I love Anne Hathaway, but she’s totally born to play Vonnie.
I’m thinking Ellen Paige is a better fit.
Kim is half-Japanese and half-Brazilian, can we get someone to play her who’s not Whitey McWhiterson?
Half Japanese and half (assumedly) English, but absolutely. A while back, readers put together a fan casting of Dark Science and everyone agreed that Kim definitely needs to be played by an Asian person. http://dresdencodak.tumblr.com/post/53023648494/thanks-everybody-for-sending-me-your-dark
The next Extremely Heterosexual Dark Science page will go up next week, but you can read it early right now over on my Patreon!
this specific shot is still rotating round and round in my head like a spinning top
Dungeon Meshi has it all, except literally any straight people.
one thing i've always understood as Akira Toriyama's influence on manga, even if just assumption on my part, was how his cartooning came to bear when he started writing pure action manga. when I think of his contemporaries I think of overblown special moves like Saint Seiya or the gory fist clusters of FotNS
to me it seemed what Toriyama brought to the table was the satisfaction of clarity in martial arts
when you read his fight scenes, which may have become notorious when animated for dragging on, there's no question about what's happening in the action
a clear kick to the jaw
a clean line of action on Yajirobe's slice
I first noticed this clarity pretty quickly early on in the General Tao fights during the red ribbon arc, where entire fight scenes playing out with these clear motions on the pages
Even as it got more detailed later on, the clarity stayed
clear hits on clear fight scenes
and dirtier but still completely legible lines of action
And when he started introducing the big over the top special moves we got the same thing quite often in DB: that simple visual clarity amplifying the excitement
i'm not super coherent on it right now, i'm not the biggest shonen action fan all the time and maybe Toriyama didn't introduce the world to visually clear and interesting fights in manga.
but when I see any action manga showing off clean fight choreography or sick ass lazer beams that show off clear shockwaves of destruction, i'll always be thinking of the GOAT
RIP Akira Toriyama
what if i risked my life and put up (affectionate) with your unhinged monsterfucker brother to save you. and then revealed i was an expert in illegal black magic just so i could resurrect you from a pile of bones. and what if i later explored your body in the bath. and you laced our fingers together and offered to share your energy with me. and what if after all that… there was only one bed. what then.
update: it's been ANIMATED. gifs here
How to start reading Dresden Codak
I know a lot of people who follow me here don’t know how or where to start my comic series, so here’s a quick guide for newbies! I have two types of comics on my site, one-shots and storylines, the latter just being multipage stories. If you start at my earliest comic and go forward, you’ll actually read through all of my comics in order. That’s probably the easiest way to start reading, as that way you don’t miss anything.
However, you can also start at two of the big storylines and then go back and read the others.
Hob - This is the first storyline in Dresden Codak. It fleshes out Kim, the series protagonist, pretty well and is a fairly good jumping-off point for new readers.
Dark Science - The current story that’s been running for a couple years now. It features established characters, but the story is 100% self-contained, and can be read without any issues.
I hope that helps!
