Chapter 17, Page 24a: Impossible to Choose

Captain Heroic has a showdown with Countess Influencia, but the former waitress isn't interested in going back to the diner — and she certainly isn't hearing his excuses! She has the city at her feet, and in her book, that's a win!

Fairmount City's top hero sees it differently. There's a big difference between trending and mattering. The Countess may be impossible to ignore... but that also makes her impossible to choose.

Harryhausen Comics To Debut

Harryhausen Comics To DebutThis one’s for Harry…

[SCI FI] A new comic-book line will debut in December with new adventures based on creations of legendary film visual-effects master Ray Harryhausen. Blue Water Productions will release the comics under the “Ray Harryhausen Presents” banner.

“We’re basically taking things a step further,” Blue Water head Darren Davis told SCIFI Wire. “These will not technically be sequels to Ray’s original stories, but rather new stories based on his artwork and ideas.”

The first three titles will be Wrath of the Titans, 20 Million Miles From Earth and Sinbad, Rogue of Mars. Harryhausen will also contribute his ideas to an updating of the original, long-running Blue Water project 10th Muse. Read more.
