Not Muhammad. * I wasn't sure people really made that mistake, but it appears they do. * someone's looking to save the US courts the cost of future David Coleman Headley trials. * finally, this article suggests that Christopher Hitchens is making a big deal of some state department statement that expresses regret over the insult caused by the Danish Cartoons in a lecture-circuit stump speech on free expression. That just seems silly to me, although Hitchens…

  • Why Can't We Wait To Process The Success Or Failure Of Comics-Related Projects?

    Tom Spurgeon
    9 Feb 2010 | 2:00 pm
    There's an article up on New York Times this morning about the print runs for graphic novel efforts focused on successful prose efforts from Stephanie Meyer and Janet Evanovich. Something about these articles hits me as funny, however. While I prefer this kind of article to those about celebrities doing comic books, as there's at least a print run that's resulted from these projects and with the celebrity comics it's generally just an assumption of copies sold or status transfered that usually doesn't materialize, I'm still a bit weirded out by folding a success/failure mechanism into the PR…

    A wastewater treatment plant purification robot. He looks a little old, but he can control water at will, and launch high-powered water-projectiles. He is quite a clean freak, so it is no wonder that he volunteers his time to blast away graffiti from neighborhood walls. Pump Man can control water at will. His “Water Shield” can block Mega Man’s attack! This week's Robot Master fan art challenge is Pump Man!

    8 Feb 2010 | 3:41 pm
    First up is ScrewAttack's Destin talking up the raw awesomeness of the TvC's Lost Planeteer: the PTX-40A and his (apparently) unbeatable chainsaw hand. Not just any chainsaw hand either--that saw is bigger than the entire body of most of his opponents (and you thought getting hit with a regular chainsaw was bad enough). And just in case you think the PTX-40A really is unbeatable, here's one of the best PTX players in America, but unfortunately for him he's facing his character's worst nightmare: a Tekkaman/Tekkaman Blade tag team (the "Tekkamen"). Tekkaman is the PTX's natural enemy, and T.

Bioware's unsparing assessment of their first go-round has resulted in a taut-ass sky-journey that spends hour after hour cinching itself around your throat.

    It seems some people were offended or confused by Friday's comic. They felt that I was saying or implying that polyamory is somehow not as serious as monogamy, or that polyamorous folks don't enter into committed relationships, or something. That couldn't possibly be further from my intent! What I was going for in that comic (and this one) is that the specific situation Tai finds herself in (casual physical relationships with people she cares about but doesn't necessarily LOVE) is unfulfilling for her personally, and she feels like she'd rather just have one person to focus on. In no way did…

    When I heard about the premise of this restaurant-set manga, I expected that I’d enjoy it, but unfortunately, it’s one of the rare missteps of the Viz Signature line for me. Nicoletta was abandoned at a young age by her mother, who went off to marry a man who didn’t want children. Now, Nicoletta has come to Rome to confront her and tell him the truth. Her unknowing stepfather owns a restaurant staffed entirely by older men in glasses. When one, Claudio, is kind to her, she wonders whether she’s in love with him. Things are complicated by Nicoletta’s mother…

And really, where else can you go? There’s only one of the seven great robots, Epsilon, left on earth, and in this volume, he has his showdown with Pluto, the grand villain of the piece. Of course, since you’re created by Naoki Urasawa, there’s a lot more to his motivation than that, and the thoughts you raise about the nature of humanity, definitions of good and evil, and which actions are…

    So a lot of people are asking me if the Hopscotch app that Brent is using in our current storyline is real. No it is not. Hopscotch is a fictional parody of apps like Foursquare and Gowalla. Specifically though it’s a parody of how checking into a certain location multiple times with Foursquare elects you that location’s mayor. Yes. I am the mayor of my local Starbucks. Yes I told the Baristas. And yes, they do call me “your honor.” Before you find me on foursquare, let me warn you in advance I’ll probably ignore your friend request. I’m new to foursquare…

Anyway my brain has been preoccupied with the business end of all this TopatoCo business; there is just so much stuff to work on and a lot of it is just internet bureaucracy. Plus my brain has been wanting to make more Wigu comics, as I said yesterday. But there are some problems with that too! As some of you know, I don't actually own the URL "wigu.com".

    9 Feb 2010 | 7:21 am
    "The Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan is making room for another superhero franchise — none other than the Man of Steel himself, Superman. A report from Deadline Hollywood states that Warner Bros. has tasked Nolan with a "godfather" role in shepherding a "Superman" relaunch following the poorly received "Superman Returns." The site also reiterated its report from yesterday that Nolan is currently working on the third "Batman" screenplay with David Goyer and brother Jonah Nolan. According to the report, Nolan isn't likely to direct the new "Superman" film, which won't be a followup to…

Later this year, Cage gets another opportunity as Damon Macready — better known as the vigilante Big Daddy — in Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s "Kick-Ass." "I always fantasized about what would happen if you could become a superhero," Cage told Empire Magazine (the text of the interview is posted on Comicbookmovie.com ). "As a child I was Kick-Ass.

