A sign of quality!

Every now and then for no reason at all the trailer for SIN CITY will just pop into my head. Still one of the best trailers for a film. youtube.com/watch?v=T2Dj6ktP…

Eating peanuts. Salted shell and all-- well, half a full shell is high risk peanut snacking behavior.

Last fall I marked June 8 as the start of my venture into full-time illustration. For at least 14 months, I'm out of the classroom and fully devoted to drawing. Some for clients, some of my own myth & fable projects. Wish me well as I try to support the family by the pencil. I set the alarm for 5am but was down in the studio by 4:30. Too excited. Going straight into client work. If you're interested in discussing a project, message me here or (more reliably) go to jordanholt.art and use the contact form.

Why get imitation 90s edgy/extreme comics when you can just go and get comics like the Jae Lee run of Namor and the Adam Kubert run on Ghost Rider/Blaze: Spirits of Vengeance. As well as comics like Spawn from the time which has been published in compendium editions.

Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again by Frank Miller

I'll go with the season 2 finale of The X-Files, the first time a cliffhanger made me hate having to wait until the Fall to catch what happens next.

Weapon X by Barry Windsor-Smith is the only Wolverine origin comic that was ever needed. An existence of blood, and pain.

On June 5, 1992 “Split Second” was released in theatres in the United Kingdom! Directed by Tony Maylam (The Burning)

Acknowledging something is stupid while doing it, doesn't make it any less stupid.

How about you combine "The Demon With A Glass Hand" about a 'man' sent back in time that will save the human race and "Soldier" about a future war/warrior ends up in modern day bringing his war with him, both by Harlan Ellison you could call it--

I think Howard Chaykin is the source of the observation that "Every Jim Starlin comic is about death" and once I read that I can't unsee it. Death of Captain Marvel, Dreadstar, Cosmic Odyssey, Infinity Gauntlet, Death of the New Gods, etc.

Rewatching the original Battlestar Galactica and something stands out, the amount of swiping from films for story content. You have swipes from The Towering Inferno, The Guns of Navarone, The Magnificent Seven, even Shane with a Cylon in the role of Jack Palance.

Rewatched the series DARK SKIES from 1996 and it was what I wanted at the time. Alien conspiracy. No monster of the week just aliens all the time. Shame it didn't do well enough to get a further seasons but when the show works, it works.

Cover to Team Yankee #6 of 6 by Rod Whigham from First Comics, Feb. 1989 Seeing this makes me want to replay some Fallout.

Somewhat related is how the Callisto in the X-Men TAS tie-in comic that was aimed at kids was more attractive than any other version of the character. From X-Men Adventures Vol. 3 #1 Art by Manny Clark and James Pascoe

Is the Chuck Austen run of Uncanny X-Men the best run of all time? No, no way. Though it does have two things I do love. Juggernaut and Sammy the Squid-Boy as a surrogate father and son, and Kia Asamiya on art. The rest of it is-- a mess, to say the least.

The Noid takes no prisoners.
