Dark Reign: The Shattering
I have mentioned my comic project several times in this blog I am sure so here is a little more about it as well as a few of the pages I have finished for it.
It began with the superhuman registration act which incited a civil war that divided the superhuman population, pitting hero against hero.
While that spectacle held the world’s attention a secret invasion of Earth by the shape shifting Skrulls escalated. The heroes put aside their differences and united against the Skrull invasion but it was an unlikely ally who saved the day, Norman Osborn – fully pardoned from his criminal past as the Green Goblin and leading the Thunderbolts initiative.
The president rewarded Osborn by stripping Tony Stark of his command position with S.H.E.I.L.D. and giving to Norman. Osborn renames it H.A.M.M.E.R. and creates his own teams of Avenger and X-Men, mostly made of villains masquerading as heroes. Under Osborn’s dark reign many of the real heroes choose to retreat into hiding while others mysteriously just disappeared. Osborn’s ‘heroes’ kept the peace while many villains took part in revolving door deals and were having back room meetings with Osborn himself which would keep them out of prison. There were rumors of heroes and teams even still standing in the shadows, opposing H.A.M.M.E.R. and Osborn chased these whispers with a determined resolve.
Under the influences of Loki, god of mischief, Osborn led a siege of Asgard using the powerful Sentry to lay waste to the mythical city. Loki was slain by the Sentry after attempting to stop Norman’s attack when he realized that it was going further than he had originally wanted it to go. When the dust settled, Asgard lay in ruins and Thor and all other surviving Asgardians had vanished. Ares, the god of war, also felt betrayed by Normans actions and attempted to stop the Sentry but has not been seen since part of the city collapsed on him during their fight.
Today Norman sits in his office pondering what his next move shall be, while enjoying a cool gentle breeze floating in the window. Little does he know that the butterfly has flapped its wings and that breeze is only the beginnings of the winds of change…

Chun Li concept art
When the awesomeness of Toy Fair was rolling out this spring DST held a contest on their Facebook page to guess what the new line was. The prize was a piece of concept art from said line. The line was Marvel vs Capcom 3 and I didn’t guess it lol. My great friend Darren/MurderofCrows however did guess it and was rewarded with the concept art for the Chun Li minimate planned for the line. This artwork is hand drawn by Uriel Caton from DST and it is amazing! Upon hearing that Chun Li is Kyes favourite Street Fighter character Darren was amazing enough to give this piece of art to Kye and it is now in a frame hanging up! Thanks a million man, he loves it!
Day 160: June 9th
Starman Custom
The one biggest gap left in my minimate collection came at the hands of the poorly run DC Direct line and the fact that it did not last long enough to give me a Jack Knight Starman minimate. I am thankful; however, for the fact that they made a Stargirl minimate and gave her the proper cosmic rod and that customizer extraordinaire Boyd made me this killer Jack Knight custom!
Day 159: June 8th
The Ice Scorpion C3 prototype box
This is one of the odds and ends in my collection. In the dying days of the DC C3 line they had pitched a round of vehicles and this is the prototype box mock up for one of them. Not all that exciting but it is the only one in existence so that is kind of neat. It also hints to the fact that this assortment would have given us a Mr Freeze minimate which would have been well received.
Day 158: June 7th
The Food Guide stop motion movie
This one was made as part of a university assignment and was actually a great idea to use for other age groups as an informational tool. I am glad to have it in my teachers ‘tool kit’ to use in my future career as an elementary school teacher.
Day 157: June 6th
Miniholidays 2006 stop motion movie
This one was made as a holiday greeting to all my friends. It was a lot of fun and I had planned to do it annually but other plans have derailed my stop motion movie plans for the time being. I had a preview of other movies I had in the works at the end of this one but thanks to a computer crash I lost all the photos and in progress work.
Day 156: June 5th
Sundays with my Son
Carnage is a beloved spider-man villain of mine! It is my liking to have Tony’s camera shop for this it is gone now I traded it to my dad for a collector’s case. As for the web spider-man was swinging. I like it.
Day 155: June 4th
Carlos the Bus Driver stop motion movie
This one was made to a song on the kids’ cd from The Little People. We had a lot of Little People toys during our kids’ younger days and they were a lot of fun with minimates too. I still have the pirate ship to use for some minimate pirate fun soon!
Day 154: June 3rd
Nobody likes a Bully stop motion movie
This one was made to a song on the kids’ cd from Spider-man and friends and serves as a great learning tool when talking about bullying. It was fun to also through a little nod to Spider-man and his Amazing Friends in it as well.
Day 153: June 2nd
Meet the Hulk stop motion movie
This one was made almost entirely with KyeZs beginning minimate collection. He really loved that fact and I loved doing that for him!
Day 152: June 1st
Peter Parker: Spider Man stop motion movie
Taking a small break from the regular routine of the blog I am posting my stop motion movies as my family is going on a big trip this week. This is my first stop motion movie and I feel is one of the best I have done. I still want to go back to doing small movies again as my camera and photography skills have greatly improved since these ones. So sit back and enjoy the movies over the next few days!
