NYCC 11 – First Thoughts

Posted on by

As always, I had an amazing time at a comic book convention.  While I go to check out the latest releases and the new talent in Artist’s Alley, it’s the friendships I’ve made that makes it worth it (sappy I know).  The 2011 New York Comic Con was fantastic and seemed about a quarter to 50% bigger this year than last.

While the floor was amazing, the convention rooms were a bit packed and there were quite a few panels I wasn’t able to get into (bummer).  Hopefully that gets fixed next year.  The people attending were fantastic with great costumes and attitudes that made it fun for everyone. The displays weren’t as impressive, I saw most at San Diego earlier this year.  But, I got to see my name on the cover of Archaia‘s Critical Millennium hard cover, I giggled every time I saw it.

Here’s the checklist of the thoughts on top of my head:

  • Always great seeing Charles Soule and Len Wallace (and Jessica), good friends and great talents.  I especially had fun sitting behind Charle’s table and selling some of his comics for a bit (27 and Strongman).  Also chatting with Drew Gaska as always was fun, some day we’ll figure out a time for a radio interview.
  • Fantastic to hang out with Chip “Cuddles” Mosher and get to know the comiXology crew.  They’re an upcoming tech company everyone should be watching.
  • I bumped in BOOM! Studios and Ross Ritchie and some of his team.  Such nice folks.
  • The CBLDF deserves your support people!  Get involved!
  • I still don’t get anime and manga but the GEN Manga folks were so nice.
  • I got to meet a great talent Palle Schmidt and can’t wait to spotlight him more.  So smart and interesting to talk to.  He opened my eyes on a few things I’ve covered with a better perspective.
  • The Reed Pop crew do an amazing job putting together shows.
  • Mel and Archaia, Filip and Top Cow are class acts, so happy to see them every show.

Best items I returned home with besides the stacks of comics and graphic novels to read…

  • A new guitar pic for Charles Soule‘s 27 in honor of the launch of the second volume
  • I finally bought show exclusives including Hasbro‘s Hulk and the Spidey/Fireman Mini-mate
  • I got Spidey Mega Blocks!
  • DC had one of the oddest promotions, a light up Kryptonite ice cube to promote Smallville.
  • I grabbed both AKA video games, such a creative promotion.

And that’s it for convention season for me…. until 2012.

Review – Critical Millennium #4

Critical Millennium #4 CoverI’ve been praising this series and though it took a while to get here, the final issue of the first volume, Critical Millennium #4 shows off so much of what I’ve loved.  A sci-fi series by Drew Gaska, Critical Millennium chronicles the journey of Thomm as he leads a crew into space to escape a doomed Earth.  Gaska does what sci-fi does best, acts as a parable about modern times.  Not only do you have a dysfunctional world, but there’s also commentary on racism, today’s entertainment, all thrown together with political intrigue.

The dramatic conclusion to the first miniseries! The gravitic drive vessel Black Rabbit is on the pad for its earthborn launch to new worlds! Prime Minister Blacklytter bans public transmission of the lift off! The Wraith infiltrates the launch bay with the intent of hijacking the starship! Young John Adams makes a stand for his beliefs, and pays the ultimate price! Disaster strikes New Bombay, heralding the end of Hope itself! Angel Rei stares long and hard into a bottle of sleeping pills! Countess Watwani races to stop her husband from committing genocide! All this, and Coney, Eryc and Pandita find their flight out-system blocked by a police force!

As all points converge, will Thomm finally realize his grandparents’ dream of a new beginning for mankind, and a future amongst the stars?

Everything is here and though, the first issue tells you whether Thomm has lift-off, there was still more than enough to keep me on the edge of my seat to see what comes next.  Also, so much is revealed as far as the motivation of the Ghosts, and let me tell you, who has been pulling their strings isn’t what you’d expect.

There’s an amazing mix of humor (some of which made me pause and say “holy shit”) and action and all together it’s done in the finest tradition of science fiction.  The art by Daniel Dussault is amazing as well, as I’d expect.  His style if made for the digital medium, and both printed and digital jump out at you.  The details this man can do is amazing.

