Rob Liefeld and Robert Kirkman Team-Up For Comic ‘The Infinite’
Robert Kirkman is best known these days for giving the world The Walking Dead. It is by no means his only work, but it is the name they drop whenever they reference him. Rob Liefeld is known for giving the world anatomically impossible works of Awesome, and human beings with cloven feet. Together, they’re going to give the world The Infinite.

Shane Black Says Iron Man 3 Is Going To Be A Tom Clancy-Esque Thriller.
Iron Man 2 was fun. It was also forgettable, and it strove so hard to integrate into a larger universe than it ended up getting lost in its own cross-marketing bullshit. Recently named director and apparent writer of the third flick, Shane Black, addressed all of this at the Omaha Film Festival this past weekend.
Deadpool Team-Up With Charlie Sheen Is Gnarly.
Since the Charlie Sheen meltdown began, I was pretty sure that the most obvious thing for him to do was a buddy action flick with Nic Cage. If you follow the Omega, you know why this should be stunningly apparent: Nic Cage is fucking amazing, and also fucking insane.
But I wasn’t thinking broad enough. Also awesome would be a Charlie Sheen team-up with motherfucking Deadpool. Thankfully, Ben Christian and Cory Smith dreamed where I slept.
Hit the jump for a gnarly combination of insanity.
Possible ‘MASS EFFECT 3’ concept art, featuring the Normandy and aliens.
This artwork by Robert Simons is either official Mass Effect 3 concept art, or absolutely fucking gorgeous fan art. What do you think, is this shit legit? It seems consistent with the concept art we’ve seen in the past, and it’s rather lovely.

OLOST – “Big Guns” From Last Action Hero
Arnold is cooler than the other side of the pillow in this one.
Side note: Last Action Hero was written by Shane Black, the man helming Iron Man 3. There’s nothing he can’t do.
Hungarian Star Wars Posters Are Surreal Mess.
Star Wars posters coming out of Hungary are a surreal mess. I’m not really certain what’s going on in them, and I’m actually pretty fucking stoked about it. It’s pretty much just Pyramid Darth Vader holding it down in the desert or some shit.

Solar Eclipse From Space Shows Moon Reversing Direction. Wut?
This video of the solar eclipse is rad for several reasons. For starters, you can see some pretty righteous magnetic activity on the Sun’s surface. The Sun is spittin’ like a mad dragon, fiery hotness! Also, it features an optical illusion wherein the Moon appears to enter the scene, and then somehow, reverse direction.

Images & Words – Joe the Barbarian #8
[images & words is the comic book pick-of-the-week at OL. equal parts review and diatribe, the post highlights the most memorable/infuriating/entertaining book released that wednesday]
Congratulations, Joe the Barbarian! Not only did you beat Jonah Hex and Sweet Tooth in this week’s triple-threat comics cage match, but with your final issue you’ve become one of my all-time favorite limited series. You’ve earned a spot in my Best Of list and, if there’s any damn justice in the world, comics history as well.
So how did you do it, Joe? How did you never tire while running for eight issues over the course of a year? Brandishing a tale of a hallucinating youth in the midst of insulin-shock, you easily could’ve devolved into incoherent drivel. Your parallel narratives (wandering through a house looking for sugar and traversing the most hidden recesses of childhood imagination) could have slugged each other out: DOUBLE KO!!! And yet, with each appearance you became more effective.
More affective.
So how did you do it? It was, beyond a coffee-stained shadow of a doubt, that intangible, unquantifiable quality for which all art should aspire. It’s that warm little nagging at the forefront of excitement, the pinch on your ass that makes you giddy, that informs the reader/viewer/listener that the artists at work care. Necessarily, this quality defies definition and rears itself only in terms of gut-instinct. But it’s undeniable. Unshakable. Motherfucking unstoppable.
For lack of a better word, let’s call this quality heart.
‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Plot Points Leak.
No seriously maybe these are legitimate plot points for The Dark Knight Rises. Pinky swear. Maybe. Are you interested in the latest possible quasi-spoilers? They’re more of a general premise than anything else. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
