FF #5 Letter

by Adrian J. Watts on March 29, 2013, no comments

I have had a letter printed in this week’s FF #5. You may notice that it is the same letter I had printed in Fantastic Four #5 and Fantastic Four #5AU. You may also notice that it is the same page, save for the colours. This series seemed fun to begin with, and had the added bonus of Alex Power, but I have [...]

Fantastic Four #5AU Letter

by Adrian J. Watts on March 28, 2013, no comments

I have had a letter printed in this week’s Fantastic Four #5AU. (The “AU” indicates that this is an extra issue as part of the Age of Ultron event, rather than interrupt the series proper.) You will notice that this is the same letter I had in Fantastic Four #5 - in fact, it is the same letters page, re-printed. I [...]

Writing: just do it

by Adrian J. Watts on March 27, 2013, no comments

It has been a very, very long time since I have written anything productive, either for fun or profit. Recently, I became quite attached to an idea, plotted it all out, and decided to give it a fair go; I’ve set aside quite a chunk of writing time to get this project done. Today, I started. And… [...]

Writing in your head

by Adrian J. Watts on March 26, 2013, no comments

Over the years, particularly my first couple of years at university, many people have been amazed by how I seem to be able to start writing as soon as I’m allowed. I don’t need to crack open books and look up references, or spend days studying and memorising information before an exam. I’m cool and [...]

Fantastic Four #5 Letter

by Adrian J. Watts on March 18, 2013, no comments

I have had a letter printed in last week’s Fantastic Four #5. I really enjoyed the first issue, but issues two through four didn’t appeal to me a great deal. Issue five, though… wowzer. Great stuff. I remain confused about Franklin Richards’ age, though. In FF, Alex Power’s age is confirmed as 19 or 21. Here, Franklin’s age is [...]

Captain America #4 Letter

by Adrian J. Watts on March 5, 2013, no comments

I had a letter printed in last week’s Captain America #4. My words apply to issue one – issues two through four really let them down, so don’t use my comments to sell you on the series beyond that first issue. Also, what the hell, why are comic stores near me selling out of Captain America? Three stores [...]

THUG CITY (700 Project #1)

by Adrian J. Watts on February 24, 2013, no comments

You may have been wondering what the first 700 Project title will be. Or not. But if you read on, you’ll know. THUG CITY by Adrian J. Watts By 2023, the Pacific Electronics Workgroup pretty much owns Pacific City… and everyone in it. James Blackhawk is dead. The police have gone corrupt rather than be replaced by [...]
