It’s been ages since I posted something truly off-topic, and this story is just too cool to leave alone. Last year, there was the sad but marvelous story of a group of desperate Cubans trying to make it to America in a floating truck. Unfortunately, the Coast Guard had to return them to Cuba, and…

Ralph survives?
It was rumored that Ralph Dibny might get killed off in “Identity Crisis”, the big event at DC this year. But, if one can go by this promo image, it looks like he’ll survive. Wizard #150 will have a preview of this event. So, if this cover truly shows the people who survive, and the…

His web site, Dixonverse.com, has been offline due to a hassle involving his site host ever since the domain came up for renewal. Even with the announcement of “Richard Dragon” in November,…

Scott’s latest Yellow Jacket story “Feeling The Sting” debuted this week in Shooting Star Comics Anthology #3. I’ve already seen the art in previews and I have to say:…
Okay, so it’s foreign and I’ll never see it
Remember that guy who fell into a coma in 1984 when Terminator came out and woke up when the star of that movie is governor of California? OK. Now imagine being behind the Iron Curtain during that same period of time. In Good bye, Lenin!, a man has to protect his frail mother from the…
Who’s ripping off Signs?
I saw this trailer for The Village and saw a number of visual elements that seemed reminiscent of the movie “Signs,” to the point that I wondered if this was just a ripoff of that film. Oh, guess not. The reason it’s so similar is that this is M. Night Shyamalan’s new film! Joy!
