Review: Rapid-Fire Reviews 33 1/3 – The Smell of Fear

Or – “Of Course I’m Serious. And Don’t Call Me Shirley.”

 

Oh say can you see…
By the dawn’s early light!
What so proudly we hail…
In the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose bright stripes and broad stars,
In the perilous night…
For the ramparts we watched,
uh, da-da-da-da-da-daaaa…
And the rocket’s red glare!
Buncha bombs in the air!
Gave proof to the night!
That we still had our flag!
Oh say does that flag banner wave,
Over a-a-all that’s free!
And the home of the land…
And the land of the – FREE!

The Most Rare Variant

steverude13covers.jpgSteve Rude is set to release 13 Variant covers to his upcoming book Steve Rude: Artist in Motion. Thirteen covers doesn’t sound like a big deal until you realize there are only going to be 13 copies published, with 12 for sale to the public. What makes the covers so special? Each cover is a unique original watercolor bound to the book.

Prices aren’t cheap, each book will range between $300 and $500 depending on the artwork inside.

There is a reservation list for those interested in purchasing one of the copies. Five are already on the list, and interested parties can contact John Fleskes at info@fleskpublications.com.

Nexus #99

Or – “Further Proof That Tom Grice Is WRONG, Sir!  WRONG!”

Nex10.jpg

Welcome to Bruce Otter Friday, the day where we do everything we can to steal away the disposable income of former comic fan, Bruce Otter!  I’ve always said that no one’s opinion can really be incorrect, as opinion is merely the statement of the facts as you’ve experienced them.  “I think that Actress X is attractive” is an opinion, with the only truly valid counter-statement being “I think Actress X is NOT attractive.”  A common problem comes when people mistake the statement “I think Actress X is not attractive” as interchangable with the statement “Actress X is not attractive.”  This is most emphatically NOT the case.  So when Tommy started needling me about his belief that Nexus “sucks,” I had to take it with a grain of salt.  Whatever issues of Nexus he may have read obviously didn’t work for him.  Luckily, we all know the aphorism regarding Tommy’s veracity, but what evidence exists to support MY opinion?
