LOVE immortal iron fist.

only read the first trade so far. can't wait for volume 2 came out.

Preview of this week's upcoming Superman Prime Sinestro Corps Special:







































DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNN!

Yeah it's been great so far. Shame I lost my copy of the initial one-shot special. There's always something epic seeming when a bunch of GLs are together and their rings are all saying the same thing at once.

Yeah:



That looks like a good fit to give the Spirit the right feel. I'm psyched.

It originally appeared in Oni Double Feature #1. I haven't been able to verify if it's ever been collected in trade. I wouldn't think it would be in the Clerks trade since it's a J&SB story.

While trying to figure that out, I learned that there was something called Where's the Beef put out about a year ago chronicling the time between the burning of the Quickstop and the beginning of Clerks II.

the void is the sentry. but it's not a split when they fight. the sentry's fear of his own power becomes a physical manifistation as the void. i would suggest reading new avengers volume 2.

I don't think Andrew IS a Watcher. I think he just liked calling himself one. I think they all just sort of got implanted as the big army Buffy assembled at the end of the show was turned into an organization. Its not the Watcher's Council, its really just an evolution. Of course why the fuck anyone would but Andrew into a position of power is beyond me, but then again its fucking Buffy running this show and she was never really the smartest general.

Eh, I think them judging Angel the way they did is 100% reasonable. He and his crew ARE running one of the places they know to be pure evil. Add in that Angel's crew all have questionable histories to begin with or little to no history with Buffy's crew I think its fairly self explanatory. The one exception I might make is that Willow made a couple of Angel appearances and seemed friendly with Fred, yet when Fred got sick and Angel went looking for her he was blocked off. But he was blocked off by Giles so that's kind of how I'd expect the old Watcher to treat the CEO of Wolfram and Hart.

If Andrew suspected Spike might be evil then saving Spike wasn't necessarily the "right thing" for Angel to do. At least not from Andrew's POV.

It's weird to me how despite his involvement in it, the Spawn animated series was way different in tone to the comics. Though I suppose if it wasn't he wouldn't had the chance to do those intros to the episodes.

I never looked at it that way, Oppy, but you are so right. And that's probably why I never thought Penny Arcade was funny.

But then, didn't Get Your War On start as a web comic? (actually, it's been a while since that one's been funny - it's pretty hit or miss. And technically, it is about something)

I've liked Cyanide and Happiness, from what little I've seen of it. These are funny:

HEY! I just noticed that not every strip is done by the same guy! There's like 3 or 4 guys writing this strip.

Which makes earlier Ult. Spider-Man issues confusing with stuff like home video footage of Pete and Eddie Brock's dads talking about how their research will make them more famous than Reed.

That depends on what you're a hardcore fan of. I thought that the whole "Death of Superman" storyline was ricockulous and overblown, but I'm a huge fan of DCAU. So I anticipate liking this a whole bunch and not giving two shits about any liberties taken with the original storyline.

I take it this is being shown on Cartoon Network? I just have basic cable, so I'll have to wait and download this, or buy the DVD.

I still have KidsWB, though. Really looking forward to the season premieres of The Batman and LSH tomorrow morning.

Uh,oh. He and Beetle are in different gangs!!

Clock King: Technically, he never calls himself "Clock King," but he's definitely the same character concept. Obsessed with time and all. But he has a pretty unique superpower. When something doesn't work the way he wants, he goes back and tries again. He can do this as often as he likes, within a limit of fifteen minutes or so. The episode was called "Seconds" and it was quite awesome.

Another awesome one is "Artifacts," where archaeologists in the far future have to unlock the secrets of the Batcave in order to stop Mr. Freeze.

Two Face: He's not just a mutilated gangster, he's a good guy who goes bad because he's mutilated. And I would guess that they decided to skip it, not because it wasn't "kiddie" enough, but because they had already done that, except with Clayface.

The first season finale, "Rubber Face of Comedy" / "Clay Face of Tragedy," where Joker mutilates a cop who is a lifelong friend of Bruce's, and he is slowly alienated to the point where he decides to just use his new powers as an outlaw--and to get revenge on the Joker--is a real highlight of the show, too.

Also, there's Batman vs. Dracula. That was awesome enough that I nominated it in the Animation Showdown.

That makes sense. Cap (along with Thor and Iron Man) is one of those "if he's on a team, then that team is the Avengers" guys. Even more so than Thor and Iron Man.

I'm not the only one who's noticed the similarity, I see. The last paragraph of the "fictional history" section of the Defenders' wiki:

Justice League Begins Casting?
Source: Will
September 2, 2007


According to Obsessed With Film, casting directors are now listed at Showfax in New York, Toronto and Vancouver for Warner Bros.' live-action Justice League of America adaptation, which George Miller (Happy Feet) is expected to direct.

The roles listed with the casting calls do not specify which characters they are in the film. Reports have said that the superhero team-up movie would include Batman, Superman, The Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and the Green Lantern. Christian Bale (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) and Brandon Routh (Superman, Superman: Man of Steel) are not involved.

Warner Bros. has yet to make an official announcement about George Miller's attachment or any casting info.

You misspelled a word. A crucial word, but a word nonetheless.

good. i hope it comes out as a hardcover. they come out quicker than trades. the HC will be out is 7 or 8 months. the trade will probably be closer to a year.

It's pretty much why I plan on posting the Benoit/WTC anytime a wrestler dies.

Although at this rate, looks like the joke's going to get really old really fast.

RIP Ringo. He did some damn good work.

Huh. Sounds like it could be pretty good.

Ok, I know pretty much jack shit about comics. But some dude from DC was on the radio yesterday talking about zudacomics.com. From what I made of it, it like, launches in October and you upload your comics on there, and the way the guy from DC was talking about it, they're going to be looking to give people contracts and stuff.

Or maybe I just totally misunderstood what the hell it actually is. Anyways, I figured it could be some use to OpTard if he hasn't already heard of it.

Mrs Solly is indeed a real vaginaed person. But she's very jealous of what Solly and the Moose have with each other.



I'm talking about spooning.

It's gotten better since then. He's found out what the Scarab really is and it's brought his major enemy into the plot, while his supporting cast have developped a little (his "Beetle Cave" is just an online site where some hacker guys give him info about what's going, his parents know all about his double life and they're pretty cool about it, his friends too.)
There was a really nicely done issue which flashed back to Infinite Crisis and what he was up to during the attack on Brother Eye (Green Arrow and Black Canary were keeping him alive from attacking OMACs), a story arc about him being whisked off to a New Gods planet to save his friend, meeting Metron.
He's met Guy Gardner twice, teaming up the second time and getting some Ted Kord material from him so he can start "acting like the Blue Beetle".
And in the Eclipso story above, he's got involved with Traci 13, who has been sorta retconned into being the foster daughter of Ralph and Sue Dibny.
