Spectacular Art of Andie Tong

Andie Tong is the regular artist of the Spectacular Spider-Man's UK comic book. Now I haven't read any of the issues, but I did come across his deviant art page last night, which feature some of the pages from what looks to be a superb comic.

I love all the quirky posses Andie draws Spidey in. He also does a terrific job on the webbing and the half-mask. I can take big or small eyes on a Spider-Man mask, but I think Andie gets the right combo. The eyes aren't too big and they aren't too small.

Andie also draws a very excellent Green Goblin. It'd be sweet if he could do the art for some of the Spider books in the states.
James Offredi does the coloring on Andie's artwork. Needless to say, James does an amazing job, making Andie's already gorgeous art look even better.

I know its only artwork and I haven't read any of these issues, but from what I've seen, it looks like the stories in the Spectacular Spider-Man UK book are a heck of a lot more interesting than the garbage that's infesting Amazing Spider-Man.

The crew behind the book even won an Eagle Award for all of their hard work. Looks like it was well-deserved. You can check out more of Andie's stuff here. Congratulations on the award and keep up the good work, guys!

Advanced Idea Mechanics.

They're a technology-based group that tend to appear more in Iron Man, but Spidey has clashed with things they've created, such as the Super Adaptoid (Web of Spidey #100) and the Dreadnought 2000s (Spec Spidey Annual #12).

I think Andie has admiration to the art of Todd McFarlane and Mark Bagley, the way Spidey swings with spaghetti webbing and how his half face half mask looks like Ultimate Spidey.

This thing makes me want to read more of Mark Millers and Terry Dodsons job from MK: Spider-Man, and I want to collect these issue too.

Peter and M.J are dating? Not married? At least he and M.J are together. Does this M.J know that Peter is Spider-Man? Peter seems to be living in his aunts house.

Wait, guys, are you telling me that there is an original Spidey comic being published in England? That don’t seem fair to us folks here. I mean, they get our comics as reprints, shouldn’t we get reprints of theirs?

Someone tell me to whom I’m supposed to write!

Composer Shout Out: Yuji Ohno

For my money, one of the best composers in the music business would have to be Yuji Ohno. This guys is mostly known for his work on just about anything that has to do with Lupin III. After the last few weeks, it's hard for me not to think of Ohno's compositions when Lupin comes to mind. (I've been listening to his various albums to get my jazz fix.) Ohno's works are primarily jazz-inspired and even some of his earliest efforts on Lupin music in the '70s is still considered extraordinary. Not only has he covered music for the various Lupin series and movies, he's also done music for all three PS2 Lupin games. The man is also an accomplished musical genius even when he isn't working on music for Lupin. Tokyo City Lights is a jazz masterpiece. If you want to hear some of Ohno's work, just check out this YouTube pag e with various uploads.

R.I.P Mickey Mouse

In case you haven't heard , Wayne Allwine, the voice actor of Mickey Mouse passed away at the age of 62. He had been voice the world's most famous mouse since 1977. The original voice actor for Mickey was Walt Disney himself. Allwine's imitation of Disney's voice was spot on. Most of the the Mickey Mouse cartoons I've seen were voiced by Allwine. 'Tis a sad day in cartoon history. R.I.P, Wayne Allwine.

Justice League: Doom

Watching DVDs on the computer is nice but sometimes it's better to watch them on TV. So after some thinking, I decided to get myself a new DVD player. This one is by Sony and it only set me back $40. Why didn't I get a Blu-Ray player? Because I'm not 100% sold on them. Besides, I hear the PS3 is a good Blu-Ray player as opposed to the PS2's DVD playback functionality, which was crap. When I get a PS3, I'll have Blu-Ray, so I can wait. And yet, when I bought my new DVD player, I picked up my first Blu-Ray movie. Well it came with Blu-Ray and DVD. Justice League: Doom is the latest DC Universe animated film. How prepared is Batman? Prepared to take down his own teammates, if it becomes necessary. Based off the Justice League of America: Tower of Babel story written by Mark Waid, JL: Doom explores Batman's paranoid nature. Batman has taken measures to stop each member of the Justice League should they ever go rouge or sub-come to mind control from ...
