About The Site

Stephen King’s partnership with Marvel just seems to keep getting stronger. He wrote a few pages for an X-Men comic back in the day, my brother has it, Kitty Pride comes into contact with some creepy death figure. It’s dark.

Then Marvel step it up, they start pseudo-adapting The Dark Tower into comics. It becomes a top 10 best selling item, which I honestly did not think it would do.

Then, they decide to start adapting The Stand into comic form. I cannot wait for it to start, this September I believe, and I will be buying the floppies for sure.

Now, we have N.

King has a collection of short stories coming out in November. It’s called ‘Just After Sunset‘. One of the stories is called N. It seems that before the book is released they are releasing the story to us, his dear constant reader, in a different medium. Comic webisodes.

There will be 25 episodes of the story, one each weekday. They are comic movies, much like Marvel seem to like doing lately, they did it with the first issue of Astonishing X-Men too, which was kick ass. What is also kicking ass is the creative team behind these little flicks.

Alex Maleev on art, and Marc Guggenheim on words. Pretty fucking awesome!

I have watched the first four eps, but I was having problems with the Flash player on the site, so I watched the ones CBS has posted on YouTube.

Here is the main site, Nishere.com

Here is the first YouTube ep, you can click on the others yourself, I had to.

It’s a pretty neat story so far, I’m very interested to see where it goes.

I’m still writing my proposal for Ego. Nuff said.

I’m reading Crash, and it is still interesting but unlike a lot of other stuff I have read. Also reading the Iron Fist essentials over breakfast each day, I like ‘em.
