Cosplay: WONDER WOMAN strikes a victory pose.

Wonder Woman.

Here is a pretty gnarly picture of Wonder Woman striking a pose in the culling plains. I actually don’t know if anybody was culled in this plains, but I mean. C’mon. Huge sword buried in the ground. An Amazonian princess. Makes sense to me.

FEIGE SAYS: MARVEL has MOVIES PLANNED THROUGH 2021. Aiight.

The man with the plan. The long fucking plan.

When I first came across this story, the headlines were sexier than the actual nougat. Why does the nougat never taste as delicious on my tongue-tip? Eh?

FIONA STAPLES cuts GORGEOUS ART for a Time Magazine article about ‘SAGA.’

So gorgeous.

Hnng. Fiona Staples artwork is lovely. Dare I say, nonpareil? I just wanted to use that word. Probably incorrectly, too. So uh whatever. Anyways! There is an article in Time Magazine about Saga, and the brilliant Staples cut a little bit of awesome artwork for the commemoration.

It’s totally the berries.

Hit the jump to check for the full image. Plus! More info.

Buy These Flippin Comics! (7/31/2013) Two Timers

A LIAR.

I’m a liar.  A dirty, rotten scoundrel!  A nerf-herder of the highest proportion.  To find out why, hit the jump and let’s talk this week’s funnybooks!

“What the hell is Señor Hotsauce on about this week?” is the question pursed on everyone’s lips.  Or, it should be.

Simple.

I’ve been seeing my “ex” behind OL’s back.  In fact, I never left my ex.  I know I told you guys we could come here and talk comics in lieu of  going mobile and hitting up your local comic shop, but I just couldn’t stay away.  I love my comic shop, but I dig you guys, too!   So, if you’ll still have me, I’m gonna try and spread that love (and opinions on my favorite books this week) at both joints, and I urge you to do the same!  Sally-fucking-forth, comic nerds!

In fact, do me a favor and give a shout out to your LCS.  They deserve the attention.  Comic Book University in Greenwood, IN is where I hang my pull list.  Good folks who keep the new releases well stocked and the snark to a loving 11.  (Also:  ComiXology has a “virtual store” for participating joints, so that they, too, can get in on the digital-age action.  So make sure you ask your LCS if they’re involved.  It sends some coin their way and is at no additional cost to you, the consumer.)

Enough with the handjobbery!  What’s poppin’ off today?

ULISES FARINAS draws sexy TATOOINE LANDSCAPE

Ulises Farinas holds down Tatooine.

No, this is not new. But yes, my obsession with Ulises Farinas is new. Ever since our own J-Hawtsauce dropped the brilliant son of a bitch on my mind last week, I’ve been scouring Internet for more of his wonder.

Then I came across this.

The glory, the glory.

DOPE AS SHIT: IMAGE selling its DIGITAL COMICS WITH NO DRM.

Eric Stephenson.

Holy Toldeo, Batman. Hot off of me lamenting the walled-in inaccessibility of digital comics just yesterday comes this news. Image is going to begin offering their digital comics as DRM-free PDF files. This is balls-out wank-worthy. Yep!

FARYL DALRYMPLE getting gorgeous collection ‘DELUSIONAL’ in September.

Delusional.

I fell in love with Faryl Dalrymple with his work on Prophet, and I have been following the good sir since. The only problem is the duder is prolific as fuck. Good luck hunting down all his sheezy! Good news for scrubs like me, though. Dalrymple is getting his own collection this September.

Grant Morrison explains why SUPERHERO MOVIES aren’t enough. Read the comics.

Grant Morrison.

Grant Morrison has an interesting quote regarding what people will miss should they eschew reading comic books in favor of only watching funny book movies. It’s intriguing, because I have lately been wrestling with my own contempt for the printed formula while simultaneously jacking it to the cinematic flavor. What would I be missing if I got off the comic book Ferris Wheel?

‘MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.’ PROMO #1: Coulson and friends GET WEIRD

OH MY GAWD HE IS BACK

Here is a fairly unexciting debut trailer for ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD. You have Coulson (and while it is antithetical to say, I don’t really care about him) and friends tackling strange events and stuff. My guess? Superhero procedural. I’ll be there, even if I am fairly apathetic towards this first glimpse.
