Adventurous Reading: ALTERNATIVE AIR ADVENTURES

By pghhead -

from the official press release . . . . . .
 
One of the most intriguing genres in Classic Pulp Fiction focused on Aviation, the machines that conquered the skies and the people who flew them.  Pro Se Productions makes its mark on that sub genre with an anthology that tackles Aviation fiction in tales without airplanes or other ‘normal’ air borne apparatus.  ALTERNATIVE AIR ADVENTURES is now available in print and digital formats
 
“People are fascinated by flying,” says Tommy Hancock, Partner in and Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions, “always have been.  ALTERNATIVE AIR ADVENTURES continues that fascination by changing the status quo somewhat, something that New Pulp does a lot these days.  Imagine that planes and typical helicopters and the like simply never developed.  They never happened.  How, then, would man have ever left the ground? Three of the best authors in Genre Fiction today tackle that question in this collection, and the stories are simply awesome.  Combine that with the absolutely gorgeous cover by Michael Hegedus and this is a must have read!”
 
FLIGHT! An ability that has always fascinated mankind and for centuries, a mystery that eluded those who sought it most! But, what if the discovery of such things as the airplane or helicopter had never occurred? What if the path to man gaining his own wings went other directions? Those worlds are imagined and come to life in Pro Se Productions’ ALTERNATIVE AIR ADVENTURES! Join authors Kevin Findley, Davide Mana, and Gene Moyers as they fly the wild and wonderful, sometimes unfriendly skies in machines from their minds. Heroes and villains combat one another high above the ground in ships that have only lived in dreams…until now. Climb aboard and strap in for ALTERNATIVE AIR ADVENTURES from Pro Se Productions!

Robert Kirkman: Invincible, Walking Dead, Wolf-Man

I wasn't actually a huge fan of Robert Kirkman when I first started reading his books.  He was competent, sure, but I didn't see the appeal-- The Irredeemable Ant-Man was a boring side story in the middle of  Civil War and  The Initiative (although I've since changed my mind about this), and his  Ultimate X-Men run was, in many places, a mixed bag (although I did very much enjoy his "Phoenix?" storyline).  And  Marvel Zombies  just seemed like a ridiculous idea--not that I bothered to try it at the time. Now, though?  I've completely reevaluated my opinion on his work, and when his name is attached to a project, I'm far more likely to give it a look.  I don't know if I'd classify him as a master storyteller or a comics icon--but he's very skilled, he has an incredible knack for dialog, and he writes stories that, no matter how ridiculous, seem real .  In a medium where characters frequently violate the rules of physics, that's not alway...

BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPs  (Top Shelf, May 2010 hardcover, black & white, 86 pages,   $12.95)  As told by JD Arnold with illustrations by Richard Koslowski What got my attention immediately was the pairing up of a classic fairy tale with musical motifs.  That’s a combination that pushes two of my “hot buttons” - -  so I made it a must-read.  I was not disappointed.  This is a very entertaining and cleverly designed work that rivals Bill Willingham’s  creativity on the long-running FABLES series from Vertigo. As if taking the classic tale of the Big Bad Wolf and the Three Little Pigs and turning it upside down wasn’t enough to interest, BB WOLF AND THE THREE LPS  serves as an allegory for the oppression of  the black population in the deep South (Mississippi) in the 1920’s.  While they may be free (wolves),  the governing bodies (pigs) have the power to deny them their land, homes and possessions and even own the...

What else did I finish reading last month?  Here’s a cross-section of various titles . . . . . . . . . WITCHBLADE #126 “War Of The Witchblade Part 2” by Ron Marz and Stejepan Sejic  (Top Cow/Image) Preface:  Now here’s an interesting concept! = In order to attract new readers to its’ titles Top Cow is giving out free books each month as part of it’s Let Us Win You Over project.  ( www.topcow.com/freecomics )  Every month it’s a different title. And they work through different comics shops each month as well.  In April the title was Witchblade #126 and one of the participating dealers was Captain Blue Hen Comics in Newark, DE (my preferred supplier) so voila! - - - I find a copy in my hands. Since the last time I explored the Witchblade series the mythology has expanded to a battle between the forces of light and dark with each side choosing its agents on Earth, hence the Darkness vs. the Witchblade.  I’m still not overly interested in this typ...
