Comics and Life

Sorry, I just realized it had been a couple of days since I last posted. I've been really busy and still am, but I wanted to post something here real quick, so here I am.

I finally got a chance to get Wizard #180, which contains a quote from me. Technically it's on an ad for the comic The Sire, but it's still in the book. It's on page #134 the bottom half of the page (you can't miss it). I say "From start to finish, this book is filled with action and characterization" -Brant Fowler (SilverBulletComics.com).

I thought that was pretty cool of Mike to use that quote on a half-page ad in Wizard (those ain't cheap, I've checked!). So I'm still pretty psyched about it, and it gives more publicity to SBC as well.

Speaking of SBC, if you haven't been checking the site out you need to start. We keep current with the comic news, have tons of excellent features, columns and reviews, and we've got some cool stuff upcoming that I can't talk about yet. So keep it locked over there (click the post title).

I also read Civil War #4, the only comic I have time to talk about right now. Let me say that while it's not full of mainstream media newsworthiness as some claimed, it is still very controversial within the events themselves that transpire and should get fans talking. It was a really enjoyable comic and with the Thor issue that should really raise some voices of concern and confusion.

It also looks like some people are questioning what side they're on finally, as we all knew would happen. I find it interesting, though, just who is considering their options and just who isn't. Reed Richards is a bit surprising here too.

And finally (no spoilers, sorry), Steve McNiven's art in this issue is absolutely masterful, no kidding. Absolutely beautiful in every panel. The art alone, for me, was worth the delay.

And that's it for now. Back to work!

WOO HOO! On Wizard ... That's awesome that they used your name. One of my quotes from an SBC review was used in Previews, but it said "Silver Bullet Comics" not "Jason Berek-Lewis" - I still saved the page though ;)

Good Job Brant! One of my quotes from Living in Infamy #1 was lifted from The Comics Review and used by them in an ad too, but TCR was credited and not me, but I knew it was mine!

Ha ha Crazz, I feel your pain!

Thanks guys! Yeah, I'm thrilled they used my actual name, but even if they hadn't my quote alone would have been cool enough, you know? Though I have to admit the name sweetens it :)
