Variant Covers: It Ain’t Wrong If The Vegetable Loves You Back.
There are comic books coming out tomorrow, which can mean only one thing. Actually, it can mean a lot of things. The you factor into the geek wet dream of a Multiverse and it can mean…literally an infinite amount of things. One!, one of the things it means is that I’m here. In front of Microsoft Word. I am charged with bringing you the list of comic books I’m looking forward to this fine Wednesday. It’s a small charge, one I am capable of answering. My fat brain is filled with too many capes, not enough indies. A smattering of quasi-smaller publishings by actually relatively large companies like Image and Dark Horse.
Whatever the case, whatever the case. My taste is poor, I’m sure yours is better. So when I’m done mash-mash-mashing away on the keyboard and you have engaged in ultimate altruism and answered the bell by reading this mess, I implore you: share the comics you’re buying this week. Share them right up.

Estimates: Marvel Edges Out DC For Top Spot. Take That, New 52!
According to wonderful scientific estimates churned out by eggheads in wunder-laboratories, Marvel regained the top spot in December comic sales. Thankfully!, thankfully without Avengers X-Sanctioned taking the top spot. ‘Cause that comic fucking sucked.
Teaser: ‘Eastbound & Down’ Season 3. I’m F**King In.
I’m stoked for the third and final season of Eastbound & Down. While it’s a bummer that our time with Kenny (Josh Beckett) Powers is coming to an end, I like the idea of them riding off into the sunset before the schtick wears too thin.
Suicide Threats At Xbox 360 Plant? E’gads.
Suicide is a big problem at product plants around the world. Our shiny iPhones get produced for us, commodified, and we seldom stop to contemplate the shiznit that goes into making them! Alas. Things are getting serious at a Microsoft plant, with mass threats of suicide.
Video: Walter Sobchak, The Last Hero. A Metal Tribute.
I’m…really, really obsessed with The Big Lebowski. An obsession that was laying dormant until recently, when I watched it twice in a week. Since then, I’ve been walking around quoting it to myself and anyone near me. While trying to YouTube a clip of Walter last evening I came across this. A metal tribute to Walter, which I find far far far funnier than it actually should be.
Indulge me.

Monday Morning Commute: To The Red F**king Planet With Fury and Glee.
What’s up Star Children? How the fuck are you doing this evening? Rendar threw the Symbol Omega into the sky and asked me to take custody of this steed for this week’s installment. I have a goddamn stomach ache, and I think it’s because its the first day in a week I haven’t gorged on some sort of confectionery nonsense. (Though to be fair our own Eduardo Pluto somehow tricked me into eating an entire fucking box of Runts but that’s neither here nor there.)
Fuck! Fucking fuck. Where was I? Oh yeah! This is MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE, the column where everyone throws down their sorrows and lists the distractions and distinctions that is keeping us all from killing ourselves amid the capitalism torture-grind-rack-thing.
