Phase Two Has Begun!
That sounded dramatic, didn't it? No ants trying to take over the world. No beetles trying to take over the world nor any other member of the insect kingdom thinking about taking over the world.
Am I the only one worries about that? Forget the primates the ants are going to be the ones to watch. They've bitten me a few times this year...okay, I was infringing on their territory but do I need a United Nations border guard in my own garden?
I've forgotten where I was now....spiders....never ever kill a spider. They will get you back and don't think I am kidding. Spiders as big as my hand!
What was Phase II? Hang on....
new underpants....new socks....
....get a life (yeah, that's likely)...
Ah. Yes, Phase II of Black Tower. If you read the AOP Blog (link on the blog roll) you will have noticed that the number of prose books has risen -all non fiction. A couple others are planned but they are so secret even I am not allowed to know what they are. Bit unfair but there you go.
Phase II does not just mean expanding to more prose but the comics/graphic novel side of things are being re-arranged. The eight issue Black Tower Super Heroes, of which 7.5 issues are completed, will see publication in 2018 along with a couple of one-shot titles. This will lead up to the third and final part of the Invasion Earth Trilogy which should have seen print in 2014 -The Green Skies.
Phase II covers 2018 only and will be a concentration on publishing only since no UK comics event seems willing to allow Black Tower to book a table.
There could be a couple of surprises but if I said anything now it might jinx things...and they would not be a surprise.

Could Disney Make Marvel Comics A Fan Favourite Again?
The answer to that question is "Yes". How? Well, it would be simplicity itself and it would wipe out the big mess Marvel Comics became in the last ten years.
Of course, Disney can pay me for this Marvel Comics saving idea. Do you think that would happen? No, neither do I. If anyone from Disney even knew this blog existed I'd faint! So we'll sit back and watch what happens but I bet it will be nothing like my idea!

I Have Been Gone. I Will Be Gone Again.
Did anyone realise that I was gone? As it happens I can only update CBO every-so-often. The reason is that, due to the current lack of financial position I find myself in...well, not that you care,obviously.
Sales of my books are at zero so that doesn't help and it's okay, I understand that you come here to get what you want then go -especially the ones who repost my old posts as their own. Sad. Fandom is dead and there is no support for Independents -I get that too.
With all the fake Marvel and other editors versus Liefeld news which is simply to keep comic readers interested and the even faker SJW versus Marvel 'war' (they are just producing crap comics) and sites like Bleedin' cool being an industry mouthpiece helping spread fake news around....I had to step back.
This is not fandom. It isn't even giving comic 'fans' anything really new just putting a spin on things. The lack of comments on any CBO items proved long ago that there are no real fans out there reading this blog.
If I post here it is because I want to. The "I get it in the post and I review it" policy is still here and so are, apparently, all the blog readers from around the world. Which makes me laugh more when I read small publishers bemoaning the fact that no one will review their books. I think CBO has been going 20 years now...maybe in ten more these people will catch on.
I would much sooner review and post fun or interesting items but my books are not selling and I get the same crap from event organisers that they are fully booked (even with events where the dates have not yet been announced??). My books are my income and my income is zero.
I blabbering now so time to go.
One last rousing murmur....
