This taken from the article posted on COMICBOOK.COM 12/02/2015

Adult Swim has just announced a new season of Samurai Jack to launch in 2016. The show will return during Adult Swim's Toonami block and is currently in production in Los Angeles.

You read that right folks, the 4 time Primetime Emmy Award winning series that has its roots in the early 2000's is back! Samurai Jack, created by Genndy Tartakovsky follows Jack, a samurai who travelled through time with the quest to head back to where he came from and defeat the demon Aku.

The show ended in 2004 but not before cultivating a die hard fanbase that has been clamoring for it's return for just over 10 years. Fans looking for their Jack fix got a small taste in comic form, thanks to IDW.

"I feel like it's culminating to a fever pitch almost." said Tartakovsky in a previous interview with ComicBook.com. "I feel like it's time to maybe finish the story. We've been trying to get the feature off the ground but maybe that's just fate's way of saying this is a television thing and maybe it should be a mini-series or something like that."

 Ok Y'all, just add me to the list of peeps diggin' on Marcus Williams and Greg Burnham's TUSKEGEE HEIRS. Will offer what support I can because THIS is the type of thought, actions and deeds that our creative energies should be focusing on.

 

From the Facebook postings of Greg Burnham and Marcus Williams and their TUSKEGEE HEIRS Group.....

 

""Introducing "Tuskegee Heirs"


Synopsis:


Tuskegee Heirs is a futuristic sci-fi adventure that follows a small squadron of young gifted aviators who are forced to become earth’s last line of defense against a highly advanced military faction bent on destroying civilization as we know it.


Had this concept in my head for a bit and after some wonderful confirmation bestowed this weekend passed(speaking with some awesome kids), I know this needs to happen. The homie Greg Burnham and I will be pumping out the creative juices to bring this to as many eyes as possible in the near future...."

 

I say INDEED to the brothers who has taken a ROBOTECH-esque approach to a historical, AFRICAN AMERICAN institution and gave a it a DIFFERENT life's breath.

 

 

 This has the Spirit of Hip Hop all through it. Something old, creating something new, something borrowed and I will assume the something blue will be the storylines this create team will offer. LOL and to clarify what I mean by "something blue" old school description of Life's problems. Blessings Brothers.

Wow! I was suprised to see that the BLACK PANTHER will make his debut into the Captain America/Avengers/Marvel Universe in the next CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR movie. Given just these two scenes in the trailer has a person wondering who's side he is on in this movie (if there is a side to be on). ANTHONY MACKEY as The S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Falcon, DON CHEADLE as War Machine and CHADWICK BOSEMAN as the Panther....

What? NO SAMUEL L. JACKSON? The Quota for BLACK MEN in a movie had been met?? LMAO! JKG Y'all! This should be a good film especially if it is anything like the former two which established that the "A" on Caps forehead had a lil' more meaning than just "AMERICA YO!"

Suicide Squad Trailer

We will see if DC has what it takes with characters outside of the Bat and Soops. Suicide Squad looks dark and procative but I am not sure the addition of Will Smith, Viola Davis Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje or Jared Leto's version of the Joker will make this a success. YOUR Thoughts and Feedback BSFS?

THE GODS OF EGYPT- A fantasy at best

Ok peeps just making you aware of THIS movie that hired a lot of special effects peeps of African decent. The FANTASY of this movie to me is why are the lead characters of this movie are not or at least look AFRICAN (hell I'll even go as far as to ask why don't they look Egyptian). GREAT to see Hollyhood exploring myths outside the European standard but again...sigh!  Asking for YOUR FEEDBACK BSFS PEOPLE! I am a fan of both Gerard Butler and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau but with the plethora of actors and actresses of African decent  as well as other parts of the known entertainment planet, all I can do is SMH.  I will probably wait until the digital version is available to purchase cause from the looks of the trailer it is mos def "Eye Candy". Your thoughts please?

 We will honor comic book excellence by presenting the Glyph Comics Awards, which recognizes the best in comics made either by, for, or about African-descended people. While the recipients of these awards are not exclusively authors and artists of African descent, the Glyph Comics Awards does its best to honor and recognize those creators making great contributions to the African image in graphic novels, comic strips, and comic books. By doing so, we hope to encourage more diverse and high-quality work across the board and to inspire new creators to add their voices to the field.

Last year was my first year attending and I won the GLYPH Award for the "BEST COMIC STRIP or WEB COMIC" for my franchise THE ADIGUN OGUNSANWO™. I was in shock but enjoyed the accolades towards my work and the fact that it was given by an organization dedicated to promoting the hard work and creativity of Sci Fi and Fantasy creatives of the African diasporia.
