PROMOTIONAL NEWS: May 2009 Archives

Holy Cow! Just wanted to share this new review from BOOKLIST for B.P.M.:

"From Booklist:
In his note to the reader, Sizer says his dual love for music and comics left little time for anything else. So it goes with his heroine DJ Roxy, slave to the rhythm, who gives up a girlfriend, sleep, and a social life in pursuit of her dream throughout this gorgeous graphic novel. Sizer infuses digital images into his drawings, amping up the hyper energy of New York's nightclub underworld. Roxy's renaissance opens with a caffeine jolt of light and sound coursing readers into Plush, a gay nightclub under the spell of DJ Atsuko, where Roxy merely observes in awe. She quickly comes off the sidelines, though, and we are introduced to her other DJ friend, Dom, and her Yoda-like mentor, Robie. Dubbed the "Café Digital Extended House mix," this edition comes complete with liner notes and suggested tracks to play softly in the background or to supplement the sets Roxy plays during her gigs. This one's a keeper. Grades 10-12. --Courtney Jones"

Now THAT'S how I like to finish off a Friday. A virtual round for the house!

In my "pride" moment of the day, check out what Warren Ellis said about me in his blog:

"REMAKE/REMODEL: The Spider Queen
May 22nd, 2009 | brainjuice
This week's Remake/Remodel thread at Whitechapel was chugging along happily, trying to make sense out of a tiny description of an obscure 1940s character:

Sharon Kane is the sworn enemy of all criminals. Her specially designed bracelets eject spider webbing. Her boyfriend is a detective named Mike O'Bell.

And then Ryan Kelly, Pia Guerra and Paul Sizer came in overnight and just owned pretty much everybody."

I believe a "squee" is in order. Although I do somewhat feel like the "One of these things is not like the others" guy in this listing, but eh...

Here's my picture of the Spider Queen, in all her cross-dressing glory:

(Sharp-eyed viewers will notice I ripped off my own poster designs and people from posters I designed for B.P.M.)
