Captain Canuck Cartoon? Whaaaaat?

9/10/2014

by Matman

My association with Captain Canuck began in 1979 when I picked up a copy of CAPTAIN CANUCK # 9 at my local drug store in Broad Brook, CT. How and why it ended up there i'll never know but it started a
life long love of the hero from
North of the boarder!

Older listeners to the show will remember my interview I did with Captain Canuck creator Richard Comely, which was not only an early one for me... but one of my favorites.

Well those who attended the Captain Canuck Super Panel at Fan Expo in Toronto got some amazing news including a possible animated series!

Featuring Richard Comely, president of Captain Canuck Inc. Fadi Hakim, creative director Paul Gardner, illustrator Kalman Andrasofszky, Silver Snail owner George Zotti, Comic Book Daily author Walter Durajlija and LOST GIRL star Paul Amosteam. The group went into detail about the place in the comic book world, costume design and plans they had in store for the good Captain.

“We wanted to put Captain Canuck in as real of a world we could without distilling it too much,” said Gardner in Toronto. “We wanted to establish who this character was going to be – he’s continuing to evolve with the comic and story, but really it was just to have fun with the character.”

For the animated web series, Gardner said he wanted high adventure while having a few laughs along the way. The episodes were shown to the fans who were unanimous in its praise and applause!

The other 'killer' news is that a new series was announced at the panel to great approval from the audience. The series will contain the origins of Captain Canuck, and will take place in areas of interest in Canada. The plan is for a six issue series and if it does well there is another arc in the works.

The Dawn Of A New Doctor!

8/24/2014

by Matman

NO SPOILERS!!!

The Peter Capaldi era is now upon us and the first episode
'Deep Breath' is just
a few minutes old.

My thoughts?

Wow there are a lot of them floating around my brain... most of them involve what everyone else thought of the new Doctor? My first reaction is that this is going to be an interesting ride.

The episode started by showing the Doctor struggling with his regeneration very similar to Peter Davison's regeneration from Tom Baker back in 1981. He's lost, confused and not himself whoever he is. Capaldi played a convincing part; acting like a lost child, confused by his surroundings and not knowing how to deal with this particular situation. Sadly all Clara (Jenna Coleman) can do is watch helplessly. The Doctor she once knew is no longer that man and it will take some time for her to accept this man as the Doctor!

There was some great dialogue (and I won't say with whom) that was about accepting this new Doctor no matter what he looked like. For a moment it felt like the BBC was speaking to any of us who queston an older man in the roll.

As I peek over to Facebook and my phone texts and emails (all a zillion of them) I see that this episode was about 95% positive and that is not only refreshing but gratifying. It's nice to think that the Doctor hasn't become a 'boy band' and it's the character we love, not just the actor.

A very well done episode that sets the pace for what looks like a different but very exciting direction.

Torchwood Comes To Boston Comic Con This Weekend

8/4/2014

by Matman

Adding to the fun of this weekends Boston Comic Con will be the two stars of 'Torchwood'! 'Torchwood' started as a more adult spin off to Doctor Who but withing a few episodes turned into an amazing show on its own. If you have never seen 'Torchwood', you need to watch the Children of Earth mini series that in my opinion is some of the most emotional and terrifying TV ever produced.

Appearing on Saturday and Sunday will be actors John Barrowman and Eve Myles who were the lead characters from this amazing series.

John played the Doctor Who spin off character Jack Harkness and currently plays the baddie 'The Dark Archer' on the CW's 'Arrow'!

Eve portrayed the tough but loving Gwen Cooper on the series and currnetly can be seen on BBC's 'Frankie'.

Check the website for signing times and panel information and (fingers crossed), the two will appear on an upcoming episode of Secret Identity!