    As close as Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale, and any other superhero director/actor team might have worked together to develop their successful franchises, the “Deadpool” flick seems likely to be the most collaborative of the genre. As fans know, star Ryan Reynolds has been the driving force behind getting the movie made — and as the project’s writers recently confirmed to us, they do indeed speak with him everyday. “We’re outlining it pretty seriously right now,” explained Rhett Reese who — along with partner Paul Wernick — is red-hot…

    Just a day or two after we asked readers to pick their favorite actor to play Peter Parker in Marc Webb's upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot, the InterWebs were buzzing with word that "Percy Jackson" actor Logan Lerman could be up for the role. While Lerman seems to have pulled back a bit in his Spidey talk since then, there was no shortage of readers willing to add his name to the pool of potential webslingers via write-in vote — but he still fell short of the mark when the polls closed. With 27 percent of the total vote, Webb's "500 Days of Summer" actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt was chosen by…

    I remember an extensive preview in Amazing Heroes catching my attention for this graphic novel (by Kevin Juaire, David Campti, Ron Lim, Michael Whitherby, and others) and subsequent series. In a way, it was kind of a proto-Astro City, throwing the reader into a generational superhero saga with just a touch of poignancy and a focus on how superheroes and "the real world" interact. This initial installment focuses on Victor, one of the last original heroes still active, and his encounter with the villainous son of a former comrade. Here's a quick shorthand sequence of how Victor experienced the…

    Back in December of 2008, there was a fun little rumor that Tim Robbins would be showing up in Iron Man 2 as Tony Stark's father, but sadly that was just not to be. Now comes word that Robbins has actually been cast in another fatherly comic book movie role; the actor will be playing Senator Hammond in The Green Lantern. The Senator is the father of Peter Sarsgaard's Dr. Hector Hammond character, a pathologist who gains psychic and telepathic abilities from a meteor and eventually becomes a villain in the story. The father and son duo have always had issues seeing eye-to-eye. Robbins also…

  • Watch Now: Chevy Chase In ‘Hotel Hell Vacation’ Film Short

    If you were watching the Super Bowl last night, then you most likely saw the Home Away commercial with Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo reprising their roles from the Vacation franchise.

I've also embedded the Super Bowl commercial, but I recommend skipping it in favor of watching the entire short film (the commercial just doesn't do it justice).

    It seems like most people I know have extremely divergent opinions on mushrooms. A few times a year we’ll have a bunch of pizzas delivered at work. People walk up to each pie and when they get to the one with mushrooms it’s either “Oooh, mushrooms!” and they take a slice or they physically recoil away from it and run to the relative safety of pepperoni.

    Calamari is one of those things that I heard the name of for many years before I actually knew what it was. I suppose there were a lot of foods that I didn’t completely understand at first. I know it took awhile before I understood that hamburgers and steak came from cows. I learned that milk came from cows and hamburger was made out of beef. I didn’t think to ask what beef was.

Abrams’ “Star Trek” reboot, Guillermo del Toro’s “Hellboy” films and every Indiana Jones movie that doesn’t involve crystal skulls. Like Hellboy, Robo is an outsider who protects mankind in an unspoken effort to “earn” a humanity he already has.

To put that in context, according to Vodaphone's site, "On Mobile Broadband 50MB is approximately 100 Emails & 4 Hours browsing", and on T-mobile's rates 100 emails and 4 hours of browsing (running google maps etc) is $800.

The webgoblin pointed this out to me, and we think we should do something to celebrate the blog's 9th birthday. I have absolutely no idea what. If you have any ideas for wonderful things that would make people happy, let me know. Or, better still, let…

    Originally published August 14, 1992, in Comics Buyer’s Guide #978 There are no comic-book conventions. And we could really use one. This is an odd realization for anyone to come to, but the comics industry is one of the few that does not have a convention in the traditional sense. Any number of times during my travels—particularly during my days in the Marvel sales department—I would find myself staying at hotels where conventions were being held for various professionals in various industries. Insurance salesmen. Carpenters. Computer programmers. Electricians. Water companies. Pick a…

    UPDATED FEBRUARY 8th: Having taken the evening to reflect, plus after doing some research, I have decided that the best commercial of the evening was: The Dave Letterman Show ad. It was incredibly memorable. It was laugh-out-loud funny. And apparently they really were all together in the room. It was filmed at the Ed Sullivan studio and kept completely under wraps. The fact that they were able to pull that kind of national surprise in this day and age of spoilers and leaks gives it, as far as I’m concerned, the edge. The place where I’ll be live blogging the commercials during the…

