DVD UPDATE!

More stuff to be had in the weird, wonderful, wild world of DVD.

IDENTITY

No not the John Cusack flick. Instead a police drama that makes it their business in identifying thieves and their victims. This is a solid, well acted police drama that deserves a look.















DOC MARTIN COLLECTION SERIES 1-4

Not your average doctor. When Doc Martin (Martin Clunes) goes from being a hotshot London surgeon to a small, seaside village as a General Practitioner because of a crippling fear of blood, well it's as kooky as it sounds and a true triumph for Clunes in a role that seems made for him.

















20TH CENTURY WITH MIKE WALLACE : AMERICA AT WAR

From Korea to Somalia, join Mike Wallace as he takes ten episodes to show the very nature of warfare and how it has changed in the last century. A very informative series for anyone who is interested in how wars are fought, won and lost.















DEMOB

It stands for Demobilized, when soldiers are sent back into civilian life. In this case the two leads spent four years in North Africa entertaining the troops. Now, back in the civilized world they miss the spotlight, but will it be the same?

MURDOCH MYSTERIES SEASON 3

Murder Mysteries of the Victorian Age with guests like Nikola Tesla and HG Wells. Cutting edge detective work from a bygone era. This is a great series.















BETTY BLUE

Jean-Jacques Beineix's modern day classic of love and what a man is willing to endure to keep his lady love by his side as she descends into madness. The Blu Ray of this film is the best that it has ever looked.

I'M IN A BOOK!!!

Well, not me personally. I contributed to the anthology MONDO SASQUATCH and apprently they liked my story enough to include it. It's a tale entitled Sasquatch Vs. El Chupacabra. Sounds pretty straight forward, but I tried to play it a little different.


Here's a list of all the contributers;

• “I Have Always Wondered What Bigfoot Meat Tastes Like: An Introduction” by Louis Fowler
• “Arlo Felling Exists” by Richard Tiernan
• “Bigfoot and the Bone Face Murders” by Michael May
• “Bigfoot Must Die” by Frankie Marino
• “From Hell’s Heart” by Desmond Reddick
• “Incident at Crater Lake” by Casey Criswell
• “Roadside Attraction” by Matthew P. Mayo
• “Sacrifice” by Shawn Gilbreath
• “Sasquatch vs. El Chupacabra” by Douglas Waltz
• “Strike” by Michael D. Winkle
• “The Ballad of the Skunk Ape” by Jarret Keene
• “The Encounter” by Mike White
• “The Tale of Peter Rabbit and the Sasquatch” by Beatrix Potter and Rod Lott
• “The Tragic Hazing of Bryan Igfoot” by Eric Dimbleby
• “Theodore Roosevelt and the Great American Anthropoid” by Bill Adcock

And here's the really cool cover:

I will give more information as the release date looms ever closer.

ELISABETH SLADEN HAS PASSED

It is with a heavy heart that we must report that Elisabeth Sladen a.k.a. Sarah Jane Smith of Doctor Who fame has passed away at the age of 63 from cancer.
This is devastating. Tom Baker was my Doctor so, Sarah Jane was my companion.
We will miss you so very much.

AND THE WINNER IS...

Pardon me, but I have been extremely ill as of late and it completely slipped my mind that I had not given the announcement of who won the Webcomics Competition.

Drumroll please.

And the winner is...

GIRLS WITH SLINGSHOTS!! Yes, all my future throwaway cash will be in support of this strip. My first purchase will be McPedro, of course, but after that who knows? And why did I pick Girls With Slingshots?

It's all the cactus' fault. That little bastard makes me laugh everytime.

THE JOLENE HOUSER SUPPORT BOOK

Jolene Houser Support Book and Dusk (Vol. 2) by David Doub



Proceeds to benefit Arizona artist Jolene Houser



"On her way to the convention Saboten-Con, artist Jolene Houser was in a car accident. She had a fractured skull, 17 stitches in her forehead, 6 staples on her elbow from a large laceration, and a fractured #1 vertebrae. During the show, all the fans and staff were very supportive and sent their well wishes the best they knew how, but that got some of us thinking. Why stop there? To show our support for Jolene and her amazing talent, we've put together this sketchbook. All profits will be given to Jolene to help with various bills stemming from the accident and her medical care."



~ David Doub, author and publisher, Dusk Comics







Special Note! There will also be a Live Art Auction held to support Jolene -

Comic book artists are a special breed, and Arizona native Jolene Houser, who has been a comic book fan ever since she got her first taste of Witchblade and Sailor Moon, is no exception. This serious student was studying all forms of art in order to advance her skills and further her work in her Arizona studio when she was in a serious car accident she is still struggling to recover from.



To help with the inevitable medical bills, co-artist and friend David Doub, author and publisher of Dusk Comics, organized their fellow artists to put together the Jolene Houser Support Book. The book's goal is clear. As the title page says, "We can rebuild her. Better. Faster. Stronger. Starring Jolene Houser as the Bionic Artist."



This outpouring of love and respect contains 32 pages of sketches drawn by 17 different artists, and all proceeds from net sales go directly to Jolene. Doub notes that the book, available online through Amazon and Barnes and Noble, is POD and will not run out of stock.



Also, since Jolene drew one-third of the illustrations for volume 2 of Doub's vampire comic creation Dusk, Doub is donating these proceeds (from online sales or orders through Ingrams) to her as well through May 31, 2011, though he notes that the support book will continue to be sold, with all proceeds going to Jolene, for as long as needed. "Artists have to pull together and help each other," he says.

The Penultimate Chapter of the Web Comic Competition

Okay, we are back with the final decision making blog. Then the next will award the winner the lifelong contract of buying their merch when possible.

GIRLS WITH SLINGSHOTS

I have been reading this one since day one. The little cactus McPedro makes me laugh. The girls are funny. One is super girly and likes girls. The other one is a lot cruder and prefers men. Never, ever judge a book by it's cover. This one has made me laugh out loud a number of times.

SHORTPACKED

The concept of a group of people working togther in a toy store has endless comedic possibilities. They have also made me laugh quite a bit.

MENAGE A 3

Just a fun filled demented strip. Plus, look at the picture. Why wouldn't anyone read this?

LEAST I COULD DO

Another one that I have read from the start. I have suffered through multiple artists and it just is funny to watch this main character plow through life, women and cadbury eggs. Simply delightful with a sharp, sarcastic wit.
