It's Martin Luther King day in the United States, where we honor a great civil rights leader. Last year, I did a post on Dr. King's comic book appearances.  Based on the emailed responses from you, I thought I would continue the tradition.

Star Wars goes Blu Ray

I love Star Wars.  The Original Trilogy, I mean.  I pretty much tolerate the prequel (although the Clone Wars animated series is pretty darn good). 

As a kid, I had all the toys. I was a charter member of the Star Wars Fan Club and still have all my Bantha Tracks issues.  I read most of the novels and play the video games.  Sadly, I also own four different versions of the original trilogy  on VHS, two different versions on DVD, and far too many "original" dvds I have picked up at shows.

Now,  I see on Syfy.com (on Blaster or scifiwire.com or whatever it is called today) that Lucas is finally bringing the Star Wars films to Blu Ray.  That means, at the risk of my marriage, I will have to buy one more copy of the movie.

Joe Sergi Awarded HALLER for Best Writer at the 2010 New York Comic Con

I am finally catching up on my to do list and realized that I forgot to post this last year.  Last October, at the 2010 New York Comic Con, I was awarded the HALLER for  Best Writer by the ComicBook Artist Guild for my story, "The Return of Power Boy." 

Thank you to everyone that voted for me and CAG for nominating me. There was some stiff competition for the award from some amazing and talented writers and I am honored to have received the award.

I am putting together a full video for the Awards show, but here is the Best Writer award and acceptance speech.

This is the portion of the PowerPoint I was discussing in my speech (I was also a presenter.)

The story can be read here (for free) or purchased in hard copy as part of Issue Ten of A Thousand Faces: The Quarterly Journal of Superhuman Fiction through the Amazon link below.
I also had the privilege of presenting Andy Schmidt with The Comic Industry award for his achievements in fostering the creation of comics through his work at Marvel, IDW, and Comics Experience.  That presentation  can be found here.

Formerly known as the CAG awards, in 2010, the awards were renamed the HALLER awards in memory of the passing of former CAG member and friend Rusty Haller. Here is a scan of the Award.
