He double majored in philosophy & drama..


Via Super Punch.

Does anyone else see this and feel like we are tantalizingly close to Kaneda's motorcycle becoming a reality?

Oh, wait, nevermind. Someone in Japan has already made one.
In fact, apparently a LOT of people have.
It is now my feeling that Ferrari is trying to rip off Kaneda's motorcycle.

So cool in that new Camaro..

Like some kind of revenge missile.
Okay, so Terence Stamp is my hero.
You'd think being General Zod would be enough, but he's also written three memoirs, a novel, and a cookbook.

Plus he was mentioned in the Kinks song, Waterloo Sunset.

The message is clear..

It made you, it made me..


- Original pencils for part of a chrishaley/Big*Red*Robot collaboration project.

- Someone found my blog by searching for "Boner Man Costume". I kid you not.
I am completely uncertain as to how I should feel about this.
Is this person planning on making a "Boner Man" costume for Halloween? If so, how can I insure that they send me pictures of said costume to post here?

- Two posts ago, I presented my review of Hulk #6, and apparently some people were not aware I employed some Photoshoppery to have the Hulk himself sum up my opinion of the issue.
It was supposed to be.. what do you call it.. funny.
I'll try to be more blatant with my "humor" next time.

Lightning shot from the sky..


All I'm trying to say is that is a fine looking movie poster.

Every other day is a kick in the shins..


I did it again last night..


Circa 2002-03

Those of you who've known me long enough (or have been coming around this particular part of the internet long enough) will know I'll always have a special place for this guy (Butch Walker if you're not familiar), but I think this guy has basically got him pegged cold.

What'cha want?


This is the one I've been waiting to bid on in the big Save the Superman house ebay auctions.
I guess what I'm trying to say is please, please don't outbid me on this.
The other thing I guess I'm trying to say is if the bidding for this thing starts getting out of hand, I'm going to start begging to borrow money.
Just wanted to give you some warning.

I wore a jumpsuit..


I've always been against goofy ringtones and whatnot, but for some reason I've had it stuck in my head lately that I want, nay, need to download a song to be the ringtone for my cellular phone.
Why is this?
What do you make of this?

Monday, September 22, 2008

If you havin' girl problems, I feel bad for you son..


I got 99 problems, but havin' nine-hundred and ninety-nine dollars ain't one.
So who wants to help me buy one of these?

To the top of the pops..


Look, I'll do real content when I feel like it, the thing I want to say now is that I cannot wait for this cartoon.

You were at his house..


April is basically awesome at coloring.
Go check it out.

You maybe can't imagine..


From Benjamin Birdie via CBR : Morrison and Quitely told what is in many ways the ultimate Superman story. It shows us what he stands for in every moral degree. It shows us the world he fights for in every level of detail. It is an exacting, inspiring, and poignant accomplishment in the realm of Superhero comics. Almost fable-like in its directness and simplicity at times, but as emotionally in depth as any contemporary work of literary fiction. “All Star Superman” is, in its primary intent, “just” a Superhero comic. But like its subject, it has landed in a medium not completely prepared for how remarkable it could be, and thus has irrevocably changed it for the better.

The best birthday present ever.

I wish I could explain to you how incredible this last issue of All Star Superman is.
The title of this, the last chapter of the greatest Superman story ever was "SUPERMAN IN EXCELSIS".
Every time I read those words it makes my eyes well up.


It really felt like that comic was a birthday present just for me from Grant Morrison and Superman.
And not just A birthday present, but the best birthday present I could possibly receive.. which is (of course) the kind of birthday present Superman would give you.

I'm getting all silly and worked up about it.. and I don't mean to, as I'm sure there's only so much a person can take of me getting excited and ridiculous and hopeful over a comic, but I mean, it was as though everything in it was there to make me feel not just like the glass is half full, but that the glass is all full. 
And not just that the glass is all full, but that things being "glass all full" all the time is possible.. that ANYTHING is possible if we're willing to run and stumble and fall and rise to the challenge.

And, it's like, you don't need the whole story, or even whole pages, or any kind of context in some cases and it's like.. just single panels are unbelievable and say so, so much.
It's like the more times I read it, the more powerful it all becomes.
From Jon Morris : "Superman's dearest friends represent everything he loves about humanity: Perry White is the dogged pursuit of unfettered truth, Lois Lane is love and passion, Jimmy Olsen is integrity and daring, Cat Lombard is - as her namesake implies - the satisfaction with the temporal world and Steve Lombard - god bless Steve Lombard, falling to his knees in the middle of the apocalypse to beat back to life the dead heart of a man he spent every waking moment of his own life terrorizing and belittling - is that unchecked sentimentality that we hide behind pride and arrogance."

