The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Most Important Comic Adaptations
In celebration of me attending my first ever Comic Con this weekend, I figured I may as well tie my High 5 into the category of comics. Problem is, I’m a comic lackey. I’m not out there discovering new comics; I’m not hip to the indy artists or things that have buzz. When it comes to comics, I do what I’m told. Oh I have to read Preacher, ok. Oh, Planetary is awesome? Sure I’ll read it. I have to read Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns, ok, I’ll buy them. So then how do I connect my shitty poser comic geek self to the world of the REAL comic geeks? Through movies of course!
What I have here are my top 5 important comic movies. Don’t agree? Then come and argue the point with me at Boston Comicon. I’ll be at the 5 & Dime Table both days.

Pseudo PS4 Gets Built Based On RUMORED SPECS, Subsequent Results Worthless.
It must be fun to rock out at a gaming magazine. You can just do things to…do them. The crew at Official PlayStation Magazine UK built a “PS4” based off of the rumored specs, ran a few games on it, and then dismissed the results as meaningless. Wait — what?

Ultra-Absorbent “NANOSPONGE” Could Be Used To Fix The Worst Oil Spills. Yeah Science!
