Brandon Graham gives STORM the quality Mohawk she deserves.
Ah, this is so delicious. Brandon Graham posted a picture he drew of Storm on his tumblr. Like all people of awesomeness, he imagines the Weather Wielder with her mohawk.

‘LEGO MARVEL SUPER HEROES’ Footage and Game Informer cover. Wut, wut.
The Lego Gaming Games series makes a good variety of people wet. Not me. However, I will surf the excitement this trailer and cover provoke in those in love with the titles, using them to conjure a portal to a dimension where I get to wear Jennifer Lawrence’s underwear. While she plays the banjo for me.
Guillermo del Toro moving forward with DC COMICS MOVIE featuring Swamp Thing and Constantine.
Oh, Gilly. This is one of the things you’re doing instead of Episode VII? I mean, don’t get me wrong. I think this is pretty cool. Actually, sort of really fucking awesome. And yet, I can’t help but wish it was lower on your hierarchy of worthwhile projects. Or Star Wars was higher. Eh. Whatever!
VALVE and Xi3 officially announce the STEAM CONSOLE or whatever.
Out, out, out of the shadows! Valve and some company I haven’t heard of (but you may have because you’re not ignorant like me) Xi3 have announced the oft-rumored Steambox. I don’t think it’s actually called that. But let us hang onto that easy to remember moniker for now. Cyeah!
Nvidia reveals ‘PROJECT SHIELD’, an Android handheld gaming platform.
Nvidia has thrown their chips into the handheld gaming market with Project Shield. Pretty extreme name, man! If you want to get people to take your shit seriously, pop the word “Project” before it. I don’t have any use for handheld consoles in general, so Project ATTAX!!! doesn’t do much for me. I mean sure it seems neat that it has a huge unwieldy controller. I could stuff it into my jeans and quietly imagine it looks like I have two dong-tips. Wait. Now that you mention it, this sounds pretty awesome.
Warren Ellis on DIGITAL COMICS and the walled-in gardens.
Over at Robot 6, Chris Arrant has a pretty gnarly interview with Warren Ellis. They talk about a variety of topics, but the one that caught my attention was Ellis’ exposition on the state of digital comics. Specifically, my Master touched on the uncomfortable fact about services such as comiXology. Aside from its insipid name.
MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE: Blackmail the Universe
Bask in the glory of Dave Mustaine’s melting face. It runs down his skull, slowly dripping onto his kevvy metal t-shirt. Despairingly, he rips the t-shirt off before it stains his perpetual undergarment. He forever wears a “Kill Em All!” tee that he stole back in 1983. Every night before he goes to bed, he rubs its fabric between his fingers. Praying to both Alex Jones and Whatever God He Believes In That Year, he utters one phrase over and over. “Please call me, Jimmy Hetfield. Please call me.” The sheer repetition of the hours-long nightly prayer dims into a dull drone, people throughout his underground bunker (the End is Coming) wishing that either Hetfield would call him, or he would go to sleep. They care not which, and they can’t express either. You see, throughout the compound Davey’s prayer is blared through loudspeakers on every wall. These same loudspeakers are live microphones. The peons must follow their Saviour (or employer, okay) in his prayers. Over and over again, they pray. Hoping to channel their extended energy in a way that has never, ever worked. The answering of a prayer through sheer mass of plea.
Uh, what? Anyways, this is MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE. Where we talk about the arts we’re enjoying this week. Guys and gals, let us party.
Disney introducing ‘MAGICBANDS’ to track movements of attendees. Big Mousey Brother!
Disney, whatever! You say that you want to introduce MagicBands to track your attendees under the guise of thereby customizing their park experience. Hogwash! You’re collating date and funneling it directly to the Martian Cabal Illuminati led by Bill Gates and the corpse of FDR. Just what do the human-cows enjoy whilst in their gated community? What will they tolerate? How many pieces of $25 pizza will they buy? I’m onto you.
Michael Keaton wanted his third BATMAN flick to be like ‘BATMAN BEGINS.’
I can’t really enjoy any pre-Nolan Batman flick outside of the original Keaton ditty. Not anymore. Alas. Here is a bit of trivia though, since trivia is fun. Knowing it makes you feel big and strong. And virile. Or fertile. Yeah. Yeah! So here we go. Micheal Keaton wanted his third Bat-Movie to be an origin story.
