  • More free comic books?

    Ian Shires of Dimestore Productions has announced that a Free Small Press Day is in development in hopes that it may add to the “Free Comic Book Day” promoted by the major publishers. It will be the major focus of the Small Press Association’s upcoming Mighty Mini Con, in NY

  • X-Men 3

    Ain’t It Cool News has a tiny bite of info relayed from a reader in England. Ian McKellen has said on BBC radio 2 that the heads of Fox are so impressed by X2 that they are gung ho for a third movie in the series. He also makes a humorous remark about working with…

  • GI Joe / Transformers crossover?

    GI Joe crosses over with the Transformers in a new six issue mini this summer. Interestingly, the two series get reinvented just so that they can co-exist in this reality. I like those kinds of crossovers (like the classic Batman/Captain America) as opposed to the rip-in-dimensions type. I don’t know that I’ll pick up this…

  • Oh, thank you, that’s much better.

    Comedian Patton Oswalt’s upcoming JLA one-shot, JLA: Workweek, has been retitled! “Oh, good” I thought. Workweek didn’t seem like a great title. Hopefully they found a much better candidate. So: the new title is “JLA: Welcome to the Working Week.” Who are the ad wizards who came up with this campaign?

  • Are you watching Adult Swim?

    I hadn’t been watching Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim (their late-night line-up of more mature content programming), but once I started downloading the episodes of Home Movies from the Digital Archive Project I was hooked! The Adult Swim F.A.Q. has a good summary of their shows, but let me highlight a few in particular: Home Movies…

  • Sorry about that!

    I think everyone on the Monitor Duty board was busy watching the Saddam statue being pulled down yesterday. We’ll try to get more posts out today!

  • It’s the King Of Days!

    Today is Wednesday, the King Of Days, the day when the new comics hit the shelves of our local comic book vendors! Everyone do the King of Days dance and shout, “Huzzah!” I encourage my fellow commentators to put up links to reviews of the new comic books. And if you, stout reader, would like…

  • Where is the Justice League?

    Let me get this straight: Season Two of the Justice League animated series doesn’t debut until OCTOBER? It feels like I’ve been watching these reruns forever, and yet there are six more months to wait! Oy. It sounds like Cartoon Network felt that the last season dragged out between the production of new episodes. I…

  • A classic from the Onion

    Yeah, yeah, I’ll get to posting news in a minute. But for now, an Onion classic: When You Are Ready To Have A Serious Conversation About Green Lantern, You Have My E-Mail Address
