Man Of Action Essentials: The Nightmarist
Posted by MOA on November 23, 2012
While most of us are probably having nightmares of more turkey, Beth Sorenson's dreams are being invaded by an entity calling itself, The Nightmarist, who claims to protect her from forces plotting to twist her will. Beth's reality begins to crack. With horrors closing in around her, while awake and asleep, Beth must decide -- has she gone crazy? Have her dreams become ground zero in a battle for the future of mankind? Can she trust The Nightmarist?
Man of Action Duncan Rouleau both drew and wrote The Nightmarist, including the screen adaptation which has recently been optioned by Paramount Pictures. Catch this Man Of Action Essential first before it hits the big screen!
"Rouleau's art is especially delicious, with a detail and control that gives shape to the inky terrors lurking in the story. (Grade: A-)" - Tom McLean, Variety
"The Nightmarist is the best original graphic novel released in years, and I claim this during a time when OGNs are popping out of the woodwork each and every month." - Dave Petkash, Broken Frontier
"Rouleau is a versatile and capable talent, and NIGHTMARIST is a thing of beauty to behold." - Marc Mason, Comics Waiting Room

Man Of Action Essentials: It's A Bird...
Posted by MOA on November 21, 2012
Superman and Non-Superman fans alike can both enjoy the Eisner Award-winning It's A Bird... by Man of Action Steven T Seagle and Danish artist Teddy Kristiansen!
It's A Bird... is one of the realest Superman tales ever - without featuring Superman. Steve's given the dream assignment to write Superman, only he can't relate to a Man of Steel when his own fears of death haunt him. Explore the cultural significance of a comic-book icon as Steve comes to terms with Superman's cultural importance.
"...remarkable, genre-bending work..." - People Magazine
"...easily ranks with SPIRIT creator Will Eisner's memoirs...and Michael Chabon's best-selling The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay." - USA Today
"Terrifically wry...deep thinking...this is something truly different." - Entertainment Weekly, Editor's Choice
"...strikingly original..." - The New Yorker
"Magnificent" - St. Louis Dispatch
"Ingenious" - Newsday
"...does something unique with the graphic novel, and it's well worth the time of any reader..." - San Francisco Chronicle
Recommended on NPR's "Talk of the Nation"

Man Of Action Essentials: I Kill Giants
Posted by MOA on November 20, 2012
Man of Action Joe Kelly & J. M. Ken Niimura's epic I Kill Giants is still bringing grown men to tears!
Walt Richardson at Multiversity Comics reviews IKG - HERE - tissues in tow - "There are many books I would recommend, but few I would label as 'essential.' 'I Kill Giants' is one of those few. In this mini, Kelly and Niimura expertly capture human emotion in a way that is simultaneously reassuring and absolutely heartbreaking. We are stronger than we think — though maybe not strong enough to make it through “I Kill Giants” without sobbing."
