Kickstarter Spotlight: Sharkasaurus

Kickstarter has been one of the biggest platforms to get your comic book out to the world, and it shows with over 700 projects currently looking to be funded. One of those projects is Sharkasaurus.

Sharkasaurus is a graphic novel about “a pair of star-crossed lovers; the rebellious emo son of Paleontologist falls for promiscuous daughter of a widowed creationist. After they accidentally awaken a prehistoric tunnelling dino-shark, they must evolve their ideological difference or succumb to the inevitable jaws of Sharkasaurus.”

 With the mention of satire and one-liners as well this seems like a very promising and entertaining graphic novel.  Along with the graphic novel, there is also a short movie based it, with a trailer on their Kickstarter page.

The project has reward tiers for every type of budget. 8$ (Canadian) gets you a digital version of the graphic novel (PDF) and a download link for the short movie, which is a sweet deal. For 25$ (plus shipping) you get the physical copy of the graphic novel including any stretch goals and extra.  For the same price, there is currently 44 of 100 First Backer Version available of the physical copy of the book. It comes signed and number, I choose this tier because signed comics and graphic novel are excellent! So if you’re like me, and like signed books get your pledge in ASAP. If you ever wanted your likeness in a graphic novel and have some extra cash Sharkasaurus can make it happen for a pledge of 250$ or more.

Sharkasaurus currently has 94 backers and raised 5,492$ of its 20,000$ goal. There are 23 days left to pledge (July 28th, 2016 12 am EDT) Pledge Here https://t.co/bDMzqsoHoc if you can.

I have survived the annoyance of moving and am happy to be back writing for skatronixxx.com!

I was fortunate enough just shortly after setting up my PC to have a brief meeting through social media with Alex Thomas. He is the Editor of The Pull List a fanzine that launched through PipeDream Comics earlier this spring.

The Pull List is loaded with content via PDF download format. It highlights Digital indy comics and content. From comic previews with links to their sites, to full on reviews, to opinion and advice pieces by indy creators, I found myself wanting to check a few titles and creators  I wasn’t aware of. The fanzine also has a few interviews with creators.

The Pull list is organised, and there are not too many ads. They have a top 30 picks for Comixology  Submit (Digital comics platform for publishing original comic book content) in the first issue. They also give some attention to current comic books campaigns on  Kickstarter. 

The PipeDream Comics site has recommendations for digital comics apps for IOS, as well as alternative apps to Comixology. There is also information on how to create digital comics.

The Pull List is released Quarterly and costs £0.99  per issue at gumroad.com/pipedreamcomics 

There are currently two issues out, and issue #1 is free with the option to name a fair price (support if you’re able to).

If you are a fan of the fanzine format, The Pull List is worth the investment. I found myself engaged and wanting to read the content continually.

Hey Skatronixxx followers and occasional readers!

You guys are AWESOME, just in case you didn’t already know that. (Occasional readers, we love you and we really, really want you to follow us, lol).

You may have noticed that we are growing…. we are aiming for World Domination! To get us there, in addition to the writers and regular articles you have come to know and love, we have new writers, and new features. My contribution to the newness of it all is going to be a weekly post called ICYMI – This Week in Skatronixxx, which will feature a few of our weekly posts and news,  just in case you missed them. This is the very first article, and since it is the first, I’ve included quite a lot. Read on for details of the past week.  It was a busy one!

DHMIS Day 6: HUH!?

“looks like someone is having a bad dream!”

It is a bad dream indeed, since DHMIS reached its conclusion today ago, and I still can’t believe it’s over.

DHMIS Day 5: Healthy

The fifth and so far latest DHMIS video teaches us about health!

It is so far the weirdest and darkest episode. There is an eerie feeling with this one that starts from the very beginning, and the eeriness only grows more intense with every second that passes, leading to the final epically creepy twist near the end.

DHMIS Day 4: Computer

The fourth episode of DHMIS is like a direct hit at modern use of computers and internet, and how can you talk about internet without mentioning social media.

Smackdown 9/6/2016

Welcome to today’s coverage of Smackdown! Things are all setting into place for MITB with only one more Smackdown to go before the PPV. Let’s see if there will be any last minute developments before it arrives.

