Never Not A Nerd

Natalie Dee is responsible for all of those weird, cutesy-ass drawing of cupcakes and monkeys and stuff.  The ones you see on t-shirts and all sorts of different peoples’ web pages.  On the MyBook and the FaceSpace, or whatever you call it nowadays.  And I say cutesy-ass with no disrespect, in fact it’s her art style that adds to the humor of her daily drawings.  Every day of the week, Natalie Dee, a mastermind over at Sharing Machine, does some very good work with what must be ease.  I mean, come on, she does a piece every day.  She’s got talent.

I meant to post this when i first heard about it a few days ago, but I forgot, so I’m sorry. This is an idea I just don’t think I can get behind. A company called RTC23 is making LCD and LED TV’s with Marvel characters on the bezel.  Not only will the character/characters of your choice be on the bezel, but every time you turn on the TV you will see an image of them for approximately 8 seconds. What if you’re watching something really good, shift in your seat, sit on your remote, and accidentally turn your TV off? By the time you get back to the action because your TV showed you the standard 8 second picture of the Marvel character/s you love you could have missed something important.

Remember how I said Dr. McNinja’s colorist Anthony Clark had his own webcomic?  Well here we go.

Anthony’s site is Nedroid, where he does comics about two best friends Reginald and Beartato.  I like to assume that a Beartato is made when you take a potato and you honey roast it.  Hard.  Like, with intensity and stuff.  But yeah, the two are close friends who go on adventures and spend a lot of time just learning about things.  Mainly because they know so very little.

Whoever had Sinestro in their “Who Becomes the White Lantern?” pool must have made bank this week, because I’ll bet they were the only one in that category.

I don’t know what to say, really.  Kick-Ass was released in hardcover last week and I’m just not sure.  The concept of the story is a simple one, and it’s one we’ve seen many times before: why don’t people in real life try to be superheroes?  Well, it’s because they’d be killed rather quickly, that’s why.  Fortunately, that’s something Millar opts not to ignore in his story.  But still, the main problem I seem to have with this story is that there’s no one actually likable throughout (with the exception of Kick-Ass’ father, and that’s only because he’s barely in it).  Therefore, let’s take a look at the Yays and Nays of the story before the movie is released.

Okay.  So you’ve been reading Garfield for quite a while.  Since childhood, let’s say.  It’s getting pretty old, right?  The same basic elements seem consistent throughout: the cat kicks the dog off the table, eats pasta and ridicules his owner.  Ah, Jon Arbuckle, you poor, miserable bastard.  Your life really is a monotonous string of torment with that fat, lazy cat as your only companion.  I mean, is it any wonder Liz doesn’t want to date him?  Women aren’t too into the dude with a bad perm that hangs out with his cat all day.  Where was I?  Oh yes.  We’re all familiar with Garfield and how boring he can seem.  But what if there was no Garfield?

I felt like taking a look at something a little different this week by observing a limited story entitled Josh & Imp.  A story by Jon Bernhardt and art by Diana Nock, it’s about a young man named Josh who meets the teenage sidekick of his city’s Batman-like superhero.  Josh and Imp are out on a date, exploring the details of their relationship and the problems that comes along with trying to be intimate with a masked super-heroine.  Secret identities are tough, especially when it comes to trying to express one’s feelings.

Not all webcomics are drawings of cheap shots taken at video games.  Some of them aren’t even drawings at all.  Some of them are photographs of blackboards and a guy in a lab coat.  Dante Shepherd’s Surviving the World gives the reader advice on important things that will permit them to keep on going in life.  He throws on his coat and Red Sox cap and does his best to ensure that we’re paying close attention to the things that are most vital in the world.  I mean, when you stop to think that someone would take the time to keep us up on key knowledge like this, we should definitely take the time to give his comic a look.

I love me some awkward things, and Pictures for Sad Children certainly fits that description.  John Campbell writes and draws an awkward webcomic exploring death, confusion, odd social trends, human and inhuman interaction, and confusion.  He does this in the most peculiar way possible, but doesn’t manage to alienate the reader.  At least, that’s been my experience with it.

This needs to stop.  Or at least slow down.  Marvel has recently unveiled over twenty variant covers to different Marvel titles.  In wanton disregard for the idea that they’re beating this into the dirt, they’ve pushed the idea that “everybody loves more Deadpool” and refuses to let up.  I suppose after the zombie variants and all the other different themes they’ve been trying out, Deadpool was just a matter of time, but this needs to stop.  Soon.
