Warren Ellis Says Comics Should Go Digital First. Brian Wood Says “I Am”
Warren Ellis got around to dropping some comments about where he thinks the comic industry should go, and should have already went recently. He stated that comics should go digital-first, but opined that maybe creators didn’t have a taste for it. Then stepped in Brian Wood.

Pluto May Be A Rich Source Of Fuel. Says “F**k You All!” When Questioned.
Pluto has taken an Earthling ass-whuppin’ over the last handful of years. No longer a planet, its now considered a shitty ball of ice, barely capable of holding an orbit. Don’t feel too bad for it though, as it may prove to have the last laugh.
Mountain Dew Can Dissolve Mouse Carcasses. Says Who? Says Pepsi.
Some poor bastard is suing Pepsi, claiming that there was a dead mouse in his can. You know, assuming he is telling the truth and is actually just dumb enough to not notice himself pouring a mouse into his mouth. Pepsi’s retort? Bro, our soda can dissolve that shit. Wait, wut?
Starburst Galaxy IC 10 Is Pretty. Shiny.
Maybe it’s because it’s late as fuck as I’m typing this and it’s dark and I’m cold and I’m pretty sure my own Star has turned its back on me, but this image is striking a chord with me. I mean, goddamn. Look at that picture. Look at *all* those fucking stars.
Alfonso Cuaron Demanded No Makeup For The Actors In ‘Gravity’. Realism…?
Gravity. Alfonso Cuaron. I’ve heard those two muttered in the same sense for the past couple of years, and I have been patient! Patient, dammit. The movie is beginning to feel a bit real, and it is news stories like this that are driving that feeling home. Tenable news! About the shoot.
Variant Covers: Ring In The Year With Monsters, Dames and Defenders.
It’s the beginning of the fucking New Year, and I can’t think of a better way to drag the Year of Mayan Doom slithering into the world than with some comic books. Fuck if we like our myths and narratives and actions of creation, let us slather it in some sequential artwork and the occasional uncomfortably inappropriate latex-sliding-up-ass panel of horndog High Heaven.
Let us do it together in this Year of Advancing Oblivion. These are the comic books I’m feeling this week. Interested In. Intrigued By. What are you picking up?
Rumor: Patents Show Next ‘Xbox’ Will Also Be A DVR.
Microsoft is continuing to push their Console-As-Set-Top-Box. They have FiOS access currently, they’re adding Xfinity soon, and if these patents are being interpreted correctly, their next console will double as a DVR.
‘God of War IV’ Spotted On Composer’s Resume. Hot Topic Shirts Already Printing.
God of War III. Didn’t really do much for me. Aside from the whole “punching Zeus in the face a thousand times because I’m a blood-thirsty asshole” moment. According to a game composer’s resume, God of War IV is coming and this shouldn’t be terribly surprising. The series has made (according to my calculations drunkenly mashed out on a solar powered calculator) three-gajillion dollars.
China Is Sending Astronaut To The Moon. America? We Got Awesome Reality TV!
Now listen. I’m not totally bitter about the United States’ fucking shitty space program. But I’m totally bitter about the United States’ shitty space program. They can afford zillion dollar embassies in sandy places across the Earth, but they can’t send people to the Moon anymore. China? China can.