I don't think I'll ever forget these words as long as I live..
All Star Superman #12 - The choice is simple.

You can spend my money..

The answer is at a strip club.So, the question immediately becomes, "Where can I find a stripper to befriend who is willing to be Robin for Halloween?"

Wednesday, September 17, 2008

They all played games..

Today is my birthday.
April made this flyer for the party being thrown for me this Saturday.

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

I'm waiting...


Thanks to eBay, we've been blessed with an early look at the cover to FINAL CRISIS : SUPERMAN BEYOND 3-D #2!

Get on your way..

You heard my pal..


Has ever an image so thoroughly encapsulated the entirety of my being?

Nothing gets so bad..


How could anyone not want this shirt?

There's no surprise..


A look at the goodies in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 20th Anniversary Edition DVD Set due out on October 28.

It can't be denied..

Not getting political at all here, but watching this video of a doddering old man struggling to string together a coherent sentence that even remotely resembles an answer to the questions he's been asked makes me really sad.
I am NOT trying to be insulting or make fun of him.
I'm serious, it makes me sad. It makes me feel bad for him to see a local news guy have him twisting in the wind like that.
I don't know the guy or anything, but he doesn't seem like a bad person and I certainly respect what he's been through for our country, so don't misunderstand me, I am sincerely not trying to be rude or disrespectful.
I am just sad for him and for our country if we elect this man.
More information on the factual errors in his answers in this interview can be found here.

His backpack has jets..


Yes.
Just yes.
No matter what happens with the LHC or the election, this is a fine time to be alive.
This is proof that the terrorists did not win.

Is he strong?

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 9!
It's Spider-Time!

Presented CHRONOLOGICALLY for your pleasure!











Titans Together!

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 8!




I love nostalgia as much as the next guy, but the newer version totally kicks that older one's ass.

All lines to the living...

Via Newsarama : "More specifically Bendis went on to say the post-Invasion Marvel Universe will feature a complete change in his Avengers family of titles, including Bendis leaving Mighty Avengers with issue #20 and the launch of a new title Dark Avengers, with art by Mike Deodato."


Via my brain : "HAHAHAHA!"
Even moreso after reading this rather intelligent proposal to get comics back to the glory days. And I don't mean the 90s.

Steel cable! Just what I need!

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 7!
Wednesday is Flash Day!








Tuesday, September 09, 2008

I don't care what you call me..

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 6!


I have absolutely no recollection of that one at all.
I'm enjoying it now though.

These I remember all too well though.





Haven't seen you in a while..

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 5!
Now we're talking.










Should you need it here are two more Batman cartoon intros : 1977 and 1985(?).

And finally, one of the greatest things I've ever posted :
The Best Part of Batman & Robin

Never forget..

I've been doing some research, and it turns out something like 80% of all the cool websites about comics are all by the same guy.

That guy's name is Rob.
Just when I think I've seen all the sites about Aquaman or Slurpee Cups this guy could possibly come up with, some other site will link to something that links to somewhere that will invariably lead me to some undiscovered (by me) site of Rob's that's basically about something I love.
Today I discovered his shrine to the digest sized comics of my childhood.
I absolutely love these old digests because much of the groundwork for all of my knowledge of the superheroes and comics I love today was laid by these inexpensive little collections relatives would buy for me at the grocery store or Walgreen's on the way out of town to read in the car.
Was that a ridiculous run-on sentence? Yes, it was. Sorry.
These little collections contain some of the earliest stories I ever remember reading of my favorite 4-Color Champions.
I actually had the one pictured here and I remember having no idea what was going on in most of it, but I knew that the ideas being put forth were obviously pretty awesome.
And after reading Final Crisis : Superman Beyond 3D #1, I think Grant may have thought the same thing.

They hunted mammoth as well..

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 4!


Boy, I guess this one could really go either way couldn't it?
Has a nice grand feel to it, but doesn't seem especially mighty does it?
Personally, I'd rather see them take the Thor movie in this direction though..


