We are just having fun reviewing and discussing comic books, graphic novels, manga, anime/animation, music and movies that we have recently read, listened to or watched.
We happen to have the Action Bible. This looks like it might be one of the stories that wasn’t placed in the Action Bible. By the looks of things Caleb Seeling and Sergio Cariello will be doing more pieces from the Bible. Check out the trailer for their latest edition The Action Bible: The Battle Begins:
For those looking for a literal adaptation of the Noah story I don’t believe this will be it. The director and writers took artistic license with the story. I believe the press is now saying the core story is still there and it’s meaning. If you are interested it comes out this weekend. Thanks to ‘MOVIECLIPS Trailers” channel on YouTube for the following trailer:

The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and ICv2 have reported that comic books in the DC area are coming under fire again. The news story concentrates on comic books not being for little kids any more. That’s been the case since the 1980’s. The companies have also placed age level warnings on their comic books to let purchasers know what age demographic it is targeted for. The shift in story writing has been to allow artists to write and do artwork that is more artistic. Because of that, the medium has produced some great stories and a wide variety of art styles that are beautiful to view. There are books and movies that are made for specific audiences, the comic medium is no different. There are comic books made for different age groups that are available. To me it all falls back on the parents. The parent decides on what their child can read and/or watch as a family unit. You cannot decide what other family units believe is right for their family units to read and/or watch, otherwise you start corrupting what the Constitution stands for. The psychologist in the report states that the imagery could influence children, well I guess you better not take you child to an art museum because they will see the same type of imagery. There is a statement that their is violence, sex and adultery in comic books, well children can find all of that in David’s story in the Bible. Sometimes I just shake my head in wonderment. To read the stories follow the links posted below.
ICv2’s site, linked below, has announced a new game based on Biblical epics. The game, Crossroads, is to have elements of a board game and of a Collectible Card Game. Librarians might mention this to their gamers that also belong to this faith and also their local church community, if they have a strong youth group. It is to have a Spring 2011 release.
