The Comic Odyssey Blogsite

I would like to proudly present the Comic Odyssey Blog created and maintained by RMPF with the permission and blessing of the Comic Odyssey Management.

The site right now is basically just a mirror of the Comic Odyssey site but it will be featuring it's own unique content in the days to come.

Why a blog site, you may ask?

It's an experiment for RMPF in creating blogsites (an affordable alternative to websites) and it's a way for Comic Odyssey to increase their online presence.

So, please check it out and help spread the word! Click here!

My Webcomics!

The idea was to update each webcomic site at a rate of at least once a week.

The next thing I knew I was updating them on a daily basis rapidly depleting the stock of pages I have built up. It’s no fun after all going to a webcomic site and finding only 2-3 comics uploaded.

I got each webcomic title equipped with a navigation bar for an easier reading experience.

Speaking of webcomics, I wish Blogger would come up with a webcomic template just like WordPress has. Maybe one of these days the people from Google would surprise us online webcomic creators and whip one up.

Anyway, check out my webcomics!

MOVIE REVIEW: Taken

The movie stars Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen, and Maggie Grace. It's directed by Pierre Morel and written & produced by Luc Besson.

In the film Liam plays Bryan, a divorced, former US intelligence agent who retires early to be able to spend some time with his daughter, Kim. Kim takes a trip to Europe to follow a rock band and effectively gets kidnapped.

It's at this point that Bryan's expertise as a former US intelligence agent comes into play.

The film is fast paced and brutal. It pulls no punches and definitely not for the weak of heart. I particularly relate to Bryan's predicament as any parent will, I'm sure.

Rating: 3 star out of 5

UPCOMING: Dayo

Got a chance to visit Cutting Edge Productions earlier this morning and meet with other bloggers for a chance to see a lot of behind the scenes action of Dayo, the Philippines' 1st All-Digital full-length animated feature film.

Met with the film's director, Robert Quilao whom I had the chance to share the limelight with during the Kustaa Saksi event in CCP which we both participated in back in May 2008.

Click here for the entire story.

Robert and the rest of the staff of Cutting Edge Productions was kind enough to give us a tour of their studio and show us how Dayo was made. It is truly an inspiring tour!

Expect more features here and on my other blogs about the Dayo movie.

Meanwhile check out the movie's site.

Spotbit

Checking out spotbit.com which markets itself as a paperless publisher which basically means to say that they make e-books.

"Early e-books were generally written for specialty areas and a limited audience, meant to be read only by small and devoted interest groups. The scope of the subject matter of these e-books included technical manuals for hardware, manufacturing techniques, and other subjects."

Over the years, e-books have gained more popularity.

"E-books have achieved global distribution, and electronics manufacturers are releasing more e-book readers for general consumer use".

Japan has seen a tremendous growth in their e-book industry throughout the 2000 with a market value estimated at ¥10 billion.

Anyway, I compiled some of my more popular articles from my different blogs, designed a cover, and turned it into an e-book for sale over at spotbit.com. I'm basically experimenting if the e-book scene has improved enough for one to be able to actually try and make some money out of it (spotbit.com offers a royalty of 40% of the book price).

You can check out my e-book here.

Wish me luck!

INCOMING: Fast and the Furious

Official trailer for the new Fast and the Furious movie.

Check it out!

MOVIE REVIEW: Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

Managed to watch Hellboy 2: The Golden Army last night (late review...yes, I know).

It was a treat watching this movie but my favorite part of the movie has got to be the scene where Hellboy and Abe Sapien get drunk on beer over their respective relationship. Aside from the comedy and the sing-along time, the scene gave us insights on the kind of relationship Hellboy and Abe Sapien has.

After watching this movie, I can't wait for the sequel.

And oh yeah...Guillermo del Toro is now officially up there as one of my favorite directors of all time.
