Station Ident – 111924

This is your station identification for 111924.

Hello,

They call me A.P. Fuchs, Canadian writer and artist. Welcome to my blog where superheroes and monsters and Pop Culture reign supreme. I’m a veteran indie author, cartoonist, publisher, and freelancer in the realms of books and comics, and have been so for the past quarter century. This is Canister X, my official blog and the Realm of Heroes and Monsters, where we’re starting to pick up steam into getting back into giving you regular content throughout the week.

My [perhaps too many] social media presences are:

MeWe

Twitter

Facebook

Instagram

Pinterest

Tumblr

LinkedIn

WT.Social

YouTube

Ko-fi

TikTok

LinkTree

Spotify

YouTube Music

My Patreon page is located here. It’s a very awesome place on the Web where I post serial novels, serial comics, essays and articles on the creative arts business, behind-the-scenes insights, art, photos, and more. Join me and my other patrons and be a part of something fun and interesting with regular content. Check out the fun trailer for the page.

I’m also the writer and artist behind the webcomic, Fredrikus, a dystopian sci-fi about an anthropomorphic dog, which you can read from the beginning here.

On Saturdays, I send out my newsletter, The Canister X Transmission. It’s a weekly newsletter where we all come together after the week, take a break, regroup, and head into the weekend. Right now, we are writing Year Seven which has the general theme of fluidity. Join myself and my readers and fans of fandom. I love the fan community as it’s the best group of people to be part of, both physically and virtually. It’s 100% home.

vLog – My YouTube Journey Part 4

Here we are with another vLog updating you all on my YouTube Journey. It seems good practice to do this even if just in the interest of archiving. It’s nice to have a record of how this channel has changed and grown over time and what you as a viewer can expect.

In this video we discuss updates since the last YouTube journey video and talk a bit about how the channel has morphed into one with some set programming on certain days.

I plan to iron out the programming part a bit more so you know which day of the week is what, but in the meantime, we’re doing pretty good with the following:
- Minifigure Monday
- Funko Friday
- Story Time Podcast Sunday
- More to be announced

Canister X Mailbag – 1989 Batman Batwing Lamp Unboxing – Nov102024

Check out this awesome Batman 1989 batwing lamp! I got this as a birthday present from my kids. Means the world to me and I’m so grateful for having such thoughtful and amazing children. Plus, they know my love for Michael Keaton’s Batman so I guess they get some extra in the will haha.

This batwing is just like the one featured in the movie, details and all. And, of course, the ability to make the iconic batwing against the moon scene from the movie. It’s in this video so check it out!

I love this batwing desk lamp!

Thanks, guys!

Funko Friday: Winnipeg Comic Con Funko Pop Haul! Superman and He-Man

Posted on November 8, 2024 5:04 am by A.P. Fuchs Comment

Funko Friday: Winnipeg Comic Con Funko Pop Haul! Superman and He-Man |

Super Awesome Pops!

Winnipeg Comic Con 2024 was a blast. I tabled in Artist Alley and shared my books of superheroes and monsters with people of all ages. The Axiom-man superhero books and the Zomtropolis zombie book were bestsellers.

Winnipeg is really great at supporting the arts so, thank you, hometown.

While we were there, of course we did a little shopping and found these five wicked Funko Pops! for well below their value. We’re talking old-school black and white Superman never mind the He-Man was I after. (You guys might have decent pricing in the States but here in Canada some of this run-of-the-mill stuff costs way extra.)

Please check out this video for a Funko good time and check out this Funko Pop Haul!

Justice League The Snyder Cut – Black Suit Superman at Amazon here.

Superman Blue Electric Suit at Amazon here.

He-Man at Amazon here.

Prince Adam at Amazon here.

Don’t forget to stay to the end for more Funk Pop! videos.

The Canister X Transmission: Issue 355

Posted on November 2, 2024 3:51 pm by A.P. Fuchs

The Canister X Transmission: Issue 355

Issue Three Hundred-fifty-five – November 2, 2024

Greetings . . . and all that.

As I start this edition, we are dead in bed from working heavy hours for two weeks straight.

I remember the jobs I had in my early twenties and how my whole life schedule-wise revolved around them and I was all into it and having a blast—and that had nothing to do with a paycheck. I just enjoyed working. Was able to be in go-mode all the time without issue. Now that’s starting to slow down. I still enjoy working. I’m a workaholic. Current work-on-self project is finding balance between work and play so I’m still testing things out, but sheesh . . . fried.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Okay, the Good news/Bad news. I don’t know if I should preface with the good then do the bad or . . . . Okay, that’s the path. Here:

Good news is the writing of the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy is getting done and on schedule for new deadline, and the general three-part cover layout is complete as of this writing. The bad news is we obviously missed our end-of-October release plan.

