I’m not going to lie, today was a very difficult day for me. I went to Wizard World Toronto this afternoon. As my friends know, this was a huge deal for me. As a massive geek, this would officially be my first BIG comic convention! In the early and mid-nineties I had been to the [...]
1. Thanks go to to Topless Robot this week for sharing the greatest improv show of all time. Edmonton based improv crew Rapid Fire Theatre recently put on a Hallowe’en performance as classic DC comic characters. Not just dressed as the characters mind you, but completely in character. Basically it’s the greatest/nerdiest improv performance of [...]
1) You had me at Decepticon with pom-poms. The above video marks everything that is right with the internet. You know what everyone? I think we’re going to be okay, we’re going to be okay. *Cue California by Phantom Planet*
2) While we’re talking about parodies of anime, Grand Theft Auto has taken anime parodies to [...]
1) Unbelievably rad video above is “The Golden Age of Video” by Ricardo Autobahn. It’s uber catchy and quite well done. Some great samples of some epic lines through film and television; double points for using “Lisa needs braces” and “I want to go to there.” You can check out more of Ricardo Autobahn’s work [...]
1) Recently I’ve been seeing alot of classic comics which have been amalgamated with Marvel or DC characters. As it turns out they have all come from artist Ryan Dunlavey who has done quite a bit of work with Wizard and Toyfare magazines. I absolutely love the clever Kravenball piece above, however you can check [...]
1) Ridiculously cute Master of the Universe (He-Man) art can be found at Stephane Imbert’s Deviant Art site here. All of your favourite characters are there, including Chibi-Roboto, Chibi-Stinkor and Chibi-Snout Spout!
2) Who said super villains can’t be funny? Dr. Doom has recently taken up standup comedy. Some people should just stick to their day [...]
1) Transformers comes out tonight! Is there any better way to celebrate than purchasing a Ravage USB key? No, there is definitely not. Ravage is right up there with my other favourites flash drives: The Resident Evil Chainsaw and the guy who replaced his lost finger with a USB drive.
2) Megan Fox is a total [...]
1) Brother Voodoo is getting his own series!!! This is probably the greatest thing I’ve heard about comics in the last few years. Brother Voodoo – or should I say, Doctor Voodoo – will be getting a new title this fall called “Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatural.” I am beyond excited and should read [...]
I believe I can credit being a modern day geek to a single source. Don’t get me wrong, I watched cartoons like everyone else; unlike everyone else, a single source in the late 80’s started me down a horrible dark spiral of which I never returned. A single twenty-two minute episode of television aired one [...]
Warren Ellis is a critically acclaimed writer who is very well known within the comic crowd. His comics typically garner high praise and he has written books throughout the industry. Some of his titles includes Transmetropolitan, Planetary and my personal favourite, The Authority. He is a great writer and his books frequently are written for [...]
