  • Everyone used to have a Michael Jacskon doll! They were the coolest ever in the 80’s. Kids all over were getting Michael mixed in with all of their normal action figures-heck I remember even including Michael on some adventures with my giant Hulk Mego! Now that was a strange team up! Since they were about the…

  • Well as you may or may not already know Tim Burton is attempting to tackle Alice In Wonderland and guess what? It stars Johnny Depp. Thankfully Burton has decided NOT to cast him as Alice though I am sure that he was considering it at some point! I am really wondering if he is going to be…

  • So the 1frombeyond’s post got me all fired up yesterday about MY favorite comic book artist of all time, Mr. John Byrne! Ever since I was a kid I loved and knew his artwork. I’d always get pretty pumped when I would see a comic book drawn by him-even at my young age I just knew…

  • Over on the message boards of the greatest comic artist/writer ever, John Byrne, talk about Chris Claremont’s new X-Men Forever (a book continuing the 90’s series from issue #3) has brought out “thought excercises” and a few sketches from Byrne on what he would do if he could continue his run from where he left…

  • Wow. So it really is true Michael Jackson is dead. I was at work today with no internet access and got several texts messages when it happened. So now I am home and saw it on Yahoo’s main page. I have always thought for some reason Michael was immortal. He was like some sort of crazy…

  • I know this may come a little late for some universaldork readers but since I just stumbled across this, I felt it worthy of my reporting time because not only does it bring up a very serious comic book industry issue for me (more on this later), it’s absolutely fucking bananas and makes me feel…

  • I just had to post this here. I saw it last night for the first time and laughed so hard that I was in tears. Check out this video of the worst weatherman of all time as he struggles painfully to keep it together and make it through this daily weather segment!! This is truely brilliant….

  • Well it’s Father’s Day! To really bring some good vibes on this lovely day I thought it would be nice if here at Universal Dork we spent some quality time with one of our favorite movie dads-The Stepfather!! Man did he have it rough! All he ever wanted was a good wholesome american family and some damn…

  • Marvel’s recent solicitations listed Thunderbolts #136 as”classified” but a recent image posted on former Lying in the Gutters gossip columnist, Rich Johnston’s new site bleedingcool.com shows what Marvel may be hiding until after herocon: Luke Cage and Iron Fist as new Thunderbolts members! I don’t even know how to rationalize this. I love these guys,…
