DYNAMITE fuse lit at the New Jersey Comic Expo

By


One of the featured guests at the New Jersey Comic Expo was Garth Ennis, he was on hand to promote his work with DYNAMITE. The New Jersey based publication has put out a lot of the famed writer's work and is still doing so with his latest, "A Train Called Love". The company is also releasing James Bond comics after the success of the Spectre  film this month.



The latest from Ennis is a pretty funny adult themed, action/comedy. It was reminiscent of the film The Big Hit, with Mark Wahlburg and the language and humor is right up the alley for what Ennis is known for. If you were a fan of Barracuda from his run on "The Punisher:MAX" this is one you want to read. It has a lot of the same funny banter between characters that will seem familiar if you liked that story-line. "A Train Called Love", is new and should be on issue two by now. If you are looking for the latest from Garth Ennis, this is exactly what you have been waiting for.

Written by Warren Ellis, "VARGR" is the first in on going James Bond stories DYNAMITE will be putting out that should keep fans of the famous spy happy until the next film is released. It has Bond returning to London, looking into the death of a fellow agent. The artwork is in line with recent posters for the films and makes you think of all the cool intros every bond film ever had, a really good looking comic.

Outside of the work of Ennis, we had not really known much of what DYNAMITE was putting out. However, after leaving the expo we packed up on stuff we didn't even know about and look forward to reading more of what they have planned in the future. There is even a comic called "Cage Hero" that caught our eye because of the MMA themed cover. We have not read it yet, but we'll be sure to check it out since we cover the sport here and at Page 2 Sports.

The New Jersey Comic Expo was the first show at the central NJ location and made for a completely awesome weekend. You can read more about that here.

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...
