![]() ![]() ![]() This summer, no super hero is safe…everyone is a target! Stay tuned to for more about ABSOLUTE CARNAGE, including news from this year’s Marvel Comic panels at C2E2. Going from there to Maximum Carnage to Venomized to everything…everyone is a target.” ![]() “ABSOLUTE CARNAGE encompasses every single character who has ever worn a symbiote and every symbiote that has ever been, going all the way back to when Peter found the black suit. “Cletus Kasady is back, and he is deadlier than he’s ever been,” Cates teased in the video announcement. In a video during today’s retailer panel at C2E2 in Chicago, acclaimed writer Donny Cates (Thanos, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange) announced ABSOLUTE CARNAGE – Marvel’s epic summer event! Beginning in Free Comic Book Day Spider-Man/Venom #1 (out May 5), the blockbuster event starts in August (although fans will see the threads reaching as far back as Amazing Spider-Man 252 with connections to almost every Venom and Carnage story since) and re-teams Cates with Venom’s Ryan Stegman and colorist Frank Martin for the deadliest story in the Marvel Universe! ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of the new elements in the live-action rendition of the tale are dramatizations of themes that were already implicit but under-explored in the earlier movie. But, just as important, the screenwriter, David Magee, hasn’t so much added to the original as developed it. Partly, that’s because of the star power of Halle Bailey, the actress playing the protagonist, Ariel. On the contrary, it’s an authentically fuller dramatic experience, though not a more charming one. The new “Little Mermaid” expands the story from the 1989 movie’s eighty-three minutes to a hundred and thirty-five, and, to my surprise, this longer version doesn’t drag. This is also the era of backstory-the notion that each individual’s personal history is crucial to the viewer for understanding a character’s present-tense actions and states of mind. ![]() With heavy competition from streaming services and episodic television, movies are under pressure to distinguish themselves, and one way of doing so is with the spectacular dimension that a teeming and extensive story can deliver. The trend toward long movies has a commercial aspect and an artistic one, and occasionally, as in the new live-action version of “The Little Mermaid,” they converge. ![]() ![]() ![]() (For a list of some of these titles, click here.) The emphasis this year is on diversity-books that are frequently challenged are about people who are LGBTQIA, people of color and people with disabilities, about gender diversity and ethnic, cultural and religious minorities-"people or issues that, perhaps, that challengers would prefer not to consider," as Banned Books Week puts it. Also on the ALA website is the 2015 most-challenged book list, topped by John Green's Looking for Alaska. The ALA will also host a webinar on September 29 featuring authors Jessica Herthel ( I Am Jazz), Christine Baldacchino ( Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress) and Wendy Doniger ( The Hindus), who will discuss their experiences with censorship. The American Library Association will again run the Banned Books Virtual Read-Out-readers can create videos celebrating the freedom to read that will posted on a dedicated YouTube channel. Organizers of Banned Books Week has a directory of events broken down by state. Many bookstores and libraries will have displays of banned books, and will offer events and material about book bannings and the First Amendment. Banned Books Week begins this Sunday, September 26, an event that, sadly, continues to be a necessity. ![]() ![]() "I can't wait to see how you will look in a wedding dress." causing her to blush, but she quickly comported herself.

What’s that? I’m pretty much a seat of the pants writer. I love that your main characters from one book continue to be an integral part of the subsequent books in the series, not just making cameo appearances. Then seven years to sell it.Ĭhrista: Most of your books are part of a series. I was working full time, so it took a year to write. I told God I’d do my best to write for Him, but He would have to open the doors. I remember the night I finished a book and told the Lord how tired I was of reading books that assumed He didn’t exist. He gave me the upbringing I would need and the voracious reading appetite necessary to understand what makes a story. How did you start writing?Ĭolleen: I think only God knows what really makes a writer.
