Punisher House of M & Marvel Zombies 2 2007-12-22 14:17:00 Punisher finally looks somewhat normal in the latest issue of House
of M: Avengers, and not too soon for me! I'm sick of seeing a steroid infused body and bloated biceps.

Marvel Comics Worst Covers Vol. 1 2007-12-18 13:10:00 I love MarvelComics
, and I love their legacy. But I am not enjoying a lot of their recent covers. Why?Because there is an obvious flair for adding photoshop to all their covers and artwork. From gradient back drops, to proportions that just don't match, there is a plethora of reasons to hate the latest and what some think is the greatest from the Marvel Universe. The cast of Characters at Marvel's disposal is huge, so why is it that they push these covers and comics with such bad writing, horrible covers, and even worse interiors? I don't understand.Does Stan Lee see these?These are horrible!If you liked this post, or just bored, check out Amazon.com They actually have some good deals on comics, video games and more!

Homer Simpsons Picture A Day Video 2007-12-17 11:54:00 Homer Simpson has been an Icon in both television and comics for a long time. And the artwork has never been better...1 picture a day for 36 years was featured on the Simpsons

The Dark Knight Movie HD Trailer 2007-12-16 22:36:00 The new Batman movie is going to rock so hard, it's going to shake the foundation of the Batman movie franchise and make believers out of all the naysayers out there. Or is it?The trailer showcases a Joker we've never seen, a Batman we've come to expect, and a directing style that is superb. The Dark Knight
has come home and the comic book nerd in all of us is smiling from ear to ear. I for one can not possibly fathom how cool this movie is going to be. The first one had some major moments. Will it match Batman's Comic Books?Probably. We'll have to wait for it to come out next year, but I believe things are going to be great. I know I'm spewing rhetoric like a fan boy, but I think it's a good thing. Check out the trailer, and more importantly, help me keep blogging by visiting my comic book store Here. Read more:Trailer
Loveless Vol. 1 Cover & Interior + Bonus! 2007-12-16 14:00:00 This cover looks familiar, and why not? It's got a powerhouse name on it. Don't recall? Maybe you haven't heard of 100 Bullets! One of my favorite comic book series of all time.The first collection of Loveless
is now featured in a nice trade with issues 1 through 5 and you can preview the first one, and you can download the pdf by clicking here.This series is nearly flawless, and you can pick up the full thing for $9.99 by clicking here, and I highly recommend it. Preview the first one, then get yourself the real deal for about ten bucks by clicking Here. You can't go wrong with this one. In fact pick this up with Preacher Volume 1 and you're in for some good holiday reading. Read more:Cover

Cable & Deadpool #48 Cover and Interiors 2007-12-14 17:35:00 Definitely my favorite cover so far this year. Cable
& Deadpool #48 reaches into a brand of primal drawing and painting that depicts the true nature of the interior storyline and pages. I would buy this issue just for the cover, it's nuts, it's awesome, it's great! This rivals what's going on in the Hellblazer covers that I enjoy so much. Will the interior live up to it though?Nope....although not horrible....yet.Oh man, they ruined it for me. Too bad.This had so much promise based on the cover alone, but I'd still buy it. First I gotta catch up though. If you're interested in going back with me in time and reading the first sets of Cable & Deadpool via graphic novel or trade paperback, click HEREca to purchase a copy and save some $$ while you're at it.

Driving Lights 2007-12-14 13:56:00 There are a lot of things that you need to consider in regards to safety when driving. One of those things is driving lights. That's right, you have to consider these things when you're in the darkest conditions or in the middle of nowhere. I for one am highly recommending these for those that of you out there that are driving at night all the time. It's something to consider whether you're a novice or an expert driver, the more you can see the safer you can be. The more of the road you can see, the better prepared you can be when things change.

