I'm Frank Beaton. I write comic books and other things. I'm more or less delightful.

Blog it up, blog it in, let me begin

Holy cats, I have a blog?  When did that happen?  

Whatever, ass-butt.  I tweet like a golden god, so I don’t need any guilt trips about how i never blog.  You got that, “Frank Beaton”?  Yeah, that’s what I thought.

ANYWAYZ!  I wrote a short retrospective about the Planet of the Apes franchise to accompany Erik Henriksen’s excellent review of Rise of the Planet of the of the of the Apes in this week’s Portland Mercury.  You should read it because I use the F-word and the S-word and that’s funny.

FYI

That Warren Ellis quote was taken from Antony Johnston’s excellent GDC talk “Comics to Consoles.”  I encourage anyone interested in writing for either comics or video games to watch it.
