Nice Art: La Luz de Jesus Presents Rogue Taxidermy 2012
The link is probably NSFW and some of the pieces are VERY disturbing. And mesmerizing.
Dandelion Seeds: Comic Shop Crawl
How far would you walk for a copy of your favorite comic? Would you do it with a group of friends? How about a road trip? People wander in pub crawls, sometimes in costume, so why not do it for comics instead of cheap beer?
Not A Hoax! Not An Imaginary Story!
Grant Morrison will present Mxyzptlk as a Kryptonian God of Chaos, in direct contrast to Brainiac, a God of Order. Both will battle across multiple dimensions (as hypothesized by String Theory), forming the "brane" of his long-awaited "Multiversity" epic.
March Mayhem at Stately Beat Manor!
Cursing the basketball gods because your bracket is broken? Searching for a tournament bracket which better suits your knowledge base? We present a multitude of 2012 non-sports tournaments, from popular culture, food, and corporate America!
Lego versions of Road House and the Bible make life worth living
If you have been around the nerdier sectors of the net in the last decade you have surely seen The Brick Testament, by Brendan Powell Smith a loving recreation of the BIble's most gruesome, perverted and vengeful moment rendered in Lego brick men and women.
What you may NOT have known is that the whole glorious thing is coming out this month in a paperback from Skyhorse.
Terrifying earthquake hits Stately Beat Manor
Yeah like the rest of you East Coasters, we just had a little wee temblor. My mind refused to believe it was happening, preferring to think that it was a big truck driving by or the Second Avenue Subway rattling by...except that doesn't exist just yet. Having been in the Northridge quake, I knew it wasn't serious...yet, but the idea of the piles of books in Stately Beat Manor tumbling down filled my heart with dread. But the cat didn't even wake up.
Hope the folks closer to the epicenter are okay. Virginian Colleen Doran tweeted:
Fight! Grant Morrison vs Chris Ware
Well not really a fight, more of a strafing run, since it's unlikly Chris Ware will ever be asked about Grant Morrison in an interview. While on his voluble book publicity tour, Scottish superstar Grant Morrison continues to drop quotable bombs to be picked up by websites worldwide. Today the battlefield is Rolling Stone, where he comes clean on Chris Ware; the Acme Novelty Library genius, known for his grim vivisection of human futility, is not Morrison's cuppa Earl Grey tea.
AVENGERS movie update: Thor and Captain America brawl on the streets
We don't need us to tell you that it's tough times in the heartland of America these days. Slowing manufacturing, a recession that never really ended in some places, and a recovery that has failed to ignite.
Luckily, one thing has come to the Steel belt to liven things up -- superhero movies. With Batman filming in Pittsburgh, Superman in Chicago, and now The Avengers in Cleveland (standing in for NYC? Ooooooookay) it's been boom times for photographers.
Here's the latest Avengers leaked photos, showing Cap and Thor battling mocapped Hydra or someone goons.
Watch Harrison Ford rip the head off Papa Smurf
The feud between dueling comics movies COWBOYS & ALIENs and THE SMURFS erupted in violence last night when COWBOYS star Harrison Ford ripped the head off a stuffed Papa Smurf handed to him my late night chat host Conan O'Brien.
Ford's rage may have been misplaced, as COWBOYS AND ALIENS eventually edged SMURFS at the box office by a million buckaroonies or so.
If nothing else, the incident set up a dandy idea for a sequel: COWBOYS VS LITTLE BLUE PEOPLE.
The Red Hood is definitely a MEMBER of the Bat family
When DC released a bunch of October Bat-book covers the other day, it was quickly noticed that Starfire's costume had gotten much smaller, a natural move for the exhibitionist alien.
It was also noticed that part of the Red Hood had gotten bigger.
Chinese prisoners forced to play World of Warcraft for money
It's a new style of pimping.
Instead of selling their bodies, or busting their backs digging ditches, some Chinese prisoners are forced to play World of Warcraft and pass the winnings on to cruel prison guards.
Where did that Macho Man/Jesus/Rapture painting come from anyway?
By now you have all seen the above image, which swept through social media yesterday with the tagline "Macho Man prevented the Rapture." In a world seemingly without order, connecting the senseless (and very sad) death of Randy "Macho Man" Savage, and the impending Rapture predicting by Harold Camping (inexplicably still alive) would seem to give us some joy.
But where did it come from? Such viral images come and go so quickly on the internet, we thought it would be informative to see what we could come up with as an origin story.
