Iron Man 3 Trailer

I realize that this has been already posted every else already, but I figure that I’d join in the fun anyway...



Wow, this totally looks cool, eh?

Harddee’s has The Amazing Spider-Man

OK kids, we now have it, even though Disney/Marvel Studios/Paramount Pictures stupidly decided to NOT have any fast food toy tie-ins to The Avengers, Sony has hooked up with Hardee’s for a set of toys to the new Amazing Spider-Man film.


Unfortunately for this Spider-Fan, the closest Hardee’s is nearly 200 miles away, so it looks like that we’ll be acquiring the Spider-Toy set via ebay. While this does make it easier (and often cheaper) to acquire, it does prevent us from having any of Hardee’s very enjoyable foodstufs.

In fact, the franchise ie already running some commercials touting their tie-in to the Spidey film.



Hardee’s also is running a game-code tie-in and has a spot promoting that as well.



As you know, Hardee’s (& sister company Carl’s Jr) have already had previous tie-ins to Spider-Man back in in 1990 & 1999, as well as to the very first Spidey flick in 2002.




Personally, we can hardly wait!

Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day

You read that right, kids, tomorrow, Saturday, May 5 is Free Comic Book Day, and you just know what that means! I'll be hitting every comic book shop I can find to help celebrate the day!

I'm going to be hitting a couple of the comic book shops in my area and doing what I can to help promote the event, and I suggest that you all do the same.

Tonight, however, I'm going to catch The Avengers at my local theater. I've been waiting for this one, and from everything I hear. It totally rocks the house!

I can hardly wait!

The Amazing Spider-Man

Yes, I know that everyone (me included) is chomping at the bit to see the Avengers film this weekend, but I just wanted to remind everyone that The Amazing Spider-Man is just two months away.



Yeah, I'm finally getting excited about this film (I was always more of a Gwen than an MJ fan)

Oh, and the link to the new trailer is right here.

Occupy Marvel


Jack Kirby either created or co-created much of Marvel, there is no doubt about this. There is also no doubt that his art set the house style for decades. Marvel has gotten filthy rich off the back of Jack and other artists and  writers over the years. It is time that they acknowledge this debt.

There are some calling for a boycott of Marvel of this summer’s Avengers movie. Writer/artist, and educator Steve Bissette feels that we should petition Marvel to give credit and royalties to Jack Kirby and his family. Others suggest that you don’t necessarily boycott Marvel films, but give a buck to the Jack Kirby Museum whenever you go see a film with Kirby characters in it.

We feel that whatever option you choose, you stand up to the corporate slugs at Marvel and demand that they give proper honor and respect to one of the men that not only helped found this entire industry, but who gave so much of his life to the company itself.

Avengers gone bad

We saw this the other day when a friend posted it, and well, it is so wrong that; Stan help us; we just had to post it.



Yeah, we felt the same way after watching it as well.

Official Index to the Marvel Universe V2 #8

As the Winter settles in on us, and we approach St. Nick and the year-end Holidays, I got another very cool (early) present. This one is issue # 8 of Official Index to the Marvel Universe: Avengers, Thor & Captain America. And yes, I checked the credit box in the front of the issue and apparently I’m still considered a contributor to the book.

I know that I’ve been contributing to the Thor entries, and that I contributed to a number of the Captain American entries, but, well, my collections of these tho characters get kind of thin as we close in on the present, so I don’t precisely know where my collections (and entries) stop.

Oh yeah, and I also recently wrote an article about the Indexing project that appeared on Examiner.com. Check it out and refer it to your friends. (I’m told that it was actually pretty good.

That’s it for tonight. Talk to you again on the morrow mates!

Forward into the past!

Now here is an interesting “pre-made” movie. Someone (who obviously had a large amount of time on their hands) imagined how an Avengers movie would have looked had it been assembled in 1952, rather than 60 years later in 2012.




Now, if you want to see a frame-by-frame breakdown of this film, check out this vversion of the vid

Now I can hardly wait for the “new” version.
