ESO Episode 102: Reboots, Reimaginings, Remakes & Relaunches. Oh my!

This week, the Earth Station One podcast tackles a topic that pulp fans can understand and sympathize with. That’s right. They’re talking Reboots, Reimaginings, Remakes & Relaunches. Oh my!

Stop if you’ve heard this one before! The ESO crew gets deja vu all over again as we discuss the hot button topic of remakes in TV, movies, comic books, and more. Are they just money grabs or is imitation indeed the sincerest form of flattery? Mike Faber, Mike Gordon, and Bobby Nash point out the good, bad, and completely unnecessary. We also talk to Rebecca Perry about her spine-tingling experiences at the Days of the Dead show in Atlanta and artist Anthony Owlsey takes a turn in The Geek Seat. All this, plus the usual Rants, Raves, Shout Outs and Khan report!

New Pulp Author, Martin Powell shared the news of a team up he’s writing featuring pulp heroes The Spider and Operator 5.

“Well, I thought I was done with THE SPIDER,” Powell said. “Until I was approached a few days ago to write a historic first-time-ever team-up prose novella of THE SPIDER with OPERATOR 5. This will be featured in Moonstone’s upcoming OPERATOR 5 anthology, along with other thrill-a-second adventures from some of the finest pulp authors today. I’m dedicating my tale to the memory of the late Howard Hopkins, a great friend and brilliant writer, who surely would have been included in this volume. This one is for you, pal.”

STEEL CITY NOIR

STEEL CITY NOIR

Art: Dave Stokes

Writer, Vito Delsante’s new noir pulp story, Tonight Down By The River debuts at http://welcometotripcity.com/2012/02/tonight-down-by-the-river/

In Tonight, Down By The River, a rendevouz leads to murder.

Art: Dave Stokes
She wasn’t afraid.
It wasn’t their first date and while she was as nervous as she always was when they met, she wasn’t scared.
She just didn’t want to get caught.
She arrived at their favorite meeting place early, a small bar called Hemingway’s on Forbes Avenue, and she slid into their favorite booth. She didn’t dress conservatively on purpose, choosing a low-cut blouse over the business attire she was more comfortable wearing. The blouse clung to her curves, accentuating her tiny hips and her enhanced bust. The skirt was tight and gave the semblance of a shape where one didn’t exist naturally.

New Pulp’s Table Talk – Turning the Table

Those of you who follow this column know we run a regular “Questions from the Reader” segment every few weeks. Well, the guys like the interaction so much (let’s face it, sitting in an office with nothing but you and your imaginary friends can make a writer very lonely) they decided to try a new spin on it.

This week, Barry Reese, Bobby Nash, and Mike Bullock decided to turn the tables on you, the reader, and pose questions for you to answer. Please pick one (or more) question(s) and respond in the comment field at http://www.newpulpfiction.com/2012/02/table-talk-turning-table.html. When responding, please let the guys know to which question you’re replying so as to avoid confusing them more than life in general already has.

Question #1 (Bobby Nash): There has been a lot of discussion lately on the appeal of pulp and new pulp to modern audiences? What makes you, the reader, want to pick up a classic pulp or new pulp book? Is it characters, publisher, creators, cover art, or something else? What are you looking for in your pulp tales?

Question #2 (Mike Bullock): What do you prefer reading, existing characters in all new stories, or all new characters in new adventures? Or, a mixture of both? Please explain why.

Question #3 (Barry Reese): Are there any genres you feel are currently being neglected in New Pulp? If so, what would you like to see and in what format?
