07.22.07 by Widge @ 1:47 am  Dan Goodsell recently painted up a Mr. Toast in Outer Space lunchbox. It's even cooler than my Night of the Living Dead lunchbox. I love every side of it, especially the one with Mr. Toast brandishing a ray gun. Awesome. Categorized as: Comics

07.11.07 by Widge @ 11:26 pm  Yeah, I posted it to del.icio.us, but the more I think about it, the more I think it is freaking genius. Comic books: they take even the cute and wonderful things in life and make them lethal radioactive mutants. That's why we love them. Categorized as: Comics

07.11.07 by Widge @ 5:13 am Recently we all found ourselves surprised when Reed Richards cloned Thor and wound up getting a fellow hero killed, all a part of Marvel's ludicrous Civil War event. We all thought Reed was acting terribly out of character, but Chris at Invincible Super-Blog has posted some bits that make me wonder:  Categorized as: Comics

07.04.07 by Widge @ 4:24 am  Previously, this Instructables user told you how to make your own Green Lantern ring in a cast sterling silver verson. Now they've gone a step further and given you the info on how to make it in resin and even make it in translucent resin so you can embed an LED in the thing. Sweet! Categorized as: Comics

07.04.07 by Widge @ 2:31 am  Kubrick's 2001 was adapted in 1976 by the artist you would immediately want to adapt anything huge, sprawling and cosmic: Jack Kirby. I know this brands me a heretic every time, but 2001 just isn't one of my favorite films. It has some great moments in it, but like a lot of Kubrick, I find it rather flawed. Go ahead, call me names. Everyone does. There was not only the standard movie adaptation comic, but a series that followed as well. For more info on this, you can check out some articles and sketches here, which were apparently provided to that site by our buddies at TwoMorrows. Update: The scans have been taken down. If you Google Image search for "Jack Kirby 2001," however, you can find some still. Categorized as: Comics

06.08.07 by Widge @ 5:32 am   Say what you want about Civil War. I know I have. But there is something to be said for seeing the (temporarily) late Captain America in limited edition bust form. They're limited to 2000 in number and they're a $50 value. Well, here's the drill. We've partnered up with Diamond Select Toys yet again and there's one of these busts in it for you if you win. Now, I'll say this here and make it loud and clear because we're doing something different on this contest, just like the last contest with Diamond Select. Part of the deal is by entering, your e-mail address and name will be given to Diamond Select Toys so they can add you to their marketing list. They won't sell or redistribute them, they just want them for themselves. That's a fair cop. But there's no opt-out. If you're not comfortable with that, just flat don't enter. Cool? Cool.

06.02.07 by Widge @ 1:20 pm This is from the cover of New Avengers/Transformers #2. What the hell is this about?  Did I miss the part where Wolverine was suddenly possessed by Black Raazer? Or did Bouncing Boy cross over to the Marvel Universe while I wasn't looking? Categorized as: Comics
