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.

In A Move That Surprises Everyone
On February - 27 - 2010
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.
Someone Needs to Talk to Marvel
On January - 30 - 2010
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.
LL Pool J: The WORST Joke I Will Make Here

I’m not even sure how this cover applies to Siege, but it’s the variant cover to issue three. You know, the issue that Marvel offered the crazy deal of fifty DC Blackest Night issues for just one of these bad boys? Yes, the cover by J. Scott Campbell features Deadpool, and as we know right now, he has absolutely nothing to do with Siege at all in any way. As far as I know, while Siege is going on, Deadpool is going to be busy chilling with Hitman Monkey. So why this is happening, I have no idea.
A Drunk Man Speculates
On January - 22 - 2010
Mark Millar, creator of Wanted, Kick-Ass, and the yet to be released Nemesis is already talking about a Nemesis movie. On his website MillarWorld.tv message boards he drunkenly says he has been talking to a director that threw out the names Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis as potential stars. The unnamed director is supposedly friends with one of the mentioned actors.
Who is Kyle Reese?
On January - 22 - 2010
The short answer is a bad-ass. The longer answer is a bad-ass from the future who single-handedly stood up to an ‘unstoppable’ machine to protect the future of mankind and the woman he loved. That whole ‘woman he loved’ thing is a little weird, because if you think about it, according to whatever Terminator based timeline you want to follow Sarah Connor died of cancer either before Kyle was born or when he was a little kid. Ahh, time travel, how many crazy situations you can make.
Anyway, Zack Whedon, younger brother of ‘nerd-god’ Joss Whedon, is writing a 3-part series for Dark Horse with Kyle Reese as its protagonist. It’s going to be called simply “The Terminator” and will be about Kyle Reese’s life in the weeks leading up to him being sent back in time by John Connor.
The Hornet is Back, Damn You
On January - 21 - 2010
If you know a good deal about the movie deals that fell through with Kevin Smith in his earlier days as a filmmaker, you know that The Green Hornet was one of the films optioned to Smith. While Smith’s idea obviously fell through, there was still plenty of content from what Smith wrote in drafts to do Dynamite’s new Green Hornet series. And luckily, the book isn’t about to fall into the habit of other Smith books with unmet deadlines due to the scripts of all ten issues being in already. Now we can sit back and see a monthly comic written by Kevin Smith. Something I never thought I would see.
Marvel Plays Hardball?
On January - 20 - 2010
Marvel has come to retailers with a deal: trade us your unsold copies of Blackest Night and we’ll send you some variants of our comics. It could definitely be viewed that Marvel is attempting to drive a little bit of a wedge between the retailers and DC, because the idea that the stores would begin making these trades (which, at 50 DC comics to 1 Marvel variant seems kind of like a terrible deal) would seemingly imply that there could be some sort of an issue.
In A Move That Surprises No One
On January - 11 - 2010
So far I have all eight rings that they’ve released for Blackest Night. I look forward to getting a hold of the ninth ring they’ll pretty much have to release with their following event, Brightest Day. If you’ve looked up anything on the internet regarding fan opinion on Blackest Night, you know that people have been anticipating a reveal of a White Lantern pretty much since the beginning. I’m going to need to get that ring. An incomplete collection will not suffice. It just won’t.
It’s Galactus Time, Apparently
On January - 10 - 2010
Be sure to mark your calendars because April is set to be Galactus time. Meaning it’s time for someone, somewhere (seemingly from these recent ads, Leonardo da Vinci) to save some lives from that hungry, hungry man they call Galactus. How hungry is he? Well, he’s so hungry he could eat a planet. Probably yours. Nah, I’m just kidding. It’s definitely yours.
