take that, Clor!

Thor movie plot revealed (via Daily Pop)

a new Marvel movie every year leading up to 2012's The Avengers. fantastic! i expect Loki's machinations to partially lead to the formation of the Avengers (since Samuel Jackson/Nick Fury has been doing the rounds already). will we see the Warriors Three though? no mention of them at all.

Teabaggers hate Captain America!!! (update)

(from the earlier post about this brewing controversy)

think about it, comic fans: the medium now matters a lot more because political movements - we can link them to the conservative right wingers, yes? the ones who used to excoriate comics as the devil's work that fried our kids' brains - are now concerned about their "portrayal" in comic books as they know it reaches a generation of potential voters. suddenly comics are not just "kid stuff" anymore, and the Teabag Party is protesting Glenn Beck caricatures and racist/hater portrayals and demanding more than apologies. did any of you white farts apologize to the American people for your policies and hijacking of the national image during the last 10 years?


or they're just reverting to type, all along.

comics on the iPad

yes, it looks gorgeous, but the only clear advantage is accessibility and the elimination of that trek to the shop. bottom line, you're still going to spring for the device and the app, regardless of whether you are going to pay for some sort of subscription, or (cough, cough) otherwise. what happens if your iPad suddenly explodes? do you have any rights to the comics you already purchased? am sure it will be a physical file inside the device - it would be stupid for it to be stored online and claim you "own" it.

its a nice shiny toy, and it would be awesome to be reading comics with it. long-term for the voracious reader/collector, its too early.

plus, all those signature hogs/collectors who have no goal except to profit from the books via eBay (you know who you are), won't have anything tangible to have the creators sign on now, would they?

well, since this country trots out beauty pageant contestants at age 5, and their role models are reality show stars and quasi-celebs behaving badly ... it kinda fits then.

battle for the web

No, No, No, No and No ... that's five NOs to all these choices. i don't have anyone in mind, but sure as hell these five do not cut it as Peter Parker.


/belatedly realizes that "no, no, no, no, no" is a Shia LeBouf catchphrase.
