New Projects
The thing about webcomics and webcomicky people? Always doing new stuff. Let’s see what some longtime creators are up to.
- Item! Jamie Noguchi has been away from Yellow Peril for a while, thanks to the demands of a young human in his household and the freelancer’s life. We got some really cool George Takei biocomics out of the hiatus, so that’s okay. And it appears that behind the scenes, Noguchi has been working on something related to his one true love.
I speak, naturally, of tokusatsu, the Japanese entertainment genre featuring rubbersuit monsters and overly dramatic young people saving the world with giant robots, karate, motorbikes, and possibly Spider-man. Noguchi knows his way around tokusatsu, with a series of videos explaining what’s up with the various Rider- and Ranger-type series.
And the new project? Well, we have to wait another week or so:
Alright! There we go! And starting September 1, you’ll see what this dumb thing is all about! #tokutember
I suspect this will be better than the time a pair of puppets slap-fought each other in a train-themed Ranger series.
- Item! Meredith Gran may have wrapped Octopus Pie but that doesn’t mean she’s idle. What would you most like to see from her? If you said a point and click adventure game, it’s your lucky day:
a few weeks ago I started working on a point + click adventure game, my first attempt at such a thing. it’s going to be my next project!
it’s so nebulous right now that I’m having trouble formally announcing things. I’m not fundraising at this time – just developing
but I will be updating patreon soon with info about it. at this time I’m really just looking for a sustained income so I can focus on it
- Item! Not only is Vera Brosgol’s new book about to drop, it appears her last graphic novel — the stellar Anya’s Ghost — is going to get the screen treatment:
Soooo here’s a thing!
The quoted treat leads to a Deadline Hollywood story about the production of the feature film, with shooting set to begin later this year. Everybody feel good for Vera, and wave to her as she sets off for a life of Hollywood glamour.
- Item! Any day that Anthony Clark posts pretty much anything — a comic, a sketch, a picture of a cool dog he met that day — is, by definition, better than a day without Anthony Clark posting anything. What with his wizard-a-day series for 2017 (posted today: #235, Badminton Wizard), there’s been plenty of days better than there otherwise would have been in an otherwise terrible year. And if any of those wizards particularly catches your fancy, but you don’t want to scroll back through a lengthy Twitter thread, there’s now a Wizard Gallery! And you can buy prints of your favorite wizards through TopatoCo!
Spam of the day:
Isabella (91) Don’t Miss To Checkout My~Private~Profile, Hot Photos Inside
It’s possible that the (91) is just indicating that this is the 91st Isabella to send me an allegedly sexy spam, but it’s also possible that (91) is meant to be an age, which makes the similar spam from Leanna (3) especially icky.
