  • Wolverine and the X-Men Trailer

    Here is the offending trailer to the new Marvel cartoon Wolverine and the Xmen [most likely we’ll never get this cartoon since these guys are being buttheads about the use of their music….as if it is hurting them any having it used here].

  • SDCC Exclusives Part Deux

    I should really read my toy magazines when I get them. Just saw in both Toyfare and Toy Shop magazines that Hasbro has an exclusive Stan Lee action figure.  Oh will I never learn! I gots to get me one of those! On a more positive note I heard from someone that they picked up…

  • Dark Horse Is Getting Creepy . . . and Eerie

    The magazines that gave a whole generation the shivers are back. Creepy and Eerie were the definitive horror and sci-fi comics of the 1960s and flourished up until the early 1980s. Dark Horse Comics has entered into an agreement with New Comic Company to create archive editions of this classic material, as well as launch…

  • Indy is Returning to Film and Comics

    Indiana Jones for a new generation… Lucasfilm’s celebrated action/adventure hero, Indiana Jones, the forerunner of popular characters such as Lara Croft, will be making a triumphant return in 2008 with the yet-to-be-titled fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film series. Starring Harrison Ford and directed by Steven Spielberg, the film is slated for release in…

  • SDCC Exclusives

    Personally I hate exclusives. And I especially hate them when they are impossible to get. I am referring to the Star Trek Snoopy and Woodstock bobble heads from Funko. Which are only available at San Diego Comic Con [going on right now].  Being on the east coast I cannot easily or affordably head over and…

  • Battlestar Galactica is done for….

    Well the writing is on the wall for this great series. The powers that be have annouced that Battlestar Galactica will be ending with the fourth season which will be starting in November with a 2 hour episode but officially begins in early 2008. The shows creators think the story was heading to a climax…

  • DC Comics 52

    52 is over. We got a great story over the course of the year and some really good characters stepping up to fill the shoes of the big guns. I for one hope to see many of theses characters again and really, really hope DC will see fit to give Batwoman [in the 52 she’s…

  • Free Comic Book Day Not So Free

    Isn’t Free Comic Book Day about free comics? And getting the comics to the kids? Get them hooked so they buy more comics? Then why, oh why, were the two shops I visited on Saturday May 5th only giving away one free comic then charging for any others you picked up? Granted the one shop…

  • Don’t Play With Your Food

    Especially if it is the Edible Marvel Action Figures from Dynatech. These things appear to be a good idea when you first read about them…build an action figure with candy pieces. Play with it then eat it.  Well, they did not make the candy hard enough so it melts in the package causing a gooey…
