My next novel release is A FEW ODD SOULS from Jackanapes Press: "A novel of heroic fantasy by John R. Fultz, set in highly imaginative worlds of weirdness and horror. This standalone novel connects satisfyingly with Fultz's 'Urbille' short stories from DARKER THAN WEIRD."

A promotional image for the movie Scorpion King: Book of Souls, the fifth movie in the franchies, shows a stylized scorpion log at left, and three of the actors at right. The are a tanned white dude in some kind of armor, a bald Black dude wearing a sort of battle harness, and a woman with bronzed skin who is really committed to her bangs.
How did I not know that there are FOUR sequels to the Scorpion King, all released direct-to-video? They're all supposed to be pretty bad, but I'm a sucker for sword & sorcery movies.

The one pictured here is actually pretty good. Far better than the other 3, but not as good as 1. 2 is by far the worse of the lot. I've watched "Book of Souls" many times, though half as many as I've watched the first.

It would be so cool if this was good. We need more old school, R rated sword and sorcery films.

I will die on the hill that "Hour of the Dragon" should have been an MCU movie with the Heart of Arhiman being an Infinty Stone. Would MCU Conan be PG-13? Sure, but pre-Endgame could have done him justice, by Crom!

If you work in comics, you know how difficult it can be to get press coverage and reviews once a series has launched and is rolling.
I'm ecstatic that 19 issues in we still get this kind of reviewer response. It is a rare and wonderful thing.

By Crom, Conan is in the house today. I chased a nice copy of this one for some time. Our barbarian friend proved elusive in high grade. Originally released in February 1975.
Reprints stories from Conan 11 and Savage Tales 2 & 3.

A toy photo of He-Man from Masters of the Universe. He's standing with a sword and shield on a rocky outcropping in front of Castle Grayskull.
He-Man set forth, axe gleaming, shield steady. The Turtlefolk had pleaded for aidβthe Boglands were befouled by dark sorcery, and their archdruid had been taken. With a prayer to the Sorceress on his lips, his quest began.

Look I know I'm running a Kickstarter right now but I can't stop thinking about making a TTRPG where a pyramid descends from space and plants in a medieval world and people have to venture inside to face horrors and win treasures.
Yeah it's a KRULL ripoff of COURSE it's a KRULL ripoff!

Balanced on the bow of a slender boat, two dark haired Amazon warriors stand poised to attack. The point of the bow has splintered the rails of another vessel. The armored men aboard lurch back with the impact as the Amazons surge forward. One grips a spear two-handed overhead, ready to stab downward. Holding a round shield for defense, the other draws back her sword arm ready to swing. Her long green cape drapes down over her leanly muscular body as she pivots. Billowing mist obscures all but the tip of their ship. The sky above is gray, clouds tinged with red by a bloody gibbous moon.

Remember Me in AzatlΓ‘n: the mythos of Greg Mele
I desire to read S&S fare inspired by the cultures, history, and geography of the American continents...
Bronze Age Greece meets the Aztec Empire in this unique set of stories that shift from CAS weirdness to REH thunder in a world unlike any I've seen in Sword & Sorcery. Author Greg Mele should not be missed.

If anything, leftists these days are more likely to be on board with horny fantasy stuff. Right-wingers have a bunch of purity/modesty stuff going on. Thatβs way creepier and more insidious than sword & sorcery cheesecake ever was.
