As you have noticed today, we haven’t posted anything new. There is a reason for that. Early this morning, at 1:30 am, I got the horrible news that my good friend David Rivera had died Tuesday night after being hit by a suspected DUI driver. David was the biggest comic book fan I know, and a huge DC Comics supporter. […]

Disney and 20th Century Fox are apparently in negotiations: so that Fox can get an extension on the timeline for their Daredevil do-over, and for several HUGE characters to go back to Marvel, so that they can be used in the core Marvel/Disney films. What characters? GALACTUS! SILVER […]
Most people think Marv is crazy. He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century. He’d be right at home on some ancient battlefield swinging an axe into somebody’s face. Or in a Roman arena, taking his sword to other gladiators like him… Mickey Rourke, who has been everywhere in the last few years, is reprising […]
No longer the armored Avenger…no…Iron Man is now the Iconic Avenger. Which fits as his armor is as every bit iconic as Captain America’s shield and Thor’s hammer. Marvel.com posted an interview today with new series writer Kieron Gillen, where he talks about Iron Man, the man behind the mask, and what’s in store for old shell head. Plus, a […]
(Photo: NASA TV) Curiosity didn’t kill the cat…yet! A big THUMBS UP to NASA and all those behind the Mars Rover Curiosity, which reportedly has made it safely to the red planet, Mars.

Now I’m homeless and I’m freezing like the morgue… Only thing keeping me alive is the Lord… The 1996 classic from the bay area heavyweight E-40 is one of the realest songs I ever heard. I mean of ALL music, not just rap. If you relate to this song, then you know exactly what I mean by real. Rap these […]

Time to be recalled. So, this week’s big movie theater release is Total Recall. I’ll be checking out this weekend and doing a review, but if you already saw it, what did you think? On par with the original? Better? Worst? Leave a comment and let us know!
I love the diversity of Image Comics. I know, there are people that are die hard loyal fans to the big two only: I feel bad for those people. They missed the modern day classic 27, the high octane blood-fest known as Luther Strode, the space faring epic in Saga, and that’s just naming a fraction of it all. Reason […]
