Cable monsters.

I got cable! Well almost. they will be turning on the basic package today. I can watch BSG and college football from the comfort of my own couch hopefully starting tonight. The only scary thing is it really screwed up my internet for a couple of hours last night. I really hate cable prices. The day I buy a house, the ole satellite dish is going up right away.

In other news Peas Page 9 is up.

Introducing The Present

The Present by Jessica White is the second in our Artist Poster series. It should be available in September. A page will appear on luckycreature.com this week for preorders. We are very excited to add this poster to the Artist Poster Series.
About the piece Jessica writes

"it was one in a series of drawings I made that echo images of old children's book illustrations, and the slightly scary or sinister side to them. I made these to inspire creativity in anyone looking at them, and I like to think of them as "illustrations for stories that haven't yet been written". They're like invitations to viewers to write that story when they see the drawing."

Peas Stuffed.

For my birthday today I got these awesome amigurumi Peas of Bob and Sally that Jessica made. Awesome. 3-d Peas to be my model for drawing. :> anyway, yipee!

leaving bread crumbs.

new unnanounced poster out in september. hahahahahaha!!! bet you wish you could see it.

Web Updates Galore.

Just put up a new page of Peas, plus Hisworld/Herworld is available for preorder plus in honor of myself and my birthday on Sunday I've reduced the price of my split with the wonderful Brendan Odonnell to $2. If your at a loss to what you should get me Sunday, how about buying something from the Lucky Creature store front for your self. It's the best gift you can give me:>

hisworld/herworld # 8 cover image

Heck yeah, the cover for hisworld herworld #8. Isn't it awesome!

Astonishing X-Men #22. Wow. that last three pages just hit so hard. If Joss Whedon doesn't get back to scripting film soon then it's a real shame. This book is the most cinematic the X-men have ever been and they all just feel so right. Seriously, when Whedon leaves comics, which all indicators point to soon, the film world better be ready. John Cassady's art is superb as well. APLUS best single issue I've read in quite some time.

hey i can plead again.

Tommorow, along with my fresh copy of Bioshock I am picking up the Serenity Collector's edition DVD. This is the only time I have bought a dvd I already own a version of and here's why. It's one of the best movies for just plain watching. It has wonderful packaging, and just possibly if enough people rebuy this dvd, we will get more Serenity/Firefly. I asked you all to go see this in the theatre. I asked you to buy the first dvd. If you didn't do either of these, YOU OWE ME. It's going for about 17.99 at most big boxes tommorow. The best twenty bucks you could spend on something SHINY!

Movies!

Saw two movies this weekend. Both of them are o.k. for what they are but neither extremely outstanding. Stardust based on the book by Neil Gaiman is a wonderful throwback to the fantasy films of the 1980's which relied more on story than the LOTR spectacles we have been hit with over the past few years. It plays pretty well and Robert Deniro is wonderful in his role. A pretty good movie that I can see being better with age.


Superbad on the other hand is a one off comedy that tries to capture the old American Pie formula which in itself was trying to capture the teen movies of the 1980's. It succeeds at moments but it really doesn't make you care about the leads at all. Mclovin and his cop friends steal the show and their moments are the best parts of the movie.

COMICS!

Loveless # 19. Wow. finally the story gets going again. I was slowly giving up on this book but not now. Tight story telling and the art is back at top form.


The Immortal Iron Fist. Hardcover collecting the first six issues. If you would have told me that in 2007 two of marvel's coolest characthers would be Luke Cage and Iron Fist I would have laughed. Brian Bendis made Cage relevant again and this is what Matt Fraction and Ed Brubaker have done with Iron Fist. A must for any fan of Martial Arts comics.


Anders Nilsen's Dogs and Water is sparse in it's renderings and it's pacing is almost dreamlike. He leaves alot for the reader to figure out and that is quite alright. One of the better indie books I've seen this year.

peas page 7 is up!

Part two of our mini pirate story is up. We are running seven weeks in a row. I am going to draw next week's comic today. yipee! Look for a bunch of comic reviews either later today or tommorow. Peas Out!

It's always sunny.

