A Distant Soil Reviewed

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Reposted from the old blog where it was posted only last week. But good reviews need to be preserved for posterity.

This is one of those blog reviews that makes you dance and sing, and very happy you got out of bed in the morning.

I know it is the way of the big ego to be too happy with good reviews, but this writer hit many of the points I am trying to make with my book, so that has given me a boost. From Cheerful Megalomaniac:

One of the things that I was extremely surprised to see in there, is a man’s addiction to the “Nexus” a communications network somewhat akin to the internet. He actually becomes numb to humanity because he is so enthralled by the flow of information; whats the point in knowing everything, if you care for nothing? Any comic book that looks at the effect extreme internet addiction can have on someone life, but more importantly WHY the internet is so seductive, is pretty fine, IMHO.

You know, I created that scene before I ever spent a little too much time on the internet, having to download Leechblock, so I really do need to listen to the warnings in my own stories!

And thanks, Cheerful Megalomaniac!

RSS Feed

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

The RSS feed has now been reconfigured to allow full text to show in posts. Comic art will show as thumbnails.

It may take some time for the feed to show these changes.

I hope you will visit the official A Distant Soil website site and support the book, as well as our fine advertisers, the ones who pay for all this free content. And the ones who pay the moolah to enable me to continue writing and drawing my epic! Thanks!

BTW, the RSS feed in Firefox is not showing all copy, but the RSS feed in Safari is. Weird. Images in blog post look good in Safari, but comic pages are not showing up. Comic page thumbnails are showing up in Firefox, but no blog images. I have no idea what any of that means. Koo koo katchoo.
