ALL STAR RECOMMENDS: DAREDEVIL END OF DAYS HC


ALL STAR RECOMMENDS – Daredevil: End of Days HC

He uttered one word as he laid dying, a single clue, and irresistible bait for a search into the past for its truth. It is an obituary, yet also an eye toward the future for the legend of Matt Murdock, Daredevil.  

Equal parts recollection of the great moments in Ol’ hornhead’s history, as well as a startling primer for those looking to see what all the fuss is about, Daredevil: End of Days straddles the line between love letter to the past and bold reminder of the character’s timeless ability to attract ‘new’ acolytes.

This meld doesn’t just happen in the plot and dialogue however. The art itself is the device that transports readers through the various eras; primarily the 80’s of Klaus Janson and Bill Sienkiewicz, and the early 2000’s Alex Maleev and David Mack, both pairs supporting each other brilliantly.

In fact, each art style itself serves to pinpoint key characters and flashes into Murdock’s past but it never jars, as the grit and variation that each artist employs has become one with the character and expectations of the tone and singular habitat of hell’s kitchen. Again, this either serves as a treat for long time readers or an exciting artifact for those looking to get the best of DD in one place.


Primary credit has to go to writers Bendis and Mack however, as they have managed to create and give voice to a story that seems without creators. The pair prove to be invisible throughout, and are so attuned to the voices of Ben Urich, Elektra, Foggy, Peter Parker, Frank Castle and Matt himself that it feels like a historical excavation and recreation of pre-existing people. In his novel On Writing, author Stephen King states his belief that all stories are hidden and it is the writer’s job to merely unearth and polish them; to give new life to something long buried, and to be honest. Daredevil: End of Days feels the most true example of that idea that I’ve read recently.

With Frank Miller absent it might have seemed this was a foolish attempt to capitalize on his early (and most heralded) work on the character in some sort of nostalgic cash grab, but it both transcends and honours his work while simultaneously being a celebration of what has been done since without ego or highlight upon any individual creative voice.


A modern masterpiece, and the best incarnation of The Punisher since Mr Ennis held the pen… Even then, wow.


Verdict: ALL STAR RECOMMENDED!

Melbourne Writers Festival COMIC PANELS AND EVENTS!

Local superstar and all round nice guy, Bruce Mutard sent us a wonderful email this morning. It contained a detailed rundown of comic panels and events being held during the current Melbourne Writers Festival from August 22nd to September 1st. We highly recommend you have a look over this line up and get yourself some tickets for a great few days out discussing comics. Massive thanks again to Bruce for all his hard work putting this post together. Now over to Bruce! 

Firstly, I am giving a talk at the RMIT Lunchbox design Talks on Wednesday the 21st at 12:30pm about my career in comics. It’s for students, but also for the public and FREE. building 514.1.001 Brunswick Campus, Dawson Street. Will probably skip over to Squishface afterwards given it’s nearby. http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=9smnrkhohzsx



It’s Melbourne Writers Festival time from next week and on SATURDAY the 24th, there are a bunch of comics themed events that y’all might be interested in. Okay, I’m in some of them so that makes it potentially more interesting or less, depending on you...


UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Saturday 24th August at 10:00am. Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. Tix here: http://tickets.mwf.com.au/session2_mwf.asp?sn=Under+Construction&s=649

My $1 question is: when will The Fight come out? Or, how’s The Fight coming along? Well, at this session I will show you what it is, where it’s at and maybe guess when it’ll come out. It’s taking a long time for a lot of reasons, but it is happening and it is going to go places you can’t imagine if you’ve read The Sacrifice. Joining me will be Sarah Howell, who is working on a book about Enid Lyons and the three men she knew who died in office: her husband, Joe Lyons; John Curtin and Harold Holt. One is an accident, two is a coincidence, but three is a conspiracy. A remarkable woman by a remarkable talent featuring in what is certainly the GN I am most eagerly anticipating. Also on stage will be Mirranda Burton, another amazing talent - witness her book Hidden - but now working on a wordless book that is made up from her exquisite hand-cut Lino prints. It’s all about the 99% perspiration folks, so bring a towel. 


DRAW, DRAW FASTER! Saturday 24th August at 4:00pm. Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. Tix here: http://tickets.mwf.com.au/session2_mwf.asp?sn=Draw%2C+Draw+Faster%21&s=482

Picture this (clue: imagination): two easels, blank paper and sharpies in a rack. Two blokes and two sheilas who also happen be illustrators and cartoonists are confronted with the dreaded blank page and are thereby compelled to fill it with spontaneous comic story-making on the fly, directed by the man who can make something out of nothing, sensible: Bernard Caleo. I, along with Alexis Sudgen (the delightful My Sisters Voice also being launched at Skinny Arse below), David Blumenstein and Lesley Vamos (ex Disney animator and prolific illustrator) will battle to make nothing sensible! Probably going to be pretty hilarious. If that doesn’t happen I’ll show my bum. 
 
