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.”

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:>


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.
