Obviously, I'm a bit behind in regards to posting... anything. We could spend all day discussing where I failed, and where you failed. The best I can say is that I accept your apologies and promise that I will forgive you again in the future, when I once again stop posting with regularity.

First, a blast from the recent past. Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade continues to garner positive reviews.

Notes On the Art Of Writing

"I really enjoyed the storyline and recommend it."


Then we have reviews of our second issue of Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

Chris's Invincible Super Blog

"The Diamond order code you want is AUG09 0192."

The Arrowcave

"Thanks for all the GA love, guys!"

Every Day Is Like Wednesday

"That is a very good plot for a comic book right there."

But Before I Kill You

"GOOD COMIC AHOY."

BW Media Spotlight

"[...]someone at Warner Animation must greenlight this comic as an actual episode!"

Comixtreme

"Walker and Jones have a gift for all-ages superheroes, and it really shows here. Rating: 4.5/5"

CBR/Robot 6

"I just loved the sheer infectious nature of the story."

The Pull List Podcast

"I gave this four stars. A very strong four stars."

Gaijinside

"It’s as fun as you’d expect."


And finally, a few reviews for issue 2 of The Incredibles.

Comixtreme

"This isn’t just one of the best of the Boom! Kids books, it’s one of the better superhero comics being published today."

BW Media Spotlight

"I constantly have to fight to find anything wrong with this comic."

CBR/Robot 6

"I love the book's universal sense of humor"

Not a review, but there's some nice discussion over the issue at Scans Daily.


And that's all I can find right now. October and November have been a bit crazy, and there appears to be no end in sight for the madness of my schedule. Hopefully, I can clean up my act a bit and get back to doing some regular posting.

FROM YEAR ONE TO DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: A BATMAN CHRONOLOGY - REVISED

Landry Q. Walker
FROM YEAR ONE TO DARK KNIGHT RETURNS: A BATMAN CHRONOLOGY Back in 1986 I picked up a comic off the shelves that changed my perception of sequential storytelling. I was 15 years old at the time and had been reading comics for as long as I could remember. Batman had long been my favorite character. Well, more specifically Robin had been - ever since I was three years old and I encountered re-runs of the 1960's Batman TV series. I was even lucky enough to meet Burt Ward (in his Robin costume) at a car show in 1976. Considering where my career has landed, it is easy to argue that this exposure was impactful. To clarify: I'm a professional comic book writer, and have been producing stories since around 1992. I managed to write a few Batman related comics in the late 00's. But long before this, dating back to that day in 1986 when I found a copy of Dark Knight Returns on the shelf, I have been trying to formulate in my own head a complete and functional Batman chronolog

Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 9th Grade - Concept art

Landry Q. Walker
Been sitting on this for a couple of years now. Figured might as well let people see a bit of what we had been thinking for Supergirl's future as she enters the turbulent world of high school. One of the things I would like to point out about these images is the evolution of Kara's design. When the first series was announced (along with an image never intended for the public) the common complaint was that our Supergirl was boyish. That she was rough looking. That she looked awkward and maybe even a little weird. Eric could have drawn Supergirl as the epitome of style and grace. But that wouldn't have been our Supergirl. Our Supergirl was a character who needed to grow. She was overly self-aware, insecure and gangly, that's part of being a young teenager (particularly as younger teens see themselves from within) and therefore an important part of the storytelling. I think with the slight changes to the artwork here we really begin to see Kara's self confidence manife

Mezmerella incorporated into Pixar/Incredibles float at Disneyland California Adventure.

Landry Q. Walker
A life size cutout of Mezmerella is a part of the "Pixar and Pals" presentation at Disneyland/California Adventure. Mezmerella was created in late 2009 for the Boom! Studios Incredibles series I was co-writing with Mark Waid. Although he did not work on the Incredibles, Eric Jones stepped in and designed the character, which in turn was rendered by Marcio Takara (I think it's his art used here) and Ramanda Karmarga (who I believe drew the Underminer in the above image). The colors scheme for the character was selected by editor Aaron Sparrow and the name (originally Hypnotica) was the idea of my wife, Belinda Adams. So alot of credit goes to alot of people for the character. It's pretty exciting seeing something I conceived of being a part of a Disney attraction of any kind. Even more fun to see young children interact with the inanimate character by throwing things at it. My favorite quote from the video: "Mezmerella gets kneecapped!" Here the full video:
