I also created a page with six identical square panels, two featuring a "stick-figure" house and character in relationship to one another, and four with a stick figure of differing sizes. (These I photocopy so everybody can have a copy, later). And, of course, I did the assignment: created a page of six panels, three over three. I begin by asking if anyone wants to show us the layout created for this session, and tell us something about it. Josh has done a layout of, like, twelve panels, complete with tiny figures and cramped dialogue; shows how his characters cross the page going from panel to panel. Lane has four BIG panels separated by gutters slashing across the page. Sydney shows her page, six very regular panels drawn with a ruler: because that's how they're supposed to look, in regular comic books. Big hooray for all their efforts! I show them mine and say only I hope it makes it feel like there's a lot of action on the page, even without drawing anything in the panels. I show them original art pages, by Steve Bissette ("Swampthing"), Jeff Nicholson ("Colonia"), June Brigman ("Power Pack") and Ed Hannigan ("Green Arrow"), all of which use six panels -very- differently. We note the use of white-out, and other (editorial) corrections! "Today," I say, "we're going to talk about word balloons. Lots of different kinds!" On the chalkboard, I draw a page. and a large panel within it. I write the words "page" and "panel" to one side on the board, and underneath these, "word balloons". Inside the big panel, I draw a small horizontal rectangle, and ask if anyone knows what would go in it. "That's where they tell you what's going on," I'm told. You betcha-- "That's called 'Narration'," say I, and write that within the narration "balloon". I'm told it's not really a word balloon; I concede the point. I draw a word balloon and ask "What goes in here?" They know; I write inside it, "What someone says." I draw a thought balloon, inquire, and label it, "What someone thinks." By now we all get the game: I draw a spiky-shouting balloon and everyone shouts, "Shouting!" When I draw a word balloon with tiny lettering and someone calls out "Whispering!", I just glare at them until someone whispers it. I get away with this stuff because, oddly, I am known as the "silly" teacher, and many of them had to endure my (ahem) humor as preschoolers and kindergartners, long, long ago. I label the balloon, "*What someone whispers*", and draw a dashed line rectangle not unlike a narration box, and elicit comment that robots' and aliens' speech is often illustrated this way. Very briefly, I show them sound effects: the word "BOOM" filling a panel, the sound "SSSSsssss" trailing off into teeny lettering, the sound "sssssSSSSS" sailing into big lettering, and two faces with word balloons, one filled with "???", the other, with "!!". We don't need a whole lot of discussion on this'n. They get it: the first shows sound diminishing; the second, sound increasing; and so on. The third shows someone questioning, the fourth, someone exclaming! I erase my page with all the word balloons (but retain our word list), and create a new page, with six more or less identical panels: two with a matching "stick-figure" house in each, and a figure in the foreground in the first, in the background in the second. Panels 3-6 illustrate, with simply a stick-figure person, a long shot, a medium shot, a close-up and an extreme close-up. I write "Perspective" under the words in our list, and say, "Perspective means the way things look." I ask, "Which looks closer in panel one, the house or the person?" I ask about panel two--no one has trouble with this; I ask, "Are things really closer or farther away?" There's some discussion about this, but the resolution is that, no, nothing is further than anything else: "They're just drawn that way!" Yassuh! I name each "shot" in turn, writing it into the panel, and name the abbreviations (i.e., "long shot = LS" et al.). I pass out my copies of the pages with word balloon styles and perspectives, and thank the kids for their time. And next? Assignment for next session: create a page with 4-9 panels. Use 1, 2, or 3 stick figures as characters in perspective. Use word balloons in most panels (a silent panel or two is fine); try a sound effect, too! And-- the first thing somebody says on the page is, "Well, I'd tell the world..." We discuss if they HAVE to say that; I say, "No, but try it out!" and then, once again, I hurry off to cater preschool lunchtime. _________________________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------- [8] Suspended Animation Michael Vance & Mark Allen MiklVance2@worldnet.att.net http://www.starland.com/sus [Michael Vance, a professional writer since 1977 and has been published in dozens of magazines including Starlog and Jack and Jill, and as a syndicated columnist and cartoonist in over 500 newspapers.

