It's good to know..

And now for something I'd like to call, "A Single Image Illustrating Why You Should Be Reading The Punisher".


The Punisher #11
Writer - Rick Remender
Artist - Tony Moore

Looks pretty crazy, right?
Well, all you need to know is this comic takes place mere moments after the events of Dark Reign : The List - The Punisher. In that comic, Wolverine's evil son, Daken or (sigh) Dark Wolverine if you prefer, cut The Punisher to pieces. Literally. Arms cut off. Beheaded. The whole deal. He then proceeded to toss the assorted severed bits into an open sewer. The pieces of the former Punisher were collected by monsters and taken to a vampire scientist (he's a scientist who is a vampire, not a scientist in the field of vampire) who put Frank back together a la Frankenstein's monster.
After he awakens (and goes on a short rampage), the vampire scientist asks..



THIS COMIC IS BEYOND AWESOME!
I mean, what a great response. This guy lives in a world with rock monsters and rubber guys and spider men and aliens in capes and he was just been brought back from the dead. If you were The Punisher I think there'd just have to be a point where you'd go, "Yeah, you know what? Fuck it. What else can happen?"

Now I know..

And now for what I like to call, "A Series of Images Illustrating Why You Should Be Reading Daredevil".


Daredevil #501
Writer - Andy Diggle
Artist - Robert De La Torre

There's a reason Evan is my favorite "Doc" after The Doctor.

A little Lego Stormtrooper going all John Woo with two blasters is almost as awesome as Darth Vader shredding a tasty solo on some kind of lightsaber guitar.

I've got two of these jokers. I bought this one in a cheap auction with a bunch of other junk on eBay a few years back. I'd like to paint over that mark on his chin, but I am afraid I will ruin it if I try.

We're back from the dead..

If you didn't understand that comic we did about The Third Man because you'd never seen the movie, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!

Amazon has the superb Criterion Collection releases of the film on Blu-Ray for $15.99 and on 2-Disc DVD for $16.49 for a very limited time.

Seriously, buy this movie, it is a masterpiece.

We love tourists..

Since you are here reading my blog, it occurs to me that we might have similar tastes, so here are some of the DVDs coming out this week that were of interest to me. Click on any of them for more info.
