Star Trek Vs. Batman, Part 1 Great job on the costumes and production, but how is it that they fail at two of the easiest imitations in the world, namely William Shatner and Adam West? Here is the official site. Hat tip: Progressive Ruin (again!). What’s that? You want Part Two? OK.

“The End of Civilization”? Great idea!
I hadn’t visited Progressive Ruin before, so I was not familiar with a running gag that they apparently do called “The End of Civilization”. What’s that? Mike Sterling makes fun of items and announcements in Diamond Previews. Hilarious. Now I’ll have to read all the earlier installments of that series. Way to blow all my…
IIIII Am IRRRONNNN MAAAAAN!
Robert Downey Jr. will play Iron Man. Not being a Marvel fan and having never read any more Iron Man than a Hostess advertisement, I don’t really have any feelings one way or the other on this. What do you all think?
The Spock’s Brain of Voyager
UPDATE: Sorry, the link was mis-formatted and did not appear earlier. The Agony Booth has been making its way through the various Star Trek TV shows in chronological order, doing two horrible episodes from each show. Now they’re up to the worst of the worst, the pitiful Star Trek Voyager episode, Threshold. That’s the one…
Unrealistic realism
So long as I’m posting about comic book writing, I’ll transition to this piece I’ve wanted to link to for a while. (Of course, if you read from the top of the blog, is there any way to transition topic to topic?) Andrew Klavan of Libertas wrote an essay about the “realistic” dialogue in United…
Alex Toth’s letter to Steve Rude
jasonlatour – Be careful what you ask for… Jason Latour (or LaTour…hard to tell when it’s all written together in lowercase) has posted a 14-page letter that artist Alex Toth wrote to Steve Rude in 1986. Steve apparently asked Toth to give him feedback about his pencils for an issue of Comico’s Jonny Quest. I…
iTunes sucks now
I don’t know that this falls under any category of our usual talk here, but I just feel obliged to warn you all: IF you are still using iTunes 6.x and iTunes is bugging you to upgrade to iTunes 7.0, don’t. At least not until they fix all the bugs. I love love love love…
Big whopping major announcement!
If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been, what’s been taking up all my time, why I haven’t been posting much, or what I’m doing to try to make money while I’m looking for a job… HERE IT IS! It’s the all-new, all-different “Comics Relief”, my site where I’m selling off my comic book collection. Thanks…
Cinnamon: El Ciclo
I’m going over a few of the better books I bought from Scott Beatty during his last clearance sale. “Cinnamon: El Ciclo” is fantastic! I wish I’d bought this and supported it at the time. It’s a taught thriller with compelling characters, plenty of violence and grit (though without anywhere near the swearing and gore…
The Kryptonian Alphabet
Kryptonese Alphabet I think my brain melted just from trying to comprehend it. Yet I have a friend who is turning that into a font! Why is it we have people who are making fonts for comic book alien alphabets and translating the works of Shakespeare into Klingonaas, but there are still tens of thousands…