Joe: America's Elite # 0, published by Devil's Due Publishing, 24 pages, 25 cents. Before I read this comic, I hadn't seen or read anything related to G.I. Joe in over ten years, and had never had any kind of G.I. Joe "habit". So, I was curious, both as a general reader, as well as a reviewer, whether that would make a difference when it came to being able to follow the story. The short answer is Yes, it does make a difference, but not on the surface". I'll explain. I didn't feel lost in the basic premise of the story. In the opening, a satellite falls from orbit, striking the heart of the city of Chicago. "Joe" operatives scramble to get on location and assess damage and determine threat risk Meanwhile, other members of G.I. Joe are in Germany taking care of a Cobra infestation. And, in the background of it all, new leadership is being determined for "America's elite counter- terrorist unit". See? Straightforward and very clear, a.k.a. an easy-to-follow story, courtesy of writer Joe Casey. BUT (and you knew there was going to be one), there are subtle nuances of the story that will be understood only with a background in the material. For instance, why is Roadblock "steamin'" over Storm Shadow's presence amongst the Joes? What's the background of General Colton, whom the president is seeking to install as leader of the outfit? And, who is the madman at the end of the story who is obviously responsible for the tragedy in Chicago? Without giving anything away, I will tell you that he has a part in G.I. Joe lore from years ago. So, a reader who has no background in the material will definitely miss out on at least one important bit. Still, I think the book is accessible enough for new readers to jump on board and catch up. G.I. Joe is recommended for all readers, and can be found at your local comic shop, or online retailers.

She is a reviewer, moderator and columnist for both sites. At HeroRealm, her monthly column "Independent Forecast," co-written with Juan Gamez, which looks at the non-spandex titles in the current Previews, has expanded to become weekly. Called Independent Focus, the weekly columns will rotate through an examination of past Previews picks; the new Previews; independent companies and creators; and web comics. Though she is going on hiatus, you can still find her previous "Under the Radar" columns at MightyMiniCon.com, which looks at those comics that go unnoticed by the majority of comic book readers.] Welcome to another edition of Silva Shado Reviews. This week I continue my exploration of August's Previews and this time look at Tokyopop's new line, Blu. Before I get to that, I'd like to say a few more words about Yaoi. The following comments are based on what I've experienced, from what I've learned from other women who read Yaoi and from a study that my fiance did in college. One attraction of reading about two gorgeous men together in a relationship is that the female reader can put herself into either role. Since both are feminine males, the reader can either be the passive or aggressive person and then enjoy the story from that perspective. Of course many women point out the mouth-watering fact that you get to see gorgeously-drawn men who usually run around half- naked, if not fully naked. These buff, yet sensual hotties are to die for. After all, men aren't the only ones with hormones - it's just that women have suppressed them for so long. Just like the appeal of romance novels, women have an outlet through Yaoi to read a wide variety of romantic stories - everything from soft and sensual to spicy and scandalous. And I've read that women who read romantic stories that involve sexual relationships are usually more assured of themselves and their sexuality. Now it's time to take a look at three new Yaoi titles from Blu, Tokyopop's new Boys Love line. EARTHIAN VOL. 1 Publisher: Tokyopop Rating: 16+ $14.99 Publisher Description: "Angels walk among us - they are scattered across the globe helping humans in crisis. Chihaya and Kagetsuya continually find themselves in different parts of the world, dealing with an array of characters and ther hopeless problems. But when a growing legion of angels is plagued by the Black Cancer, salvation lies in the feared great fallen angel, Lord Seraphim. It's up to Chihaya and Kagetsuya to find this fallen angel..." My Thoughts: I've always been interest in getting the OVA series, but never did for monetary reasons. Even though this is a fantasy Yaoi title, I think I'd be more excited if I knew exactly how many volumes this will be. Fan sites that I found listed anywhere from 3 to 5 volumes. Unusual for Tokyopop, I can't find any information about this or the other two Blu titles on their websites. I would have thought they'd have something up by now... But this is a great deal - 408 pages for only $14.99 plus color pages inside! I'm sure fans of the OVA will not pass this up and, for all my hesitations, I'm definitely gonna give this a try. LOVE MODE VOL. 1 Publisher: Tokyopop Rating: 18+ $9.99 Publisher Description: "In Love Mode, it's not only about who you love... it's about how. The eagerly awaited classic boys' love saga has finally been released! When Izumi, a typical straight high school student, is mistaken for a male escort from a gay dating club, he begins a sexual odyssey filled with heated passion and sparkling romance. After a surprising