The Dark Knight Movie Poster 2007-12-13 20:54:00 The latest international movie poster is out and it's looking really good. The Dark Knight
comes out next year and already it is getting a lot of attention from all sources. I for one still think the Joker needs to prove himself...otherwise it won't be as viable as the comics...at least not the Frank Miller one's.However, from what I hear, it's going to be stellar, and I can't wait. The poster is definitely getting me psyched!If you liked this post, or just bored, check out Amazon.com They actually have some good deals on comics, video games and more by clicking Here!

Ultimates #3 Cover, Variant, and Interiors 2007-12-13 13:00:00 Ultimates #3 makes me wonder; Didn't they kill Captain America? He's still battling in this issue....Variant Cover
....man I'm tired of spending more money on the same interior story.Photoshop To HellNot bad.Then they ruin it.Ultimates 3 is just kiddy stuff in many ways. I don't know what is going on. Marvel really should focus on that old time comic book art feel. I hope they press the gates with new stuff. There is a place for Ultimates, but man, it's not an easy one to stomach.If you liked this post, or just bored, check out Amazon.com They actually have some good deals on comics, video games and more!
Charlie Brown Is Spiderman 2007-12-12 20:59:00 Charlie Brown
has never been the heroic character that Peter Parker has turned into in many shapes and forms. But with this image, maybe there is hope after all. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a drawing worth? Certainly enough to get you thinking about how cool things would be if Charlie Brown
really was the antithesis of a character as complex as The Amazing Spiderman
. But alas, things weren't so, and the Peanuts gang continued sans Spiderman crossover.Now as for deals online, there's a lot of them out there. But finding the Complete Peanuts for 30 bucks and some change? Now that's a deal. Click HERE and see the best deal in Charlie Brown history. I for one am drooling over this one...you might be too.

Batman Tells Superman What's Up 2007-12-12 20:05:00 Batman and Superman
have never truly saw eye to eye. This clip showcases that in such a way that only nerds and geeks would appreciate it. Sure some of us might not agree, sure you might think it's subtle, but come on....it's Batman telling off Superman.Done and Done.That's why I love Batman....so honest, so cool....so collected, so not scared of Superman.Now that you're thinking what if Superman Fought Batman...STOP!The two met in a graphic and comic book sense to mop up. The government commissions Superman to take down Batman, but can Superman succeed?Decide for yourself. Buy The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller for about 10 bucks by Clicking HERE Read more:Batman
Marvel Manga 2007-12-11 13:04:00 In a recent announcement, MarvelManga
was the topic of choice. Sadly this also comes on the heels of recent developments that state Manga is all but dead.I'm far from being an expert in the field, but this seems to conflict a little...but then again...is it Manga if Marvel is selling it to Americans? It's a slippery slope for comic book purists.If you liked this post, or just bored, check out Amazon.com They actually have some good deals on comics, video games and more by Clicking Here!
D.I.Y Wiimote Design 2007-12-10 08:26:00 Just when you thought things were going south on this blog. Or north? Depends on how you view comic book previews and random talk about covers that are bad and the likes. Here is something for the Wii kids out there, the ones that are lucky to have a Wii since the shortages are going to be the talk of the video game industry for a while. I should have bought one when I had the chance, and now I'm kicking myself. That's besides the point, thanks to Kotaku for this gem....What you see here is a Wiimote
(A remote control set for the Nintendo Wii) that someone has redesigned with some nifty graphics, personalizing the console and therefore making sure they never have the intentions of selling it on Ebay. I like it. How about you? If you liked this post, or just bored, check out Amazon.com They actually have some good deals on comics, video games and more! Click Here!
Scalped Vol. 1 Cover & Interior Pages 2007-12-07 12:38:00 Vertigo is pushing the envelope with this release, and I'm excited. Scalped Vol. 1 features a great cover and the interior pages hype me up a little, although it's not exactly pc in any way shape or form. I am surprised that DC (A Time Warner Company) is allowed to not only name their comic in this way, but allowed to publish such a gruesome comic and cover. I'm sure this is going to raise protests, but it is really a good story and if you're new to it, check out Vol. 1 Here for 9.99, and it is well worth it. The interiors, the cover, the story, just as good as you can expect from Vertigo, which is doing a good job although not promoting it as heavily as some other brands.

