Authortube: Every Writer Should Listen to Eminem (Opinion)

Turns of phrase. Manipulation of words. Writing beats and pacing. Take a concept and tell it once then spin it around and tell it again. There are so many versions of wordplay out there and it is every writer’s duty to play with those words if they want to bring their writing up a level or three.

A.P. Fuchs is of the opinion that every writer should listen to Eminem at least once. The man is a master at lyrics, poetry, flips of script and turns of phrase. Plenty of lessons about wordplay and pacing can be obtained by listening to his music.

Watch this short video as Fuchs explains why every writer should listen to Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers, the one and only Eminem.

Thanks.

Episode 29: Extermination – Earth. A planet filled with parasites that suck up resources without care of consequence. The Glowr orbiting the planet is not pleased. Might be time for a reset.

Here we are! The finale of Season Three of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast!

Three seasons in a little under two years. Not bad. Lots of stories shared, lots of tales told, lots of writer and artist A.P. Fuchs looking like a goofball. Either way, it’s been a fun season and a fun ride.

What’s that? Will there be a Season Four? Well, you’re gonna have to tune in to find out.

Enjoy this recap, look-back episode along with one final science fiction story to end the season!

Thanks again for joining me. Always thankful.

Cheers,

Episode 28: Thief – An aging Robin Hood fights what could be his last battle. One man against many. One man in the biggest Holy War of all.

Welcome to the second-to-last episode of Season Three of Story Time with A.P. Fuchs!

Today you’re in for a treat because we have a flash fiction tale about the legendary Robin Hood! Adventure, fun, and a little bit of sneakiness.

During Story Before the Story, Fuchs talks about how our need for stories sometimes takes control and we have to find out what happened. It’s built-in. It’s how we’re made. It’s all good.

After the story, there’s a little something after the credits Fuchs wants you to consider and it’s best heard via the watch/listen version on YouTube because he’s gonna show you something neat.

Thanks for tuning it!

Be sure to join us next week for a special episode as we wrap up this season and talk a little bit about Season Four.

Be there!

vLog – Action Figure and Funko Pop Collectibles Shopping Trip at Galaxy Comics and Collectibles!

Join me as I visit Galaxy Comics and Collectibles for some action figures and Funko Pops!

Loads of selection and a ton of stuff from McFarlane Toys. Their comic book selection is also quite good and it is there I get my Nightwing comics from.

This trip’s shopping haul got me the Cyborg Superman Funko Pop Comic Cover and a Nightwing action figure from the New 52.

My girlfriend also cashed in her birthday gift from me so some other goodies were picked up for her, namely a Wonder Woman Funko and a She-Ra Princess of Power Funko.

Fun times. I’ll be back there as usual soon enough.

Thank you for watching Axiom-man TV.

Episode 27: The Jump – Master Bram is always right, and when he asks Tina to jump off the cliff, it is then, for the first time, she wonders if all he’s led her to believe is true. But Master Bram always tells the truth. A choice needs to be made.

Welcome back to Story Time with writer, artist, nerd, and Pop Culture fanatic A.P. Fuchs. Thanks for joining us for what is now twenty-seven episodes into Season Three! Whether you’re here for the first time or have been here before, this podcast door is always open to you for a tale.

In Story Before the Story, Fuchs touches on cults and what stories might be told to convince someone to follow along with “the plan” as we explore the concept of stories being a part of everyday life–all the time.

Lego Minifigure Unboxing | Superman and Krypto, Symbiote Spider-Man, Supergirl, and Build-a-long!

A whole lot of minifigures and an extra something special came in the other day, so for this Minifigure Monday for something different, we’re doing a Lego unboxing and a mini teaser showcase of the new figures. Focused shorts and reels on each will follow, but I thought it’d be fun to share how they arrive and how they need to be built.

In this video we build Superman and Krypto from the new movie together!

The minifigures:

Superman and Krypto

Superman Blackest Night

Symbiote Spider-Man

Supergirl

Superman Justice League coin

Realm of Heroes and Monsters Back on the Air

Realm of Heroes and Monsters Back on the Air. After a little bit of web trouble, the official blog of writer and artist A.P. Fuchs is back!

Back on the Air

Aaaand . . . we’re back on the air!

(Or, at least, I hope so.)

Bottomline: WordPress updated and my site went screwy and, due to time constraints, I was unable to address it straightaway. The blog was visible and accessible to you, but not to me in regards to the back end where the content creation is done and what brings you new posts.

Anyway, after a debacle with my hosting provider, I fixed it myself (but, to be fair, they did provide a link that helped with troubleshooting but, in the end, it was a fix not part of their instruction; whatever).

So this is why the blog hasn’t been updated in a while and content is a bit behind. Please be patient with me as I bring this website back up to speed, but I wanted to drop this note to say we’re back up and running.

Thanks.

A.P. Fuchs

PS: Why not check some monster and superhero books while waiting? Thanks again.

Episode 26: Succumb – Matt made a deal to do anything for his family. He just didn’t realize the true cost of his bargain and how his tormentor has no plans of letting him go.

Welcome to episode twenty-six of Story Time! Glad to have you as always. Every single listener is appreciated so please know that. You’re special to this writer so thank you.

