Buy These Flippin’ Comics!!! (1.29.14) – Let’s Open Up the Mailbag!
Wednesday has arrived, and you guys all know what that means, right? Of course you do, or you wouldn’t be here. It’s comic book day, and man are there a ton of titles dropping right on our faces this week! And I’m here to tell you about ‘em. Meanwhile, CaffPow says I gotta do some housecleaning and start answering all the mail I’ve got piled up in the OL offices. To be honest I am more than worried that the mail might contain death threats, anthrax, or comped copies of Superior Spider-Man (you can’t make me read that shit! – I won’t!), but I’m going to suffer through it for you, my beloved fans. All six of you (hi Grandma!).
So let’s get to the comics and the fanmail and the lying cats and the space cowboys, mmkay?
A full list of this weeks comics can be found HERE.
‘HOTLINE MIAMI 2: WRONG NUMBER’ is dropping Q3 2014
Steel yourself, ya ding dongs. Steel yourself for the sequel to one of the most unforgiving, engrossing, masochistic little gems to be knifed into the side of gamers in years.
Tomorrow LOUIS C.K. is dropping his FIRST FEATURE FILM. Online. $5.
Apparently way back in the day Louis C.K. made a feature flick. 1998 to be precise. Tomorrow Night. It hasn’t seen the light of day, but the Mogul Posing as a Failure is correcting that. Tomorrow Afternoon. Get it? Cause of the title? I know, I know. I suck.
Cosplay: Latex-clad BLACK CAT is white hot during this winter freeze
That headline is only relevant if you live in the Northeastern arm of the Empire, but hey. I live here, I write the headline, so you can suck an egg. No! No, don’t go. I’m sorry. Here, have some glorious cosplay.
Anthony and Joe Russo are directing ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA 3.’
Well then! Winter Soldier ain’t dropped yet, but commerce and media production don’t balk at such things! The churn must churn, lest it not be…churning? Oh whatever. The minds behind Winter Soldier are coming back for Captain ‘Murica Round 3. And while I haven’t seen their first offering, if the trailers are any indication it’s going to blast the hair off my asshole with glee.
Wee: Scientific American is all “end the ban on psychoactive drug research!”
All across the land, jittery-handed folk are raising their hands! Hoping that Scientific American‘s pean directed at the virtues of psychoactive drug research is heeded! I mean, I mean…why not? I’ve Fringe. Walter Bishop has convinced me that psychoactives allow you to deny space, time, and plot coherence.
‘BIOSHOCK INFINITE: BURIAL AT SEA EPISODE’ Trailer: Fanservice and Half-Baked Nonsense
I…I still don’t know what the fuck happened in BioShock Infinite, let alone the first episode of Burial At Sea. Oh for the love of Christ put down the pie charts, the Excel spreadsheets, and your timeline. If you need to resort to that nonsense, the plot is fucked. Anyways, even with that said I’m opening up my fanboy gaping maw for Burial At Sea’s second episode. Why? Cause I’m a sucker. But most importantly? I bought the season pass ahead of time like an asshole.
Watch out! River of Hydrogen running amok in space
Goddamn — watch out! There’s a fucking River of Hydrogen running through space. Throwing haymakers and elbow dropping galactic clusters from the top of a cosmic turnbuckle. Sort of. I may be embellishing.
Maybe: JOSH GAD is number one choice for THE THING in ‘FANTASTIC FOUR’ reboot
I don’t know Josh Gad. Don’t know him! I’m sure he is a lovely guy. Or an awful guy. He’s probably a guy. Whatever quality of human Gad is, the animated fleshling (aren’t we all?) is apparently the number one choice to play The Thing in the new Fantastic Four flick.
Monday Morning Commute: L. Pena’s Universe
Welcome to the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! First, I’m goin’ to throw a bit of fiction your way — this week sees another entry in the ongoing adventures of Absalom Fabliaux. Then, I’ll guide you through some of the ways I’ll be entertaining myself through the workweek. Then, you pony up your own suggestions, making your presence known in the comments section.
Let’s do this!