If you haven’t picked up the first three issues, the trade version of it will be out soon, and I’ll already put that as a buy.  There’s a reason this comic is consistently a Pick of the Week and here’s hoping we won’t have to wait too long for the next volume.

10 Questions with Drew Gaska

Posted on by

Critical Millennium 003 CoverDrew Gaska is a hell of a writer and turns out puts a lot of thought into what he’s putting out?  Don’t believe me?  Check out his commentary about the third issue of his fantastic series Critical Millennium.  The series blends sci-fi with some fantastic themes and plot lines involving politics, race, the environment and business.  A lot to pack into a comic book and especially one this damn good.

With a his book being so consistently good we were psyched to have Drew step up and take part in 10 Questions.

Graphic Policy: First let me say thank you for taking the time to answer these questions.  I guess the first question would be where the idea of Critical Millennium came from?

Andrew Gaska: I was concerned for the state of science fiction! The concept of Critical Millennium was conceived in the mid 90s by myself and my former writing partner, Christian Berntsen, before he left the project in my charge.

Initially Critical Millennium was a smaller project called Variable Action Guard: Paperdoll. It was a kind of bad girl book – all the rage at the time of its conception. Paperdoll was a story about a super sexy secret agent – a sort of “Jane Bond” –working on the galactic fringe, but instead of gadgets, she would get replacement body parts that would help her get the job done. The thing about Paperdoll was, we wanted to trick readers into buying a bad girl book and find out that it had real story and amazing characters in it. The main character looked like a buxom bad girl, but was going to witness the brutal slaying of her sister in the first issue, and find out she was pregnant by the fifth – and the crux of the storylines were to revolve around the themes of loss and rebirth. It was in planning out the backstory of how mankind got into space, and how the frontier got to be such a bad place that her services were needed there, that the roots of what is now the Critical Millennium came to be. The Paperdoll concept is still very much a part of the Critical Millennium universe, but won’t actually appear until the second half of the 1000 years of mankind’s rise and fall in outer space.

As for the backstory as I developed it, I think a lot of it came out of the times. The mid 90s wasn’t kind to sci-fi. The classic Trek crew had said their goodbyes in STVI, Next Generation was leaving the airways for a series of lackluster wannabe action flicks, and the emerging sci-fi fixes were the likes of Voyager, Babylon 5, the Stargate movie, and Independence Day. It was a dark time for popular science fiction, and no one was saying what I wanted to – what I felt needed to – be said.

Socially, I was concerned for NASA. It had almost been a decade since the Challenger accident, and it seemed like the space program had come to a complete stop. There would be no moon base by the year 1999, and we weren’t even close to thinking about Mars. I started to worry about what would happen if we had some kind of global catastrophe, and how would mankind survive.

My friends – and my girlfriends especially – at the time thought I was nuts, and that money spent on the space program would be a waste when we needed to deal with problems here on earth.

Ironically, Stephen Hawking made a statement only two months after Critical Millennium’s release last summer that basically validates everything I have said for the past fifteen years, making me think that there is a rhyme and rhythm as to why it took so long for Critical Millennium to be published. Hawking said: “The human race shouldn’t have all its eggs in one basket, or on one planet. Our only chance of long-term survival is not to remain inward looking on planet Earth, but to spread out into space. Our population and our use of the finite resources of planet Earth are growing exponentially, along with our technical ability to change the environment for good or ill.”

It feels good to be vindicated.

Critical Millennium #3 Commentary with Drew Gaska

Posted on by

Bookmark and Share

We’ve praised the comic book series Critical Millennium with it’s fantastic sci-fi tale and relevant topical discussions.  With the release of the third issues this week, writer Andrew E. C. Gaska was nice enough to take some time to give us some commentary on the latest issue and series.

Warning Spoilers!

Critical Millennium 003 Preview_PG1

Graphic Policy: What made you decide to open up this way; it’s about a third way in.  Considering what goes on further down the issue, did you consider using that accident for this scene?

Andrew E. C. Gaska: I wanted to open with a mystery that people would probably forget about, and then find out that it tied into the ending of the book as well. I know that sounds convoluted, but I am approaching Critical Millennium from a ‘stream of consciousness’ point of view.

