A Little Taste of Renaissance
November 19, 2009Remember that event I wrote about two entries ago? People didn’t really get that and I got asked some questions I wasn’t sure if I should answer. Dude who’s organizing this amazing blockbuster of an event is kind enough to share with me some information and give me permission to give my readers a little taste of what’s to come. Come really hard.
Here’s a very small fraction of the people who are going to showcase their talent at this event. Remember, this is all for a good cause.
Philip Tan- This guy’s talent is phenomenal. He recently did Agent Orange, the Green Lantern story, which was fucking bad ass, and the new Batman and Robin starting issue 4, methinks. And the action in those panels, ladies and gentlemen, almost flew out of the page and punched me in the FACE! Also, naked Dick and Damien.
Comic of the Week: Strange #1
Before I even begin to talk about the issue, I think it’s fair to let you know about how much I fucking love Dr. Strange. Yes, he’s the deus ex machina of the Marvel Universe, but I still effin’ love the guy.
When I was starting to collect the 6″ Marvel Legends figures, the ones on my must-have list were Daredevil, Cyclops, Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Iron Fist and Dr. Strange. Yes, motherfucker, Dr. Stephen “Fucking Sorcerer Supreme” Strange. My wish list for Marvel Universe characters include Dr. Strange in a new costume, hopefully. I loved the animated Dr. Strange movie, regardless of the mucus-like thickness of incestuous innuendo. And I remember reading Dr. Strange: The Oath over four times. Dr. Strange beats out the Enchanted Kingdom wizard guy, Gandalf the Gray and Gandalf the White in keeping the magic where he is.
When Dr. Strange lost his Sorcerer Supreme gig, I was tweedling my thumbs in anticipation of what was next for him. With Brother Voodoo being responsible for the entire realm, Dr. Strange can just chill and fight demons at his leisure. That’s where Strange #1 comes in. Apparently, losing his Sorcerer Supreme job also cost him his medical license and cannot be called Dr. anymore.
