From The Comics In Our Bedrooms, To The Very Biggest Of Screens.

Comic books give birth to a beautiful multi-verse of characters, whether it be the Amazing Spiderman, or Invincible Iron Man, the characters are smart and savvy, opening their world up to marvelous adventures and stories. Comic books are an excellent way of escaping our sometimes boring world, but unlike books, they offer a point of mutual ground between enthusiasts. Novels rely heavily on our imagination, but comic books allow readers to collectively discover new characters, and the genre’s issue size means that it will continue to grow.

There are different types of comic books, the super heroic, super natural and realistic. All these have become exceedingly popular; movies such as Cowboys & Aliens, Captain America: The First Avenger, and The Green Hornet immediately come to mind. This popularity no doubt stems from the booming growth of the movie industry, alongside the discovery and love for characters like Tony Stark with his charisma, Batman with his brutish authority and Thor with his brick-like triceps.

Clearly the forefront of this comic book onslaught are Marvel’s Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), DC’s Batman or ‘Dark Knight’ (Christian Bale) and X-Men’s Wolverine (Hugh Jackman). However it seems to be the recently assembled ‘Avengers’ who will continue the phenomena forward. This idea, combining the worlds of separate super heroes was done in the comic books, but only careful planning, intricate plotting and superb filming could really bring this to life.

Super natural films (rather the super hero films) such as Cowboys & Aliens and Resident Evil have also had a history in comic books, and both were very successful. It seems that this new era deems comic book stories un-nerdy! In fact, they seem to be treated as cool, and the heroes themselves as sexy! Take note folks, emulate your heroes and you could be seen as irresistible. Just don’t try to stop a train or anything.

‘The Invaders.’

There have been some cracking Science Fiction shows on television over the years; ‘Star Trek’, ‘Survivors’ (both the original AND the remake), ‘Quatermass’, ‘Sapphire and Steel’, ‘Day of the Triffids’, ‘The Twilight Zone’, ‘The Outer Limits’… However, my favourite Sci-Fi show of all time has always been, ‘The Invaders’. I have watched every episode of this at least three times, yet I never get bored of it. When Quinn Martin (who was also responsible for many other great programmes) created ‘The Invaders’ he really did get it right!

Cover of sci fi books

It is a misconception that the text of a book is its most important component. A book without a cover it is less likely to attract readers. On the other hand, a book with a very good cover is automatically going to create enthusiasm and excitement in the reader. Let us presume you are blindfolded and taken to a particular spot without being told where you are going. Will you be in a position to hazard a guess as to where you are currently located?

Political Sci-fi- a different cup of tea

There are many critics who believe that science fiction, as a genre, is nothing but a license given to writers to imagine the future anyway they want without having any regard to the possibility of these imagined worlds being real. For this reason, critics point out that science fiction is a telling commentary on the existing state of our planet and should not be regarded as an accurate portrayal of the world that we may see in the future. In any case, nobody can predict minor details like the presence or absence of manual handling courses a hundred years from today.

Science fiction- window to the future

There are a few things that we can learn from science fiction novels. There are many individuals who believe that these science fiction novels are nothing but a figment of imagination. Writing science fiction is not the same as writing ordinary fiction. Any individual can write fiction by relying on imagination alone. However, it is impossible to write science fiction without having proper understanding of society. Now that we have a huge volume of science fiction content that was written over 300 years ago, we can analyze the same and determine how well have understood ourselves and our society.

’Priest'Comic Book

What a graphic book it is! I truly enjoyed it and I must say the combination between Sci Fi, fantasy, western and Gothic motives has produced spectacular results. The main characters seem to have had the opportunity to get their designer suit collections by Alexander McQueen – a truly well made comic book Priest is!

The book is designed, written and completely made by a Korean comic writer. He has incorporated several styles and techniques in his novels describing various events in corresponding cartooning techniques and methods. The overall edgy illustrations are making the comic look even better and I must admit that combining the particular features of several historic periods and genres has turned out to be quite successful.

The plot tells the story of Ivan Isaacs – a priest trained by the Church to defend mankind against 12 fallen angels. The basics of the story are related with the love that God has for mankind – this makes 12 angels from heavens to fall on earth and, blinded by envy for not receiving the most of God’s love, to initiate a war against humanity. Ivan Isaacs is the protagonist and the leader of the angels is his main opposing force – their struggle for domination and the desire for Ivan to revenge his personal loss lead them to a series of spectacularly depicted adventures.

The comic books were also incorporated slightly in a similar story for the big screens in the movie “Priest” where a highly trained priest fights against the long mankind enemy – the vampires.

The comic book is extremely successful among comic lovers and offers the best of experience for comic lovers. A truly spectacular work by Korean comic art specialists.

We Should Be Living in a Sci Fi World

Did anyone else get told as a kid that we would have flying cars by the year 2000? Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but I definitely remember reading from a “scientific” source some time in the 80’s about cars that would do all kinds of cool things. This includes–and I swear I remember reading this–bumpers that were going to be installed on the sides of highways that would “pilot” drivers to their destination. Am I the only one who read that article?

Okay, here’s one that’s a little more substantial. For those of you who don’t feel like clicking, researchers at Duke University have figured out how to build an invisibility cloak. Sci fi brethren everywhere, rejoice! WHY ISN’T IT IN OUR HANDS? (Okay, so it’s not truly an invisibility cloak, but the idea is there, and who knows what they’re NOT showing us . . .)

At my sister’s wedding recently, I ran into an old friend who was telling me about her sister. “She works for a company that contracts with the Defense Department,” my friend told me. “Sometimes we’ll joke with her about when the giant transforming robots are coming. She’ll just give us a look.” The implication, of course, is that THESE THINGS ARE BEING DEVELOPED AND MAY WELL ALREADY EXIST.

Again, I ask, why don’t we have them? Why do we have hybrid cars and GPS’s instead of flying cars and transforming robots? Why do I have to live in a (relatively) boring world, where I have to turn on a six-year-old computer to fly around a city?

Somebody get me the Department of Defense of the phone . . .

If you tell someone you are going to a comic book convention they may get an image of you being a nerd who likes to surround yourself with other nerds.

You will also find people who dress up as their favorite characters. You may meet stormtroopers, Superman, Klingons or the X-men.

Forward futurist gaming

The games these days are now either living in the past or thinking way into the future, the interim we live in lies in between the recovery of wars and future possible wars. Hence the developers of games now find it a new hobby to make games that relate to the either of the two with their own free imagination.
Taking games like Operation Flashpoint : Red River, Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3 into perspective, we can take a look into the creative minds of great game inventors. Battlefield 3 and Red River are scenarios that will increasingly become popular in the next 10 to 20 years. US continued mistrust in other countries will lead a continued occupation of Central Asia where it may possibly stand off against Chinese forces or else continued invasion of the Middle East that is an ally and a threat to the US. For instance, if Saudi Arabia, the blood line of US-Middle East relations falls due to high terrorists activity, the US will either simply stand by or invade. Modern Warfare 3 tends to pick up on growing Western insecurities, it paints a bigger picture of the West on the whole faces a common Eastern force, be it the terrorist or other threats I do not wish to say as it is not confirmed.
But this puts us into perspective of how even the largest entertainment industry makes billions of usd dollars out of stories that could possibily exist in the future, but one thing if for sure, the ideas are not remote and impossible, they are very much possible, if so correctly projected, this would be how the world would look like in the decades to come. Our gp doctor jobs uk will be more of a job of respect than that of bankers who just bring in the digits to our bank statements.
