So it is more than likely I won't score any points in the second tier RED as I won't have stories in every category. I won't be able to do a couple of categories due to limitations.

The Cosmic Cube can actually take you inside the cube itself. Your very consciousness is can be trapped there. That actually happened to the Red Skull (that is his name, Hydra is the organization) in the comics. Not having seen the film in a while, not 100% sure if that is what happened. BTW, at one point, Odin possessed the Cosmic Cube, thus linking the film to Thor and later, to Avengers.

At a later point, the Skull's consciouness could actually grow strong enough to release him from the Cube - thus allowing an old Nazi (the Skull is older than Cap) to be alive in this century.

The next Captain America film is based on a story called "The Winter Soldier" from the Captain America comics. Depending on how much they take from Ed Brubaker's original story, you will find out where the Skull is in that. If they adapt a lot of it, I'm on the money.

Thanks bunches Brett! I knew without a doubt you'd have the answer for me.

I've only ever seen one scorecard where someone reached all three cap levels. It was Cakeboss (I think) back in 2010.

Wow all 3 cap levels? And here I was thinking this year's competition was looking good.

 

[RjThoughts]

I am soooooo behind on comics, it's not funny

Ah here it is: Bakeboss --- which I think was an old name that SJP used. But PLEASE don't quote me on that. I am not positive.

I don't normally ask about them. We just finished watching Captain America and I caught that blue cube thing, where before I never really paid attention to it.

Wow that's a lot of points. No won't quote and honestly don't care if it's one of her ton of alts, the id is between the winner and Laurel.

Nah, I don't care how many alts a person has either when it comes to story submission or RPs for the forums. I have some for the RP forums, but since I don't write on the forums anymore (right now) I don't need to use them anymore.

 

[BrettJ]

I'd just be happy to get a prize or something. As I can normally produce a fair volume of material, that is what I am hoping for. I am working on a new LIT submission right now, but as it is not original (part of a series I am coming back to) it won't get entered. The next one will though.

I buy comics on average every other week and keep up as best I can. It doesn't hurt to have friends who work in and own comics shops.

Since they brought back the Chapters (3000 word count) you might be able to enter that chapter to your series. You should ask Box about it on the rules/regulations thread.

I wish the one big comic store was still open in our city. Reading tables and chairs. Soda fountain. Baked goods from the bakery across the street.

 

[BrettJ]

Sounds nice RJ. The comics store here was famous - I might even write up a Wiki entry on it someday if I can nail down some facts. It was opened by my (late) friend Harry in 1971. He ran it until his death in 2002 and another fellow bought it and ran it - into the ground. Over the years, several famous people came and went. I worked there for a time. I will go places and tell someone where I live and they will ask "Oh, did you know Harry?" It is still odd to me to think he's been gone 11 years this March 12.

There is precious little I don't know about the comics business, although the past few years have changed it drastically.

I am not going to worry too much about this one RED. I've only been in the contest a month and I've written 8 / 9 tales. I don't want to make my writing all about the contest. I want to give readers more of the stories they liked in the first place.

The owner passed away, his daughter sold the business for twice what it was worth, and the new owner changed it to a, gulp, whole food vegan place.

 

[BrettJ]

If you are ever in Toronto, go to the Silver Snail on Yonge Street (they moved) It has a lot of what you want, including a coffee bar.

Harry's family had no interest in the business and sold it for pennies. I knew the new owner would not be able to keep it going. It is a shame, because anyone with a passion for comics would have. If I'd had the money ...

Alright, lovers of all things Lit. this old Litster is heading to bed. I shall see you all tomorrow morning for a brief moment, unless I change my mind and see you all a long bit in the morning.

Night - behave.

 

[BrettJ]

Wishing you a pleasant night RED.

Afternoon all. Just a quick hello and a short visit since it's Sunday and that's one of the music days for the son.

Spouse has a movie in called "Tomorrow, When the War Began".

Since we are discussing comics, can we have a symposium on the X-universe?

*sits back and waits* This is one question I can't answer. lol

 

[BrettJ]

Okay - X-Universe. There is far too much of it. I buy what I like and don't buy what I don't. Most consistent X-book is X-Factor written by Peter David. I am hoping he was far enough ahead that his recent stroke doesn't affect the book. Not sure what Brian Michael Bendis will be like - jury is still out. Interesting writer who writes hideous dialog.

I have always been more DC than Marvel but not overly happy with either company right now.

Sunday kisses for red on the lips and just below that beautiful bra.

 

[Jett_73]

Good morning Red, Brett, Fool and everyone.

Another glorious day here in paradise.

Not.

Around 6" of rain so far and more to come with wind gusts about 60mph.
