Rapture Ready Comics: ‘Dies Illa’ from Wasteland #3

There’s a lot of chatter about an event that may or may not happen tomorrow.

(SPOILER: It won’t happen. See Matthew 24:36 and Mark 13:32.)

For what will become obvious reasons, it reminded me of this story from John Ostrander and David Lloyd from Wasteland #3, February 1988 from DC Comics.

As for me, I plan to spend Friday night going out and leaving strategically placed piles of clothes and shoes.

C2E2 Floor Report: Unshaven Comics

Hello all! I know it’s been a good long while since we chatted. Allow me back into your hearts, and I shall tell you a tale. Unshaven Comics, for those not-in-the-know, is the small independent publishing company I am co-owner of. Unshaven Comics is myself, and my two best friends, Matt Wright and Kyle Gnepper. We formed back in 2007 when we were commissioned to create our first published work… “The March: Crossing Bridges in America”. We released the book in 2008 at the Wizard World Chicago, and sold our butts off. One of our customers? Mike Gold. Yup, that Mike Gold. And soon thereafter… well, you see my name on this site from time to time, so you get the picture.

Let’s jump ahead a couple years, shall we? While we liked doing our debut book… we craved the world of fiction. Thus, we launched “Disposable Razors”… a 3 part anthology series that allowed we Unshaven Lads the opportunity to explore the genres we love. At C2E2 (That’s the Chicago Comics Entertainment Expo) last year, we debuted issue 1. Matt and I got married. No to each other. And then we got houses. Not next to each other, but close. And Kyle moved into his own pad not far away either. Life got in the way, but not enough to stop us from creating. This year, we were proud to start our 2011 convention circuit with issue 2. And here’s where our real story begins.

Kickstarter Funds The Definitive Edition of Huckleberry Finn

Kickstarter Funds The Definitive Edition of Huckleberry Finn

Artist Denise Devine is altering E.W. Kemble’s original illustrations from the first edition of the book to remove Jim and replace him with Robot Jim.

Recently an international controversy and debate broke out when NewSouth Books decided to publish a version of the Mark Twain classic, “Huckleberry Finn,” replacing all instances of the word “nigger” with the word “slave.”  ComicMix editor Mike Gold described this as a “castrated version.”

Luckily, there is a new, soon-to-be published version of Huck Finn that addresses the offensive nature of the n-word, while maintaining (and even exceeding) the spirit of the classic Twain novel.

Neil Gaiman has described this version as, “the definitively politically correct Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.”  This project was proposed on Kickstarter.com as, Replacing the “N-word” with “Robot” in Huck Finn.  It is, “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Robotic Edition.”

From the Kickstarter proposal:

We’re editing a new version of Mark Twain’s “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” that won’t be bogged down with what Mark Twain was trying to say about racism.

In part, thanks to Mr. Gaiman’s contribution of $80 and tweeting about it, in just two days, the project has surpassed its goal of raising six thousand dollars.  And you still have until March 10, 2011 to donate to the cause to get your own copy of the book when it’s printed.
