  • Looking to Buy Comics Online Try NewKadia.com

    Buying Comics Whenever I have purchased comics online, I have always simply purchased from a small handful of online shops. Today I got a press release in my email about a shop that has apparently been in business for almost twenty years and is kind of local to me. Looks like they are strictly online,…

  • Review: 1Up Collectibles Comic Shop

    Here is my review that Yelp.com seems to have flagged/filtered/removed for their own stupid reasons. Five Stars ***** for 1Up Collectibles This is the best comic shop in the area hands down! I have had issues with other shops giving you attitude (think Comic Book Guy in the Simpsons). NOT HERE. The owner is super…

  • Marvel and DC Comics Mixing It Up

    So I was over on Marvel.com checking for information on upcoming Marvel movies and the ad running on almost ALL pages was an ad for the new DC Comics animated Wonder Woman movie (I will of course be getting this film when it comes out on Tuesday). But why is it popping up on Marvel.com?…

  • Samuel L. Jackson is Nick Fury

    Remember the end of Ironman? We got a glimpse of SHIELD agent Nick Fury played by Samuel L Jackson. The geek in all of us LOVED the idea and assumed it was a sign of things to come. Apparently, it wasn’t and no deal was in place between Mr. Jackson and Marvel (at least that…

  • Name the 50 Aliens on This Shirt

    I had so much fun with my friends trying to figure out the 51 Robots on my other Chop Shop t-shirt that I thought I would do the same here with the 50 Aliens shirt. (Both of which are highly recommended by me as being both uber cool and uber geeky.) Here’s what I got…

  • Marvel-ous Cartoons Are A Coming

    Marvel’s Wolverine and the X-men will come to TV in 2009 thanks to NickToons. But that’s not all that’s a coming. We will also get Ironman: The animated series!  Each will offer up 26 half hour episodes and give us all a reason to set our Tivos. Check out the new trailer for Wolverine and…

  • Incredible Hulk or Incredible Dud

    Finally got to see the Ironman movie and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the action. Downey did a great job playing an alcoholic womanizer. Did he have practice? Seriously, he did an excellent job in the film. Before the movie we got a glimpse at a few of the summers…

  • Wolverine and the X-Men Cartoon

    Since I ranted about the Foo Fighters filing suit against Marvel Comics I thought I would write a little bit more about the trailer and the cartoon that has caused the whole mess. Wolverine and the Xmen Writer: Greg Johnson Director: Boyd Kirkland Producer: First Serve Toonz in association with Marvel Synopsis: When an explosive…

  • Phooey on the Foo Fighters

    The foo fighters are suing Marvel Comics for using one or two of their Songs in a promo for the new X-men cartoon. I for one think it is ridiculous. How can they claim damages when no one even remembers who the foo fighters are? Heck, I would think they should be happy with the…

  • 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].

  • Stan Lee Action Figure Update

    Hasbro has come through. Now all I have to do is head over to their site and actually place an order for my very own Stan [the man] Lee Action figure. He can also turn into Spider-man and save the day. 🙂

  • 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…
