Looks like some of the Masks G+ community is trying to put together a [Masks zine](https://plus.google.com/103194475682369350578/posts/4ALHrWF996q) and they’re looking for some contributors and gauge interest in the project. I’ve always liked these small fan-made projects and wanted to get involved in one, so I’ve already let them know I’d be done with contributing some artwork to the zine. They’re also looking for short stories and other bits of writing, though I doubt anyone here would be interested in writing about teenage superheroes… ---

> [@insomn14](#): > > They’re also looking for short stories and other bits of writing My first impulse would be “submit some of the existing fiction”. For that, though, I’d want to know what to submit - what interests me may not (in fact likely won’t) interest that larger community. I’d also want somebody who’d volunteer to preread, provide notes, etc. as pretty much everything I’ve written already is first-draft quality. All that said, I look forward to seeing the zine with your artwork. ---

I believe the Ballad of Hot Mess (or whatever you wind up calling that whole storyline) would make for an interesting read. Also if you need a beta-reader, you know I’m available. ---

I have mixed feelings about Mark Millar as a comics creator but I’ll give him a pass for this: [https://imgur.com/gallery/gjWqtAJ](https://imgur.com/gallery/gjWqtAJ) ---

Link is dead, alas. More on Huck here: [https://www.popmatters.com/huck-1-2495463651.html](https://www.popmatters.com/huck-1-2495463651.html) (spoilers) Millar is problematic in a lot of ways – but he does occasionally have a moment of positive, non-bloodspattered charm _(Superior_ was an example of that). ---

Well, if you were trying to link to more Huck stuff, that’s not the right article. If you’re trying to link to the new Shazam! comic … well, I have to confess I am not a Geoff Johns fan, for a variety of personal aesthetic reasons. I might give the first issue a read, just because I like the character, but I haven’t enjoyed what he’s done with him in the past few years. (He’s also the reason I haven’t read Green Lantern comics in a decade.) ---

The into the spider verse movie is flat-out fantastic and cannot be missed. At the risk of a pun, it literally has everything. The best part: both my son and youngest daughter are now playing as Spider-man. This movie rocks. ---

To follow up on some of the Into the Spider-verse love, the art team did an amazing job. Here’s one of the artists sharing their [designs for background characters](https://twitter.com/BrittMyersArt/status/1073288549326180352). Any single one of these characters look like they would be an amazing NPC in Masks. Having not seen the movie, only the trailers (maybe sometime this week) the only thing that’s seemed wonky is that in some of the faster-paced scenes whatever they are using to simulate [chromatic aberration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatic_aberration) is a little too aggressive and distracting at times. However, it looks gorgeous otherwise. ---

However, it looks gorgeous otherwise. I think it’s a movie that could only really do what it did as an animated movie. It’s so dang good. I’ll also add, as a guy who generally avoids 3d movies: ~~I wish I’d seen this in 3d~~ [1], I’m going back to see it in 3d, and I believe I’d recommend seeing it in 3d, if that doesn’t cause you hardship in any way. [1]: Actually, no: I’m glad I saw it in 2d, cuz I went with my two youngest kids, and that doesn’t lend itself to sitting straight-on to the screen in the way 3d glasses usually require. ---
