Tenet

Christopher Nolan

Gary Erskine

Tenet, dir: Christopher Nolan. 2020. Third time round and I love it. A film I enjoy that is both clever and confusing in it's vision. Tenet is rewarding and annoying in equal measure yet I will sit through it and let the story unfold. And, yes... I'm watching with subtitles on. https://t.co/xYHowoJerT

Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art

Scott McCloud

Gary Erskine

Read comics. Read manga. Read Bande Desinee. See how approaches to different stories work. Start to think about the choices made by the respective creators. Maybe try out some ideas yourself. Scott McCloud's Understanding comics and Will Eisner's Sequential Art recommended. 14/

Dune: The Graphic Novel, Book 1: Dune: Book 1

Frank Herbert

Gary Erskine

Dune, Denis Villeneuve. 2021. My love for David Lynch's version is already noted and after recently reading the book by Frank Herbert I was looking forward to this new vision by Denis Villeneuve. Verdict? I loved it. A visually stunning and immersive experience. Recommended. https://t.co/c26tX9kX0Z

Groundhog Day

Lynn Peppas

LIVE. DIE. REPEAT, 2015. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt star in this near future war story directed by Doug Liman. The quick and concise setup starts a Groundhog Day scenario with some dark humour and plenty of great action scenes. Recommended for 2000AD and Time Twister fans. https://t.co/exZetEmE1H

Frontlines: Requiem: The Graphic Novel

Marko Kloos

Gary Erskine

FRONTLINES: Requiem. 2016. Based on the series by writer Marco Kloos and script by Ivan Brandon. Here is my #process from script to colour by @YelZamor. Here you can see the how creative choices are made at each stage to help inform the narrative. Colour also shows location. 1/ https://t.co/ZEZicoWpqr

Glyn Dillon

@LykosSilverDust @kindly_anni Some consolation... we're always learning new skills. The basics help at the start of the journey but you discover exciting new ways of telling a story with experience and seeing other inspiring comickers. Glyn Dillon's The Nao of Brown rewired my brain regards storytelling!
