  • It’s new comic day! The new “Crossed” is out…

    With the economy in a shambles and money flow down, new comic day can be a little trickier than it used to be. I’ve already dropped alot of titles that just weren’t cutting it anymore and with many comic books now moving their prices up to $3.99 a pop I’ve really become alot more choosy on what I read every week. It seems to me alot of the Marvel stuff I was reading I’ve left at the wayside. Poor stories and barely acceptable artwork runs common in many of their titles. Even our homeboy Bendis seems to have lost his magic touch. There however are a few titles that always seem to make the cut. “The Walking Dead” is a no brainer and probably the BEST comic book out there today. But there’s also another horror comic which is delivering the chills consistantly, Garth Ennis’s “Crossed”.

  • The World’s greatest fantasy music videos! Queen is back again!

    Wow Queen sure knew how to write some totally awesome songs for fantasy movies in the 1980’s! Let’s not forget that they also wrote the theme song to the amazing Flash Gordon movie. Just seeing this video makes me want to run out and rent this! Check it out:

  • Terminator Time travel Craziness!!! someone explain this $%#@!

    I just saw Terminator Salvation today and I liked it. It was a good solid action flick with some pretty rad special effects along with a suprise appearance from CG Arnold!! HA! It was definately a worthy addition to the franchise and had a cool story with a whole new outlook on the Terminator universe. But enough about that really because seeing this movie only got me even more riled up about the whole time travel aspect of this series. Bottom line-it makes no sense!! And if it does someone please enlighten my feeble mind!

  • “The Surrogates” makes it to the big screen!!

    The Surrogates was a great, seriously under-rated, sci-fi comic book! I had always thought it would make a great movie, so it’s nice to see that it finally has made it to the big screen. The premise is simple. The year is 2054, people are using robotic surrogates to live their lives while they remain at home logged into a network. Their surrogates are much more beautiful, perfect versions of themselves and give their real counterparts virtually no risk of danger in the real world.

  • Terminator: The Ultimate Tribute Song!!

    It’s Terminator weekend! Yay! So everyone needs to check out this AMAZING rocking tribute called “I’ll Be Back”. Finally someone writes not only an amazing song but makes a video as well in honor of this amazing movie series!!! You’ll be singing this one all day I guarantee….

  • Wolverine’s REAL son needs to come back and show Daken what’s what!!

    The other day I was re-reading the somewhat forgotten Wolverine graphic novel, ‘The Jungle Adventure’, a great solo Wolverine story by Walt Simonson and Mike Mignola.

    In this tale, Wolverine escapes from his recent troubles with the X-Men by hanging out in the Savage Land. Eventually he becomes a pretty prominent member of a native tribe, even fighting Apocalypse in their defense.

    But the real gold is that while there, he fucks a very large woman named Ghack who delivers his son, unbeknownst to him. This little guy’s name is Erista and nobody has given a shit about him since 1990!!

    Here's half his face
    Here's his bangin' mom holding him

    Instead we have this Daken dipshit running around the MU with his ‘tribal tats’ and mohawk, crying to everyone within earshot about his daddy issues. I think the time is now for the return of Erista, savage-land warrior with Wolverine’s blood, to surface in the MU, put Daken out of his misery and stake his claim as the original Wolverine offspring.

    Oh and anyone else out there wondering about Lynx? She was like a daughter to Wolverine and last we saw her, it was 1993 and she was left to fend for herself in the Candian wilderness. Let’s get her back too so she can show X-23 (or Laura or whatever) who’s boss!

  • Wolverine’s claws: the wrong choice!

    A friend of mine just sent me a link to this video and it was pretty awesome! What would you take if given the choice Wolverine’s claws or his healing factor?

  • Best Comedic website: Christwire.org! This just HAS to be a joke!

    So  I was looking for a response to The1frombeyond’s post on gay villains and stumbled upon this website called Christwire.org    and all I can really say about it is WOW. I figure that this site has just GOT to be a joke and if not it would be so much funnier. I think this could be related to the Onion but i’m not sure.

    There is pretty recent post on the site called, “More Proof Marvel and DC “Comics” Promote Homogay Agenda” it’s just got to be read to be beleived. It really tied in with the topics here over the last couple days- plus check this picture out (sooo rad) that came from the article entitled “Marvel Now Pomotes Gay Agenda With Wolverine Toy “!

  • Let’s hear it for the gay villains!!

    So since we’re celebrating the established gay comic book heroes, it’s only fair to take a look at their counterparts, the gay villains. So far we have:

    Electro (Marvel Knights)

    gayelectro

    After doing some hard time and discovering a “new side”, Electro turns down a shape-shifting prostitute in Mark Millar’s Marvel Knights Spiderman title.

    Mystique

    destinyevo

    Chris Claremont had originally planned for Mystique and Destiny to have been lovers. The idea was that Mystique took on the form of a man and fucked Destiny until they made a ‘lil Nightcrawler. Unfortunately, the Comics Code wouldn’t allow such a sordid tale to be published.

  • Northstar: The Only Gay Superhero??? WTF?

    As you may already know I LOVE Alpha Flight!!! It was probably one of the BEST comic books of the 80’s. How can you go wrong with a group of Canadian superheroes who hunted down Wolverine to bring him back as their leader and  in the process went toe to toe with the Uncanny X-Men?! Plus they were created and drawn by John Byrne-quite possibly the BEST (arguably-but he’s my all time fav) artist ever in comic books! Well even though these guys ruled and hung out with a 10 foot tall Sasquatch, they also had something else that catapulted this amazing team of superheroes to legendary status. Northstar-one of the coolest characters in the Marvel Universe and as I understand it the first openly GAY superhero ever.
