tHop - Super 8

If there is one man known for his secretive trailers then it’s J.J. Abrams, the man behind Cloverfield and the trailer that hyped it up immensely. Once again, he gives us a trailer to one of his super duper secret projects and it’s known to us as Super 8. Let’s see how it fairs in this next installment of tHop

Reading is something that I enjoy doing. There’s nothing quite like grabbing a book and engulfing yourself in the white oceans containing black lettered wildlife, immersing yourself in a world brought to life by not only the author’s imagination but yours as well. For many, many years now, my evening routine exists of picking up a book and reading until my eyes grow tired. I’ve read many books over the years and I’m damned proud of that fact.
However, if there’s one thing I’ve noticed, I always tend to go back to my roots. The first books that I ever read were comic books. From there I ventured forth in to the world of books. But comic books is where it all began for me. Whenever I feel down, I tend to go back to my trusty ol’ comics and read up on adventures of years ago.

It’s not uncommon for people on the internet to associate comics with the superhero comics from America. You know, the ones with them flashy costumes and the ridiculous names. Not here though. No, sir. Over here in Belgium, we don’t even have superhero comics. Well, now we have a comic of a TV series for kids but that doesn’t really count.
The kind of comic books that I grew up with are strips. Comics tend to exist in a larger universe like the Marvel universe. Plus, it’s not uncommon for a story in comics to span over several issues and even several titles. Strips on the other hand are most commonly stories on their own with little to no connection to other stories. Plus, as I mentioned before, strips aren’t usually superhero related. Here in Belgium we have several strip series like Kiekeboe, about the Kiekeboe family but Marcel Kiekeboe in particular. There’s also Jommeke, a boy and his friends; Nero, a family man; Urbanus, a boy and his family. And there’s many others like them.

Today I’m here to talk to you about one man in particular. He is the godfather of Belgian strips. A legend in his own rights and a man who has brought Belgium countless of series that are made out of pure win. This man is our Stan Lee. He might not have created comics like Spider-man or Captain America or The Fantastic Four, but he has been entertaining us since 1945 none the less. Now, 20 years after his death, his creations are still entertaining us albeit made by different hands. He is:

Update 10/05/2010

Roight, the situation with my great grand mother still isn't cleared. The docs say that her heart is weak and that it's still 50/50 at the moment, with a tendency towards the bad 50%. At the moment I'm just going along with life, trying not to think about what's going on. I've been meaning to write a few more things or even make a bit of art, but everything I make seems uninspired and dull. I don't know ... but hey, at least I'm trying. I'm sorry for the lack of updates but, stick with me folks. Just, stick with me.

In the meantime, if you want to see more awesome content, don't forget to check out tehpwnshop.wordpress.com! Go there, or be square.

Lastly, I'd like to thank everyone at TGWTG and Rooster Teeth for producing so much awesome content as well. Watching all of your stuff is really helping me get through the day. I'd also like to thank Noah Antwiler and Lewis Lovhaug for their awesome stuff.
