Good news, music fans. Indie rock mainstay The Magnetic Fields have a new album coming out January 26th on Nonesuch Records. It's called Realism, and the cover art/title combo indubitably marks a shift from last year's bright pink album Distortion. Does this mean they're going back to the clarity of releases like 69 Love Songs and eschewing the reverb-drone of Distortion? Only time will tell, but we're...

It may be a bit surprising, but Neil Gaiman's A Game of You is my favorite Sandman story arc thus far. The author's hybrid of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland , Stephen R. Donaldson's The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant , and C. S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia was quite a treat! I have become accustomed to the fact that the plotlines had almost nothing to do with The Sandman: Preludes &...

Today's birthday list doesn't make me feel celebratory so much as oscarighteously furious. Perhaps I should explain. It's only the four first birthday boys whipping me into a golden frenzy. Then things calm down. Claude, Ann and Dick Todays Birthdays 11/10 1889 Claude Rains , never won an Oscar. This despite being a great screen actor, whose filmography reads like a catalogue of Golden Age greatness....

Wednesday - the day on which I intended to post an update - reminded me of a quote by Neil Gaiman: When writing a novel that's pretty much entirely what life turns into: 'House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.' In my case it was: got three and a half hours sleep; tree loppers started chainsawing and woodchipping across the road at seven...

What's the book? Air Volume 2: Flying Machine by G. Willow Wilson and M.K. Perker. What's it about? I reviewed Volume 1 of Air a few months ago . It's an ongoing comics series about a stewardess named Blythe who's afraid of flying. She gets swept into a huge conspiracy that involves weird flying machines and countries that don't exist. In the second volume, Blythe gets a few answers and has her first...

When you think of the classic Marvel artists, you think of masters of the medium such as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr, John Buscema, and Gene Colan. No wonder Marvel left all other American comics publishers in the dust. This coming February, Marvel Entertainment will honor one of those gentlemen by releasing The Invincible Gene Colan , a visual tribute and biography of one of the most...

Click to Watch SD | Click to Watch HD | iPod/iPhone “Be careful what you wish for.” With a descending doll all expectation is set aside at the start of author Neil Gaiman and director Henry Selick’s Coraline. Her punch-and-cut deconstruction is distressing; at her inversion you may feel a gastric tug. You may also dream of [...]

Reminder : Newer agents are golden opportunities for new writers because they're likely building their client list; however, always make sure your work is as perfect as it can be before submitting, and only query agencies that are a great fit for your work. Otherwise, you're just wasting time and postage. About Mary : She is a new associate agent at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency and runs the KidLit...

Still trying to get back onto a diurnal schedule. (And, I should add, failing.) Maddy and I started watching the new season of Sarah Jane Adventures tonight, which seems back on form after a dodgy second season. Many amazing things waiting for me when I got home -- I still haven't gone through them all yet -- but today's mail brought me a copy of the Fantagraphics Gahan Wilson: 50 Years of Playboy...

Based on Neil Gaiman's 2002 best-selling children's novella of the same name, "Coraline" completely sets itself away from any other kid films out there that heavily relies on predictable plots and possibly even animal jokes. Bringing you the same director who did " The Nightmare Before Christmas " and " James And The Giant Peach ", Henry Selick's film adaptation of the novella may come across as disturbing