I guess I am a little tired of linear storytelling. Thoughts we have seldom occur chronologically, as we encounter things that trigger synapses to fire in our heads, we remember other things that have happened in our lives. It’s like when you start to tell a story to a friend and then realize you left out a crucial part and suddenly say, “Wait – before that happened there was this.” Your friend might get confused a little long the way, but all the pieces fit into place to you. In traditional terms, that is story fail. I wanted to see if I could take that concept and make it story win – where the readers can follow it despite it’s jumping around all the time.

The thing about Critical Millennium is that technically the entire first run of several miniseries is flashbacks within flashbacks. It’s a look back at the things that led to the opening of the first issue: the crazy lone captain encountering an unknown force at the edge of space. It is kind of a crazy way to tell a story – because I am not even telling it linearly backwards as is done sometimes, but instead as haphazardly as the mind works, but it’s a challenge that I am thoroughly enjoying the outcome of.

Review – Critical Millennium: The Dark Frontier #3

Posted on by

Bookmark and Share

Critical Millennium 003 CoverScience fiction is a genre that often wraps it’s stories in metaphors for issues of our times.  Critical Millennium: The Dark Frontier written by Andrew E. C. Gaska and art by Daniel Dussault keeps up that fine tradition.  The story’s main focus is Earth’s destruction from mankind’s veracious appetite and a young multimillionaire’s vision to head to the stars in an attempt to colonize a planet and save us.

One thousand years of mankind’s rise and fall in space! To avert the path all thought unavoidable, a bold group of explorers takes the first steps toward leaving Earth’s solar system. Their quest: new worlds to colonize, so that humanity may yet have yet a chance at survival. Led by philanthropist Thomm Coney, and utilizing an untried star–drive, the team is scorned by the world’s government and canonized by its citizens. In this issue: Coney, Eryc, Pandita and Angel Rei return to Earth amidst a media circus! In the aftermath of the flooding of the Ghost Sector of New Bombay, the world debates over what to do with the survivors—no one wants them. With the completed Black Star Drive Vessel transported via cargo carrier to Earth, and political tensions over its impending launch running high, young John Adams find himself entrenched deep within the new Ghost Army. The leader—a man known only as the Wraith—initiates a series of terrorist attacks designed to kill the would-be-astronauts and destroy their ship in a bid to stop the mission to the stars!

The themes covered in the series and third issue are numerous.  Race, the environment, politics, manifest destiny, terrorism and business are all covered in just this issue alone.  The buildup to the launch of the Dark Star vessel continues as we see what the crew goes through to prepare as well as all of the people circling in an attempt to stop their launch.

There’s a lot of zigs and zags with my assumptions early on being proved wrong by the end.  This is only a four issue limited series, but, it’s an absolute buy.

Critical Millennium #2 CoverWow, just wow.  Critical Millennium: The Dark Frontier #2 is an amazing sci-fi comic book with some great social statements as well.  This issue builds up through the testing of of the experimental engine that will take mankind far into the stars to seek a new home.

The chronicle of one thousand years of mankind’s rise and fall in outer space continues! Traveling to the outer system colonies with pop singer Angel Rei in tow, Thomm Coney and Eryc Kartoneas witness the first test launch of the experimental engine that will propel them to their destiny! But the Blackstar drive utilizes miniature black holes to catapult vessels to other worlds, and as the test begins, Thomm finds himself wondering, “Just what happens to Earth system if a black hole doesn’t close?” While the entrepreneurs are off world, natural calamity strikes New Bombay! In the devastated slums of the Ghost Quarter, the man called the Wraith rises to power, organizing the despondent Ghosts into a fanatical terrorist regime. Their focus: The death of those who would dare take mankind to the stars!

The sci-fi angle alone is a great read.  But writer Andrew E. C. Gaska goes further and adds a statement on the environment, terrorism and race.  The sub story of the caste called “ghosts” adds a layer that just enriches the overall universe.  Another layer is added with the environmental disaster in New Bombay, a future version of Katrina.

On top of Gaska’s amazing writing you have spectacular art from Daniel Dussault.  The combination of these two make a comic that’s a must buy, and one of the best surprises so far this year.
