In this edition, we rejoin The World of Tomorrow, a comic we discussed the first issue of five years ago!

Now writer Giles Clarke has sent us the second and … Continue reading Critiquing Comics #233: “The World of Tomorrow” and “Prism Stalker”

Another month, another comic book book of that month for our club. This time we take a look at Sloane Leong's "Prism Stalker" which is a fun look at what makes humanity bad in beautifully vibrant colors. We also revisit Lep in the hood and what may or may not have happened to Post Master P - I'll give you a hint, it doesn't sound particularly comfy. @Nerdaplexypod www.nerdaplexy.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nerdaplexy/support

This Saturday, we invited VC's Ariana Maher, letterer on S.W.O.R.D., Demon Days: X-Men, Marvel's Voices: Indigenous Voices, Hellions, Silk, Prism Stalker, Firebug, Nubia: Real One... and like hundred other incredible comic series.

Nerd Escape experiences the displacing Image Comics title Prism Stalker from creator (writer and artist) Sloane Leong, letterer Ariana Maher, and logo designer Darius Ou. Prism Stalker is a unique sci-fi fantasy story that is told through new and unfamiliar ideas about culture displacement and a psychedelic kalidescope of art work and colors, yet this description of Prism Stalker is only just scratching the surface of the theme of the story. Your host Jublar and Cami walk you through the strange and exotic world of Prism Stalker where a space refugee character named Vep is recruited by a military academy named The Chorus to help colonize and combat the newly discovered telekinetic planet of Eriatarka. This planet uses its ecology and pneuma energy source to fight back The Chorus invading colonizers, and Vep and the other recruits train in physical and mental combat utilizing the pneuma energy as well. With the character Vep struggling through Chorus training, culture displacement, and an identity crisis Nerd Escape hosts ask themselves if they have experience culture displacement in their own lives, and if they could handle the rigorous training and pressure that Vep is experiencing at the Chorus Academy.

On Comic Book Herald’s ‘Creannotators’ I’ll be interviewing some of my favorite creators in comics about specific runs, graphic novels or series, […] The post Creannotators #16: “A Map To The Sun” With Sloane Leong appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

Sloane Leong was kind enough to chat with us about her work, comics, Tony Scott, David Cronenberg & more. Is a writer, cartoonist artist who creates work that is vivid colorful and vibrant.

THAT WAS PATROL, THIS IS THE WAR Listen, can you do me a favour? It would really help me out if you just imagined that there’s a really good blurb here. Something wry, funny and a bit surreal. Something to cause a smile to flicker across those cherry lips of yours? Becuase frankly I just don’t have the time today to put the necessary graft in. So it would really help me out if you could just cut me some slack this once, and just scrunch your eyes closed and just…imagine. Imagine that this is the blurb you’ve always dreamt of. It’s a SILENCE! And not just any old SILENCE! but a SILENCE! featuring your old pals Gary Lactus & The Beast Must Die. Come to drop a comics plopsy right in your tea. Admin, Dadmin, sponsorship and some honest to goodness SILENCE! News?? Right here effendi. Hot takes on the latest Rob Liefeld and Neil Gaiman announcements. Suddenly… THE REVIEWNIVERSE! Comics old and new are ingurgitated: World Without End, The Beef, Shade The Changing Woman, Ragman, The Highest House, Gideon Falls, Oblivion Song, The Spider King, Prism Stalker and more.

The lives of a reclusive young man obsessed with a conspiracy in the city’s trash, and a washed-up Catholic priest arriving in a small town full of dark secrets, become intertwined around the mysterious legend of TheBlack Barn, an otherworldly building that is alleged to have appeared in both the city and the small town, throughout history, bringing death and madness in its wake. Rural mystery and urban horror collide in this character-driven meditation on obsession, mental illness, and faith.                   (Rod's Pick) PRISM STALKER from Image Comics          Story / Art: Sloane Leong        PRISM STALKER, an ongoing sci-fi adventure series by SLOANE LEONG.

Her duty is to her family and her siblings, but what more can she do for them here? The answer appears faster than she is ready for.              (Rebekah's Pick) SHADE THE CHANGING WOMAN from DC's Young Animal                 Written by: Cecil Castellucci    Art by:    Marley Zarcone                     Shade has shed her alien identity. She’s stepped out of her original Earth body and into another one. Now, free of the burdens of any past life, and finally on her own,she sets out to see more of her new home. But how does she cope when the madness takes all the human emotions she was forced to confront in the Milk Wars and turns them into a bouillabaisse of memory and confusion? And to make it even more challenging, Shade must also face her namesake, the original Changing Man.                                                                                                                              (Brian's Pick) OBLIVION SONG from Robert Kirkman                                          Story: Robert Kirkman     Art: Lorenzo De Felici                                             A decade ago, 300,000 citizens of Philadelphia were suddenly lost in Oblivion. The government made every attempt to recover them, but after many years, they gave up. Nathan Cole...won't. He makes daily trips, risking his life to try and rescue those still living in the apocalyptic hellscape of Oblivion. But maybe...Nathan is looking for something else? Why can't he resist the siren call of the Oblivion Song?

Happy New Year from The Comics Alternative! To help bring in 2018, Gwen and Derek are back to meticulously go through the January Previews catalog, providing recommendations and insights on a variety of upcoming titles. This month's catalog is jam-packed with great solicits, so many, in fact, that this becomes an extra-long episode. They begin by looking at the various offerings announced for this year's Free Comic Book Day, and then they move on to the catalog proper.
