Creator of AMC's Preacher coming to NJ Comic Expo

By

We're big fans of Garth Ennis and fans of his should be excited to know he'll be at the upcoming NJ Comic Expo this month. AMC showed the short trailer for its upcoming adaptation of the graphic novel Preacher last weekend and it looks good. His work on The Punisher: MAX series is probably one of our favorite reads here at +The Blogboard Jungle and this may be his only appearance in The Garden State.

Preacher is sure to draw in fans and the network has already had a lot of success with bringing a comic book story to TV with The Walking Dead. It is set to air next year so before it becomes "a thing" you may want to meet the creator when he comes to the NJ Comic Expo on the 21st and 22nd of this month. If you have never read any of his work, you can pick up a copy by clicking the above image, so you can have something for him to sign.

The list of guests seems to keep growing too, so if you're a fan of comics you should keep checking their web-site for updates and make sure you grab tickets for their first big one in New Jersey. If you missed the trailer for Preacher, check it out below:

Better Late Than Never Review: All The Phantasm Movies

By
The Phantasm Series Shows Players Riding Out Their Passions I just recently watched all the Phantasm movies.  I watched the entire franchise in two days after not seeing any of the films since I was a kid. I know things are opening up and the weather is nice, but we're not quite out of the COVID-19 woods yet. Since that is the case I am still re-watching old horror flicks and catching ones I might have missed . The Phantasm series stretches to almost 40 years of horror, beginning in what I feel was the best time for horror films, the 80s. The first one, Phantasm (1979) came out when I was still wet behind the ears, barely a kid. I didn't even set eyes on it until the early 80s. All I could remember about the movie was "The Tall Man,' played by Angus Scrimm in all the films, those flying chrome-plated death spheres, and little dudes in cans.  Along with Scrimm, the film stars Michael Baldwin, Bill Thornberry, and Reggie Bannister. Baldwin plays Mike Pearson, who is the...

Brush Fire and How I Finished My First Novella

By
Brush Fire is the first of many stories that I hope to write. Photo by Patrick Fore on Unsplash Some years ago, in 2015 I attended the NJ Comic Expo . I was covering it for this site, to gain experience and get my feet wet covering events since it was something I knew I wanted to do for my freelance work. Writing is something I never thought I would get into, but I fell into it through my love for martial arts, reading, and film. It's why I made this site, so I can write about the things I love. By looking for things to write about, I found that my love for reading balances out with my love of writing. Usually, I do one, then the other but a lot of the writing I do is inspired by the work I do for combat sports. I don't want to be a one-trick pony. I want to evolve my writing and I'm always looking for ways to get better.  Some of my favorite stories in various mediums come from Stephen King . So, when I went looking for instruction on how he writes, I found his book ...

Sony ZV-1 Field Tested

By
Photo by Ravi Palwe on Unsplash I got to field test the Sony ZV-1 camera outside of just using it for streaming and let me tell you, this is a great camera for folks that want to get into video content. A few weeks ago I was back at my first event covering MMA since COVID-19 hit when I went to cover Bellator 282 for MyMMANews.com. After over 2 years of covering events remotely through ZOOM it was time to get back on the road. Not traveling left me with time to invest in equipment for covering events on the road.  Previously I used a Go PRO Hero 5 with a mic attachment, which worked well a while but had its limitations. Check out this interview with Valerie Loureda from 2019: During the two years of being stuck at home, I focused on what I could from there and decided since I was saving so much money from not going anywhere, I'd invest in better equipment. So, I got a stronger laptop to handle video content, and I picked up the Sony ZV-1. It was initially just to get a better...
