Towards Mecca

When I heard the news that the new Iron Man movie was actually pretty good, I have to say that I took it with a grain of salt. To be honest, I don’t think much of the recent Marvel movies. Sure, they’re pretty much all better than Superman Returns, but none so far have been as good as Batman Begins (with the possible exception of the second X-Men movie). Coming from me, it might sound strange since I’m a huge comic book fan and movie enthusiast, but I started to believe that non-Batman comics and movies should not cross paths again. At least not when Hollywood is involved.

Inspired by the many dedications to video game characters I’ve seen around, like this one of Mario, I’ve decided to make my own dedication to my favorite Street Fighter character: Ken (a.k.a. Ken Masters) from the Street Fighter video games/movies/comics.

I tried my hand at making a Joe Madureira tribute PS3 theme and I’m actually very happy with the result! For those who don’t know, Joe Madureira is one of the best comic book artists ever and definitely my favorite.

To name a few comics, he’s worked on X-Men, Street-Fighter, and the Ultimates ! Not to mention a short-lived series of his own creation called Battle Chasers. He’s also made a lot of concept art for video games. The man is a living legend and is one of the biggest reasons I draw today.

Anyhow, if you’d like to download and use the theme, you can do so here directly from your PS3’s browser! I’d really appreciate if you would also give my theme a 5 star vote if you like it

I’ve been an avid reader of the Exiles comic since its first issue back in August 2001. In fact, I liked the series so much it quickly became my favorite book. I started looking forward to the Exiles more than all of my other comics combined! I’d read and re-read each book in anticipation of the next issue.

It’s not to say that this series didn’t have it’s down point. I don’t usually keep up with a change in writers when I’m enjoying a book. I always notice a change in art but that’s easy to spot, with Exiles I always noticed the change in the writing as well. I found that, early on in the series, the story felt new and exciting. It had a point and was getting to it slowly, one issue at a time. The books’ secrets were kept very well for years and kept me coming back for more!
