The Burning Mind is back with Volume 100,000,000,000,000,000 of the planned, sometimes, semi, occasionally, ongoing blog discussing comic books.
Forget me? Oh, well.
Never Knew me? That might be good. Who knows?
Never heard of the Burning Mind blog? Probably more my fault then yours. Let’s change that now, shall we.
Well, comic books fans, it’s been a while.
First thing I want to say is:
I LOVE COMICS!
I LOVE COMICS!
Third Thing:
BURNING MIND IS BACK!
(AGAIN . . .)
So, a little history. The Burning Mind started as a column on the Comics Bulletin website (comicsbulletin.com – check them out NOW!). Then migrated over to a Blog for reasons unknown!
As I blog I tried to keep to a bi-weekly schedule, with weekly reviews of new indie comics I picked up each week. My schedule didn’t always allow that though, in fact I believe this is the first piece I have written for the blog in 2017. Maybe, I have to check.
Whether it has been for ComicsBulletin or for this Blog my thoughts on comics run the gamut on subjects, style and formats. I’ve written pieces that have been acclaimed and considered quite good, some fluff (of course) and even controversial articles (such as one on Jack Kirby which actual had a guy threaten to kill me. Yep. Happened.)
I don’t keep to any particular style and write on anything I want to that has something to do with comics. I’ve done editorial pieces, news pieces, reviews and straight out rants! In the past I have also done a series of “How To” on creating and publishing comics that remains unfinished. I should look into restarting and finishing that series.
If you didn’t know, I am a creator, have been and will be again one day, a comic book publisher as well. Also, a published writer with numerous short story credits and an indie filmmaker.
Ok, little history lesson is over. The Future.
The Future is always in Flux. I have a busy schedule coming up – but this blog is planned to be part of that. My plans for the rest of 2017 is to return to my weekly indie reviews starting this week (the first week of August), and to write at least one piece a month on something to do with Comic Books – no matter what it is! (Any ideas?!)
The Reviews will go up each Saturday. The Monthly pieces on a Wednesday.
Well, that’s it for now I think. If things change, I’ll let you know.
Wait, guess what – something changed! I remembered something as I wrote that sentence!
Social Media! I suck at social media, but am going to make a conscious effort to get better. So I will soon be launching a new Twitter and Facebook page to go along with the Burning Mind Blog. Stay Tuned.
Since Today is August 2 (and Wednesday), I may cheat and call this 'State of' my monthly piece for August.
We'll see.
Later.
Ace Masters
