MOMOA as CONAN?



He has the height, a better voice for Conan than Arnold and many seem to forget that he is also half German-Irish as well as Hawaiian (which gives him the bronze skin).

Many have criticized his build the most.

Hmmm... things just got interesting.

The Comic Book Database is an excellent source for finding the books comic creators have worked on. It even listed a couple of books I was credited on as a writer. Bibliography

AFTER THE SPLICE

Heard Vic Chestnutt play in the 90's at the old Knitting Factory.
His live acoustic performance of his austere song, Swelters etched into memory.

Vic Chestnutt, no longer amongst the millions.

KILL THE DEMON


Preview of my WHAT IF special can be seen here.
Available this Wednesday at all fine comic shop establishments.
"What If special based on the seminal early 80s Daredevil run by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson!
By Karl Bollers (WOLVERINE: HUNGER) and Rafael Kayanan"
Portion from ComicsBulletin.com's review by Dave Wallace:
I probably would have given the issue a score of 3 bullets had it not been for the excellent artwork of Rafael Kayanan, which is strong enough to push it just above the average rating. The opening pages are particularly arresting, with a wonderfully moody close-up of Elektra that's followed by an explosive action shot of a wounded helicarrier, before giving way to some slightly more restrained flashback sequences. Even in these quieter scenes, however, Kayanan finds a way to make the pages visually interesting, with strong design elements in the artwork (for example, the page in which Stick disarms Elektra), a great use of light and colour (as seen in the montage page that shows Elektra training with Nick Fury) and some delicate handling of occasionally disturbing imagery (such as the aftermath of the massacre in the Kingpin's HQ, or the scene in which Elektra discovers the Advocate's "gallery").
