Frank Darabont Steps Down As Showrunner For ‘The Walking Dead’, There Goes That.
Frank Darabont was the single reason I had faith that the second season of The Walking Dead could rally from the pit of utter nonsense and trash that the first season ended in. Now he’s gone. Abandon hope all ye who enter.
Variant Covers: Little Boys, Tight Shorts, and Alan Moore.
Another week, another batch of Variant Covers. The comic book column where I give a cursory glance at release lists and tell you what I’m interested in. I encourage you to share your own most desired of picks, cause I have poor taste, a limited attention span, and I’m always looking to try something new.

Marvel is bringing back their Comics for Comics campaign, this time waging war against Flashpoint. Retailers can strip covers from unsold copies of Flashpoint and exchange them fora wowie-kazowie rare Fear Itself #6 variant by Ed McGuinness.
BioWare Hopes Old Republic Lasts Decades. Good Luck With That.
I’m going to let you in on a secret. Something inside of me tells me that SWTOR isn’t going to be good. I don’t know why, I just have the suspicion. The emphasis on voice acting and storylines? Give me grind quests and fucking dungeons! No, I have no idea. BioWare doesn’t share my skepticism. Maybe cause they made it or something. They think it’s going to last for decades. Decades.
Director Hired To Adapt Palahniuk’s ‘Invisible Monsters’. Gulp.
Chuck Palahniuk is up there on the pantheon on my favorite writers. He sits alongside Vonnegut, Gibson, Diaz and Ellis, forming some sort of supergroup. Invisible Monsters is my favorite book by him. The news that they’re finally moving ahead with an adaptation of it has got me suffering a bit of the ball sack tightening.
Search Engine Terms: Rapture Comes From BioShock Boning.
[Search Engine Terms come from an app in the Word Press dashboard. It tells you the terms that people are using in google to lead to your site. Most of ours are ultra depraved and horrible. And amusing to sick people like me.]
I wish I had some idea why BioShock Porn is currently a hot topic among people on the internet. There’s been a run on dudes and dudettes needing their fill of Big Daddy drilling or something. Whatever the case, it’s been the lead search term bringing people to the site for the past two days.
The Dark Knight Rises Trailer As Done By Insane Taiwanese Animators.
Next Media Animation is responsible for a constant flow of absurd depicitions, but they’ve outdone themselves here. Their own take on The Dark Knight Rises trailer features: Batman puking in love with Catwoman, Bane beating Batman’s ass in a Wal-Mart after Batman rings him up, and more. It’s magical. Insane. Insanely magical.
Planetary Nebula Kn 61 Looks Like A Cosmic Soap Bubble.
Enlarge. | Via.
Check out Kn 61. It’s a planetary nebula that looks like those soap bubbles you can blow with those magical wands they sell at convenience stores and the like. Perhaps the Omnidimensional Creator had a son or daughter who was bored and it gave them the most enormous of soap bubble matter spewing wands. And thus Kronberger 61 was born. Or maybe it’s the remnants of gas that was sent into space by a dying star. I think I like my explanation more.
THIS WEEK ON True Blood: Me and the Devil.
If the goal of a television show is to keep you watching, then this week’s episode of True Blood succeeded. It had that sort of “son of a bitch it’s over?” cliffhanger ending that makes you regret your inability to pierce time and space with your Dong of Atemporality. If only I can run fast enough, piercing the thin skein that keeps us transcending space and time.
