Catwoman, She-Hulk, Wonder Woman and Storm Team-Up To Beat Breast Cancer.
There’s a new initiative designed to promote breast cancer awareness that is centered around women from comic books. I don’t know how effective it’ll be, since I imagine the advertisements just giving fanboys chubbies, but it is worth a try.
60 Arrested In Canadian ‘Project Marvel’ Gang Investigation. Take The Power Back!
Sixty people were snagged Tuesday in a series of raids across Canada, picking up a bunch of gang members who were using aliases taken from Marvel superheroes. Oh reality.
We’ve Seen The ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Prologue. Heavy Breathing, Hurting Groins.The Glory.
It’s a beautiful world sometimes. Tonight the Rendar and myself swung into a sneak preview of the Dark Knight Rises prologue that’s set to run before Mission Impossible: Phoenix Wunderblast. Previewed that shit for free at the local IMAX duplex and they even threw in a t-shirt. The Lords of Kobol have chosen to smile, and I’ve nuzzled my face in their glowing bosoms.
Monday Morning Commute: Stay on Target
After I punch out on December 23rd, I’m going to have the luxury of not returning to work for ten days. By my calculations, that’s nearly a week and a half. Do you know many comics will be read, movies watched, beers imbibed, and high-fives delivered in that time? Certainly enough to keep my face smile-plastered and spirit sky-bound.
Needless to say, I’m champing at the bit.
But alas, I must first survive a treacherous two-week stint of work. Additionally, these workweeks happen to fall on the end of the month, which is always the most hectic time around the `ole office. Tack on the various projects I’ve undertaken, and I’m bound to be one busy little prole-monkey rummaging about the engine room of Spaceship Earth’s compartment of Consumer-Cultures.
Fortunately, the Omnidimensional Creator has been kind enough to allow me to guide you through the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! Join me as I display the various bits of art and mind-rot I’ll be using to prevent a total mental meltdown. After you feast your eyes on what I’ll be entertaining myself with, hit up the comments section and share your ideas of a fun time.
Okay, hide the women and children — it’s time to summon the Entertainment Daemons!

JMS Posts ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Sales Chart After His Exit. Internet Explodes.
I’ve never understood the J. Michael Straczynski (JMS) rapture. I thought his Amazing Spider-Man stories started off decent enough, spiraled into banality. I thought Rising Stars started off well, spiraled into banality. Then there’s his Superman Walks A Lot story! This weekend JMS ignited a firestorm when he posted a sales graph of Amazing’s sales after he left and then was all like “What, I just thought it was curious.”