Before we head into the realm of horror, in Story Before the Story, A.P. Fuchs discusses the “rewind,” a storytelling item we all do but perhaps not always realize. Some of our life actions mirror how we handle the intake of stories. What’s this all mean? Tune in and find out, then, after, head into a tale where one man’s love for others cost him everything.

As usual, please stick around until after the credits because there’s always one more thing to say.

Peace.

Episode 25: Dragonfly – Talia is giving Darin the night of his life. Everything is perfect. Everything is amazing. She . . . is amazing, and has a cute dragonfly tattoo. But is there a reason?

Time is flying. Story Time is flying. Season Three is almost at an end and you’ve been wonderful listeners as you’ve been coming along for the ride. Thank you.

This week, in Story Before the Story, A.P. Fuchs questions the unknown, moreso stories of the unknown and how are very limited worldview through the lens of five senses causes us to miss a lot of what’s out there, and even for the stuff we can quantify or explain, there are still stories beyond even that.

Listen and learn.

In Story Time, what was supposed to be a night of pleasure turns into something quite different. Tune in to find out what happens when things are going too good.

Be sure to stick around until after the credits for some thoughts on the upcoming SUPERMAN movie in July 2025!

Episode 24: Bar Fight – Selena is a bit of a scrapper and an off-night at Dave’s Bar leads to a fight that’s one for the record books. Don’t mess with females!

For the opener, author A.P. Fuchs welcomes you to the show in every which kind of way before dropping some notes on upcoming concepts for the next season or two of Story Time.

In Story Before the Story, Fuchs relays how stories can have a strong impact on our emotions, whether the story is real or imagined. Might seem obvious at first glance, but when you delve in . . . you’re being manipulated. Tune in to see what this all means.

Then it’s off to the main event–Story Time–and, well, things happen when you can’t sleep.

Have a listen, drift off in your imagination, and get in on “Bar Fight.”

vLog – Superman Mego and Indiana Jones Action Figure | Amazon Screwed Up My Order Big Time!

Being a toy collector is a fun little hobby and something of a game. One of the reasons for the addiction is the thrill of the hunt.

Well, I got in two figures because they were on a real good sale (as per my standard practice for collecting because I’m not made of money) and Amazon sent me garbage.

No, watch the video. It’s garbage.

My Superman: Red Son Mego figure is destroyed and they sold me a used Indiana Jones action figure sealed in packing tape. This is silly and unacceptable. There is such a thing as customer service and customer service isn’t just about assisting the customer when they have an issue. It’s also about assisting the customer on the initial buy, and in this case, simply by selecting a quality NEW product off the shelf versus a beat-up or secondhand version of the same.

This is massively disappointing and most certainly these figures are going back for a refund.

Get it together, Amazon!

Signed,

Toy Collectors Around the World

Canister X Mailbag – Superman Kingdom Come Page Punchers Unboxing – May012025

When the Kingdom Come version of Superman was first introduced in the comics famously painted by artist Alex Ross, everyone loved the Man of Steel’s future supersuit. It’s been a staple in comics since and is also the source for the S in James Gunn’s Superman movie.

Kingdom Come Superman was also portrayed by Brandon Routh in Crisis on Infinite Earths in the CW adaptation (which wasn’t an actual adaptation of Kingdom Come comic but did use this version of Kal-El as a multiverse variant). Was happy to see Brandon don the suit again. I wish he had a chance to have his time in the sun but, unfortunately, Superman Returns was poorly written and didn’t do as well as hoped. But Routh was indeed a good Superman.

Anyway, here is McFarlane Toys’s Page Punchers Kingdom Come Superman complete with action figure and comic book.

You can get yours on Amazon here.

Episode 23: Burnt Out – Writer Peter Fox has simply had enough. He’s tired. Depressed. Wants to keep up but can’t. Perhaps it’s time to write his final story. Perhaps it’s time to say goodbye.

Welcome to the show.

Getting right into it, author and artist A.P. Fuchs talks about how something as simple as your grocery list can also a method of storytelling in Story Before the Story, once again cementing human beings live and breathe stories in everything they do for their entire lives.

Our brains love stories and, as a result, has your entire life all set as one big story with multiple plot points and side quests within that story.

It never ends.

In Story Time, Fuchs gets a little autobio through the lens of fiction, the story about Peter Fox, Fuchs’s pseudonym and author of APRIL and MY ANGEL AND ME.

Tune in.

See you inside.

Canister X Mailbag – Superman | Max Fleischer Multiverse Action Figure Unboxing

Loved the Max Fleischer version of Superman when I was a kid. Even have the cartoons now including the Super Powers action figure and the Mego figure. You can even catch a glimpse of Superman in the Fleischer supersuit in Superman and Lois’s first episode.

Such a cool multiverse figure from McFarlane Toys. I knew this figure would eventually be made and the wait was certainly worth it. Smooth features, solid coloring, well-posed, squinty eyes . . . . Perfect for the Man of Steel from Krypton.

Check out this fast unboxing video for a look at this amazing toy.

Superman Max Fleischer multiverse action figure is available on Amazon here.
