SHIA LABEOUF short-film rips off DANIEL CLOWES. Gets caught, apologizes. Still a douche.
Shia LaBeouf has come off like a pretentious turd-sucking asshole for a while now, so I’m glad to see it all coming to a head. LeDouche ripped off a Daniel Clowes comic from 2007 for some shitty pretentious short flick of his. Somehow he didn’t think he would get caught. He did. Best part? His “apology” sucks just as much as the rest of his career. Existence.
Comic book direct market sales went up 9.33% in November. THRIVING COMICS, Yo.
I’m not some sort of analyst. Of any kind. So I don’t know what to make of the fact that comics’ direct market sales went up almost 9.5% in November. Other than a “Hee-yay!, comic books as an industry are doing better!” I mean, they very well could not be. I don’t know. So presented without any actual thought is the following information.
Stunning BATMAN GRAFFITI found in abandoned building. Exploring++
This is gnarly. A redditor and his girlfriend from Belgium thought they were just going to do some run-of-the-mill urban exploring. You know, finding their way into some abandoned building. Cut themselves. Get tetanus. Probably die. However, they did one better than dying from a rusty spoon in some burned down shack. The couple stumbled across some gorgeous Batman graffiti.
Gorgeous art imagines MEDIEVAL X-MEN as “The Order of X.”
Been a hot minute since I posted some gorgeous artwork. Artist Nate Hallinan has imagined our favorite band of muties as a gaggle of Medieval warriors. Led by none other than Lord Xavier, with a sexy as fuck beard.
MAGNETO snagging his own series next March. Synergy ++
If a comic book movie comes out, and a character from it doesn’t get their own monthly on-going series, does the tree make a sound? Well — well? Does it?
Watch: RAFAEL GRAMPA’S art gets animated for NIKE ‘DARE TO BE BRAZILIAN’ ad
Rafael Grampa’s art gets the animated treatment in this Brazilian Nike advertisement for soccer. Or football. Or futbol.
Whatever. It’s awesome.
The awesomest shit you’ll see today. Unless you saw the tears of the spectre-dragon that haunts the Dark Side of the Moon. Like I did. On my message board. Still though. This is close.
CHUCK PALAHNIUK gives ‘FIGHT CLUB’ SEQUEL DETAILS. Ergh.
I was torn about covering this. I don’t really want to acknowledge that a sequel to Fight Club is happening. But it is. And as such, I feel I owe it to the peoples here (many Fight Club fans) a venue to discuss the news. So uh.
Yeah. Here it is!
WARREN ELLIS is relaunching ‘MOON KNIGHT’, hanging out in NYC with the character.
I’m going to buy this Moon Knight by my master. Don’t get me wrong. The problem is that every time there is a new Marvel title announced by Ellis I (perhaps irrationally) hold the development responsible. Responsible for what? Getting in the way of my fucking Doktor Sleepless. Yeah I know there is probably not correlation. I know! Leave me alone.
DC wins the FINAL APPEAL in the case of SUPERMAN RIGHTS
It appears that DC is inching closer (if they haven’t closed the case already) towards completely subsuming the Superman rights into their bulging corpus. Latest in a long line of appeals and whatever stuff has ruled in favor of The Man.
Hayao Miyazaki DRAWING SAMURAI MANGA. Retirement is for punks!
Hayao Miyazaki may be retiring from the whole beautiful-animated-film game, but that dude isn’t just going to sit around on his ass. Playing with his gorgeous beard. Naw. Not even. Dude is getting into the manga drawing game. Makes me feel lazy as fuck!