date with the charming Takamiya, Izumi tries to deny that he is developing feelings for another man. But desire begins to take over, and Izumi's amorous feelings are further catapulted into the stratosphere when Takamiya showers him with affections, and talks of taking a vacation - and more - with his new young stud..." My Thoughts: Sounds exciting, but what deters me is, as usual, the number of volumes. Again, there's no info on Tokyopop's website, but in the Previews it says that the "stories are episodic, so readers can pick up series at any point." And after going to a fan site, it looks like there are 11 volumes in Japan. That's the longest Yaoi series I've ever heard of! So far, it's been one or two volume series, with the occasional 3 or 4. It's definitely going to be interesting to see how well this one does. I'll probably wait till a few volumes are out to give it a try. SHINOBU KOKORO: HIDDEN HEART VOL. 1 Publisher: Tokyopop Rating: 18+ $9.99 Publisher Description: "The Ninja: A stealth fighter expertly trained in ancient Japanese martial arts. No man can resist his skill - until now! Follow the sizzling sessions with a young, innocent ninja-in-training as his master teaches him the secret methods of the clan with a little hands-on instruction! Meanwhile, two experienced shinobi take their relationship to new heights when a tragic separation leaves one of them caught between a rock and a hard place. Filled with over-the-top "action," boys in tight uniforms, and one very lascivious snow spirit, this romantic fantasy collection is one part passion, one part affection, and all heart. Shinobu Kokoro: Protecting the clan with some man-on-man!" My Thoughts: Sounds funny enough to work! This one had me at fantasy Yaoi, but ninjas - wooh! Step aside Naruto, here are some real ninjas I can't wait to see in action. ^_~ And as far as I can tell from fan sites, there is only 1 volume, which is great for my pocket book. Though if I enjoy this as much as I think I will, I'll probably be complaining that there aren't more volumes. BLU I just wanted to say a few words about this new imprint from Tokyopop before concluding this column. There really hasn't been a lot of information, as you've seen from my column. But Tokyopop did confirm that they are acting as distributors of this new Blu line. They are not translating or publishing any of them. I find this odd that Tokyopop is distancing itself from such a popular genre. After all, they've done titles like Fake, legal Drug, Gravitation and Eerie Queerie. I can only guess that they want to stay in the middle of the morality scales and distributing is the most they'll do to still keep their balance, yet make money off Yaoi titles. COMING UP NEXT: If it works out, I plan on reviewing some of the Yaoi titles that I own. These will be a lot more in-depth reviews than the Previews reviews I've done these last two columns.

Moreels x-fan@bigpond.net.au http://www.comixfan.com/xfan [Editor's note: Some of the following reviews have spoilers to plot details. This is a TEXT ONLY newsletter so those spoilers are not hidden by HTML code as they are on the ComiX-fan site.] UNCANNY X-MEN #463 Reviewer: Phil Hunn, philiphunn@hotmail.com Story Title: "We're Not In Kansas Anymore" The fallout from the House Of M hits the White Cliffs of Dover... and Psylocke and Rachel Grey are caught in the thick of it! Writer: Chris Claremont Artist: Alan Davis Inker: Mark Farmer Colours: Avalon's Matt Milla Letters: Chris Eliopoulos Associate Editor: Nick Lowe Assistant Editor: Sean Ryan Editor: Mike Marts Publisher: Marvel Comics I'll be honest here. House of M never seemed to me to be a mind- blowing concept, and the main series hasn't yet lived up to the monstrous hype that was heaped at its door. The satellite books like Hulk, Fantastic Four, Iron Man and Spider-Man have all been far more intriguing explorations of Wanda and Magneto's brave new world. Unfortunately, this slice of M-World isn't quite at that level. It's an intriguing enough concept - with Wanda having given everybody what they want, Captain Britain is now King, and (a confusingly still-Asian) Psylocke is wild-child royalty, with the only really visible trace of Magneto's rule being Sentinels standing guard over the proceedings and a squad of mutant thugs led by Callisto. Meanwhile, Captain Britain suffers nightmares that are telling him all is not what it should be, and if he doesn't pull his finger out, then everything will come crashing down around him. And this is what's really wrong with the issue. I can't fault the characterisation of Psylocke, Meggan, or Cap (for what it's worth, spot-on characterisation is largely what I'm reading Uncanny for these days), but the issue seems to be largely about taking 616 characters as they are, and putting them into the House Of M world virtually unchanged - Callisto still has her disturbing tentacles, for instance - and not actually about fully exploring the possibilities of this alternate reality. Where Tony Stark became a "Sapien Deathmatch" participant and Spider-Man became a millionaire luchadore wrestler, Psylocke is still simply a telekinetic action junkie, who merely happens to have a crown in her jewellery box. And the only hint that Magneto's despotism actually supersedes Brian's authority comes from a short scene towards the end of the issue - surely Magneto ought to