| Posted: 02 Jun 2011 05:56 PM PDT  Tron: Betrayal Paperback Writer: Jai Nitz Pencils: Andie Tong and Jeff Matsuda Inks: Pete Pantazis Marvel Comics Release Date: November 16, 2010 In the nearly thirty years between the events of Tron and Tron: Legacy, a lot has happened in Kevin Flynn's life. Legacy gives the viewer all the basic information needed to understand and enjoy the events that take place, but for those who want the whole story, Tron: Betrayal gives you that and much more. Kevin Flynn is a man torn between two worlds. In the real world he is the head of ENCOM, a Fortune 500 corporation, and a father-to-be. He is also the creator of a digital world that has undergone some drastic change in its short existence. The program TRON helps to keep order and security in the grid while Flynn is gone, but the expanding world needs more than just order. The amount of attention needed in both worlds has run Flynn down, so he creates CLU, a program in his own image to run the grid in his stead. CLU is charged by Flynn with creating "the perfect system" and he takes this task very seriously, going to extreme lengths to ensure its success. As a divide begins between CLU and Flynn's definition of perfection, Flynn's real-world responsibilities keep him away from the grid for longer periods of time than usual. The division between the grid's creator and its supervisor is reaching a boiling point, all while Flynn is trying to raise his newborn son and still maintain an active role at ENCOM [...]      |
| Convention Report: Comicpalooza 2011 Posted: 02 Jun 2011 11:39 AM PDT  During Memorial Day weekend (May 27-29, 2011), Comicpalooza held its 4th annual multi-genre convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX. I attended the first two days of this three-day convention. First of all, this was my first big convention in Texas and the layout of the convention center was massive. The whole convention took place on the 3rd level of this massive convention center. The highlights of the convention for me were the opportunities to interact with comic creators, comic fans, and celebrities. I spent a short amount of time on Friday observing the entire Con floor and chatting with various artists and writers in Artist Alley. I also checked out a few things in the Dealers Room. Before leaving for the day, I sat in on panel with comic writer Chris Roberson (I-Zombie), Fred Van Lente (Marvel Zombies), and Brian Denham (Zombie Fairy Tales) on a panel titled Comics & Zombies. By the name of the panel, you can guess what was discussed [...]      |
| Book Review: Feed by Mira Grant Posted: 02 Jun 2011 09:38 AM PDT  Feed Newsflesh, Book 1 Paperback | Kindle By Mira Grant Orbit Release Date: May 1, 2010 Written by Seanan Maguire under the pen name of Mira Grant, Feed tells the story of Georgia and Shaun, a sibling blogger duo who live in a future where although cancer and the common cold are ancient history, zombies are active and stronger than ever. The two go on a crusade not only to fight the creatures, but also to challenge their government to do more to help others. The book starts off with an intense getaway scene, the zombies chasing Georgia and Shaun. It's high octane and exciting -- the opening chapters are very memorable. The style and language are also highly readable, which makes a book like this more entertaining [...]      |
