04.19.08 by Widge @ 2:27 am  For those of you at New York Comic-Con who enjoy a bit of alcohol, here's a brief addendum to our previous list of comic-inspired drinks that Doc and I conspired on. If you try these, let us know how it goes. The Spider Jerusalem. The highest proof liquor in the liquor cabinet, plus a handful of random pills from the medicine cabinet. The Filthy Assistant. The beer you chase the Spider with. The Quitely. The drink you're allergic to and it makes your face swell up. The Hitch. The drink that takes forever to show up. In all fairness, when it finally does arrive, it tastes great. The Liefeld. A drink so strong it makes you feel like you don't have feet anymore. The Alan Moore. Absinthe and whiskey. Served with a large snake. With a button of peyote in the bottom. Of the snake. Categorized as: Comics

04.15.08 by Widge @ 2:52 am  Comics Reporter apparently invited folks to "Name Five Characters From Comics That Should Have a Mixed Drink Named After Them; Provide A Recipe For One Of The Drinks." Prof. Gallaher's list was here and he asked what his readers' would be. I came up with ten. Recipes for every one. Because I couldn't stop myself. I don't drink anymore. But I probably would have had every one of these during my college years. Ah, good times. The Midnighter. Coffee, three espressos, kahlua. Serve moderately warm. Categorized as: Comics

04.10.08 by Widge @ 1:29 am  Great find from Again With the Comics, where he's posted a Steve Ditko story from 1960's Tales of Suspense #8. In this story, a green shapechanging alien from the planet Deth comes to Earth to take down America so his buddies can invade. Apart from making a lot more sense than the latest Skrull onslaught, it's a story in which more happens in five pages than did in the entire first issue of Secret Implosion. And yes, the Ditko art is really excellent. Categorized as: Comics

04.09.08 by Widge @ 1:33 pm I would love for somebody to come up to me at New York Comic-Con and offer me a Marvel Skrull mask so I could be part of the "Secret Implosion." I see the exchange going like this: ME: "No, thanks. I'm not a Skrull." MARVEL STOOGE: "Ah, but who can you trust? ARE YOU SURE?" ME: "Yes, I'm sure. Reed Richards checked me out and told me so. And in my reality he's not a fucking idiot and would know." Feel free to use that or some variation if you need to.  Categorized as: Comics
