PSP Comics Get DVD Feature: Audio Commentary

Posted by: pspteacher on: December 16, 2009

According to a tweet by comic publisher IDW, we won’t just read comics on the PSP, we’ll hear them as well. At least we’ll hear people talking about them. “Editing more audio tracks from @Templesmith (Ben Templesmith) for Wormwood on the PSP,” one tweet noted. A subsequent message clarified the nature of the audio: “
Recording more @Templesmith commentaries tonight.”

The official PlayStation Digital Comics Twitter account (yes, we’re sourcing another tweet) pointed out the note, saying “I’m so pleased IDW are taking advantage of the optional audio sound track(s) available to publishers.” We agree — it’s nice to know that

the PSP Digital Comics service will add something to the medium beyond a different interface.

The PSP Digital Comics store will launch in several countries today. According to a PSNComics tweet, the US will receive access at noon Pacific time (3PM EST). The European PlayStation Blog states the comics store will open at 5PM GMT in the UK, Ireland (technical issue), Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.

The system will supposedly launch with hundreds of comics from Marvel, IDW, Titan, iVerse and 2000AD. Everything that’s available should be listed on playstationcomics.com after launch. We’re definitely looking forward to taking the service for a test drive with that “free comics” button.

SGT ROCK in Christmas Special

Posted by: pspteacher on: December 11, 2009

clipped from www.newsarama.com

“Return of Sgt. Rock” – as everyone’s favorite soldier appears in this week’s DC Holiday Special 2009!


 

Just like “The Lost Battalion” this story is inspired by actual events that occurred to a real veteran, 501st PIR (101st Airborne) 1st Sgt. Donald L. Deam on Christmas Eve, 1944.   It also serves as homage not only to 1st Sgt. Deam (who sadly passed away in October of 2008) but also to Chuck Dixon and Russ Heath.  “A Peace On Earth” isn’t the first Sgt. Rock Christmas story set in Bastogne during the apex of the Bulge, that distinction goes to Mr.’s Dixon and Heath masterly crafted a wonderful Sgt. Rock story, “A Christmas Carol” that was published in the DCU Holiday Bash II (1998).

SECRET ORIGIN #3: Welcome to Metropolis, Clark



Monday, November 23rd, 2009

By Alex Segura


So long, Smallville; hello, Metropolis. Join Geoff Johns and Gary Frank as they explore a very different Metropolis from the one we currently know – one that has yet to experience life with Superman as its protector. Witness the transformative power one person can have on a city as young Clark Kent joins The Daily Planet, and Superman takes to the skies and gives everyone a reason to look up. Nice way to kick off the week, eh

But that’s not all, gang. TIME’s new pop culture and entertainment blog, TECHLAND, has a few more pages from this issue, featuring Clark’s first encounter with a certain Ms. Lane. So, swing on over and check them out, won’t you?

China – the late 1700’s. High up in the mountains, in a poverty stricken village, lives a young girl. On a bright sunny day she’s called back home to discover that her whole family have been slain in a vendetta attack.

Official Press Release

GEORGE W. BUSH DEFINES HIS OWN LEGACY IN NEW COMIC BIOGRAPHY

Former President George W. Bush will define his own legacy in his own words as the featured subject of an upcoming issue of Bluewater Productions’ Political Power biography comic series.

Political Power: George W. Bush, scheduled for release in December, recaps the eight years of the Bush administration using excerpts from Bush’s speeches, interviews and public appearances, his autobiography and other sources.

Considered by many to be among the United States’ most divisive presidents, Bush’s reign in the White House was riddled with controversy from the start. From questions of the legitimacy of his 2000 election, to his inflexible stance on the “war on terror,” his administration’s definitions of torture and freedom, responses to domestic crises like Hurricane Katrina, and the declining economy, this issue lets Bush’s own words frame his story.
