Two True Freaks and Better in the Dark both invited me to discuss my favorite show recently and coincidentally both podcasts were released this week! Here are the details on […]

This October IDW will release Ghostbusters Holiday Special: What in Samhain Just Happened?!, written by Peter David with art by Dan Schoening. Why am I pimping this particular comic you ask? Well, beside the fact that Ghostbusters are cool, my buddy Robby was used as a cover model for this comic! The cover artist for […]

Yesterday at work I received a promotional brochure through the mail. It’s without a doubt the single coolest piece of mail I’ve ever received at my office. What was the brochure promoting you ask? I have no idea. It was the postage stamp used to mail the piece that made it so cool. Awesome. Just […]

If you grew up in the early 1980s, chances are you’ve heard of The Micronauts. Perhaps you played with some of the toys, read some of the comics, or were just aware of their existence. I fell into that last category. I was aware there was a toyline and comic for Micronauts, but that was […]

Last week’s post about Alpha Flight and the news about Chaos War: Alpha Flight has reignited my fanaticism for this team! Today I thought I’d stroll down memory lane with some of my favorite Alpha Flight related covers. Enjoy!

Have I mentioned lately how awesome my wife is? The other day The Irrepressible Gena came home from shopping with this t-shirt. She’s an absolute non-geek, but bought this shirt because she knew it’d make me happy. She’s so fantastic! And beautiful too! It’s a reproduction of the cover to Wonder Woman #253 dated March […]

I love me some Alpha Flight! I got hooked reading the John Byrne back issues in the late 1980s. I’ve stuck with the team ever since. Sadly they were wiped out in early 2006 in New Avengers (vol. I) #16. In 2007 we did get a solid Omega Flight mini-series, but it didn’t spawn anything […]

Yesterday we featured some awesome Batman imaginary team-ups. The creator of those team-ups is working on a new similar project for Marvel Two-in-One. He doesn’t have a site for them yet, but watch for it in the coming months. Check out these preliminary covers! Found via Bleeding Cool.