    There was a slim chance this year that I might give a damn about the outcome of the Super Bowl, and then the Jets lost and I’m back to not particularly caring. (Not that I’m especially a Jets fan, or even a football fan, but I have plenty of friends who are, and I wanted to see them happy.) But, as always, I will be doing running commentary on the commercials, which are typically the most interesting part of the game. Feel free to cook up some nachos and join me tomorrow. PAD

    A lot of people are expressing outrage over the prospect of DC using other writers to utilize Alan Moore’s characters in order to produce sequels. On the other hand, Alan Moore used characters created by Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson, H. Rider Haggard, Arthur Conan Doyle, J.M. Barrie, L. Frank Baum, Lewis Carroll–not to mention thinly veiled proxies of the entire Charlton line–to produce his own various sequels which were highly praised and supported by those selfsame fans. It should also be noted that there have been plenty of sequels to classic works of literature.

    The Terry Tranny was an amazing story last year and the subject of one of my favourite Studs Up comics to date, so I just about pooped my pants in excitement at the prospect of bringing him/her back to the fore. Even though logic dictates otherwise, I don’t think it’s possible for anyone to rule out the fact that the Terry Tranny is, in fact, John Terry. You’d think resembling a transvestite would turn off any French-born lingerie models, but apparently it must make you irresistible to them:

    Effective immediately, I’m moving down to a one comic per week schedule on PC Weenies. New PC Weenies comics will be published every Wednesday. The reason for this is several-fold, but all have to do with the fact that the comic has been taking a lot of my time to create, and I need to funnel that time towards new projects and building some new skill-sets. It’s a tough decision for me, but I think it’s the right decision. I don’t want to outright stop making comics, because I really enjoy making them. So, a one a week schedule seems to be the best compromise. Does that…

    ‘ I literally have less than a handful of copies of the PCW / UNcubed Sampler #1 left, which means it’s time for me to make PCW / UNcubed Sampler #2. The Sampler will be a 24 page comic book collecting the highlights of PCW / UN3. It’s meant for new readers, but I plan on tossing in a few extra goodies that uber-fans will enjoy. I’m hoping to have the book laid out and complete this week, and sent to Ka-Blam for printing. I will also be designing a new cover for the UNcubed side. -Krishna Update: I completed the UNcubed cover a few hours ago. Take a peek!

    It seems some people were offended or confused by Friday's comic. They felt that I was saying or implying that polyamory is somehow not as serious as monogamy, or that polyamorous folks don't enter into committed relationships, or something. That couldn't possibly be further from my intent! What I was going for in that comic (and this one) is that the specific situation Tai finds herself in (casual physical relationships with people she cares about but doesn't necessarily LOVE) is unfulfilling for her personally, and she feels like she'd rather just have one person to focus on. In no way did…

    9 Feb 2010 | 3:30 am
    It is not often you find a graphic novel with back-cover blurbs from both NPR and Ain't It Cool News. Though I Kill Giants needs no love from me — it's already made its way onto 2009 Best-of lists, including the ALA's Top Ten Graphic Novels for Teens — I contend that the acclaim for the book is essentially warranted. Joe Kelly, the writer, and JM Ken Niimura, the artist, have managed to present a simple plot — a freakishly intense elementary school girl deals with family issues — with narrative and aesthetic sophistication. Kelly's writing isn't impeccable — the…

I swear, comics in the 1990s couldn't do anything decent without British people.

I always end up back at the drawing board with the real pencils, pen and ink and paper. I’m going to try some new approaches to the electronic drawing and see how they work.

    Good morning! Hey guys. Planned on making a nice little post, but I spent a good portion of the night doing Thursday’s comic and getting my GoComics Sherpa page updated. I am very glad that will be coming to an end at the end of the month. I’ll do better tomorrow. I promise. Thanks for dropping by! Ken

    Good Monday morning! Hope you had a great weekend! Big snow storm over the weekend in the northeast – hope everyone there is safe and warm. Locally, I know it’s not comparable, but I’m tired of the 40’s and 50’s. Someone turn the heat back on!! In football, big congrats to the Saints in the SuperBowl – who were underdogs. I think ‘SuperPoster’ Todd was openly rooting for them – so congrats to him too! Also thanks to Todd for the 500th comic pump-up via twitter. What an effort! My weekend was super busy around the house. Kind of glad to get…

    Good morning, Well here it is! #500! This week’s strips were a metaphor for how Rick’s webcomic experience has been – more specifically mine. The last two years have been an egotistical roller coaster ride with more downs than ups, but overall a fantastic experience. With that in mind, if you’re interested, I’ll explain… I broke out in March of 2008 with a vision of conquering the comics world – just like Rick’s press conference in Monday’s strip. I quickly realized that the artwork was not what I was envisioning in my head. Plus…

    [The "Linchpin" Series- available over on the gapingvoid Gallery etc.] Last month my friend and mentor, Seth Godin released his longest and probably most important book, “Linchpin”. I interviewed him about it here. To celebrate the book, Seth let me design a portfolio of four fine art prints, inspired by the book, entitled “The Linchpin Series”. You can go check out over on the gapingvoid Gallery here. What else is there to say? Seth wrote a great book. Like I said in my review on Amazon, “And Seth then challenges us, the readers, to become linchpins ourselves.