But there’s good, solid, and valid reason and I ask for your trust in that regard.

An event occurred beyond anyone’s control behind the scenes and it was a dead serious matter. Everyone is okay but it occurred out of nowhere thus skewing the schedule.

Current aim is to release by end of year. I do indeed want to cap off 2024 with the trilogy so I can dedicate prime creative energy into art in 2025.

We’re working on it. Thanks for your patience.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Saturday AM.

We argued with ourselves this morning, a grown-up human being lying in bed with the head craving the pillow and the body wanting to move. You feel like an idiot because it’s you vs you and there are valid arguments for getting up and staying down.

We got up.

Nap, certainly, later, but we got up. A cold started yesterday, and today I’m very coughy with yuck to go with it. It’s very much going to be a pace-it day unless things improve.

Last weekend I did some live video at the Winnipeg Comic Con. They were this week’s effort on the socials for those who didn’t catch it live. I also took a ton of pics so plan to do a picture compilation video as soon as able.

Here are the live ones:

Live Stream No. 3: Dystopian YA Author Melinda Marshall at Winnipeg Comic Con 2024

Live Stream No. 4: Winnipeg Comic Con 2024 Artist Alley Tour!

________________________________________________________________________________________________

I’ve been doing conventions for years and always heard people complain about “con crud” after the fact. (Con crud is basically you getting sick after a show because you were around 10,000-plus other people; last weekend’s turnout was 30,000, I was told.) Never been an issue but Melinda came down with something nearly right after the show. I was fine and conquered the week but yesterday the coughing really got going and I feel the inklings of a cold today. Even while in bed this morning I was freezing despite being completely dry (so not from a night sweat).

The plan is to load up on some cold-fighting home remedies, maybe a store-bought one, a hot shower, and some rest. For colds, my usual routine is simply load up on the above then sleep it off. Nine times out of ten I wake up with the cold mostly gone.

Into battle, I suppose?

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Lastly, we scored big on Funko Pops at the show, stuff that was super pricey online and I got them for about 85% off, all perfect condition.

The beauty of conventions.

I’ll leave you be now. I need to heal up.

Have a good weekend, and if you’ve got your own version of con crud going on, time to tackle it and deal.

Peace.

Best,

A.P. Fuchs

Live Stream No. 3: Dystopian YA Author Melinda Marshall at Winnipeg Comic Con 2024

Live at Winnipeg Comic Con 2024 author A.P. Fuchs interviews author Melinda Marshall about her new Dystopian YA release, THE TYPHON PROJECT!

This book was a hot seller at the show and Melinda put a lot of work into it. The miracle of this book is the first draft was written in three days as part of a novel writing contest. Of course, it went through revisions and edits after, but getting a first draft out in three days is an impressive feat.

Listen to Melinda as she discusses her new book that debuted at the convention and found its way into many readers’ hands.

THE TYPHON PROJECT by Melinda Marshall:

Short synopsis:

To save humanity, Leah is among the chosen for genetic modification. She is sent to The Typhon Project with the hope of finding a cure to save what’s left of the planet. But she can’t shake the suspicion something isn’t right.

Available in paperback and eBook at your favorite bookstore or online vendor like:

Funko Friday: Peter Pan and His Shadow Funko Pops

Posted on October 18, 2024 5:08 am by A.P. Fuchs

Funko Friday: Peter Pan and His Shadow Funko Pops

Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie is one of my favorite stories of all time. It’s been presented in different ways over the years depending on audience, but the concept and background of the character has always remained the same. Being a superhero nut, I’ve always equated Peter Pan as a kind of swashbuckling superhero, “super” because he can fly.

These two Funko Pops hold a great meaning to me for a few special reasons of which are given in this video. Hope you check it out and join me as we take the second star to the right and straight on ’til morning to Neverland.

Canister X Mailbag – Spoiler Funko Pop! Unboxing – 10122024

Posted on October 16, 2024 5:23 am by A.P. Fuchs

Canister X Mailbag – Spoiler Funko Pop! Unboxing – 10122024

I collected the Robin comic books series back when Tim Drake was the star. Spoiler was a fantastic character and a Robin to his, er, Robin. But she also held her own and even held him in check at times. Of course, there was the romantic tension between them and while they were shy–they were teens, after all–they both knew they had it bad for the other person.

When they made this Funko Pop, I had to have one to go along with my Robin, Batman, and Nightwing as part of the bat-family. Welcome aboard the Funko ship, Spoiler!
