Stealth Hammer #1

Stealth Hammer #1 Self Published 2021 Created & Written by Ryan Drost Illustrated by Joel Jackson Coloured by Ross Hughes Colour Assists by Evan Evans, Laci Hart & Julio Santos Lettered by Dave Sharpe Backup Feature Illustrated & Lettered by Alexandra Scott Jami Taylor is a young teen starting her first year in college when an act of destiny grants her superhuman powers. Discovering she is part of a legacy of protectors in a world of high-tech gadgetry and supernatural mythology, Jami starts a hero’s quest to save everyone as Stealth Hammer. This one was sent to me by the creator and I do enjoy when this happens because it gives me a chance to read books I wouldn’t otherwise have noticed before. This was a successful kickstarter campaign and it’s a great all-ages title so if you are looking for something cute to share with everyone in the house this would certainly fit that bill. We know I’m a fan of all-ages books that you can pass around and talk about over a device free meal and this one would great for that. The main character Jami is a high spirited young woman who always seems to be on the go learning whether that’s at school or taking self defense classes which already gives her a leg up on this whole superhero business. I like the way that this is being told. The story & plot development that we see through how the sequence of events unfold as well as how the reader learns information is presented nicely. Her enthusiasm is a bit infectious and at times you want to take a deep breath as it seems she’s moving full steam ahead all the time. The character development we see through the dialogue, the character interactions as well as how they act and react to the situations and circumstances they encounter is well achieved. The pacing is strong and as it takes us through the pages introducing us to the characters, the story and this world it is easy to get caught up in it. The way that we see this being structured and how the layers within the story emerge and grow are well constructed. It is a bit chaotic at times but that’s actually part of its charm and its been a long time since I’ve seen someone this excited about numerous avenues of the story being presented. How we see everything working together to create the story’s ebb & flow as well as how it moves the story forward is well done. For an all-ages interior book I have to say that the work is much better than I had anticipated. I love the fact that we see backgrounds being utilised so heavily throughout and how they enhance the moments and work within the composition of the panels to bring us the depth perception, sense of scale and the overall sense of size and scope to the story. The linework is great and how we see the varying weights and techniques being utilised to create the detail work is impressive. The utilisation of the page layouts and how we see the angles and perspective in the panels show a very talented eye for storytelling. The colour work is exceptionally well rendered. How we see the various hues and tones within the colours being utilised to create the shading, highlights and shadow work are beautifully rendered. The backup feature would have benefited from an introduction of where they are and why but otherwise it’s also a cute look at what’s to come for Jami during her adventures. Still it does introduce us a to a new character who feels like a gnome and he’s her guide through this part of the world. So while this is self published and it was a kickstarter if you are interested in checking this out further, which I highly recommend you do, there are several outlets you can head to and inquire about ordering one for yourself. Support indie creators I know I love to and you won’t be disappointed in the least. Where people can buy it: Contact directly through Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stealthhammer/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/stealthhammer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stealth_hammer/

WNLA’s 100th Anniversary Honored With Proclamation From Governor: This Week’s Industry News

Want to keep up with the latest news in lawn care and landscaping? Check back every Thursday for a quick recap of recent happenings in the green industry.

Governor Issues Proclamation Honoring WNLA’s 100th Anniversary Commemorating its 100th Anniversary, Governor Scott Walker issued a State of Wisconsin Gubernatorial Proclamation on January 3, 2018 officially declaring it as Wisconsin Nursery & Landscape Association Day (WNLA). Governor Walker presented the Proclamation to WNLA President Ross Swartz in a ceremony at the State Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. Also on hand were WNLA Board members and officers, Executive Director Brian Swingle, Representative Paul Tittl of Wisconsin’s 25th Assembly District, and Representative Amy Loudenbeck of the 31st Assembly District. The Proclamation recognizes the economic impact of WNLA and acknowledges the environmental and social impact of nursery plants and landscaping, mentioning the benefits of erosion control, noise abatement, water filtration and purification, air quality improvement, oxygen production, energy savings, community beautification and pride, plus the advantage to wildlife and pollinators that a robust landscape provides. The Wisconsin Nursery and Landscape Association serves the Green industry and its 225 members, which include growers, landscapers, and industry suppliers. WNLA is celebrating its 100th Anniversary with events in 2018.

