch. Big time ball-droppage by whoever wrote this thing. A million confusing things happen and they're all boring. Anne Hathaway was pretty believable as a secret agent though.
The X-Files was even worse. Just an incomprehensible mess. Once again, I was a big ol' fan of the series and watched it all the way through to the bitter Gish-y end. This would seem like another movie that would practically write itself, but nope. I couldn't make heads nor tails of the plot and I wasn't even sure by the end of the movie what kind of relationship Mulder and Scully were supposed to have. Did they live together or what? Pure muddled confusion. And gee whiz, note to whoever in Hollywood keeps casting Amanda Peet as a commanding authority figure: Stop. Sigourney Weaver she is not. Joan Allen she is not. Courtney Cox roles are more her speed I'm thinking.
Finally, the worst (and sort of the best) of the lot was M. Night Shyamalan's latest epic The Happening. This one is so bad it's almost good. It's simply fascinating in it's awfulness. Shyamalan really seems to have completely lost his mind. I feel kinda bad for Marky Mark even. He gives a tour de force of bad acting in this movie. I lay the blame squarely at the director's feet though. He has poor Marky actually attempt to engage a plastic house plant in conversation. Oh, and everyone spends most of the movie running away from... the wind. I kind of recommend renting this movie simply because this level of bad needs to be seen to be believed. Invite your friends. Break out the beers or the bud and roll in the aisles.
Okay, so there you go. A pack of worthless Monday babble for your time-wasting pleasure. I hope I see a good movie soon. I'll let you know when I do.
But wait, you say, what does all this have to do with the price of beans and reptilian werewomen?
I give you Exhibit A:
Toodles!

September Zuda
So the new Zuda competition is up and I've narrowed it down to my top three.
I haven't quite made up my mind up but I'm kinda leaning toward Steve Steiner's Middle-Aged Monster.
This is Steve's third shot at the Zuda prize and each entry has been funnier than the last. I really like the new art style he's got going on for this one - all vector, all the time. It works. The concept grabs you from the get-go (who doesn't like giant city-destroying monsters?), the story and characters are funny and engaging and the it goes out on a perfect cliffhanger, leaving the reader hungry for more. Great stuff, Steve!
My other favorite at the moment is Problems by Stplmstr (enemy of vowels).
I just lurrrrve the art on this one. I love the color. I adore page 3. And I dig the Robottalk. Extremely appealing and smartly written. The big problem with Problems is really the title. That's a real boring title. But I dig the art so much I'm willing to let it slide. I'm really torn between this and MAM.
Another entry I really like is Janggar: Son of the Steppe by Steveapalooza.
This one's also got great art, color, and an intriguing story with a pretty new angle. I really dig the decorative backgrounds too. I'm a sucker for that kinda thing. Professional level work. This one would be an easy vote if I didn't like MAM and Problems just a wee bit more this month.
Okay, that's it for me. I gots work to do...

Tuesday
That's right, it's Tuesday!
Which has no special signifigance in relation to this blog or Untrue Tales in general.
It is Tuesday though. So there.
Anyways, the new Zuda comp is up with yet another impressive array of talent. I haven't delved in too deeply yet but I've got a few early favorites. I'll post a bit about them a bit later on when I've had a chance to examine everything more closely.
I will say right off the bat that it's nice to see Steve Steiner back again for a third go round with Middle Aged Monster. Each entry is better than the last and you gotta admire the guy for keeping his nose to that grindstone. Kudos, Steve!
Okay then. Here's a sketch:
Bye for now.

Float
I still have a cold. I'm taking Benadryl that expired three years ago. Za-ba-dee-boo.
Watched The Incredibles again last night. It really is very great. Brad Bird is some kind of genius.
Otherwise, not so much going on around here. Workedy work. Pluggin away at the ol' webcomic. I'm thinking I'm gonna get back to twice a week updates after the current tale finishes. I feel like I'm dragging my ass. But no promises. My laziness knows no bounds.
Looking forward to what Zuda has in store for us this month though.
Also, anybody who straggles by here from elsewhere should really check out the Amalgamated Artists site for a bunch of new webcomicy fun from a growing pantheon of talented freaks. The place is poppin.
Okay, here's a sketch.
I'm out.

Bad Movies
Seen some bad movies lately.
Hancock. Terrible. What were they thinking? I'm usually a big Will Smith fan too.
Street Kings. Fairly lame but better than I might have expected. Don't know what Forrest Whitaker was doing in this movie though. Keanu Reeves was surprisingly not godawful.
My Blueberry Nights. I don't know what was going on here. I turned it off after 10 minutes of monologues about key rings that people left in a bar.
One pretty OK movie I saw recently was Baby Mama. I find Tina Fey cute and amusing.
So there's that.
Here's the daily sketch:
I have a cold and I am cranky.
That is all.

More Vague Ideas
Hi ho!
Here's a couple sketches from another idea I've got kicking around that I hope to find the time for before world's end.
It's interesting, but before starting Untrue Tales I really didn't have many ideas for stories or comics at all, but the more I write the more ideas I get. I suppose that's only natural, but it came as a bit of a surprise to me.
Ah well, I need more hours in the day...