We start with AJ Styles and the Club coming out to boos, man they’re so over as heels and its only been two weeks. Never mind,they sound very artificial towards the end.  AJ Styles opens up to describe the upcoming MITB as the GOAT, I have to say I kind of agree, the card is stacked. The crowd starts chanting Cena’s name before he can finish. Thankfully AJ is a profesional and rolls with the punches, really shows his experience in comparison to those who corpse under the pressure (Charlotte). As AJ plays hypeman to The Club, the future tag team champions, Enzo and Cass come out(!!!). They’ve been on the roster for a few months now and I’m still filled with childish glee when their music hits. Cass christens them ‘The Mr Clean dream’.  The Club can keep up with Enzo and Cass hit for hit on this promo, I didn’t actually expect that. Enzo and Cass then take the stage for a tag team match.

The Club vs Enzo and Cass

I was really excited for this match during commercials, then The New Day came out on commentary and completely stole the show. As Byron feeds them grapes and they completely steal the commentary. We get a great set up for a hot tag, with Enzo getting battered and missing out on the tag multiple times. These teams are perfect for eachother, putting on a great match. The Vaudevillains come out and watch from the stage top. The match lights up when Enzo gets the tag and Cass puts on a great show dominating the Club. After a big boot puts gallows over the ropes and The Vaudevillains descend and The New Day go to meet them the match turns into chaos.  When the dust clears Enzo and Cass are the only two left in the ring, yelling at The Vaudevillains while The New Day drive off The Club. Man I’m actually so hype for this chaos match up, it’ll probably end up being pretty short though with all of those variables.

Match ends in No Contest

We then get a spot in memory of Muhammed Ali who died earlier this week. We get a part on Ali’s relationship with the WWE and his influence in the ring, Gorgeous George. As we see clips of Ali taking on wrestlers and his iconic appearance as referee in Wrestlemania I. The memorial is a heartfelt message from the WWE and I’m glad they saved the time for it.

Oh never mind, they’re using it to progress Rusev as a heel. As he declares himself to be the true GOAT and Titus comes out to argue against it I can’t help but cringe at how forced it feels. You can tell that no one there has their heart in the poor segment and it wasn’t really needed at all.

Cesaro and Sami Zayn vs Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio

I can’t reiterate enough how glad I am that Creative knows how good these guys are together, but I’m not sure where they can go after MITB. The match goes well but is a bit vanilla until Kevin Owens calls it quits and walks off. I loved Del Rio’s face as he heard ‘Y’know what? you’re doing great on your own.’ Rather than turning the match into a 2 on 1, Zayn runs out after KO . The tag team match turns into a 1 on 1 with an interesting beginning. These two have been in the business long enough to know how to put on a good match and it shows, they carry the match until Zayn and Owens return, fighting down the ramp. Del Rio confronts KO about his desertion and they come to blows outside the ring before Zayn comes flying in to interrupt. The match continues with some great moves in ring before the ring is inhabited only by bodies. Cesaro continues fighting Del Rio until KO drags Del Rio out of the ring and steals the tag from him for the win. Organised chaos is so much fun with these guys.

Winner by Pinfall, Kevin Owens and Alberto Del Rio

Becky Lynch vs Dana Brooke

This Brooke/Charlotte run just seems like a replacement for the Brooke/Emma relationship. I still don’t think she’s strong enough to be on the main roster at the moment, maybe if she had more time to develop before being thrown in with Charlotte. Anyway, this match saw the typical interruptions that come with Heel Charlotte in an otherwise slow match. It seems as if the match was only there for Natalya and Charlotte at ringside, the moment they’re ejected, the match is over in seconds. God I hope they don’t turn this Becky Lynch push into another Natty push. She deserves more.

Winner by Submission, Becky Lynch

Life Lessons with Coach Backlund

NO PLEASE STOP! ENOUGH! Wait is Backlund gonna come out as Young’s manager when he comes back?

Baron Corbin vs Kalisto

They’re still pushing the Corbin/Ziggler feud so we have Dolph as commentary for this match. What has to be done to end the feud? Hopefully it isn’t on the MITB card. As history has shown, Kalisto can work really well with big guys and Corbin is no exception. both athletes work really well to put on a stiff looking match, including a nasty looking whip into the steel sides of the ring from Corbin. The match doesn’t get enough time to shine unfortunately, with an end of days ending the match before it can get too good. I elt that this match could have had a little bit more time dedicated to it, if Kalisto had held onto the US Title, I wouldn’t have been against a title match between the two.

