I'm tired of all the pain..

Cracked.com helps you understand what you need to do to not just survive a fight with 20 children, but win!

You know you should be glad..

A collection of unnecessarily sexy and often confusingly awesome Spider-Man covers from Mexico.

(I should warn that the rest of that blog is pretty NSFW.)

Comin' down fast..

This is an old one, but there are always new people showing up around these parts, and I need them to understand that I love The Flash.

Let me introduce you..

I mean, I did it.
Why shouldn't you?

Life with Little Iron Man : Part 1

This was a button for my movie that came out!
Did you see it?
Boy, I must've seen it 3 times!

If I knew back then..

This one is just for special guy, Sean George.
DJ Danny Diggz - Jackin' Jay-Z (Wonderwall Mash)

Process information..

Man, I just don't know what to make of this game.

I'll make breakfast..

These guys live at my house now.

I've seen dogs do that..

Never let it be said that I am afraid to jump on a bandwagon.
faceyourmanga.com

I got tired of the heart attacks..

Superboy Prime cracks me up.
Read the preview of Final Crisis : Legion of Three Worlds over at Newsarama.
Also, feel free to enjoy the Wikiquote entry for ol' SBP.

Don't believe me if I tell ya..

Did I say basically?

I meant unbelievably awesome.

Look at all the change we made..

Comics?
Basically awesome.

The color of a lonely heart..

Curt just sent me the most depressing e-mail ever..

you know how mark waid is doing the incredibles comic for boom studios?

imagine if wieringo was drawing it

:(


Then I had to frantically search for this sketch I remembered having seen Mike do way back when.

That the comic Curt has described can never come to pass is unbelieveably sad.

Back to work..

- April took this awesome Polaroid. I don't know what it is about it, but it blows me away. I don't understand Tumblr (why does everyone hate "e" now?), but she's got other pictures on there as well.

- Funnybook Babylon is Downcounting Backwards.

- I'm going to buy this shirt. Or, by all means, feel free to buy it for me since my birthday is in about a month. Size small.

- Kinda makes me wish all of Scott Pilgrim was in color.

- Jason is completely awesome at coming up with things that look cool enough that I wish they existed. I'd ride that thing everywhere forever.

- The Quiet Art of Cartooning.

I'm further and further..

So, I guess it's pretty in fashion to rip on Alex Ross as of late, but this looks awesome to me.

I do not believe that I am wrong in this feeling.

She loves me now..

Today's theme song : 1000 Miles Per Hour by OK Go

But you know I just ain't the type..

- Grant Morrison has pitched All Star Superman as a movie. Well, I mean, sorta.

- Grant Morrison! Interviewed on a boat!

- Geoff Johns writes a Supergirl I like! Gary Frank makes it all look fantastic!

- Rick Astley is James Bond! I've already got my ticket.. and a new wallpaper.

- More on the new Red Sonja!

- More on the animated Wonder Woman movie!

- As awesome a comic list as there is likely to be!

Where should I start..

In an effort to help you understand and come to know me better I'd like to present this video to you.
I thought this show was awesome when I was a little dude.
I don't know what it tells you, but I am certain it tells you something.

that was so real..

This story is incredible.

Thank you again, Grant Morrison.

New Batman R.I.P. this week!

oh you've got me paralyzed..

Today's theme song : "Rocknrollworld" by AutoVaughn
Trust me, it's really good.

Don't know how to say this..

Iron Man might be a Skrull?

Seriously?

I'm supposed to care?

Dude, you know what my comic has?

My comic has 3 generations of Flashes trying to outrun Jack Kirby's version of Death chasing a bullet capable of killing a New God that's been fired backwards through time!

Yeah, Secret Invasion can basically suck it.

Is it because I lied when I was seventeen..

The image is not at all related, but this is probably my new favorite comic blog.

I'm a huge fan..

FINAL.

CRISIS.

NUMBER.

THREE.

TOMORROW!

Seein' is believin'..

Yeah, that's basically a wooden mecha.

This guy makes wooden sci-fi wonders.

Put your arms around me..

I need to make a phone call...

Cutest thing ever?

Got me lookin' so crazy right now..

Today's theme songs!

Sure Can Start.

Oh Well, Okay.

This place is a prison..

It's Robin, dude.

He's Batman's friend.

And he knew just what to do..

The Artist's Survival Kit.

We must learn about the past...

It ain't easy..

So, if you're a Threadless member (and why wouldn't you be?) why not go vote for my new slogan submission.

Please?

I need those hell of sweet Threadless dollars.

I'd give most anything..

I'm just spreading Dylan's message.

Oh, don't be shy..

Just updated Let's Be Friends Again.

Today's theme song is Heroes by Hot Leg.

