Sweet! This is going on the main page. Thanks for the heads up Clavet.

Welcome to Tron-Sector Clavet. Enjoy your stay here.

Umm, Clavet is not exactly a new member . . . he's the prez of 88MPH Studios, who was going to publish the previous Tron comic. He's posted here before.

Just thought I'd mention it. Heh.

That's great news though . . . I thought we wouldn't see another comic, any time soon.

Opps. sorry about that, I didn't look at his profile when I read then added that to the main page. Heh. I feel dumb now.

Smashing, i was looking forward to the ill fated Tron 2.0 series. Really hope this one has better luck -- Nice one!where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Worriesome: May have interesting art but it might also be too text heavy.

It's a common flaw with artists that "Slave Labour" produces. It seems like with some of their past works that they were quite text heavy and never let the art really tell the story.

So this has me worried. If it's too text heavy, it can kill the comic very easily and if that happens to Tron, that could be bad news. But if the Tron comic wasn't text heavy and kept to a style somewhat close to manga or even a style quite similar (Like Slave Labour's Hsu and Chan), it would probably be quite successful. Especially if just graphic novels were released instead.

On a similar note, just the other day, I was taking another look at the origional pencils for the cancelled tron comic and was really looking at the art and how things were portrayed. And there was some things in there that bothered me a little bit. First thing was the dynamics of the artwork itself. Sometimes it came off quite strong with a lot of energy and things seemed to jump out at you (Which is good) but quite often there were scenes and poses that needed to be drawn stronger with more energy and they just weren't. Why was that? Some times it was because of the angle the pose was drawn in or the moment of time when the pose was taken place. Lets say a character was launching a kick, you might want to have it at the moment of impact at a 45 degree angle with the foot (And the victem) flying out at the viewer (Okay.... I don't think I explained this one too well but I think you might know where I'm going with this). But the approach used was either a one or a combination of the following: a.) the pose was done at a neutral angle which robbed the scene of its' energy. b.) The instant of time chose for that pose came too late or too soon and the energy was lost and it just came out weak and just plain awkward. The next flaw had to do with Jet's face. When Jet was in the digital world, something totally weird was done with his face and it made him look ten times older than he really was. I think they were trying to go for a more "heroic" looking face.... but all that happened was it just made Jet look older than he really was. He looked about 30 or 40 when he was in there, while he popped back in to the real world, he looked about 20-something again! There was no consistancy between those two and well.... that kinda ruined stuff. When consistancy is lost, so is the unity and a pice of art (Or a comic) could suffer from something like that. I know that this style is NOT manga and perhaps shouldn't react completely like one but that doesn't give it an excuse to do stuff like "The Two Flaws." If those two flaws were taken out, it might have worked. Now if I ever shut up long enough to get a pencil and paper, I might redraw that, use digital inks in Illustrator and colour it up with the gradients tech was well.... Hm.... I think I'm on to something......

this is certainly interesting news. i hope they do a good job of "bridging the gap" between movie and game

i'm looking forward to it!order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Welll, this is cool news. Thanks Sebastien! Hopefully thec comic will make it to fruition this time. I don't know anything about that comic book company, but hopefully they do a good job.

Yeah, I wouldn't have recognized "Clavet" either -- 88MPH used to be his name

On a side note: I actually just picked up 2 more issues of 88MPH's Ghostbusters series last week'ish (vol. 3 and 4). Haven't read them yet, but looking forward to it. Thought I'd mention in case anyone else wanted to support Sebastien's 88MPH cause. I feel bad they did all that work for the Tron comic then Disney pulled the plug. http://www.88mphstudios.com/

Hey All!

Actually Disney never pulled the plug on the comic, I pulled it 100% due to creative differences and "other" factors.

I wanted to stress that Disney never pulled the plug on me, so the record is straight on that. The story behind the creation and cancelation is both very long and if there is ever a Tron Convention I'll be happy to tell it to whoever has interest in that sort of thing. One condition though, beer has to be available for all Guiness preferably

I wish ALL the luck and success to SLG, in fact one of my favorite comics is Milk & Cheese, if you don't know it look into it, its very funny, at least I think so

In hindsight, regardless of any publisher or artist, my opinion is that Tron is a self sustaining (stand alone) movie just like Blade Runner and E.T.

Anyone attempting to make a sequel or prequel in any format (comics/novel/game/movie/tv show) is embarquing in a perilous journey.

I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm saying with today's Hollywood movie studios marketing strategies and goals, results are often not what fans want. Studios will aim at box office instant returns, licensing deals and DVD sales, the ART and SPIRIT of the sequel is totally lost and secondary to those goals.

Unecessary sequels, or prequels, were created purely for financial reasons. Any given succesful formula will work again because the customers (viewers) know the product. By "work" they mean "wil return profit easily so don't overdo it and keep budget low"

Matrix 2 & 3 anyone ? Were they really necessary? And even if they are cool to look at, does'nt everybody agree that they are, story wise, far inferior to the original? Mr. Lisberger and I agreed on that subject.

He told me this about a recent trilogy that has caused quite a stir amongst its fans : "By trying to explain the myth, they killed it"

It's a though thing, we all love Tron, but the chances that the sequel becomes something else than what people actually want is very high and if such sad scenario happens it will dilute the franchise.

Think of all the crappy Highlander sequels and you know there is a gazilion examples of sequels that just made our head spin in disbelief.

Even if Mr. Lisberger writes and directs a sequel, chances are executives will impose goals, restrictions and a gazilion other "rules" that will impair ANY writer or director to do his magic. I have all the faith in the world in Mr. Lisberger, I simply don't trust shareholders of movie studios who expect rentability on movies as if they were cows to milk dry.

Tron is my own personnal time machine, everytime I watch it I can almost smell the hot dogs coming from the snack bar inside the arcade on the corner of the street. The rest are details.

Cheers

P.S. One anecdote, I recently went to the Sony Picture lot in Culver City. I was walking around the lot when....suddenly.....I found myself grinning like I never grinned before. I was looking at the Flynn's arcade.

I knew the building was somewhere in Los Angeles but I did not bother looking the address up before my departure, so when I passed in front of it I was simply speechless. I had found it totally by surprise. Of all the places this building could be, its litterally 2 streets away from the Sony Plaza building in Culver City.

I crossed the street, took a deep breathe, closed my eyes and touched the wall. I could imagine the year was 1982, at night, and the Encom van just parking right beside me. The arcade lights, the teenagers having fun. Oh man what a rush I was on cloud 9 !!!

The building is now a restaurant of course but it will never be destroyed because its a historic building and protected, if I'm not mistaken the name of that building is the Hull Building.

I'm glad I had my MP3 player and Journey's Only Solutions in it Yeah I'm a geek and proud of it !
