Three Days And Counting

Just a reminder to look at the last blog.  If you want the ticking briefcase, please make sure you send an email to bradmeltzer44 AT gmail.com with the subject:  I’M IN.

Need Help

Never tried this before, but I have faith in this community...

So...

Looking for some real volunteers to help us get the word out for a top secret project on Tuesday, September 2nd. This is different than anything we've ever tried. It involves creators you love. And of course it involves my research into Superman. This is the big one. So if you're game, email me with the subject line I'M IN at bradmeltzer44 at gmail.com.

Instructions will go out midnight on Monday and hopefully, if we all survive, we'll have something to be truly proud of soon after that.

Trust me.

Last Will Comes Out Tomorrow

After a full year (longer?) absence, I finally get back to the real business of comics on Wednesday as DC Comics publishes Last Will & Testament. And yes, I’ve had this story in my head since JLA. If I had two more issues, this is what I would’ve told. The odd part is, I thought someone else in a different book was going to tell the tale (or wrap it up differently), but when they didn’t, well...this was the perfect format. So there’s where the Geo-Force/Deathstroke storyline comes from. As for the rest...there’s lots of good stuff planned this year. Just like JLA 0, hints abound throughout the issue.

And as for Adam Kubert (and did I mention his guest inker Joe Kubert?), just wait till you see his Deathstroke. I miss comics so damn much.

A preview has been posted on Newsarama.

And watch here over the next week. Lots of cool stuff coming.

Nerd Panel!

Finally got it — the Comic-Con panel (one of my favorites I’ve ever been on) with Paul Feig (creator of Freaks & Geeks), David Goyer (Batman Begins), Chip Kidd (The Learners), Whitney Matheson (USA Today's Pop Candy blog), and me -- five people who work in television, film, the graphic arts, journalism, and novels. But all have comics in common.

Hear the discussion on the influence comics play in their work. It's a 21st century Breakfast Club—but with better references. Moderated by audiobook master Scott Brick (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant). A full fifty minutes of nerd gold.

All here.

Physics IS Cool

This is my favorite new song. Rapping about physics!

Best part is the I can hear sSupersonic and Rob Bass in the background.

CERN rap video about the Large Hadron Collider creates a black hole of awesomeness

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Aug 8th 2008 at 3:29PM

Been having a tough time figuring out just what CERN's Large Hadron Collider does? Worried that it will create a Möbius strip (a rip in the fabric of space where time becomes a loop)? Just love to jam? Watch this CERN-sponsored rap after the break, and have your universe totally destroyed. Er, but not for real.
