Back from Kinokuniya
Bought two volumes today, the Starman Omnibus Vol. 1 and the OMAC: One Man Army Corps omnibuses. So far I haven’t been able to read much of them, but from what I’ve seen they contain a high level of awesomeness in unhealthy doses.
For instance, OMAC says: “I’m OMAC! Evacuate this section, I’m going to destroy it!” on his first appearance. No explanation, he just shows up and says this, with his daft looking haircut and blue outfit.
I mean who DOES THAT? I have never seen a comic book hero do that in my life. Not even Superman does that. Besides, he’s too polite. Perhaps I should read more to find out how OMAC got to that point in the story in the following pages.
As for the Starman Omnibus, there’s apparently going to be six of these hefty bricks to collect, which means it will cost me a pretty penny to find out what happens in the end. Oh well, the book is nice and the artwork doesn’t look like it was drawn as a webcomic, they actually tried with this one. And having looked through some of it I think they succeeded.
Having posted my current thoughts on the two tomes I will go to my bed and read them. Hope they stay fresh.
It’s Not an Anime Blog! But It’s My Other Stuff I Like!
This is the new space I have to talk about things that are not related to Anime. My Anime blog, Asperger’s Anime Blog, is where I usually talk about Anime, but I haven’t had a space to talk about other things as well for a long time.
Here is where I’ll be talking about what I think is good illustration, my art practice, and general things that wouldn’t fit in an Anime blog. Hopefully my Aniblogosphere buddies visit because it would be interesting to see what they like that isn’t just talking about big eyed bishonen characters.
I appreciate music, and also books, both illustrated and non-illustrated. Before I started blogging about Anime with my other blog I was a big fan of the Graphic Novel, and as I grew to appreciate Manga despite it being black and white my illustration became a blending of the capabilities of these two art styles. So you’ll see a few page pictures from comics that my good acquaintance Chris Sims covers if they meet the “Awesome Imperial Standard”.
Anyways, just letting you know about this new side-blog I have before I go to bed.