Fantastic Four & Sasquatch 2007-12-06 13:40:00 My first thoughts upon seeing this awesome cover for Fantastic
Four were, "Wow, Marvel finally has gotten good at this", and then I looked at the interior pages and was sorely disappointed with the results. Unfortunately for me, Fantastic Four
's latest opus doesn't really do much in the way of artistic prowess outside of the cover. The cover denotes some cool undertones, and since I live in the Northwest, Sasquatch
would have been rad...but alas...Rob Zombie's Bigfoot is more closely resembling the beast than this skewed and sorry Fantastic Four release. If you liked this post, or just bored, check out Amazon.com They actually have some good deals on comics, video games and more!
Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Guilty Pleasures Cover 2007-12-05 16:59:00 I always thought that Buffy The Vampire
Slayer was the ultimate in women vampire hunters, but apparently there is another contender to the crown of vampire huntress. That is what I have learned according to the latest vampire comic book offered from Marvel Comics, undeniably one of the coolest covers and story lines to come across my desk. Anita
Blake Vampire Hunter
is not your average comic, and is available in Trade Hardcover right now Here.Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter is a series of erotic fantasy novels by Laurell K. Hamilton, narrated by the title character, Anita Blake. Anita lives in a fictional Saint Louis much like our own, save that, not only are things like vampires and shapeshifters real, but everyone knows that they're real and they are considered citizens of America, much like normal humans. The novels follow Anita's ongoing conflicts with the supernatural as she attempts to solve a variety of supernatural mysteries, come to grips with her own abilities, and navigate an Read more:Cover

Vacations in Spanish 2007-12-04 20:15:00 There are a lot of hotels out there and it's hard to find one if you don't know the language. I am from Mexico, and initially my parents never went on vacation because they never understood the English language enough to get a good deal.All they needed to see in large letters was ofertas de hoteles, and they could have gotten a first class hotel for a low price. Now that we are living in a new culture, we can take full advantage of hotels in Spanish

Dock Walloper #1 by Ed Burns Preview 2007-12-04 17:31:00 Ed Burns
of course has made a few independent films and whether you like him or you hate him, he's crossing over on this really cool comic. New York City: It's the roaring 20s and America's great metropolis has become the nexus of high society culture, cutting edge industry and perhaps the most shocking crime wave in our country's history. Known for its sinister and treacherous underworld, there's a new power waking up the city that never sleeps. It's name... John "The Hand" Smith.- Comic Book ResourceThis seems to be a trend in hollywood, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. Ed Burns might have some goods, just like Nicholas Cage has some talent behind that boring acting of his.

Behold Cardiac 2007-12-03 16:30:00 Some Comic Book villains and ideas are better than others. This is probably the worst though. Cardiac, a super villain of sorts made trouble for the Amazin Spiderman on many occasions, and boy was it a stinker.As revealed in The Amazing Spider-Man #376, Elias Wirtham is a doctor driven by his brother's death to researching life-saving medical practices.His brother's death was the result of corporate greed, who had a cure for his condition ready, but did not distribute the medicine due to it not being a "profitable" time for them, hence his motivation against corporations. As a part of his research, Elias replaces his heart with a beta-particle reactor, which supplies energy throughout his body, in addition to a vibranium weave mesh under his skin. This energy, channeled through his muscles, increases his speed, agility, and reflexes, and can also be fired through his fists or the power staff he wields. He adopts the moniker "Cardiac" in reference to the source of his power.That is ac Read more:Behold
Thor #4 Cover 2007-12-01 12:23:00 The Thor #4 cover shows Thor once again as bigger than life, as he should be. Now while the interiors have been a little better than some of the other Marvel releases, I do enjoy the Thor storyline and am collecting the covers and the variants to make sure my collection doesn't left behind.

