Decorum #1 Review
Decorum #1 is really two different issues: one of them fascinating, the other actually good. To tackle the fascinating first, it’s probably helpful to think about Jonathan Hickman’s broader opus. When he first arrived on the scene with works like Nightly News and Pax Romana, he did comics like we’d never seen before. Marrying his graphic design […]
Empyre: Avengers #0 and Empyre: Fantastic Four #0 Review; or, How Marvel Remembers Itself
Empyre: Avengers #0 and Empyre: Fantastic Four #0 Spoilers Below Comics continuity is intoxicating. It was arguably one of the biggest factors in Marvel’s original popularity in the Sixties, attracting geeks with the promise of total immersion, the promise that this fictional world was real and that it mattered. For all of the storytelling possibilities […]
Godpunk Review
Hey all, just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that Revfitz was kind enough to review 30 serials on his blog this month, and Godpunk was one of the chosen serials! You can check out the review here. I’d also recommend checking out the rest of the reviews, they’re pretty good!
A Goodbye
Wow. After the last couple years spent writing some 300,000 words, split between Kinda Super Gay, Godpunk, A Bad Idea, and Pixel Courage, it seems like I should have so much to say. Sitting here, writing this, it’s hard to get past that simple word. Wow. I posted the first chapter of Kinda Super Gay […]
Pixel Courage 46
Alex grabbed my arm; her hand felt cold. “Chris.” Her voice was weak. “I knew you’d come for me.” “Alex…” She smelled like old age and machine oil. Her skin had wrinkled just a little bit. “I wish you could’ve seen the things that I saw,” she said. “I… You were at the Beta, weren’t […]
Pixel Courage 45
The City of Charon seemed like little more than a blur. It was weird, after having gotten so immersed in this reality, but I realized it didn’t matter. It didn’t matter as much as Alex. A part of me even convinced myself that maybe I didn’t need to say goodbye to Raine. What was the […]
Pixel Courage 44
I sat in my bedroom, having logged off the game. Had to find Alex. Help her. Do what I could. At the same time, my body was killing me. A faint light poured through my window. Bird by the window squaked loudly. 6 AM. Couldn’t remember when I’d even logged on. The skin around my […]
Pixel Courage 43
The priestesses sat with me in a circle in the temple. “It started with an idea,” the priestess explained. “A creative being from the Hero’s world.” “I thought NPCs didn’t believe in the Hero’s world.” “We’re not all the same,” she said. “The Thorn Sage told me,” I said. “The Thorn Sage is… a complicated […]
Pixel Courage 42
I’d completed the mission. Standing back at The Thorny Sword, it felt like there was so much to do. Had to find Alex, find out what her problem was, and try to help her. But there was some comfort in the fact that I had done things: gaining new skills, Attribution Points, and so on. […]
Pixel Courage 41
“C’mon, Chris. Try a sip.” “I really don’t want to.” “It’s good.” “I… “Just a sip.” It was back in college when I tried alcohol for the first time. As with so many things, it was Alex who had to get me out of my comfort zone. “It’s good.” “Yeah, you see?” “Yeah, it’s… I’ve […]
