If I had a million dollars, make that 50 million dollars… I’d buy me a gorgeous old Victorian House, fix it up and turn it into a comic book art/sculpture museum. And I’d spend every dollar I could on buying Randy Bowen’s gorgeous comic statues. I have the original Captain America one and a handful [...]

Gibbons Speaks
July 10, 2008 – 10:25 am
It was just about a year ago when the Watchmen movie machine really kicked into high gear, thanks to this all-new San Diego Comic-Con Watchmen poster by Dave Gibbons. Frothing fanboys immediately followed. Myself included.
This year I’m actually attending Comic-Con and I’m sure there’ll be something even bigger Watchmen-related. Maybe some scenes, a trailer, a [...]
Swingin’ Spider-Man
July 7, 2008 – 12:38 pm
In college, I followed a local band (friends of my geeky D&D type friends of my roommate actually) who called themselves The Acoustically Bent. They had a decent sound and I watched a show or two of theirs. While they did a number of their own original tunes, the biggest crowd pleaser (and our favorite) [...]
I Bleed For Captain America
July 3, 2008 – 1:26 pm
My buddy Rob just tipped me off to almost the perfect contest for me. Every year at San Diego Comic Con, there’s a huge blood donor drive. And this year, anyone donating blood will get the chance to enter a raffle to win a Captain America-painted Honda Element! I’ll let that sink in. Here, this’ll [...]
Newsarama gets a facelift
July 2, 2008 – 1:36 pm
Newsarama’s certainly been on the front lines for years in terms of getting the scoop on comic news, but to be honest, the site was really stale for a really long time. Not that there were really any other great sites to compare it to. It was basic, straight-forward and pretty much a glorified message [...]
Tales of Suspense Movie!
May 13, 2008 – 4:03 pm
I’ve already seen “Iron Man” in theaters and totally loved it. Just an all-around damn fun movie. But this isn’t a review of the flick. Instead, it’s pointing out something that I missed the first time I saw the movie. And something I will definitely be looking for the next time I watch it!
I’m not [...]
Watchmen Movie Soundtrack
April 15, 2008 – 1:08 pm
No, nothing official’s been announced, and chances are not many fans would even care about a soundtrack to a Watchmen movie. Heck, they may just choose to go with an orchestral score for all I know. But I rattled my brain and thought of what would make the perfect soundtrack to a Watchmen movie, keeping [...]
Who Watches the Watchnuts?
April 1, 2008 – 1:47 pm
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 [...]