Winner by Pinfall, Baron Corbin

Time to double up on fulfilling contractual obligations. Get that TMNT promo in, get that Apollo Crews promo in… A bit shoehorned but eh, it was ok.

Dean Ambrose vs Chris Jericho

Continuing the trend of ‘Feuds that I thought were over’, we have another Ambrose/Jericho match up. I do enjoy this relationship though, Heel Jericho running away after screaming at Ambrose about the thumb-tacks of Extreme Rules. Heel Jericho is a treasure to the WWE, but as he flings a drink at Ambrose and continues screaming, I can’t help but become more aware of how bored I am with this feud. Don’t get me wrong, they’re both incredibly talented and out on a good match, but these two need to move on. The chain of pins before Ambrose ascends the turn buckle had me fully invested in the match. The competitors using newer moves that haven’t been seen in the rivalry was refreshing, with Ambrose using Lucha moves in an attempt to win. In the end, a CodeBreaker ends the matchup, as Jericho gets a hard fought victory over Ambrose.

Winner by Pinfall, Chris Jericho

An attempt to get rid of Ambrose before MITB ends with Jericho getting a ladder to the face after the end of the match. This turns into an elbow drop from the top of said ladder to close out Smackdown today. Overall, I think this would be a suitable final Smackdown before MITB, but it isn’t. I’m dreading how weak next weeks Smackdown coud potentially be.

‘Hannibal’ Creator Named Showrunner For CBS ‘Star Trek’ Tv Show

Bryan Fuller, the man behind critically acclaimed shows Pushing Daisies and Hannibal, has been named show runner for CBS’s forthcoming Star Trek Tv series. Which will mark a homecoming for the Producer and screenwriter who cut his teeth writing for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek: Voyager.

CBS also announced that Alex Kurtzman, who has worked as a writer and producer on the recent Star Trek movies, will serve as Executive-Producer and Co-Creator alongside Fuller. Little detail is known as to whether the series will take place within the Tv continuity established by the original series in 1966 or if it will serve as a spin-off for the alternate timeline of the Kurtzman films.

In a statement released by Fuller, the show runner confirmed his love for the Star Trek universe revealing that his “very first experience of Star Trek is my oldest brother turning off all the lights in the house and flying his model of a D7 Class Klingon Battle Cruiser through the darkened halls. Before seeing a frame of the television series, the Star Trek universe lit my imagination on fire.”

He continued to express that “It is without exaggeration a dream come true to be crafting a brand-new iteration of Star Trek with fellow franchise alum Alex Kurtzman and boldly going where no Star Trek series has gone before.”

Kurtzman also reciprocated the sentiments shared, remarking that “bringing Star Trek back to television means returning it to its roots, and for years those roots flourished under Bryan’s devoted care. His encyclopedic knowledge of Trek canon is surpassed only by his love for Gene Roddenberry’s optimistic future, a vision that continues to guide us as we explore strange new worlds.”

The new series will be the first show made for CBS All Access, the networks Video on demand and live streaming service, and will air in early  2017. The show will have a special preview event on the Network with the rest of the episode being exclusive the VOD service with international markets receiving the show via traditional Tv services and other streaming services around the world.

‘Michael Fassbender’ Reveals New Information On ‘Assassins Creed’

Hollywood star Michael Fassbender opens up about his latest film Assassins Creed in a recent article on Empire Online.

In the interview, Fassbender likens the popular game adaptation to seminal sci-fi film The Matrix explaining “the idea of DNA memory elevates it from a basic fantasy genre [story]. Because you have something an audience can actually believe in.“

Realistic elements also extend to how the film was shot with the British actor revealing that the film used “very little green screen” which Fassbender described as “highly unusual.” Fans will also be glad to hear that the game franchise’s classic ‘leap of faith’ will be in the film with the actor disclosing that the stunt was done by professionals using wires.

The film, also starring Marion Cotillard and Ariane Labed, wrapped in January with the film expected for release on December 21, 2016.