Awesome, right?
Maybe Marvel can get Dethklok to do the soundtrack.
Couldn't be any worse than this.

Monday, September 08, 2008

Right back where we started from..

Bottle Rocket.
Criterion.
Finally.
Life just got a little better.

Take me down..


I saw just now that Super Punch linked to this picture yesterday, and though it is awesome, the real reason I decided to post about it is because I SAW A DELOREAN ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY!

FOR REAL!
Dude was all drivin' hella fast like he had somewhere to be.
It was pretty much as awesome as you would have hoped for it to be.

Gone upstairs?

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 3!


Probably best they didn't use this song for that new Hulk movie.

They should be going..

Superhero Video Posting Week : Part 2!


Wouldn't that Iron Man movie have been just a little better if this had been the theme song?

I guess there's always a chance they could use it in the sequel.
The only question now is who can we get to sing it...

Sunday, September 07, 2008

They won't take offense..


Politics are fun (and funny) but let's not forget, this is what I'm really all about.


I'm sure there will be plenty of my usual posts this week as well, but I'm officially making this "Superhero Video Posting Week".

Friday, September 05, 2008

I imagine..


I seriously just don't understand how some of these people are able to live with themselves and contradict themselves in such a manner.
Mind-blowing.

Time is flying like an arrow..

When April and I team up, good things happen.

I drew this and then she colored it digitally.
Little Iron Man is basically a big part of our lives every day.
All of our future collabs should be signatured CASH. 
You know, because you can make the word "cash" out of our initials.
That's the real reason I thought of it.
Someone needs to design us a cool "CASH" signature logo that is not the Johnny Cash one.
I want cool logos for all of my collaborations with awesome people.
This is me looking at you Dylan.
(I'm only half-serious though, as I know Dylan is a very busy dude.)

Speaking of awesome people, why aren't all of you guys updating your blogs right now too?
Get to it!

Thursday, September 04, 2008

They say it's gonna snow..

All space-dancing.. in space. You know, flying around all covered in green-ness. Makin' big boxing gloves and what-not.

Does this look like the kind of Green Lantern you'd go to the theater to see a movie about?
More pictures and info here.

Please don't take..

Life with Little Iron Man : Part 3

Apparently The Punisher is adamant in his insistence that whoever is helping Little Iron Man with the sunglasses continues to do so.

Check out these awesome sunglasses I found on the floor at the comic store!
Don't worry though, I didn't keep 'em. I turned them in like you're supposed to do. :)

There's a time for us..


I feel like the list they put forth is pretty much right on the money.
Also, if you're the type of person who's reading this and cares enough about comics and The Flash to click on the link and read that list, be sure to read the comments section too.

To go along with this post, I have two thematically/titularly* related songs for you to enjoy:

* = I am told that this is a real word.

Who'd believe for all the world..


Superman's Eyes : Not just for lasers anymore.

Funnybook Babylon has put up a fantastic annotation of Final Crisis : Superman Beyond 3D #1.
Grant Morrison + Comics + People with better memories and more free time than me + Internet = Best Combo Ever*
(*Alt. answer = Entire evening vanished)

They arrested the counterfeiters..


Craig Ferguson speaks from the heart.
My thanks to Dean Fraser for bringing this to my attention.
Funny and sincere is a rare thing on late night television (or any television these days), and I really enjoyed this.

Life with Little Iron Man : Part 2

This kid is a lifetime member of the Bun & Fun Club.
Sometimes when I'm doing superhero stuff I get really thirsty!

They took everything..


Dummypress.com is the newly started website/artist community of a friend of mine's boyfriend.
That sentence is a little convoluted, but I know that a number of you enjoy printing/ed things and good design.
Therefore, I'm insisting you check it out.

Wednesday, August 27, 2008

It's never been like that..

Your cosmic armor is no match for my eternal power!

Do any other comics even need to exist?
Not this week they don't.

Go out and tell the society..


Curt has gone to great lengths to help you understand how much better America is than everywhere else.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

You know I'd be the king..


I cannot wait to watch Captain Cold eat this guy alive.
Not literally, of course.

Just to get you through..


Let's Be Friends Again!

The places I know..


Yeah, I gotta say, as much as I love Star Wars, the less I know about "Jedi Jelly" the better.

Monday, August 25, 2008

You sleepyhead..


I have the sickest form ever.


I am basically the winner.


This means I am better than the other people with whom I was in competition.
