Indie Comics Spotlight: Hidden Gems: Books of Magic (2018)

Comics in Motion is now a Humble Bundle Partner. This week, on hidden gems Tony does a deep dive into Vertigo’s reboot of Books of Magic by Kat Howard and Tom Fowler. Timothy Hunter may be destined to become the most powerful magician in the universe, but he's still a London teenager, and having magical abilities is about to turn his world upside down... From award-winning writer Kat Howard, the Books of Magic series will captivate your interest from the start! Timothy Hunter is destined to be the world's most powerful magician--at least, that's what he's been told. In the meantime, though, he's just a regular teenager trying to deal with distant parents, school bullies, and adolescent crushes--and magic isn't helping with any of it. The forces of the supernatural seem to have it in for him. There are more than a few shadowy figures who will stop at nothing to eliminate what they see as a deadly threat to the balance of power--and those are the good guys. In order for Tim to survive long enough to fulfill his destiny, he'll have to learn how to control his burgeoning abilities as well as figure out whom he can trust--and who wants him dead. This journey of discovery begins with a new teacher named Ms. Rose, a homeless woman named Mad Hettie, and an owl named Yo-Yo--and it will lead him from suburban London straight to the heart of the Dreaming. If you want to talk with Tony about comics or to suggest any future shows, please connect with him on Twitter @Tricycleboombox.

Indie Comics Spotlight: Hidden Gems: Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters

Comics in Motion is now a Humble Bundle Partner. This week, Tony is starting his new show HIDDEN GEMS where he spends 20-30 minutes doing a spoiler free look at a comic that didn’t do very well, but that he thinks should get some love. In 1977, NASA inexplicably sent four hamsters into space to investigate a strange mass of radioactive gelatin that was hovering over the Earth. Due to exposure from the radioactive mass, the four hamsters quickly changed, evolving into something NEW. Something ADOLESCENT. Something RADIOACTIVE. Crash landing in the Himalayas, the Hamsters were found by a hidden monastery of monks who nursed them back to health, training the group in the martial arts. https://dynamite.com/htmlfiles/viewProduct.html?PRO=C109141 https://www.amazon.com/Clint-Hamster-Triumphant-Donald-Chin/dp/B000WWW7FC https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=114031 https://totaleclipse.blog/2018/04/26/1986-adolescent-radioactive-black-belt-hamsters-c/ https://comicattack.net/wcwarbbh1/ https://leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comics/series/117132/adolescent-radioactive-black-belt-hamsters https://www.cbr.com/adolescent-radioactive-black-belt-hamsters-tmnt-spoof/ If you want to talk with Tony about comics or to suggest any future shows, please connect with him on Twitter @Tricycleboombox.
