For the first time in more than a decade, audiences and critics alike are applauding the work of the once beloved, now suspiciously loathed, director M. Night Shyamalan. His most recent work, “Split” (2017) is a suspense/horror picture about a man (James McAvoy) with disassociative identity disorder who kidnaps three girls. Because it is a Shyamalan […]
Christmas isn’t complete without a blazing yule log in the fireplace. For those without fireplaces, we offer our Christmas greeting card instead. For the interest of those who do have fireplaces, we have also included an image of a lovely superheroine, Pittsburgh’s cutest thermokinetic vigilante, Corona. And for those who have everything, we offer a […]
Our Christmas present to you is this East End Irregulars short story, starring none of the Irregulars. But it does have lots of other stars, and also Caduceus, the bio-psychokinetic doctor-in-training and sometimes ally of the Irregulars we introduced in The Dismal Tide. Two new sketches also accompany the story. This is not a tale […]
Christmas comes in three days and the year 2016 will soon be behind us. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. ‘What, no new books??’ Obviously we will not be putting out any new Ascension Epoch titles in the waning days of this year. Shell and I actually have six in progress, plus a comic, but […]
I saw Dr. Strange over the weekend. While I can’t say I was excited about its prospects, I was certainly curious about the treatment this first-rate-but-third-string character would receive, especially considering that in tone and concept, Dr. Strange inhabits a very different part of the Marvel Universe than the Avengers. While the mysterious sorcerer from Bleecker […]
Friend and AE contributor Colin Richards recently posted a recap of his very impressive Drawlloween effort. Not only did he manage to draw 31 full-color illustrations in October, but he also shot a video for each of them. As anyone who has ever attempted the old “Do Something Everyday For a Month” routine can attest, that’s […]
Howdy, Ascension Epoch fans. Presto here. My artist-sense was tingling, and I sensed that you needed more Corona and Cascade in your life. How could I deny you fine folks that? First up is a bit of ballpoint pen on Post-It note art. This is one of my favorite formats, and Corona needed an update, […]
In today’s #SaturdayScenes, Pete Halstein, aka Bulwark, the accidental hero of our superhero occult adventure novel Copper Knights and Granite Men, receives a challenge from an unexpected corner: his television! “Hey, this is real life. It ain’t like professional wrestling where it’s all scripted and nobody’s worried about getting hurt, you know. And that ain’t […]
Shell and I have a whole line of Ascension Epoch action figures (all 3.75″ or 1/18th scale, usually based on G.I. Joe, Star Wars, and Marvel Universe figures) in various stages of completion. Here’s Torrent. OK, so his hair needs to be painted dark brown, not to mention a pair of arms, but I […]
It’s the middle of the year, and we thought you, our readers, would enjoy some insight into our works in progress as of today. And I do mean works in progress — Mike and I have a couple different burners going, with all the best fiction we can offer simmering. So here’s what we have […]
Thank you for your interest. I am a sci-fi fan and love (...)
I enjoy attending these events but the biggest complaint I (...)
