Can't wait to see what happens after that last traumatic scene of season 1.0 when Rick shoots Sophia and the rest of the zombies in the barn? The first three minutes of The Walking Dead's February 12th premiere have just been put on line and we'll give you three guesses what happens:

Continue ReadingIf you are like us, you are still grieving at the loss of Herman Cain from next year's presidential race. From his powerful hats, to his inspiring slogans -- "You need a job, right?" -- to his wondrous waffling that made every scandal a delight, Cain never failed to bring a smile to our lips, even in these grim times. And he justified that faith in his ability to make us laugh at our problems right up until the very end, topping it off with a quote with the Pokémon movie. But Herman is gone. Luckily, a new candidate for the Republican nomination has arisen who may just take his place, Marvin E. Quasniki, a humble turquoise farmer from Tonopah, Nevada who is running on a very catchy campaign motto that will soon be heard all over Fox News: "No more bullshit."
Continue ReadingThe Red Hot Chili Peppers are still around! And to prove they are still in touch with the kids they have hopped on the hot graphic novel trend for their latest video -- because graphic novels aren't just for kids any more. Under the bridge downtown, is where I drew some mini comics. Actually, the video for "Monarchy of Roses" is more an homage to Raymond Pettibon than comic books. Amazingly, Anthony is still rocking the shirt-off look as he nears the half century mark...clean living, I guess.

Note only is his webcomic TUNE going strong towards a Fall 2012 collection, but he's just finished posting to YouTube 9 episodes of MYTHOMANIA, a parallel video series following cartoonist Andy Go and his millennial adventures.And now it has a poster!
Continue ReadingAt a time of similar hopelessness and when people are actually asking if Brutalist architecture contributed to the UK Riots, it's good to revisit this classic from the Specials. When I first watched this video I thought it was a modern remake as it looks so current and timeless, but apparently it's from 1981, and directed by the late Barney Bubbles, a designer who killed himself a few years later.
Continue ReadingThis Angry Birds/The Birds short film by Gregg Bishop -- presented as part of G4's Epictober filmfest -- is not as funny as you might think given the premise; instead it's an Alfred Hitchcock fanfic kinda thing—and violent! But you will probably enjoy Jamie Alexander (Sif) and Amanda Baker looking very fetching.

If you don't want to watch the whole video, former Beat Events Editor Maggie Siegel-Berele posted her own cartoon take on the panel. Maggie thought the panel was depressing. I say those who don't remember the past are doomed to go to panels to find out about what happened.

Night Shyamalan movie, AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER retains its passionate fanbase, and news of a sequel, THE LEGEND OF KORRA, a 26-episode miniseries, has had hearts a fluttering for some time.
