Falling Skies

[Heinleinaddict]

Anyone on SFF chronicles check out this webcomic?

It is written by longtime Dark Horse cohort, Mark Verheiden (Aliens Vs. Predator, My Name Is Bruce), the series will storyboard the harrowing events of an alien invasion, which places Tom Mason, and his three sons, Hal, Ben and Matt in a struggle to survive as they fight back against the aliens.

After the attack, the aliens kidnap Ben. Determined to find his missing son, Tom joins 2nd Mass, a group of soldiers and civilians struggling against an occupying alien force. However, supplies are running low, and Tom must locate an old friend to equip his team, and ensure the human race will persevere!

I am a big fan of Sci Fi(I read it constantly) and comics and where the two meet semi-realistically is my favorite type of fiction. I work for the marketing team that is covering this campaign for Dark Horse and TNT, and I have a hard copy of issue #1 sitting on my desk as we speak

To check the comic for yourself go to:
Falling Skies

Also Fanbolt has a trailer for the upcoming series debuting this summer:

Sounds interesting. I've not picked up a Graphic novel or comic for some time, but i used to really enjoy the Aliens stuff.

This looks pretty cool so far. Thanks for the heads-up, Addict.

 

[Heinleinaddict]

A pleasure. Sci-Fi is our genre right?

New trailer for the series over on TNT's website:

Falling Skies New Trailer - TNT

The series keeps looking better and better, and having read the webcomic, I think the whole experience will be pretty awesome

Well the series has aired!

Spielberg who executive produces the show, has really picked a very worthy project. Insofar as scope, this is a clearly worthy series. The series managed to capture the frenetic energy of a group of people fighting for their lives against nearly impossible odds.

This is a good space on SFF to talk about eps of the series as a space for genre fans.

Let's get it started!

Once again the show's site: http://www.fallingskies.com/

Have not checked out the webcomic, but have been watching the show. I happen to like it. Granted, I think the second episode I thought was the best (The Pope is just one of those characters who you want to see on screen). Was glad to hear that it got picked up for a second season.

 

[JustPassingThrough]

New episode was very good. Some good stuff there. Especially the part that I won't talk about because it would spoil stuff.

Still glad they are getting a second season.

 

[JustPassingThrough]

Pretty decent episode, but the ending made it and so made you looking forward to the second part.

I don't trust Ben or Ricky.