 
 
SKINNY ARSE COMICS LAUNCH. Saturday 24th August at 5:30pm. ACMI The Cube. http://tickets.mwf.com.au/browse2_mwf.asp?k=skinny+arse&a2752=&sd=

Following the success of the Skinny Arse launch at last years festival and in the spirit of Big Arse, this year we launch four new comics onto the Melbourne literary scene and they’re all debut books too! Firstly, there is Alexis Sudgen’ delightful, wistful My Sister’s Voice,  a tale of a lighthouse keepers years long search for her sister supposedly lost at sea. Then there is Lauren Hills and Ceili Braidwood’ Good Hordekeeping which you have to imagine as good housewife’s guide to etiquette in dealing with zombies. Yes. Then there’s Caitlin Major and Matthew Hoddy’ Space Pyrates, a collection of a web comic featuring, un-muscled hipster couple who nevertheless are a very dynamic duo roaming about space; think Jack Sparrow crossed with Douglas Adams. Then there is the fascinating Neomad, a science fiction dreaming conjured up by Melbourne chap Sutu collaborating with 30 kids from the Leramudgu area of the Pilbara. Yep, they created and coloured it. It’s actually an interactive comic that first made its appearance on itunes (see: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/neomad-interactive-comic-for/id549058981?mt=8). This is probably where comics are going to go, but for old-schoolers like me, we have print too. This event is the only one that is FREE, which makes sense, for that way, you can buy the books and get them signed on the day. Please come along!

There are several other comics events that will be worth your while to attend too and since it’s all on the same day, make a day of it!
 
 

DRAW LIKE A GIRL. Saturday 24th August at 1:00pm. Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. Tix here: http://tickets.mwf.com.au/session2_mwf.asp?sn=Draw+Like+A+Girl&s=481

Jo Waite, Katie Parrish and Lucy Knisley gather on stage to talk about whether female comics artists see and draw the world different from blokes. I say they do and the world and the medium is all the better for it! Especially these three!



Inside X-Men. Saturday 24th August at 11:30am. Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. Tix here: http://tickets.mwf.com.au/session2_mwf.asp?sn=Inside+X%2DMen&s=530

Marjorie M Liu is well known to many fans of speculative fiction and also to those who read the Astonishing X-Men comic. Here the spotlight is shone on her talking to Joey Morris of Non-Canonical about what it is to work with a franchised intellectual property such as this one. Obviously being a woman in a male dominated domain will matter at some level, but hopefully we’ll get insight into the machine that is Marvel/Disney/Pixar/Lucasfilm. Will we see X-men team up with the Incredibles and Pocahontas to fight Darth Maul? And why are they always bloody fighting? Can’t they all just get along?


GETTING TO THE POINT. Saturday 24th August at 2:30pm. Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia. Tix here: http://tickets.mwf.com.au/session2_mwf.asp?sn=Getting+to+the+Point&s=503

Cartoonists Andrew Marlton and Judy Horacek talk to Jason Chatfield make a living making fun of everything around them in black lines on paper. Nice gig, but it must be hard to get inspired to punchlines and gags every day, so in this session, apparently they’re going to tell us that being funny ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, but they’d be cracked if they were to do anything else. I understand completely, as I’m a cracker who’s also cracked, but I don’t take crack. 

Lastly, my erstwhile friend Phil Bentley will be manning the Australian comics table in the book fair in the atrium at Federation square on this day, the 24th, but also the following Saturday, the 31st August, when I will be present as well for the whole day. If there are holes in your collection, then this is the time and place to get them filled. So you need a filling from the dentist? bugger that, get your comics fill instead: cheaper and less painful.

KICK ASS 2 DOUBLE PASS GIVEAWAY!




 Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all. 

Thanks to the awesome folks from Universal Pictures and KICK ASS 2 – in cinemas nationally August 22, we have 10 double in-season passes to Kick Ass 2 to give away.

To go into the draw to win all you need to do is tell us, "what was the last truly kick ass thing you did?"

Terms and Conditions:
All entries will go into the All Star Barrel and winners will be drawn at random.
Entries close 6pm Tuesday 20th of August and winners will be announced Wednesday the 21st. Passes will only be available to pick up from the store and winner must produce photo ID upon pick up. Passes MUST be picked up no later than a week after the draw. Any remaining passes after this date will be given away at our discretion to make sure they don't go to waste. 


Thanks again to Universal Pictures and of course KICK ASS 2, in cinemas August 22nd.

All Superheroes Must Die Double Pass Giveaway!


"Four costumed avengers of a now-defunct superhero team are reunited when they are stripped of their super powers by their arch-nemesis Richshaw (James Remar) whom they defeated years earlier…or so they thought! When the sinister mastermind puts the heroes through a series of brutal challenges, the former teammates must battle the clock – and each other – in a race to stop a deadly countdown that could mean total destruction.  A DIY superhero shout out and a breath of fresh air in this era of modern block busters. Writer/director and star Jason Trost (The FP)  has created a dark thriller that “doesn’t just deconstruct superhero conventions, it tears them to shreds” (Renn Brown, CHUD.com)"

Thanks to the fantastic folks from Cultastrophe and Cinema Nova, we have 5 double passes to All Superheroes Must Die screening at Cinema Nova Friday the 16th of August at 9:45. 

To go into the draw for your chance to win all you need to do is tell us "which superhero needs to die and stay dead?"

SPECIAL NOTE: As this prize is for a specific time and date, please only enter if you make the screening. 

All entries will go into the All Star Barrel and winners will be drawn at random.
Entries close 7pm Wednesday the 14th of August and winners will be announced Thursday the 15th of August.
