No slight on Dave Gibbons, but Evan Shaner may’ve just drawn the best Watchmen piece of art I’ve ever seen. Granted, he drew the Peanuts characters as Watchmen characters but I would totally love to read the entire series done in this style. Although seeing “little Chuck” on the big blue Dr. Charlie Brown Manhattan [...]

Avengers Ass-emble
March 27, 2008 – 12:56 pm
I seriously don’t know whether to laugh, cry or vomit up my bacon double cheeseburger right now. I just saw this trailer for Lionsgate’s next Marvel direct-to-DVD disaster. It’s the “next generation” of Avengers and it’s, well, just so awful on so many bad levels. Holy crap does this just look wrong. I honestly have [...]
The Dark Knight Rollercoaster!
March 21, 2008 – 3:58 pm
If you’re not already creeped out by Warner Bros. upcoming “The Dark Knight” flick, then maybe a roller coaster set in the middle of the movie will raise the hair’s on the back of your neck. Six Flags‘ Dark Knight Coaster is set to open in late spring, building up buzz for the movie [...]
I Really Want to Like the Hulk Movie
March 13, 2008 – 10:04 am
The trailer for the new Hulk movie just debuted and well, I really really really want to like it. Edward Norton looks great as Banner. The overall plot seems good enough. It seems to have a lot more action than that snoozefest Hulk movie from a few year’s back that I’d rather just forget. And [...]
Why Zack Synder is My Best Friend
March 6, 2008 – 1:10 pm
Yes, I’m skeptical about the “Watchmen” movie. How could anyone NOT be? But Zack Synder totally nailed Frank Miller’s “300.” And not only has he kept up an official Watchmen movie blog, but today he just released the first real photos of the main cast. And holy crap I cannot wait! Heck, I’ll even suffer [...]
Sam & Max are coming to my desk!
February 7, 2008 – 2:32 pm
Sweet Jesus in a Birch Bark Canoe! Finally someone’s snatched up the license to the best cop buddy team this side of Chief Wiggums and that pink frosted donut. Symbiote Studios will be developing urban vinyl figures and statues for the Sam & Max license. No other news available yet in terms of cost, release, [...]
Friends Meets SuperFriends
February 4, 2008 – 6:00 am
Great job on this one. Usually I find these parody videos cute for a second and the quality blows and nobody’s mouth matches the dialogue, etc. But this one is damn sharp and beautifully edited. And pretty damn funny.
Best Superhero Movie Never Made
February 1, 2008 – 12:02 pm
I would so pay good money to see this flick if it ever came out. Stick with this preview trailer till near the end, it’s worth it. And fairly short overall.
30 Essential DC Graphic Novels
January 23, 2008 – 11:29 am
DC Comics has listed 30 Essential Graphic Novels on their website. But based on the list and the explanation that these are the “best-selling titles that you must read,” this sounds more like a popularity contest mixed in with some quality measurements. I certainly agree with about 60% of this list. Watchmen. Dark Knight. Y [...]
The Liefeld Lowdown
January 21, 2008 – 12:07 pm
Let me start by saying, I seriously enjoyed Rob Liefeld’s art on his original “Hawk & Dove” mini-series for DC. It was fresh, crisp and energetic. Real good storyline too courtesy of Karl Kesel. But then something happened. Liefeld got onto New Mutants and his art starting changing. Muscles grew exponentionally. Pouches started appearing at [...]