have made more of an impact on Brian's kingdom? Again, as has been seen in another satellite book, Fantastic Four, Magneto is apparently a very hands-on ruler, and has bred considerable resentment and rage in another puppet king, Dr Doom (although, on the other hand, that might just be Dr Doom for you). Since Brian is also a "mere Sapien", there ought to be something that gives the reader an impression of just how crushingly dreadful Magneto's so-called utopia actually is for the genetically "inferior". As it is, it seems quite a cushy lifestyle living across the pond - the issue opens with a gala ball where people, none of whom seem to be obvious mutants, seem to be schmoozing happily. As I said, though, things definitely look up when it comes to characterisation. There are some lovely moments of playfully aggressive banter between Rachel and Princess Psylocke, and Brian's mixture of costumed self-assurance and personal screw-ups is very true to his past actions. Pete Wisdom gets spruced up and given a good coat of paint as Brian's bodyguard (and given a better accent, to boot). Artwork-wise, Alan Davis gives us excellent renditions of Psylocke, Cap, Rachel et al, but that's business as usual for him, to be honest. It's a pity he's not staying around, because his artwork has an energy and dynamism to it that's hard to match (a few panels of Blob falling from an aircraft right onto Juggernaut's head are excellently depicted). Plus, the little touches (like Rachel still wearing the holo-crystal that her mother gave her, and the tiny reflections of Betsy and Rachel which are seen in some shattered glass) and the excellent facial expressions, all add up to a great visual experience. It's hard to think of an artist I shall miss more on this title. All in all, a fairly inoffensive read. It's not up to the level of the other House of M tie-ins by any means, but it's still an interesting diversion from the ongoing plot threads of the book. ART: 4.5 STORY: 2.5 OVERALL: 3.0 X-MEN UNLIMITED #10 Reviewer: Alan Bergin alan_bergin@yahoo.com Story Title: After school-special; Ghost in the Graveyard "All Mankind is of one author, and is one volume..." Writer: Joe Meno Artists: Paco Medina and Homs Colourist: Gotham Letterer: Dave Sharpe Editor: Warren Simons Executive Editor: Axel Alonso Editor in Chief: Joe Quesada Publisher: Dan Buckley Published by: Marvel Comics For my money, the best X-Men cover in recent memory has to have been John Cassaday's exquisite work that was Astonishing X-Men #4. For those of you unfamiliar with it, or for those of you with the memory span of a goldfish, it depicted Hank McCoy's feline- like paw draped over a shattered picture of himself, back when he looked quite human and also considerably happier with life. It was a stellar effort on Cassaday's part as not only did it manage to uniquely capture the doctor's grief over the implications of his secondary mutation, but it was doubly important because at long last, it signified Hank Mc Coy's suffering being brought to the forefront. Cassaday's effort is substantially more impressive, when you consider the fact that we don't even get to see his face! In a time when the Scott/Jean/Emma triangle was reaching fever-pitch, when Storm's crew repeatedly faced trouble from within, and when Bobby Drake was making the transition to Number #1 X-Jerk, the depiction of a downtrodden and humbled Ex- Avenger was a welcome if especially poignant sight. Of course, this is all a bit of a moot-point if you happened to have bought the edition with the Colossus-variant cover, but still...we're being sombre here people! It would be fair to say that the Beast wasn't the star of Grant Morrison's New X-Men run. The same could currently be said for his recent appearances in Whedon's Astonishing X-Men. Both creators attempt to work more on the team-dynamic, rather than single-out a particular character for special treatment. In saying this however, all the characters within, still managed to somehow find their respective times to shine. Scott Summer's drifted significantly from his role as loyal Xavier-ite. He grew a backbone and in doing so, would seem to have banished "Slim" forevermore. Both Jean Grey and Kitty Pryde found adequate expression for their own respective crie de coeur's (man- trouble), but still managed to contribute largely to the triumph of each successive arc. Logan and Emma grumbled and fought with everyone, with the result being that they (Emma in particular) became the face of the X-Men in the noughties. What of Beast though? How did he deal with his team-mates constant spotlight- hogging? Well, Hank it would seem, is destined to remain on the periphery. Face-licking aside, Hank will never be the team's Casanova. Nor are his mutant abilities significant enough to be the means by which the nefarious villains of the MU will succeed in their attempts to achieve world domination. Hank McCoy will be the voice of reason, the resident ideas-factory and your best buddy, but he will more than likely always play second-fiddle to the Emma Frost's of this world. This comes as quite a shame when you consider that such a high-profile A-list X-Man is currently adrift in sea of despair and self-loathing. His is a story that deserves to be told. It is with this that we come to X-Men Unlimited #10. I think that quite a large proportion of X-Men fans would take exception