CCG news briefs: Warlords of Ka'a / SolForge / Collectable Card gamers get a place for Gathering
Magic: The Gathering card back (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“Magic: The Gathering,” commonly referred to as Magic.
The game, which began in 1993, is a complex strategy game made up of spells, creatures and the resources needed to power them, all printed on collectable cards, Richter-Freund said.
“Some people spend money putting rims on their cars; I spend money on Magic cards because that’s what brings me joy,” he said. “I used to work a kind of crappy job, and after every paycheck I would buy new cards for my deck. It was a little bit of motivation.”
Michael Dunagan, the club’s president, said that while he founded the club for enthusiasts of all collectible card games, at the group’s Friday night meetings gamers rarely play anything but Magic."

Diligent watchers of the sitcom The Big Bang Theory will have heard of “Mystic Warlords of Ka’a”, a fictional collectible card game featured in the series.

During that first year, demand for Magic cards far outstripped supply, and other companies took notice, including Tactical Studies Rules—the makers of Dungeons & Dragons. TSR, as the company is better known, was in prime position to cut into Wizards’ market share. Founded by Gary Gygax and Don Kaye in 1973, TSR dominated the role-playing-game landscape throughout the late ’70s and much of the ’80s. By the mid-’90s, though, its magic-giving star had begun to wane.
A signed, mint condition Black Lotus—one of the so-called “Power Nine” [Magic the Gathering] cards—is available online at the time of this writing. The asking price is $95,000.

Hitchcock #Poster Series / designer Saul Bass / New Psycho prequil / Hitchcock exhibits
Design Work Life » Daniel Zender: Hitchcock Poster Series:
It's cool to see all the new ideas for book jackets and movie posters. Doing projects like this is a great way to create a portfolio. And the work of Hitchcock is ideal because the master knows how to tie all the small details together to make something much greater than the sum of it's parts. For instance, Most Hitchcock movies have only a few words in the title. That's marketing genius. We will forever think of Hitchcock when we hear the word Psycho or Vertigo, Suspicion or Saboteur.
Graphic designer Saul Bass created most of the movie posters for Hitchcock and Martin Scorsese, a well as dozens of logos for major corporations that are recognized internationally. He also directed his own sci-fi feature film called "Phase IV" using macro photography to reveal the life of ants on the offensive against humans. The movie was screened recently with the Long-Lost Original Ending (slashfilm.com). See this in-depth article about Saul Bass: The Evolution of an Artist (noupe.com)

An article about Why Don't Hit Superhero Movies Lead to More Comics Sales? (comicsalliance.com) is worth reading for the list of editors and bloggers who weigh in on the problem. The answer? Someone walks out of a superhero movie and into a comic book shop, but there's no continuity from the themes in the movie and a whole lifetime of comic book characters and cross-overs. There's superheroes everywhere, but no comics that tie-in to the movie and lead you to the addiction of collecting. Comics Alliance has a new New Editor-in-Chief, Joe Hughes.