It's a little silly, but it's fun and upbeat and I like it.

I think it could sorta be the theme song for my Responsible Adult = Secret Identity post.

Are you coming with me?

You'll have to click on it to see it for yourself, but Wizard has been "kind" enough to "help" those of us who weren't able to attend Comic-Con to get these exclusives by offering them to us at incredibly reasonable prices!

Like $50 for that Lobo that you can get for $25 directly from Mattel!

Or better yet, $70 for that King Grayskull that's $30 direct.

Oh, or even better yet, how about this special offer : Fuck you, Wizard.

I think it's safe..

Today's theme song : mc chris (feat. Andrew WK) - Never Give Up

No, we won't save you..

I made this wallpaper for that there new Batman cartoon I been going on about lately.

In our darkest hour..

Yes.

What a great cat..

This looks awesome to me.
I don't think I could be convinced otherwise.

Sit down to talk...

So awesome.

Check this out, as per Sean's request that I blog something good.

You're not one of them..

I don't know if you read my post titled "Responsible Adult = Secret Identity", but if you did, thank you.

If you haven't read it, by all means, feel free to do so. I'm not much of a writer, but I feel like it's one of the best things I've ever written and one of the most important things I've ever tried to explain.

My hope is that it is still accessible on a general comprehension level even if you don't know anything about superheroes.. but then, if you didn't know anything about superheroes, I doubt you'd be at my blog in the first place.

My point for writing this particular update though is to say if you do read it, please have a look at the comments as they gave me a chance to talk on the subject a little further and say some things that I didn't think about when I was writing the original post.

I can't believe I'm really here..

I got this guy at lunch today.

From the Transformers wiki :

Soundwave transforms into a Scion xB that got a "Pimp My Ride" music style treatment. That's awesome. He also comes with his partner Laserbeak, who changes from a guitar to a bird. Also awesome. In Soundwave's car mode, Laserbeak can mount on the top of his roof and perch onto Soundwave's arm in robot mode. Very awesome. And the tuning knobs are just the right size to fit in the screwholes on his arms, so he can look like he's strumming Laserbeak when in guitar form. Extremely awesome.

Responsible Adult = Secret Identity

I really like the idea that our responsibilities as adults are the suit and glasses we put on to fool the world, but underneath?

Oh, boy.

We're winking to the camera.

If they only knew.

The other thing is the few, select, special people that get to know the real us, who we are under the glasses (whether it be from us revealing our secret to them, or them somehow deducing it for themselves), those people get to be the people that are like the hero's hero.

Those are the people that believe in us.

The people that know what we're really capable of and have this incredible faith in us even when we've got our glasses on and are pretending to stumble trying to catch the elevator.

It's like people having faith in you makes you want to reward their faith in you by being what they believe you to be. Someone else having faith in you, believing in you, gives you the ability to go beyond what you are or what you think you are and be who they think you are.

And it's so easy when you're the person out there trying to save the day and make the world better, to get knocked down and dragged through the mud. The real you, though more capable and powerful, is unfortunately also more vulnerable to all the people and forces out there that don't want to believe or don't want others to believe. The you with the glasses on is able to blend in with the crowd and not be such a target. But I guess that's the price we have to pay for daring to dream of something better.

It's riskier.

It's scarier.

There are criminals and evil businessmen and monsters and giant robots from outer space all out there waiting to try to take you down a peg and be the one who beats you.

And not just out there doing evil things, but sometimes actively plotting against you while you're none the wiser. All kinds of traps and ambushes out there just waiting for us.

And yet, we have to not just endure it all, but persevere.

To not just find a way to survive, but to come out on top and be ready to jump headlong into the next adventure.

It seems like it's too much to ask of anyone. It seems like it's more than anyone should be able to do.

And maybe it is.

Maybe it is too much for anyone to do, but to think that there are people who believe we are capable of it, I think, is what gives us the ability to do so.

Awoken by a cloud of steam..

This is where I saw The Dark Knight for the second time.

It's only a few doors down from Mike Deatherage's office.

The only take cash (or checks) and on Saturdays showtimes are at 2:00pm and 7:30pm.

For when I think I'm most resolved..

Like it matters to him..

Best name ever?

Yes.

I took this picture with my phone in the small town of Highland, AR.

But life still goes on..

Happy Birthday, Sean!

As a birthday gift to you, I've chosen not to post some of the more.. questionable pictures of the two of us.

You're welcome.

Anyone can see..

Grant Morrison : Imagine a Japanese Justice League made up of Ultraman, Astro Boy, Marine Boy, Gigantor etc fighting Godzilla and Mothra...

I will, Grant.
I will imagine that right now.
I will imagine that right now, and I may never return.

This is for you..

This was also my exact reaction.