    I remember reading one of Tom Peter’s books about five years ago, when this sentence popped right out at me: “Make appealing to women your Marketing No. 1 priority.” It seemed like a very bold statement to me at the time, though Tom’s rationale was rock-solid. Not only do women account for over half of the nation’s GDP, their power over what is spent in the household is vastly greater than their menfolk’s. Sure, it’s a no-brainer. Did I pay any attention at the time? Of course not. I’m a Man. And men are stupid. Fast-forward half a decade and…

    This image to the left you should be seeing a lot of from now on, scattered around the gapingvoid empire. It’s now our official logo. OK, so why “Remember Who You Are”? Because it ties up everything I’ve been working on these last few years. First with the cartoons, the prints and the “Cube Grenade” private commissions. Like I said earlier: I’m inte­res­ted in how art affects “The Real World”- the work­place, the world of work, the world of busi­ness. That’s what the Cube Gre­nade idea is all about.

    So now you're saying, even if a study said the 11 minutes thing is true (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704281204575002852055561406.html), football is still better than baseball because baseball is so slow, and Dante, you're biased in favor of baseball anyway. Well, have you been to a major football game? All the players do half the time is stand around waiting for commercial breaks to end. And as for baseball, let's assume there are 130 pitches per team per game, OK? Now, including the time from windup to the umpire calling the pitch a ball or strike, probably 5 seconds go by.

Now, sure, there are many other steps leading up to being on the radio, but come on, that's a pretty cool test, right? I mean, even trying it the other day and not making it past 'corpulent porpoises', I still enjoyed doing it. And doesn't having you enjoying the testing process make the reward that much more satisfying? - - And…

Regardless, look at how many baseball plays and situations have worked their way into the daily vernacular. The comparison certainly holds.

    Topless Robot presented a post yesterday detailing the twenty nerd commandments, that all nerds “should genuinely live by”. Not really a surprise then, when I found out that I have already lived by most of them. FML. Here I’m going to list all the commandments, and how I compare to them (in italics): 1) Thou must experience as many nerdy properties as possible throughout your youth (nerdy parents must assist with this). By the age of 20, you must have chosen at least two sides of the following: Star Wars or Star Trek, Kirk or Picard, Marvel or DC, Mac or PC, Trukk or Munkey, Baker or…

    0.0 Intro "Tweet, or tweet not. There is no try". (Yoda Twitter by ApeLad) Twitter syntax, just like any language, is organic. It is bound to evolve—indeed it has—as more people use it and add their vernacular quirks to it. On the flip side though, for every language, there is a set of grammar to make sure that different people can communicate using a uniform set of rules. After tremendous response for A Guide to Having Fun on Twitter, I aim to make a rough grammar-book for Twitter. This is not a definitive guide, nor is there a definitive syntax for tweeting.

Submissions in this thread sometimes carry over to other submissions, and these past few days saw some hilarious submissions on the topic of “guy friends”. It all started with this comic of a girl after a break-up: I found it such a hoot since it’s such a common story: a girl complaining that the moment she breaks up, she will find her guy…

As I make abundantly clear in the article, I’ve never seen a full episode of the show before last Friday, and while they certainly promoted the JSA appearance, I wasn’t too keen on jumping on now. So why the change of heart? An IM from Kevin Church on Thursday that just said “Let’s get drunk and liveblog Smallville…

  • Human Target Syndrome: Generic TV Pitches For Our Favorite Comics

    Chris Sims
    8 Feb 2010 | 10:34 am
        Today at ComicsAlliance, I’m reacting to Fox’s Human Target TV show, which took a comic with an extremely distinctive theme and boiled it down to something about as generic as it could possibly be. To be fair to the show, the episodes I’ve caught have been pretty fun and enjoyably over the top (of the two episodes I’ve seen, one involved Christopher Chance jumping a motorcycle over armed guards as he escaped from the Russian embassy, then getting involved in a high-speed wreck with no ill effects whatsoever), but they’re also stripped of the smart,…

As such, he’s been the public face of Marvel Comics for almost fifty years, and among a certain demographic, that buys you a pretty long line of credit. Credit that, over the past few years, Lee has spent on bringing truly, hilariously terrible projects to…
