With the Ward idea, it would be interesting which draft they would go off for comics as only the very first draft is online Yeah, I wonder if we'd get a Wrath of Khan situation where they take the best elements of all versions and compile them together. There's a thought... If Dark Horse roped you into overseeing the adaptation, which artist do you think would do most justice to the Arceron imagery?

I'd have to get either Tristan Jones or Den Beavais. They'd both bring different styles to it but would both capture what it could/should look like

Tristan Jones has a "grit of the razor's edge" style to his linework and I was thinking of Den Beavais as well. He's got that really expressive range of colour to emphasise light and shape, it'd look gorgeous for the glassworks casting that furnace-light across the ancient wood.

Firefly #1. I just discovered this title while browsing at the store and picked up #1 & 2
The Green Lantern #4. The retro artwork is really good, and I can appreciate what they're doing with the character, except that they're not doing it very well. The storyline in #1 also felt garbled, so I'm not sure yet how I feel overall about the current run.

I’ve read some of those. The one about Book’s background was interesting.

A reread of The Tides of Time, the Fifth Doctor comics from DWM. I'd forgotten that The Stockbridge Horror had put Five on trial for his actions as well (making a grand total of three, possibly four times the Doctor's been brought to a Gallifreyan court). Here, it's by decree of Rassilon himself. There are two particular stories I want to talk about in more detail, though: The Tides of Time - The comic's first attempt at really carving a bit of the show's mythos for itself with the introduction of Stockbridge, Sir Justin, Shayde and the Matrix Lords. It's epic in the sense of Ben Hur, as the Doctor struggles against the irrationality of a corrupted Event Synthesiser wielded by a malign influence. There's something gorgeous in the idea that the causal nexus is held together by monks chanting algebra and a man older than the weft of darkest space writing music. All these little touchstones holding each dimension in simpatico. The idea of a private intelligentsia inside the Matrix is a novel one (and even based in established TV lore, The Invasion of Time), offering the explanation that Gallifrey is perhaps governed just as much by secret societies as its Presidency. In their fight against Melanicus, it's rationality against irrationality. Logic against illogic. A war spanning countless time zones on countless worlds.
Lunar Lagoon - The polar opposite of Tides, but no less affecting. A deeply personal, deeply quiet story about the Fifth Doctor and a Japanese soldier, Fuji, in the Pacific. Aside from a dogfight in the middle, there's very little action to speak of. It's all about the growing dynamic between the two men. The imprisoned Doctor, not sure how to tell him the war is over, and Fugi, who fights on just as much because of his personal character as his duty. Steve Parkhouse's stories tended to diverge significantly from what was Who was doing on television at the time due to personal tastes, but it certainly wasn't to the comic's detriment. It's a very mature and honest examination of a quiet moment in the world. Two drifters with a tragic ending that hinges, rather ironically, on the fallibility of the Fifth Doctor's pacifism. Perhaps it wasn't so different from the televised series, after all?

Today was a big catch-up day for me; the two most recent issues of The Walking Dead and the eight most recent Star Wars comics from the last few weeks. I tend to get a bit behind

Hahaha, I have 35 years of Bat-comics I haven't gotten around to yet. Not actually reading a lot of comics but still trying to re-discover them (and wondering if I will ever understand what DC or Marvel have done to their very universes in my absence). Was looking at bibliographies for favorites artists from back in the day - Neal Adams and Gil Kane mainly - trying to see what they might have done over the years that I missed out on. As much as I think of Neal Adams, I'm still just as amazed by the quality of Kane's work since the Silver Age started. It was interesting to finally get to see examples of Kane's work from the 40s and early 50s online and to see how much it resembles more typical comic artistry of its time - and then sometime during the 50s he seems to have somehow blossomed into his distinctive and dynamic style almost as if out of the blue. There must be a story behind what happened there and I wish I knew it. Does anyone know more about this? I was exchanging e-mails with a friend of mine, I guess our lives sort of run in parallel when it comes to comics, we were both very into them as kids and wanted to draw them in high school before falling out of the loop. I mentioned Gil Kane to him and his first reminiscence was about the way Kane drew people's noses, which is precisely the first thing I would have said especially after seeing some examples of his work again recently. It's amazing to be able communicate with someone about anything and know exactly what they're talking about like that.

I haven't actually read them, but I after especially careful scouring of a list of DC Comics titles, I was delighted to discover there were still a few more Golden Age comics than I knew about. (As I kid I had a copy of The Comic Book Price Guide and used to study the thing enthusiastically).
I knew about all kinds of obscure titles like the two issues of New York World's Fair Comics or Sub-Mariner's intended debut in Motion Picture Funnies Weekly, but I never knew about Leading Comics that had a dozen or so issues with The Seven Soldiers of Victory, or the issue of The Big All-American Comic Book with members from the JSA. I don't know how they got by me, but it's fun making new discoveries about old comics.
Also found out about Cancelled Comic Cavalcade while looking up The Creeper, and come to think of it I was very pleasantly surprised to discover there were a few issues of Namora from the Golden Age.
