Movie Trailer: John Carter (2012)

14 July, 2011 – 4:21 pm

That’s my main reaction to the first trailer to John Carter, Disney’s upcoming adaptation of the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs novel A Princess of Mars (the first in the John Carter of Mars series). It’s not a negative hmmm, but it’s not a completely convinced hmmm either, and that’s mainly because this is a [...]

Guarnido's sumptuously painted pages and rich cinematic style bring the world of 1950s America to vibrant life, with Canales weaving in fascinating tales of conspiracy, racial tension, and the "red scare" Communist witch hunts of the time. Guarnido reinvents anthropomorphism in these pages, and industry colleagues no less than Will Eisner, Jim Steranko, and Tim Sale are fans! Whether John Blacksad is falling for dangerous women or getting beaten to within an inch of his life, his stories are, simply put, unforgettable.00307377326http://www.amazon.com/Asterios-Polyp-David-Mazzucchelli/dp/0307377326%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326Technical Detailshttp://www.amazon.com/Asterios-Polyp-David-Mazzucchelli/dp/tech-data/0307377326%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326Add To Baby Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/baby/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D0307377326%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326Add To Wedding Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wedding/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D0307377326%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326Add To Wishlisthttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D0307377326%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326Tell A Friendhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/taf/0307377326%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326All Customer Reviewshttp://www.amazon.com/review/product/0307377326%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326All Offershttp://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0307377326%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D030737732636332http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L._SL75_.jpg7557http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L._SL160_.jpg160122http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L.jpg500381http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L._SL30_.jpg3023http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L._SL75_.jpg7557http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L._SL75_.jpg7557http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L._SL110_.jpg11084http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L._SL160_.jpg160122http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YD9wkoD9L.jpg500381David MazzucchelliHardcover978030737732697803073773261St Edition030737732611000701259118PantheonEnglishUnknownEnglishOriginal LanguageEnglishPublished2995USD$29.95Pantheon13441301040260790BookABIS_BOOK2009-07-07Pantheon2009-07-07ACAMP_book_usedverygood_0307377326PantheonAsterios Polyp313USD$3.131771USD$17.711095USD$10.954999USD$49.9948602011http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/0307377326%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D0307377326NewoT0d2elNHfS6LpMa3ZOdMNWPVoX5yf%2FmDfYaeoM%2Fx7NEqu0eOl79ubXzvL1I1ZvhyyZ5Gwo9Yi01whQWcS7PZuCNZBuTg3ZvF%2F2eO5AW5YM%3D2179USD$21.79816USD$8.1627Usually ships in 24 hoursnow001http://www.amazon.com/reviews/iframe?akid=AKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ&alinkCode=xm2&asin=0307377326&atag=schizopolitan-20&exp=2013-05-24T11%3A08%3A21Z&v=2&sig=VTHzTkn9e4%2FMSMbVCRjJ%2FQbKmRF9RlPbH%2BfdQtGu1Gg%3DtrueProduct DescriptionThe triumphant return of one of comics’ greatest talents, with an engrossing story of one man’s search for love, meaning, sanity, and perfect architectural proportions. An epic story long awaited, and well worth the wait. Meet Asterios Polyp: middle-aged, meagerly successful architect and teacher, aesthete and womanizer, whose life is wholly upended when his New York City apartment goes up in flames. In a tenacious daze, he leaves the city and relocates to a small town in the American heartland. But what is this “escape” really about? As the story unfolds, moving between the present and the past, we begin to understand this confounding yet fascinating character, and how he’s gotten to where he is. And isn’t. And we meet Hana: a sweet, smart, first-generation Japanese American artist with whom he had made a blissful life. But now she’s gone. Did Asterios do something to drive her away? What has happened to her? Is she even alive? All the questions will be answered, eventually. In the meantime, we are enthralled by Mazzucchelli’s extraordinarily imagined world of brilliantly conceived eccentrics, sharply observed social mores, and deftly depicted asides on everything from design theory to the nature of human perception. Asterios Polyp is David Mazzucchelli’s masterpiece: a great American graphic novel.01600104932http://www.amazon.com/Richard-Starks-Parker-Vol-Hunter/dp/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932Technical Detailshttp://www.amazon.com/Richard-Starks-Parker-Vol-Hunter/dp/tech-data/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932Add To Baby Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/baby/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D1600104932%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932Add To Wedding Registryhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wedding/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D1600104932%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932Add To Wishlisthttp://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/add-item.html%3Fasin.0%3D1600104932%26SubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932Tell A Friendhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/taf/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932All Customer Reviewshttp://www.amazon.com/review/product/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932All Offershttp://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D160010493268963http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL160_.jpg160109http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL.jpg500341http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL30_.jpg3020http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL75_.jpg7551http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL110_.jpg11075http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL._SL160_.jpg160109http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fQEkhprgL.jpg500341Darwyn CookeRichard StarkHardcoverDarwyn Cooke978160010493097816001049301600104932190259813091Idea & Design Works LlcEnglishUnknownEnglishOriginal LanguageEnglishPublished2499USD$24.99Idea & Design Works Llc114487913119638BookABIS_BOOK2009-07-30Idea & Design Works LlcACOUK_book_usedgood_1600104932Idea & Design Works LlcRichard Stark's Parker, Vol. 1: The Hunter175USD$1.75271USD$2.71278USD$2.7812500USD$125.0053461011http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1600104932%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ%26tag%3Dschizopolitan-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D386001%26creativeASIN%3D1600104932NewU%2FoKXifcbMwBaTMnuTgcIoeB5k0af%2B3oWLUSIX1rgGmA3FXoiEM7yhxlRrL1DZiu%2BvsybewZdYkvwsyYAC%2BoXxdNSGAE8%2FvCJAjXMJTu8zE%3D1665USD$16.65834USD$8.3433Usually ships in 24 hoursnow001http://www.amazon.com/reviews/iframe?akid=AKIAIHZ4CUKJNX37IRJQ&alinkCode=xm2&asin=1600104932&atag=schizopolitan-20&exp=2013-05-24T11%3A08%3A21Z&v=2&sig=D7kmLm3c%2FlNwAiJZIGdRtgu5nBAZMzlMYAt7riJp3KE%3DtrueProduct DescriptionThe Hunter, the first book in the Parker series, is the story of a man who hits New York head-on like a shotgun blast to the chest. Betrayed by the woman he loved and double-crossed by his partner in crime, Parker makes his way cross-country with only one thought burning in his mind - to coldly exact his revenge and reclaim what was taken from him! Richard (Donald Westlake) Stark's groundbreaking Parker books are adapted for the first time as a series of graphic novels by Darwyn Cooke. The initial graphic novel brings to life the first Parker book, The Hunter, which introduces readers to the dangerous anti-hero's cold and calculated world of criminals, thugs, and grifters.0
