COMIXOLOGY: Offering 100 self-published books for $10.
How is this for a fucking deal, you chumps? CoMiXoLoGy (who has the most annoying spelling since NiGHTS: Into Dreams) is offering 100 self-published comics for a cool $10. Save that money you’re spending on genitals salve and fistfuls of Laffy Taffy. We’re talking fucking Becky Cloonan and shit!
Korean actress Kim Soo Hyun cast in ‘AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON.’
I am not familiar with Kim Soo Hyun, but soon all the fanboys in the world such as myself shall be quite acquainted. The actress has been cast in Avengers 2: Age of James Spade. And more interestingly, Marvel ain’t talking about her role. MUCH INTRIGUE.
JAMES STOKOE’S cover for ‘What If? Age of Ultron’ #2 is Typical Stokeian InsaniGlory.
James Stokoe has the sort of mind I’m fucking jealous of, man. Not to mention his goddamn talent. His ability to conceive of such outrageous concepts (Orc Stain) and execute gorgeous artwork (His enormous Galactus from a couple of years back) is fucking staggering. Woe be to someone like me, rife with grammar errors and cheap dick jokes. So it should be no surprise that his cover for What If? Age of Baddy-Guy Event #2 has me willing to prostrate myself before him. Pour Campbell’s Chunky Stew on my head and make me fetch the paper! I’m down with it. (Huh?)
Hit the jump for the glory. Steel yourself tho, you’re not worthy.
Harlan Ellison’s classic ‘STAR TREK’ SCRIPT getting COMIC
Way back before Star Trek was known for cheap tit-shots and Benjamin Cucumber playing a monotone piece of disaster fanservice, it was known for its thoughts, its ability to interrogate society, offer new ideas, often from some great voices. One of those voices was Harlan Ellison, whose classic Star Trek script is getting the comic book treatment.
Watch: 3-MINUTE ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER’ clip is ASSAULTY GOODNESS
I’m not watching this clip. Intentionally. The Captain America: The Winter Soldier hype-train is about to kick it up into insane-overdrive with the movie less than a month away. I get it. However I’d like to leave some sacred ground for my first viewing. HOWEVER SHARING IS CARING unless it’s herpes than it’s crying like masturbating but hey live and learn. So if you’re interested, hit the jump.
Marvel promoting ‘ORIGINAL SIN’ by giving out eyeballs.
Here’s a promotion for you. In an effort to promote their mini-series-mega-time-event Original Sin, Marvel is giving out eyeballs. Word, eyeballs. Pop into your LCS, grab some funny books. Snag an eyeball. Bounce it down the street while yelling “THEY HARDLY EVEN RESISTED!”
Buy These Flippin’ Comics!!! (3.05.14) – Dead Moon Knight
Saddle up, my caballeros, buccaneers, brigands, and thieves. It’s Wednesday, the day the nation’s geeks, the true geeks mind you – not those Box Office Geeks who say they liked Superman when they were a kid as they stand outside waiting for the Sunday matinee of Man of Steel – ahem – the day the dyed-in-the-wool geeks come out en masse, raiding the local comic shops for the newest bounty. There was a time, young readers, when not knowing what to expect from the LCS was just a given fact. Thanks to the wondrous gift of technology, we are blessed with foresight. We can know the unknown. I’m here to break down some of the best and brightest booty to get your grubby mitts on, so sit down, buckle in, and push that little red button in the center console that says “BTFC.” Let’s talk comics, people.

FIONA STAPLES’ first Marvel work is ‘MILES MORALES: ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN’ #1’ cover. So good.
Fiona Staples. The artist that started off righteous on Saga and has only gotten better. She’s now dropping some hot Marvel goodness for the first time in the form of a cover for Miles Morales: Long Title. Exciting to see her in the Marvel flock. Even more exciting to ingest this gorgeous artwork.
Hit the jump for the full cover.
‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER’ TV Spot: Winter Soldier is crapping on Fury’s Life
Truthfully, I’m at work. So I managed to watch like nine seconds of this before I had to turn it off. Sound issues and all that fucking jumbo donkey feces. But I did manage to see Fury being like LOLWTF I’M ABOUT TO GET FUCKED. And then Winter Soldier is like BURN BRO.
It seems neat.
Sean Murphy’s cover returns us to the ‘REIGN OF SUPERMEN.’
This is the difference between being young, bright-eyed, idealistic, and old, fat, and cynical. When I was a youngin’, the Reign of Supermen was fucking awesome. If it happened now, I’d spit on the ground and curse the Powers That Be like a loser. Sean Murphy’s recently revealed cover is able to temporarily recuperate my broken spirit. Calling me back to the olden days.
