May 1.2002: David Rosler Interview, Mr. Robert Mandell, Christopher Rowley and 'The 3rd Degree', and who knows what else...
 |
The David Rosler chat is up now. After some consideration, I took the liberty of porting the IRC chat log over to an interview style read. It was a little less cryptic and lucid (as IRC chats go) and reads pretty well as it is. Learn about some behind the scenes information and answer that question that haunts everyone: I know Senator Wheiner looks familiar, but who is he? Thanks to David for making it possible in the first place. Check that out here.

Robert Mandell sent along a quick 'whats new' email. The DVD project has hit another snag, but he's still working on it. His publishing imprint, Red Sky Publishing is off to a terrific start. Pictured below are the covers to a few of his first projects.

Avalon - Web of Magic, published by Scholastic - 4 books in the market so far and its doing great.
Web Warriors, book 1, published by Ballantine and written by Jimmy Luceno goes out June 15.
and, well, let's just roll into the last one he mentioned, something called 'The 3rd Degree"....

Something I missed on the Ranger-L list and then was reminded by Mr. Mandell was Chris Rowley's new comic book series that has come out this year. Over at NBM Publishing's (http://www.nbmpub.com/) website, you can check out previews of the first three installments of the series.

I'm still looking for something local up here in Maine, but the previews are looking pretty good. I'm not familiar with Justin Norman's artwork, but I like it as it reminds me a little of Matt Wagner's Grendel (Warchild era to be specific), which happens to be the last comic I actively collected.

That's about it for now. My cat is playing attack with a practice golf ball at my feet. The accuracy is amazing and I'm starting to think she wants me to play with her as she neatly beans the ball right into the arch of my foot with quite a success rate. The forum is bugging me still, but I'm putting it on the back burner. Another thing that bugs me is 'Senator Wheiner'. It's pretty inconsistent here on the website, and I know some like to call him Weiner, but for me that ends up close to Weener, which he is, and maybe I'm annunciating improperly, but I tend to gravitate towards 'wh' to that end. (A bit later) Enunciating. If you like you can still picture me running around enunciating Wheiner about the place. Great thing about the web, it shows the spaghetti sauce to everyone before you knew you spilled it on your shirt. Thanks EB.
Graduation is 18 days away and that's where my mind is at :) I finished Chris Rowley's 'A Dragon at World's End' and bought 'Dragons of Argonath' this afternoon. Really liking the series (obviously). Blah blah. Have a good May, in case I don't have a chance to update for awhile. Time to go play with my cat.
