Yesterday, Sunday morning, I sent the second book in the BATTLE OF POWER Trilogy, AXIOM-MAN: TRANSFORMATIONS, off to the printer. I also uploaded the various eBook versions needed for my eBook distributors (this was talked about in this past weekend’s newsletter).
Already some of the eBook listings have started to pop up online. Once the paperback lists too, then I’ll do an official launch of the book and its delegated page here on the website.
As for the final installment, AXIOM-MAN: NEW DAWN, as of this blog entry I just got it back from the editor so the next task is to go through the edits before beginning the production procedure, which involves a final read-through. The cover art is also done. It just needs the design and layout.
What’s great about a superhero series like this is once your design is settled upon–like in the first book, AXIOM-MAN–you just carry it over to the next then the next, etc. No need to think of new fonts or anything like that except for the title of the adventure, which is quite easy.
Really excited for you guys to read TRANSFORMATIONS. Straight off, I’ll tell you the title is the plot. Ahhh, off to press.
A.P. Fuchs Livestream No. 5 Winnipeg Comic Con 2025 Artist Alley Tour
Writer and artist A.P. Fuchs goes live at Winnipeg Comic Con 2025 and gives you a tour of Artist Alley. Starting off at his table, all sorts of cool books and comics are explored along with stellar pop culture art, crafts, and merch.
The comic convention was a lot of fun. Looking forward to next year.
Take a look at what’s shown and, perhaps, look into the artisan yourself if something catches your eye. Supporting true art is so important in this day and age. Join the fight!
Reader Questions: What Application do You Use and is Paper Involved Anymore?
In our electronic age where most is done on-screen, asking if a writer still uses paper is a valid one. I can’t speak for other writers regarding their own process, but me? Both are involved from start to finish.
All is explained in this writing video so please be sure to check it out. Perhaps this electronic and paper mix might be of assistance to your own work?
205 pages of ruled lines for journaling brought to you by Axiom-man, Canadian superhero. Bonus blank pages in the back for extra thoughts. Write like a superhero and pour it all out on the page. This journal or diary is for writers of any level.
Running from March 2024 to January 2025, The Canister X Transmission was sent via email to readers worldwide.
This newsletter year explored the theme of fluidity, which meant Fuchs didn’t set a specific format and instead wrote freely week to week about whatever was going on and, of course, did his best to entertain and inform.
Year Seven broke a streak of two long newsletter years and was instead delivered to readers weekly without missing an issue.
Topics include: work updates, access to digital content, writing and publishing discussion, an open letter about the rise of AI, thoughts on life, points of amusement, and general fun.
Exclusive to this collection is a special newsletter, Issue Three Hundred Thirteen A, unavailable anywhere else.
Welcome to The Canister X Transmission: Year Seven.
Winnipeg Comic Con 2024 A.P. Fuchs and Melinda Marshall Books Unboxing – Dystopian YA and Monsters and Superheroes!
Winnipeg Comic Con is coming up on October 25, 2024, which is one week away from the posting of this video. Wonderful book stock just arrived and author Melinda Marshall and myself want to share the opening of these boxes with you because they contain new titles by both of us!
The big highlights are:
THE TYPHON PROJECT (Dystopian YA) by Melinda Marshall:
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.
AXIOM-MAN/CRIMSON CLOAK: SCARLET SYNERGY (Superhero) by A.P. Fuchs:
Surrounded by a strange red mist, Axiom-man finds himself in a world not his own. Not again. Meeting a man who calls himself the Crimson Cloak, Axiom-man and this red stranger must fight their way through a hotel of madness where each new floor brings on a deadly challenge.
CAUGHT IN BLACK HEADLIGHTS (Poetry) by A.P. Fuchs:
All right, World, this is how it’s going to be: Rhymes and verse, Melodies rehearsed, across life’s rocky sea. Read a poem, maybe two, pick three if you wish to dare. Ramblings and coherence, sometimes jots of incoherence, anything for poetic flare. Enjoy and explore, please do, I implore. Let’s talk about life bizarre ’cause it’s pretty complex stuff, said Harvey Pekar.
