SJCE’s Classic Video Game Music Concert
Check out my arrangement of music from Super Mario Brothers 3 (Track 9) plus arrangements of lots of music from cool games by some great Seattle composers.
Superman’s job is to fight for and inspire those who cannot fight for themselves. His job is to make this world a better place and to help all men realize their potential as supermen.
Superman 2000 pitch. (via jordangibson)
If you’ve never read the Superman 2000 pitch, by Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Mark Millar, and Tom Peyer, I can’t recommend it enough. Someone sent me a copy a few years ago, but now it’s available online for everyone, especially you.
Most of the ideas and themes ended up in my two favorite Superman stories, Waid’s Superman: Birthright and Morrison’s All Star Superman (for my money, the best first and last stories of the Man of Tomorrow), but in this failed pitch to take over the Superman titles, you can see just how far ahead of the game these guys were on how to write Superman, what he means to humanity, and their general methods for tackling any of the decades-old, global icons that have sprung from American superhero comics.
The phrase “include and transcend” has been like a secret mantra for me, ever since reading the Superman 2000 pitch. It contributed greatly to how I approached my own little failed pitch. It’s like a little key guide off to the side that makes sense of all your favorite creators’ mainstream comics and points out how to make them yourself.
This is worth your time.
