I’m brushing up on some old character designs for future use… Thanks again to Mike Altman who said I wasn’t allowed to draw Monkeys (for some strange reason) when I was in a drawing workshop he ran. After I vetoed llamas (under the excuse that they couldn’t tell me the difference between a llama and an alpaca) I was given raccoons- which led to a lovely raccoon filled arc. Who knows I might try a Rocket Raccoon doodle before the month is out.
Today, I finally was able to pick up this week’s comics (still need to actually read them) Sadly, I have gotten to the point where I’m not reading as much “mainstream” stuff. With the “New 52” at DC and the current destruction of the Ultimate Marvel Universe (I know it’s going to come back in a few months, but still could we do without all the world ending drama and just tell a good character driven story. SO what was in my comic stack this week? Invincible Universe #9, The Walking Dead #119 (Since I don’t have cable anymore, this is how I get my zombie fix), Manifest Destiny #3, The Shaolin Cowboy #4, Cataclysm: Ultimate Spider-Man #3, Earth 2 #19, Hinterkind #4, and Fairest #22. None of these are all ages, none of these are really geared towards kids. 4 Image titles, 2 Vertigo, 1 Dark Horse, 1 Marvel, and 1 DC. I know Vertigo is DC, but still…
Tonight I had the chance to try out Marvel Legendary… If you didn’t know I’m not into Collectible Card Games. I’ve tried a few and really just never really go into them much. I did the whole collectible miniature game thing starting with MageKnights, and moving to Heroclix. As the rules kept changing I finally stopped playing them. So what did I think of Marvel Legendary? Interesting game play, but I still need to work on actual game… I don’t think it helped that we decided to go against Galactus, that would be like sending Miles Morales against Galactus- Oh, wait, that’s what’s going on in the Ultimate Marvel Universe. Will I play it again? If that’s the game chosen I’ll try it again. Will I go out a buy it? I don’t think so. I bought Ticket to Ride, Quarriors, Boss Monster, and a bunch of other games after playing them once, Marvel Legendary just didn’t hit me like those other ones did. I may grow to like it, but I’m not sure.
