Taking a look at today’s paper, I see that Marvel superhero Tigra (Greer Grant-Nelson) is taking it off for tigers in a PETA initiative opposing alleged cruelty to animals at the Barnum & Bailey Circus now performing in Fort Worth. Naked superheroes is a cause I can support. Bring on the bare Ms. Marvel, Black […]
Some times these fan made trailers are many more layers of Earth shattering cool than anything Hollywood could produce. And this fan-made trailer of the Green Lantern movie is pretty danged cool. Of course, it has Nathan Fillion in it and I am always a sucker for that guy. I like him in everything. A […]
Of the many laudable aspects of the Memorial Day Weekend – time with friends and family, BBQ, swimming in the pool, beer – my absolute favorite is the Half Price Books 20% off sale. During the sale, they provide an additional 20% off their everyday half-off prices on every item in the store. It’s a […]
Over the weekend, Paul announced the winner of the 100 Free Comics That Don’t Suck Give-A-Way. It was Bear Swarm’s Rob that won the day. He gave a nice shout out to IoM over on his podcast while at the same time speaking rather harshly of me. I suggested to Paul that perhaps, just […]
I was afforded the opportunity to take a peak at the entire first issue of We Kill Monsters coming this July from Red 5. You may recall We Kill Monsters from Free Comic Book Day, when the nice folks at Red 5 provided a free preview. Gotta tell you, this book looks awfully cool. It’s […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve been excited about something happening in the Bat-books. Right now? I’m all giddy. In June, DC Comics and Greg Rucka bring the world Batwoman. Originally introduced way back in the pages of DC’s weekly, 52 (y’know, DC’s good weekly?), we haven’t seen a whole lot of her since. Now she’ll […]
Free Comic Book Day was all kinds of wonderful at Zeus Comics in Dallas, Texas yesterday. Store owner Richad Neal continues to support the hobby and the local comics community by bringing in great guests for the event. Luminaries such as PVP’s Scott Kurtz and House of Mystery’s Matt Sturges signed autographs while chatting with […]
From the folks who brought you the Dynamic Do-Over and Superman: Man of Style comes Wolverine: Look Sharp. Project Rooftop in collaboration with DCBS are providing you the opportunity to give everyone’s favorite claw-popping runt a mutant make-over. It’s an awesome contest (not as awesome as ours, but still…) with some great prizes. I think […]
Free Comic Book Day is a bonafide holiday at my house. It’s on the calendar, plans are made around it, we gather around the Free Comic Book Day tree, and sing Free Comic Book Day carols. It’s a whole thing. One grand tradition that my family shares is looking at all the titles released for […]
I came across this little gem over the weekend, a video demo-ing a comic shop locator for iPhone. Okay, first… too damned cool. Second? Who’s releasing it? The YouTube entry is posted by Diamond Comics, who distribute comics and created the web incarnation of the Comic Shop Locator. Okay, but who is developing this thing? […]
