oh my
there is not often that i get a feeling of a great single issue of a comic. when i was about 15 the x-force issue number 24 was one of these issues, i read it over and over, yet every time getting more out of it. well, i found another, i picked it up on weds. EXCALIBUR #14 by Chris Claremont and Aaron Lopresti. now just to ring my own fan-boy geekdom but well i'll let you know i've been a big fan of aaron's work for a couple of years, as well as the fact that i thrive in any of the the webs that Claremont writes whether it be comics, novels, or articles. I just want to let you know that if you can pick up any single issue this year it has to be this one. if your a fan of the x-men genre (which at this point in my existance they should be considered) get this one. you get a insiders gift of what goes on in the psyche of xavier, magneto,and dr. strange. its a must read/must own for any real fan of the comic industry. though it is just a set up book for the House of M series thats coming out (with the art of Oliver Copiel-whom iv've been pushing on everyone as the next big thing) its much more than that- a look at prof.X's past with ties to magneto and wolverine, as well as his friendship with the sorcerer supreme.-the one question i wish would be brought up in the x-men theater in an objective point of view/ by either prof. X or Mags in which they like any common sensed citizen would relize that there are more than one side to an arguement, and that the other point is very valid. if you get a chance to buy any comic this year make it this one, and if your a friend of mine who didn't like it or wasn't enlightened by my recomendation i'll buy it back from you. -n8

johnny justice
got super bored in my speech final the other day, while listening to the others in my class give speeches i took a flip through one of my sketchbooks, and it had this copy of a bunch of characters on it done by one of my fellow GelatoCafe members Jason Ossman. Ive already done a sketch of his characters(which isn't finished) and i started drawing this one.which i finished today at the laundry mat. the characters name is Johnny Justice. i really like jason's character designs, they like others art often does inspires me to give my take on his characters. if you feel like checking out his stuff its on the gelato cafe site, linked at the bottom, then you just go under pictures and find his name. or check out his blog http://jasonossman.com- cool deal see yah later

adventures in GRINGOLANDIA!
the news that one of my favorite teachers is retiring, ive taken only two of his anthro classes but enjoyed them throughly, he's one of those storyteller type teachers who mixes in a ton of dry humor that keeps class on there toes, he refers to the USA as gringolandia an humorous name that i dig, it would be a fun name for an online strip-maybe showing people just how ubsurd our everyday adventures have become. Maybe i'll do a couple in the future- n8gee
