This catches my eye for two reasons.

1. I’m a big Post-Apocalyptic fan.
2. My daughter is named Cassandra.

What if this movie is a huge success? It’s like all of the parents who named their kid ‘Logan’ and then the X-Men movie came out. Now, all of their kids are the butt of Wolverine jokes and it hits me especially close. I am still the butt of ‘Shane’ jokes. (if I hear ‘Shane. Come back!’ or ‘Why Shane?’ one more time…)

I’ve never been more torn in my life… I want it to be a hit because I want to see it in the theatre and I want it to never reach North American shores for the sake of my daughter.

Thanks to Quiet Earth for the heads up – check them out for more info.

When Homeworld came out – it blew my mind. Now, the last two developers at Relic from the original development team reminisce about the game, the team and what makes Relic so unique.

I had the pleasure of working at Relic and everything they say about passion, talent and inspiration is true.

Check it out for some great concept art and the history of one of the most influencial studios making RTS games today.

Camilla D’errico has pointed out that today is not only her birthday, but is also the release date for the Sky Pirates of Neo Terra comic from Image.

I have some DEEP Sky Pirates roots.

The creator, Sean Megaw is a very good friend of mine (his desk is 15 feet away from mine) and we were sharing a table selling old comics at a small convention in Vancouver when we both met Camilla. We both immediately fell in love with Camilla and her work.

Camilla and I went to work on some T-Shirt designs (out from NRD by the 2010 – I promise!) and Sean and Camilla went to work on building the world of Billy Boom Boom and the Sky Pirates of Neo Terra.

I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in Sky Pirates quite a bit for the past year. Reviewing scripts, telling Camilla her art is gorgeous, working the Image booth at San Diego Comic-Con to hand out stickers and sell preview copies of the book – and a whole lot more.

Sky Pirates is out today – if you’re in the mood for an all ages fantasy adventure with incredible art, swing down to your local comic shop and pick up a copy. If they are sold out (entirely possible), tell them to order more.

I know Sean and Camilla would be VERY psyched if they had to do a second print run.