Televisions 2007-12-01 12:15:00 As far as video games are concerned, the latest consoles offer a wide range of HDTV games. Recently I have seen a good amount of people trying to get a good deal on a sony HDTV television, and most of them fail to find a good deal. That's why I don't go to the stores anymore, I usually end up going online to see the better deals. A little internet searching and you can find what you're looking for at a low cost and you won't even have to wait in line for the holiday shoppers to get out of the way.This has been a sponsored post.
Xbox Doesn't Make You Fat 2007-11-30 16:42:00 Apparently the x-box 360 is killing kids. Or at least this poor sap...but is he really poor?I don't really think so, he's got junk food, and from what I see, he's got at least 3 bucks worth of good junk food, and Adidas shoes on. Who else had adidas and wasn't fat?Run DMC! That's right, RUN DMC wore their Adidas with pride, so maybe the xbox isn't killing kids, maybe the sofa isn't even killing kids, it's the Adidas!Adidas lovers beware...wearing those shoes will make you fat and lazy.How can I say such things?The xbox isn't even plugged in, that's why!Now what happened to Run DMC?Well Jam Master Jay died...possibly due to an Adidas disaster, and the other two idiots are now fat guys on reality tv...at least one is.

Wolverine vs. Captain America Blows 2007-11-29 17:57:00 Wolverine Origins had me excited for a while. Then I heard that Marvel was teaming up a storyline where CaptainAmerica
and Wolverine meet and do battle! I was overjoyed when I saw the first preview covers, as I am a big fan of Wolverine and the Captain, but this was just sad. The front cover of the latest edition of Wolverine Origins is so rad, it has a great artistic feel to it, then it drops off into some cell shaded, nine year old cartoon that leaves very little value to the art and story presented there in. See, it's not that I hate Marvel, I really love comic books but the artwork is as key to me as the story line. I love the idea of Wolverine and Captain America
battling it out, but I am not a fan of the juxtaposition of the cover art and interiors. They are night and day, that's just not right, it's just bad.If you're a fan of Wolverine Origins, or you haven't really read the stories, you can pick it up Here, for a few bucks, but it's really taking a downward spira Read more:Wolverine
Proof that Daredevil Is A Pimp 2007-12-26 08:07:00 Before Hollywood ruined my favorite comic book character by casting Ben Affleck and some other heart throb, and still managing to make over a hundred million dollars at the box office, Daredevil was one cool character. Despite his lame movie beginnings, and the stupid Elektra spin off, his character is still one of the best things in comics going today. Even though some of the interiors are horrible to look at in the Marvel Knights editions, I still enjoy the covers which have never let me down. But this is about Daredevil and how much of a pimp he is. In this featured comic, Daredevil #274 we are treated to a cool cover, but my point is driven home by the first page of this amazing comic book with a cheesy intro line.That's right folks. There you have Daredevil being fed by a blond haired woman who happens to be busty, and Daredevil, full suit, is relaxing. Wow.Daredevil, despite being blind, is still getting women. Us comic book nerds with coke bottle glasses have no excuse. I still Read more:Proof

The Legacy of Swamp Thing Vol. 1 Cover & Interiors 2007-12-24 20:10:00 Dc Comics isn't exactly known for these wilder comics, but for fanboys who are in the know, Vertigo is an offshoot of DC comics and arguably is doing better than the DC universe when compared to the Marvel masterpieces that are being dealt out from time to time. The Legacy
of SwampThing
covers nearly 200 pages of graphic novel goodness, collecting the original issues into one easy to read paperback. I actually enjoy this series because the artwork and covers are really well thought out, and the interiors are a throwback to the golden era of drawing and inking. Just look at the previews! This isn't photoshop gradient heaven as Marvel is releasing. You should check this out, and why not start at Vol. 1? For less than $15 you can pick this up by clicking here. Read more:Cover
