What's Happening Next!
Added 2023-10-23 11:18:28 +0000 UTCHello, everyone!
First of all, apologies for not keeping you updated sooner. Last week I was trying to put together a video while doing mighty battle with illness. It's that time of year where the weather dramatically fluctuates in my part of the world (it's -6 now and two days ago it was +20) and that messes with my body. Not to mention my sleep pattern, which has always been erratic at best.
Anyway...
Right now I have multiple options. I might just do a video about the next Cerebus graphic novel, Melmoth, just to get it out of the way in preparation for the final volume I intend to cover: Mothers & Daughters. But it's short so I'd like to supplement it with another video.
Also in the works is a video about the few instances where Steve Ditko *actually* spoke about the character, Mr. A. There's a scratchy piece of audio from 1987 that I transcribed and intend to read, as well as a portion of an interview he gave in 1968. Finally, it concludes with my take on the perception of Ditko in the public space. Specifically, the oddball loner with extreme views that kept him away from greater success. It was inspired by (and in part, a response to) Tom King's depiction of Ditko in Rorschach.
I'm also picking away at a Personal Favourites type of script. And an in-depth look at King and Gerad's Mister Miracle series. And the Murphyverse. Not to mention, the travesty that is Avengers #200.
So, there's a lot in the works. But, at this time, I'm unsure what's going to appear this week.

I wonder if it's a distorted Streisand effect. That is, the video brought some attention to Void Indigo and that attention brought it to the attention of others who then influenced the price. Or something along those lines.

2023-10-29 00:38:48 +0000 UTCI had no idea. Very cool and thanks for letting know.

2023-10-28 23:14:45 +0000 UTCDude. You’ve totally blown up Void Indigo! You received praise/recommendations from both Bronze & Modern Gods and Comic Tom 101! Congratulations!

2023-10-28 21:45:12 +0000 UTCMassive-verse? I will have to look into that because I've not heard of it before now! I would definitely be interested. Hopefully, I have time in my schedule for when you need that done! Also...not an actor. So, keep your expectations low. :)

2023-10-26 11:50:00 +0000 UTCThe Secret Comics Cabal is in agreement that you should focus on life first. Everyone needs a break now and again, even secret comics cabal presidents! Also we would love to hear your take on the Massive-Verse. Also Also, your secret comic cabal president and some other presidents of other secret cabals are working on a Superhero based audio drama based on students having to study the history of super-powered people. When we get to the point for recording it would you be interested in playing the Professor of Extra Human anatomy?

2023-10-25 18:55:13 +0000 UTCBone is something I'll eventually get around to. No plans at the moment, but I'll get there.

2023-10-23 18:27:31 +0000 UTCMy take is pretty brief, to be honest. And it's similar to what you've just said.
Allan Hatt
2023-10-23 18:26:56 +0000 UTCThank you! But nothing gets done if I don't do it. :)

2023-10-23 18:26:15 +0000 UTCAlthough it's impressive that you're able to work when you're sick you shouldn't have to force yourself to do that.

2023-10-23 13:35:28 +0000 UTCHaving said what I have above I'd still absolutely love to watch your take on Melmouth which I do think is a fascinating story and the start of Sim very specifically using Cerebus as a vehicle for latest interests with the ongoing story tacked on. This shifted again during Mothers and Daughters but then became more and more apparent post 200.
Colin Taylor
2023-10-23 13:02:07 +0000 UTCYep while I've read the post 200 stuff I've got rid of it all. While its still an artistic triumph the Dave Sims distasteful views (my opinion no more) are so apparent I get no enjoyment, or even appreciation for those latter issues.

2023-10-23 13:00:08 +0000 UTCTake care man. I am hoping for the continuation of the Cerebus-series. And after the I am hoping that you will do the "anti-Cerebus"; Jeff Smiths Bone, another amazing comic (but with a better reputation than Cerebus)

2023-10-23 12:51:39 +0000 UTCI personally have no interest in going beyond issue #200. After that, all I see is Sim's agenda and it's a rather unpleasant experience.
Allan Hatt
2023-10-23 11:28:53 +0000 UTCYeah, given you've already done reads... best to leave it there.