to the mere existence of this title. With three core X- titles and a handful of high quality satellite books, surely there would be no obvious need for a largely inconsequential series of successive X-Men one-shots? Few if any of the 50-odd issues of the first volume, or the 9 most recent offerings have had any real impact on the X-Canon, so there really is a pervading sense of "What's the point?" with this book. The simple fact of the matter is that it has an X in the title, so it will surely be lapped up by a large number of X-fans, regardless of content. In light of Hank's recent crisis of identity in the pages of Astonishing X-Men however, It might not be too outlandish to hope that this book may address some of Beast's issues. It also might not be too much to hope that the creative team take-over (in some small measure) where Mr Whedon left-off. Marvel's finest have shown that they have it in them to expertly sculpt some of their creations in the smallest amount of page- time; Fabian Nicieza's take on Tom Cassidy in X-Force #31, or DeFilippis and Weir's comparative character explorations of Rahne Sinclair and Laurie Collins in New Mutants #10 being two fine examples. The problem with X-Men Unlimited #10 however, is that it is being helmed by acclaimed author Joe Meno, someone who has never before had the opportunity to tackle Marvel's merry mutants. Will it follow suit as an inconsequential yet altogether pleasant tale, or could it be a case of a diamond in the rough? Both beastly exploits start promisingly enough as SPOILERS! Beast wonders "To whom does a creature like me go to find answers?" In the second tale we get warned of the impending menace of "The lonely wandering ghost, a boogeyman, a monster...which stirs in the solitude of the night". Meno's first effort stems from Hank's present, the other from his past. The first story basically tells the tale of Hank gaining increased responsibility at the Xavier Institute, whereas the second story would show Hank returning to his hometown following his initial transformation. In After school-special we are introduced to some new students at Graymalkin Lane, all of whom seek guidance from Dr McCoy. The various kids are seen suffering through various crises involving their lives at the institute as well as their impending careers in the outside world. It's pleasant enough really, but therein lies the inherent and predicted problem. It really matters not one whit. Hank doesn't progress as a character at all. He just encounters some kids and their myriad of problems. The story does nothing to further explore Beast's inner turmoil, as what it boils down to is just an average day at the Xavier Institute. None of the new characters are especially interesting and despite the enjoyable if expected ending, there really is nothing here of notable interest to anyone that isn't a die-hard Beast fan. Ghost in the Graveyard is a marked improvement over the first story. An intended focus on Hank himself is instantly more enticing, especially considering the promising but ultimately misleading opening-lines of After school-special. It is interesting to note that this tale (which focuses on Hank's return home to his folks following his lab accident) manages to address Hank's discomfort with his appearance, not by focusing on his own predicament, but on the manner in which his home town and how the lives there have changed. Meno tries to lend a more sinister air to the proceedings SPOILERS! by announcing the deaths of numerous animals in the area and attributing the blame to some malevolent presence in the graveyard , but the revelation of the story's actual villain, is actually dwarfed in terms of importance, when Hank (with the help of his old friend Rachel Nyles) comes to a sense of realization about his own troubled life. His final, poignant declaration SPOILERS! that "perhaps then, a ghost is nothing more than a memory of who we once were, before we become what we must" points again to Hank's need to bury his insecurities and put on his token brave-face. It is a sad but familiar take on the life of our furry blue buddy. The artwork in both stories is thoroughly acceptable. Paco Medina's cheerful and playful pencils seem to suit the cheeky melodrama of the Xavier Institute students and despite a glaringly obvious mistake SPOILERS! where Jaime Vanderwall voices her utter disgust after being turned-down by the University of her choice yet still manages to be smiling maniacally, it's still quite an inviting effort. Likewise, the darker and somewhat more brooding pencils in the second tale, prove to be quite apt, especially considering the tortured soul of the protagonist within. For those of you that are curious, the artwork bears similarities to some of Sean Phillips most recent work on Uncanny X-Men. What are we to do with X-Men Unlimited #10? An agreeable but ultimately forgettable first story paves the way for a second adventure, that is short on thrills, or any truly valuable character exposition, but still manages to be quite enjoyable. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place for some quality page-time, for one of the most deserving of X-Men, but given the sheer volume of titles out there, surely someone can spare a thought for one of the least merry of mutants, who has been around since the very beginning? Passable, but far from Astonishing.
