NYCC 2013: NARR8

NYCC 2013: NARR8

At NYCC this year we had the opportunity to meet the people who represent NARR8. It was billed as a motion comic book, but when getting our hands on the app it felt like something more. The app played like one part book,one part game and one part awesomeness.
It was clear that it was far more interactive and educational. Yet at the same time fun, with a solid library for kids and adults alike. If we get our hands on a press release version of the app we will give a full review.

Check out the video below from NYCC 2013.

Japan the Otaku show: Anime designs 90s vs 10s

Posted on Danny Choo’s Facebook page. This model sheet shows the transition from the old ways to the new “Streamed line” way of drawing Anime girls

I really miss the old style it had a ton more detail that now has become so super simple that it looses all its charm and flair.

I personally miss the old school eye designs. The lack of detail on the hair is also a disappointing feature.

Anime hair was never really detailed but they have completely gone crazy with the new style. It’s almost all just a outline and color. the hair also looks so limp and lacks a ton of action.

PRIEST & M.D. BRIGHT Reunite for New QUANTUM AND WOODY Mini-Series – Coming in 2014 from VALIANT

PRIEST & M.D. BRIGHT Reunite for New QUANTUM AND WOODY Mini-Series  – Coming in 2014 from VALIANT

Q2_001_crop

Valiant is proud to announce that Christopher Priest and M.D. Bright, the acclaimed creators of Quantum and Woody, will reunite for Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody – an all-new, five-issue mini-series bringing the original world’s worst superhero team into the 21st century!
Set wholly in the original continuity of Priest and Bright’s groundbreaking Acclaim Comics series, the new mini – which represents the return of both creators to monthly comics – will pick up in the modern day, launching an older Quantum and Woody into an all-new adventure set 20 years after the events of their original series.
“Soon as Doc and I started hashing out the plotline, we got into a huge argument. It was just like old times. Happy to be back on the goat,” said Priest.
“It’s enormously exciting to have Priest and Doc return to the iconic characters they made famous,” said Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons. “Over the years, the legend of the original series has only grown, and they’re about to unleash a fearless new chapter in the lives of Quantum and Woody.”
Whatever happened to the world’s worst superhero team? Twenty years past their prime, the unlikely crime-fighting duo known as Quantum and Woody have long since parted ways and retired…until a middle-aged Quantum suddenly reappears with a brand-new teenage partner—and his wisecracking ex-best friend gets mad. Now Woody is out to break up the all-new, all-different Quantum and Woody and put an end to Quantum’s recklessness and child endangerment…just as Quantum sets out to bring down a shadowy, globe-spanning agency of freelance spies and assassins. As Quantum’s plan crumbles right through Woody’s fingers, will the former friends set aside their differences…and their age…and their numerous health difficulties…to join forces one last time without driving each other crazy?
A veteran writer and editor with more than 35 years experience in the comic book industry, Christopher J. Priest has written nearly every major character in comics, with notable runs on series including Action Comics, Amazing Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain America, Conan the Barbarian, Deadpool, and many more.
M.D. Bright began his career in comics in 1978 and has worked consistently on some of the industry’s most popular and enduring titles ever since. One of the all-time definitive artists of Green Lantern, Iron Man, and G.I. Joe, Bright has also contributed to Batman, Captain America, Thor, Wonder Woman and countless others.