One of my favorite comedies of the past few years which i've only seen about six times is It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I wish it wasn't on cable but then it probably would have been canceled by now. You can see the season 3 premiere for free right now on this Myspace site Enjoy.

Lucky News

We are about a week away from releasing the new his world/her world #8. it rocks. There are a few spots still left open in lucky creature attacks #2, the key word being few so if your interested get on board, now. I will be working on a top secret project the first week of september and hopefully it will launch that same week. Been very busy. hope all is well.

Bioshock demo wows.

This is how you make games as art. Make it still a game and yet add sooo much atmosphere, like the jazz and the posters and other things that you feel like your watching a movie. A really great movie. Granted I had really great hopes for this game to begin with, but after playing through it the only thing I can say is it's very immersive. That freaking plane through the glass tunnel was awesome and the water effects are amazing. My only concern is that the game may end up being to hard for me. I did the demo on medium but I think I will play through it on easy when it hits retail. Id hate to end up missing the beauty of this world of rapture they've created because I was dying too much. Bioshock even though its not horror like the resident evils, it may truly be the game to scare me. It's already pretty unnerving watching the Big Daddy's and the little sisters. If the game lives up to the demo, we may have our game of the year out on Aug 21st.

a full weekend of anime

back from anime iowa 07 woooh.,. so much anime. glad to be back to some sense of normalcy. I will be posting pictures over on Con-News this week.

Peas! and Pirates.

Inspired by the peas shirts my brother sent me, the next two weeks deal with Pirate Pea, New page is up NOW Since ill be gone most of the weekend thought I'd go ahead and get it up. enjoy.

of coasters and survival.

Jess made me a great coaster so that I wont risk ruining another keyboard with my unexplainable need to always have some form of drink around the computer at all times. Hopefully that tempers that. We completed two more pages of His World Her World tonight. It should be our best issue yet. So good in fact you may want to hide the pets and break out the sake to celebrate with us.
I'm heading to Anime Iowa this weekend to realize how old I am. Anime cons are the cons where you deal with people anywhere from 8 to well my age. Im old at this con and that's just weird. But I'm o.k. with that, because it means Im the hip 'old' guy. UGHH... That was painful to write. That's alright though because this year there is a track of panels for old anime. Meaning the stuff I actually remember and not Naruto, or Fullmetal. Stuff that came out before the internet and you paid twenty dollars for 30 mins of animation. What world were we living in when $20 seemed reasonible for an episode of Tenchi Muyo? On VHS? anyway this is my second trip to Anime Iowa and it's only ten minutes down the road at the beautiful new Marriot. Bring the Pocky, Im ready.

Bourne Ultimatum

Just saw Bourne 3, very much like the first two, and that's a good thing. Some good chase scenes and one very good fight. A very nice way to start to wind down the summer.

Another Peas comic is up!

I can bring you word that page 5 of PEAS is up. Looks like we will be able to get a new page up every friday. What a great way to start the weekend. Enjoy.
Also I can confirm that a new issue of His world/ Her World is being made right now.

movies and comics

Sunshine is a great old fashion scifi film for the first hour and a half, and then it becomes a weird horror film. Overall its pretty good and it's nice to see a science fiction film that doesn't rely on explosion after explosion. And Chris Evans can act. Should have never been in Fantastic Four.

New Warriors # 3 So much tech here, you have to wonder when Stark and his shield boys will come down hard on the group. Its a nice ride in the post civil war universe.

Sea Of Red finished the first two trades. One too go. Vampires and Pirates, can you go wrong much?

August Movies showdown

Oh August, the time of year when things shift from explosions to comedy to october's horror/oscar movies, back to the new winter explosion season. Well theres not much better than Bourne when it comes to action so this is a nice way to start the month.



Then there is Neil Gaiman
s Stardust, This is the movie Matthew Vaughan left xmen 3 for and it looks so darn terry gilliam I can't believe it.





The King of Kong is awesome documentary about Billy Mitchell and his competetion to be the best. At donkey kong. check out the trailer. you will want to see this.







And for our nonsense movie of the month, we could go with Superbad, or Rush Hour 3, but I think Christopher Walken seals it for us. Balls of Fury for sure.
