Quite some time ago I abandoned my Yahoo! email because of the enormous amount of Spam I was receiving daily, but today while bored in class I decided to sort through it. At the very top was an email from Amazon telling me to “Pre-order your copy of Twilight…”. I immediately clicked the email after [...]

TechCrunch is reporting that Marvel is partnering with Panelfly to bring many of your favorites from Amazing Spider-Man to X-men to the Appstore.  Issues will cost $0.99 and while I love the prospect of reading comics on my iPhone, I imagine the small screen would make it a bit difficult to make out everything onscreen.  [...]

So as I’m sure most of the comic community and a few of you movie lovers have heard, Disney has acquired Marvel for a measly little $4 billion dollars.  I suppose I like to imagine that in some comical (get it?) fashion, Scrooge McDuck himself handed over a ridiculously large check to Stan Lee just [...]

I Beg You, Go Read Automota

Monday, August 10, 2009 14:48 No Comments

Thoughts on Watchmen: The Director’s Cut

Thursday, August 6, 2009 23:41 No Comments

As I’m sure many of you realize, the director’s cut of Watchmen was recently released in all of its 1080p goodness.  What you may not know though, is that it packs in an additional 24 minutes of footage making this behemoth of a film a hefty 186 minutes.

E3 Coverage Starts Today, Kids!

This is just a friendly reminder that Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo will be delivering their press conferences today and that we should all stop what we’re doing to watch the big three duke it out through pie graphs, exclusive titles, and good old fashioned mud-slinging.  Microsoft’s up to bat first about 3 hours from now, [...]

3 Webcomics I Read Regularly

Monday, May 25, 2009 23:51 No Comments

I was sitting here thinking about what I should write on tonight and it occurred to me that I haven’t written a heckuvalot on comics yet. Amidst my general surfing and trying to discern the meaning of the universe, I found myself wandering through the archives of some of my favorite web comics and figured [...]
