Hopeless and Larocca have Cable on the run in new MARVEL NOW! title.
Goddamn Nate Summers. Homeboy is always, always, always on the run. Seems that ain’t changing at all during Marvel NOW!
Video: DEADPOOL goes ‘GANGNAM STYLE’
If seeing Deadpool rocking out with strangers to Gangnam Style can’t power you through the rest of the week, I don’t know what can. I will openly week for your decaying soul.
DC doesn’t confirm SCOTT SNYDER doing ‘MAN OF STEEL’ COMIC. Pretty do confirm it.
One of those stalwart manners for cross-promoting a comic book and a funny rag movie is to get yourself a tie-in comic. Usually that sort of thing makes me puke chunks. Little corn-filled chunks, from them corn and beans empanadas that I pound before power lifting. Maybe this next one from DC will be different, though. They haven’t confirmed it, but word on the corporate-synergy-market-everything-into-paste vine is that Scotty Snyder will be helming a Man of Steel comic.
SUPERMAN fans are campaigning to get Kansas city renamed Smallville. Solidarity.
I can’t imagine being as passionate as these people. They’re like, totally, totally, totally itching to get a Kansas city renamed Smallville. Superman is fake, yo. I dig him too, but I have better (okay, not much better) things to do than start a campaign. Although, if it could boost the economy of the town for the people…okay. Godspeed.
When is ‘PROPHET’ too much ‘PROPHET’? Never.
Man, I got myself that throbbing tip for the Brandon Graham and company Prophet. Despite owning all the single-issues, I went and snagged myself the first collection. $10.00? All in one tidy place? Fuck bills, buy comics. Ripping open that Amazon box, I was all kid like and shit, as if I hadn’t read the series already. Fantastic.
MARK MILLAR and other good souls take down an online bully douche.
Despite being woefully offensive in his comic blatherings, Mark Millar seems to be quite the solid dude. He recently joined forces with the Power of the Internet to fell some malicious online douchebag.
Superman and Lois may NEVER date now? Oh New 52. You Funny.
Doesn’t matter that it has been nearly a year, the New 52 continues to entertain. You know, with its opaque canon. With its head-scratching decisions. One of those decisions being to send the DCU’s trajectory full Kingdom Come.
Affleck ain’t directing ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE’, but WACHOWSKIS are now rumored.
Ben Affleck isn’t doing the Justice League movie. He shot down those rumors, informing everyone that it was “way too hahd” before putting on his Red Sox hat and driving to Fenway Pahk. (I can make these jokes, I’m a Bostonian. No, I don’t care that they’re not funny.) Now Warner Bros. is casting their eyes at the Wachowskis and batting them innocently.
Geoff Johns and David Finch team up for new ‘JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’ series. Moar team books! Forever!
DC is apparently becoming hip to something Marvel unfortunately figured out years ago. If you sell like thirteen Super Mega Team! books, you’ll make more money.
Omega-Level Weekend at FanExpo Toronto – The Concise Preamble Summary
There’s a story behind every line, but maybe the imagination can cook up funnier shit than the truth (this will be difficult, I assure you). It was a pleasure to host OL in Toronto, and I’m already looking forward to the next con weekend that OL tears up.