MGIX Kicks Off January 15 with Powerhouse Lineup The Ohio Nursery and Landscape Association’s regional conference, Midwest Green Industry Experience (MGIX) takes place January 15-17 at the Columbus Convention Center.

Portland’s New Pesticide Ban Expected to be Costly Beginning July 1, 2019, residents and city workers will no longer be able to freely use synthetic pesticides in Maine’s largest city, except in a few limited cases, reports the Portland Press Herald. The City Council on January 3 unanimously passed an ordinance regulating pesticide use in Portland. Advocates say it’s one of strongest anti-pesticide ordinances in the country, with scofflaws facing potential fines ranging from $100 to $500. Portland will start using organic pesticides on all city-owned properties beginning this summer. The only exempt properties will be Hadlock Field, Riverside Golf Course and five high-use athletic fields that remain exempt until 2021. City staff estimates that the ordinance could cost up to $700,000 to implement. Those costs would cover new employees, equipment and up to a $250,000 set-aside to replace the turf on athletic fields.

Dirty Projectors and Fleet Foxes Debate Modern Indie Rock: “Both Bad and Boujee?”

Last night on Instagram, Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth opened a discussion on the state of indie rock, questioning whether the genre is now “both bad and boujee.” He discussed Fleet Foxes, whose frontman Robin Pecknold wrote a pair of thoughtful comments in reply, as Stereogum points out. (Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste also chimed in, albeit briefly: “😱.”) Longstreth argued that indie-rock had become “musically underwhelming ... and also bad like sartrian bad faith, outwardly obedient to an expired paradigm that we know in our hearts makes basically no sense.” He added that the genre was boujee “in the word’s negative sense: refined and effete.”

Pecknold, citing the new Mount Eerie song, contended that music of all genres is valid, “in that it defines a feeling or creates a new one, for whatever group or groups have their ears turned on that music.” He went on to say that 2009—“Bitte Orca / Merriweather / Veckatimest”—was the last time “there was a fertile strain of ‘indie rock’ that also felt progressive w/o devolving into Yes-ish largesse.” Read the comments in full beneath Longstreth’s original post.

agree / disagree ?? what do you think? i don't mean to be neg, just thinking out loud. i love the hermeneutic vibe over on @robinpecknold 's feed, i love ppl talking abt these q's. maybe 'indie rock' is a straw man and to generalize is pointless & unhelpful , just a thought thought thought

A photo posted by @davidlongstreth on Feb 9, 2017 at 8:01pm PST

Pecknold replied:

I think music is as codified as emotions are codified. Sometimes I just want to listen to Townes Van Zandt, sometimes Debussy, sometimes Kendrick, sometimes you, sometimes Solange, sometimes Television… there’s this universe of potential feeling, the music that best exemplifies a given mood (or even creates a new mood entirely, like how newly coined words enable the existence of certain states of mind) is what finds an audience. I get bogged down in thinking there is a “right” music to make at a given cultural moment, thinking influenced by retroactive-revisionist teleologies of art / music history, but to me there is a always a vast expanse of feeling being explored by everyone engaged in music and it’s all valid in that it defines a feeling or creates a new one, for whatever group or groups have their ears turned on that music. Like the newest Phil Elverum song *creates* a feeling that didn’t exist before, even if it’s musically not innovative, by virtue of it being a direct expression of his life experience that feels honest, and that one can either relate to or recognize as true, in the same way that the spoken word and voice manipulation on “Keep Your Name” conjures something fresh, suggests and depicts a personal experience in a novel way. Like they are worlds apart musically but I’d respond to both as a listener b/c they invent a new feeling and let me feel it by proxy.

He added:

Longstreth said:

love this, novelty / newness is exciting and useful to reflect a changing world, but it seems like human experience/nature has a way of staying constant : for this ,we don’t need music that changes all the time; for this, tradition is valuable
