Climbing the walls.

This just in, Nintendo > Sony.
Noted commentator Chris Haley was quoted as telling Sony to, "Suck it."

It's not a Rubik's cube.

Just so you know, today is Harrison Ford's birthday.


Happy birthday to the only guy (I can think of) that was cool enough to play not one, but two of the greatest fictional characters of all time.

Repulsor rays!

Here's a sketch of Iron Man by Eric Canete that I threw some quick colors on just to take a break from what I'm usually doing at work.
I'm really looking forward to his upcoming Iron Man book with Joe Casey.

That was like a wave.

It's the Guitar Hero 3 "Wii-tar"!
Exciting!
It seems to be modeled after a Gibson Les Paul, which makes sense since Activision's got that deal going with Gibson.
Also, don't forget that Guitar Hero Encore : Rocks the 80s is due out at the end of the month, so if anyone has the necessary space and giant screen tee-vee and is interested in hosting a party the first weekend in August get in touch with me.

Life is way harder than that.

So, no internet at home plus lots to do at work equals a lack of updates to the old blog.
Well, that plus the fact that I haven't really had much to add as of late.
Nothing in the world of comics has outraged or over-delighted me.
I've got some things on the burner though which should be ready sooner than later.

The majority of my artistic energy (as it is) lately have been going towards a new comic Curt wrote.
I'll go ahead and tell you it's absolutely hilarious.
We're hoping to have it done in time to take with us to SDCC.

You're runnin' away!

Speaking of The Flash, as I was two posts back, Tom Foss has got a great write up on Bart Allen's death as well as a great way to bring him back.
Nice job, Tom.

Put the entire squad on red alert!

From this week's All Star Superman #8..

Is it wrong that I wish my hair looked exactly like that?

Is it because I'm very young?

So, how'd you like to hear about something that's made me really mad at myself?
Good, because I'm in a mood to talk about it.
Check out these two pictures of The Flash by Jason Latour..




Awesome, right?
Well, here's the deal, Jason did both of those for me. This was 2-4 years ago. He mailed them to me along with a great mini-comic he'd done. You can imagine how excited I was to have these.
Somehow I've managed to have no idea where they are.
I mean, I know they have to be in the house somewhere, but I can't find them for the life of me.
This makes me literally angry with rage.

In the news...

Does this make anyone else crazy?
I mean, is it just me?
I'm not saying that what this guy did necessarily did or didn't deserve a lengthy penetentiary vacation, I'm just saying can't someone call fucking "shenanigans" on the Dubya yet?
I mean, come on.

Sorry, I'll try to get back to talking about comics shortly.

UPDATE
Jon Morris has a great post about it up as well.

What kind of one way street is that?

So Marvel's burying Captain America in Arlington in tomorrow's issue of Fallen Son : The Death of Captain America, and for some reason all of the news outlets are covering it like it's real news.
I got them covering him being killed, but isn't a burial in a cemetary pretty much what happens next?
I dunno.
All of this to post this quote from the good Captain..

"This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences.When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—No. You move.”

Pretty powerful, huh?

Let me just yank that sword out of me..

An avalanche of absolute awesomery!
The Kirby DC Kover Kollection!

The first images from the upcoming Superman Doomsday DVD have been released.
Look for this to be hitting stores on September 18 (a scant day after my birthday), though I hope to get to see the sneak preview premiere in San Diego.

Roll out!

Click here for the official NEW Transformers theme from the flick, by Mute Math. (Wait for the page to fully download and then there'll be a little link that says "Download File")
I dig it. I mean, it's not the Lion version from Transformers : The Movie, but it's not bad.
If you're still hungry for more Transformers, Animated Toast! has 7 different versions of the theme, including the previously mentioned Lion version.

Something evil's watching over you...

So, I saw a sneak preview of TRANSFORMERS last night.
I'm not sure if I want to write any kind of review, but I wanted to at least mention that I've seen it.
And I have opinions.

UPDATE
Speaking of movies, Robert of Ye Olde Comic Blogge has a great new post up about comics and movies and the state of both.
You should read it.

Every night is the last night.

So, I know I'm late, but here's my quick reviews of some of last week's comics.


Flash v.4 #13 - Winner of the "Worst comic I've read since the last issue of All Star Batman" award. This issue, as was the case with the 12 issues before it, stars a character DC tells us is "Bart Allen", but who is not Bart Allen by any stretch of the imagination. I have every issue of Impulse and Young Justice, I know what I'm talking about. This issue differs from the previous 12 though, because they kill this character they claim is "Bart". This would have really upset me if the character that died was the Bart Allen we've known for all those years prior to Infinite Crisis (aka "Psshh! Man, fuck Young Justice!" as Mr. Didio calls it).
By amazing coincidence, this happens at the same time that the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America and the Legion of Super-Heroes of America are over in JLA #10 bringing back Wally West.
I'm more than happy to have Wally back, but that's because he never should have been taken away from us in the first place.


Justice League of America #10 -
Your first assignment for Clusterfuck 101 : Write an issue of JLA.
Due date : Whenever you get around to it.
Extra credit : Get Michael Turner to create another artistic abomination for the cover.


Countdown 45 - With a cover like that you'd think some really awesome stuff happens in this issue.
You'd be wrong.


Captain America #27 - Who knew Bucky was going to grow up to be such a badass? Godspeed on your mission to kill Tony Stark since the big, bad, scary, super-angry, Green King version of the Hulk couldn't get the job done.
Also, Buck, nice job on nailing Black Widow. All the better if it was while she was involved with Tony.


Incredible Hulk #107 - This ish was definitely a better read than the first issue of World War Hulk #1, and I'm really glad to see Marvel show that there would be people on the Hulk's side.


Iron Man #19 - I just liked this cover.


Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four #3 - I think there were 4 or 5 books with Spider-Man in them last week, and this was the only one you should bother reading. There's really only one thing to complain about with this book, and it's the same complaint I have with Jeff Smith's Shazam, and that's that it's going to be over after only 4 issues.


The Spirit #7 - You don't really need me to tell you this is good, do you?

How do you do it?

That's an old line.

If you like candy, what is your favorite kind and why?

What you need is a rocket..

1) I just found out I must buy this game.

2) Enjoy these new pictures from The Dark Knight (aka Batman Continues to Begin/Batman Won't Stop Beginning/Batman Keeps On Keepin' On).

You'll notice Batman can now move his head from side to side and up & down.

And here's the new "Bat-cycle".

My review of Countdown 46.

Congratulations to DC Comics, Paul Dini, Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray, and anyone else that was involved with the grossest line of dialogue I've read in a long, long time...


So, "made of stillborn babies" monster is saying that not only is he going to eat Mary Marvel/Black Mary's skin, but he's going to suck the shit out of her intestines and then eat said poop. Dubya. Tee. Eff.

Between Luke Cage's infamous "FOOM!" and this, comics are really for the whole family in 2007.
