Zuda Goes Live

They've been simmering along in beta for a while now, but it is official as of yesterday. They have their first winner and will be pushing the frontiers of comics as they look for new talent. Or something very like that: Zuda.

The Life and Death of a Pumpkin

It's Halloween and do you know what your pumpkin is thinking?

Cheer up. Go read Bradbury's The Halloween Tree.

Paolini Going For Four In His Trilogy

It seems the third book of Paolini's Inheritance series, scheduled for September of 2008, is not enough. Basically, he found that the story requires yet another book to complete the cycle that began with Eragon and continued in Eldest. No date announced for the fourth book.

"The Pumpkin Song"

Building up to the big day: "The Pumpkin Song."

Mission

You have to stay with this one past the closing credits to capture the full thrill of terror.

Little Jimmy Liked to Jump

I wouldn't want to give away the ending on this one, but do notice it's being posted as part of the Halloween series.

The Shade

Five stars.

The Stone Dagger

I'll let this one speak for itself.

Dancing Zombies

They're a lot of things you can do to "Sailor Fuku," a favorite of the cosplay crowd. This is one of them.

I think on close inspection these are all guys. At any rate, a few of them are cheating on the high kick, but the center dancer is in the center for a reason. Now replay it, and watch the water-show in the background.

Forever Avalon

Coming from Roc in the fall of 2009, The Sword of Avalon by Diana Paxton, about Excaliber, listed as a sequel to MZB's Mists of Avalon, but I wonder if it is might be a prequel to the main story, since, classically, the dying Arthur's sword was returned to the Lady in the Lake who gave it. Of course, Mists of Avalon was not exactly canon, either.
