Comic Book Reviews of 4/12/17 by Anthony Andujar Jr

Aside from.this somewhat nice spring break, I didn't have a chance to post these recent reviews that were released on the Fanboy Factor website last week Wednesday.  I have a review on the animated adaption of Teen Titans :The Judas Contract, and just trying squeeze in time for things. Gonna be busy with Midterms etc. But here are some reviews etc.

I'm starting to look like my character from the comic that I've been working on (for the last two years).

Seriously. I'm looking like the main character of my comic from two years ago.

   Will Eisner 100th Celebration by Klaus Janson/Frank Miller hosted at the SVA Theater. My buddy Joanthony Jimenez and I went to see the great legendary Frank Miller and Klaus Janson reflect on the 100 year history and accomplishment of WIll Eisner and his effect/influence on comic book and cinema storytelling. Frank was hilarious. When it came time for Q & A, I asked him and Janson if they had ever had a planned project with Will Eisner, which humorously Frank Miller gave a very funny reply stating that Eisner wouldn't have had time to collaborate with them. They were both great. What fascinated me the most is how humorous but somewhat humble and self aware that Miller actually is. Definitely a great night of insight, knowledge, history and inspiration. Jo and I both made pieces inspired by Eisner, Miller Janson's influence in comics. I took some photos as well. -Anthony Andujar Jr

Got an autograph from Klaus Janson inker of many comics, most notably well known for his inks on Daredevil, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Black and White, and numerous other comics. It was great to speak to the man in person. Now I can say I've met John Romita Jr and Klaus Janson all in one.

Collabos 1 !!!! Artists/ Colorist Collaboration!

As you can see, I colored Tyson's Thanos illustration piece on my phone.

So back in January, I decided to hit up some illustrator friends of mine who are big comic fans and proposed a project where they do a drawing, pen, pencil, etc, and i would digitally color them using layers on autodesk (coloring on my phone or on my ipad. The goal was to kinda build a collective, proposing challenges that would be great team building exercises (and a good color exercise / study for myself). Ultimately, after everything  is all said and done, i would compile all of the pieces and make a one page comic strip, making use of the imagery to help set it up like a comic book layout page. I had a lot of fun with these. 

Here is the culmination of everyone's pieces that I colored, and compiled it into a comic page. When Joanthony sent me his piece, which is a picture of Modok, I was trying to figure out how I would combine everyone's pieces together into one solid piece. WHen I realized that only Tyson and Joanthony made pieces based on Villains, I figured that i could play off of that angle. SO I colored up Jonthony's Modok, added in a laboratory background (inspired by Genndy Tartakovsky's Dexter laboratory backgrounds , I implemented that aspect in there. I then Implemented Dr Doom digitally drawing him in (instead of drawing him on pen and paper/ snapping a picture/scanning him) instead. Then I minimized everyones images and decided to put them in to the computer monitors /screens and then looking at the image, I was able to tell a story, and proceeded to write dialogue to make it feel like a comic page (paying homage to George Perez's stuff on Infinity Gauntlet and Crisis on Infinite Earths.

    Also i did a cute collaboration with a certain florcita, Milz. She pushed me to go for a prettier color pallet      :)

Bat Brunch by Jose Garcia Colors by Anthony Andujar Jr

A collabo with art by @koalatheviolator aka Jose Garcia and colors by Anthony Andujar Jr. 

Jose actually colored his own stuff with some marker. I asked If I could do a variation of the actual image, and he proposed that I could used the classic first appearance outfit that Daredevil used to sport in the comics, so I went with that. In terms of Batman, I went with the Tim Burton late 80s, early 90s approach to Batman's costume, where as in jose's original piece, he gave Batman his traditional Grey and Blues, and gave Daredevil his Iconic Red outfit. It was a fun collaboration. 

Sad Logan # 1 Happy Late Valentines Day and Happy late New Year! by Anthony Andujar Jr

I know it's been a minute since I've been on this particular blog. I've been knee deep a few projects, both cartoon, comics, web comics, collaborations and writing. I'm more actively posting reviews on my other blog: Foods and all. Anywho, here is something some what timely that I posted in other places that I haven't posted here until now :

    @joanthony_stark made a timely challenge that required people to draw a favorite 90s cartoon of ones choice. Although i'd say Batman The animated series is my top fave 90s cartoon, I decided to pick my second favorite for this day and occasion. I recreated a certain image. 90's X-Men Season 1 Episode 5 'captive hearts' of the animated television series X-Men. https://youtu.be/x1iaiTXwnyg

   Here is the original scene that has become a huge internet meme sensation:

                 So for the challenge, I did my own variation:

I hope everyone enjoys their Valentines day, and their whole week/ weekend this week! I'll try to post more short comic based stuff on here when I can! It's been a while! See you guys soon!
