V for Vendetta
If we’re talking about comic books to movie trailors, please allow me to share a trailer that gets my erectile tissues fully engourged. If you’ve not read the comic, GO READ IT. It’s Alan Moore for chrissakes, you can’t ask for much more. Moore. This is definitely one on your must-read list. Along with 1984. You know, a book. That doesn’t have pictures.
X-Men 3 Trailer
I’m sure just about everyone has seen it, but in case you haven’t, you can find it here. It looks pretty interesting, actually. I was surprised that they seemed to get everyone back for their principle characters.
Penny Arcade: Attack of the Bacon Robots
At one point, I may or may not have philosophized that a truly blessed world was one in which a printed collection of Penny Arcade existed. Within this fictional universe, cults of idolaters worshipping the almighty Wang roamed the streets preaching their massive growth potential, while children who played violent videogames were no longer judged for their interests, and were left to murder, pillage, maim and sunder entirely uninhibited by the frightened masses.

October: What I'm looking forward to
In Comics: Infinite Crisis. I’m a total DC whore, and they’ve totally hooked me with all the lead in stuff, even if it varies drastically in quality. It’ll be good to see where it all has been heading, especially when they’ve got writers I enjoy like Judd Winnick and Geoff Johns onboard, but mostly looking forward to the direction put in by Grant Morrison… [Read the rest of this article]
The Inagural Post: Crisis on Infinite Earths vs. Infinite Crisis
To kick things off, I thought I’d post about one of the nerdier things I’ve done lately.
