Finals have got me all bugaboo but that doesn't mean I have to ignore my good readers. First off, the long-awaited Brill/John Hodgman collaboration. Well, not so much a collaboration as much as both are voices show up on the latest Sound of Young America spin-off The Untitled Thorn/Morris Project. It's fun stuff...maximum fun even.
How about twopages from one of the greatest comics Marvel has ever produced What If Vol. 1 #34? Roger Stern and Ed Hannigan wonder what would happen if superhero stories featured the characters just standing around talking to each other. That's crazy, isn't it! Who would have thought of such a thing? The Watcher's right, that kind of stuff could only be for a select audience (inspired by Mr. Church for writing this smart little post)
Finally, the trailer for Trouble Man
As a writer I worry about plotting, pacing and all that nonsense but what I wouldn't give just to write stuff that had that style to it. I suppose I can only hope to be as good as screenwriter John D.F. Black, who also gave us the Star Trek episode "The Naked Time" a.k.a. The One Where Sulu Fences Topless.
