Neatorama.com is a site I check daily. They always have fun and interesting stuff like the photo above. Was is it vandalism or just clever marketing? You make the call!

On Set with the Angel of Death
October 29th, 2008 | Author: Craig
We first heard about Ed Brubaker’s “Angel of Death” back in July. CBR.com has a set report plus photos [like the one above with Zoe Bell and Ed Brubaker between takes]. You can check it out here.Can You Survive the Outbreak?
October 28th, 2008 | Author: Craig
Knowing many ZONErs are fans of the zombie genre, I just had to link to the interactive movie called The Outbreak. Not only is it surprisingly well done, but there is a way to actually survive. It took me more than a couple of tries, but I enjoyed the time spent playing If you decide to give it a go, be advised that there is profanity and gore. It is a zombie movie after all.

October 27th, 2008 | Author: Craig
It’s a special time when Hellboy creator, Mike Mignola, returns to write AND draw his creation. The stars and planets must have lined correctly because this week Mignola returns to do just that in the Hellboy one shot “In the Chapel of Moloch.” You can see some preview art and learn more about it here.
I Am Wrestling
October 26th, 2008 | Author: Craig
This Olympic Sport Quiz says that I am most like wrestling. I like that. I was a wrestler in high school so it makes sense. As to the last line, “anyone who steps into the ring with me should watch out…” watch out… that I don’t pass out. It’s been a long time since high school.Who’s the Smart One?

I wasn’t surprised that I did well on this US History quiz. It was one of my favorite subjects in school. Still is. I wouldn’t have done nearly as well with geography. The funny thing is, and maybe it’s not so funny… the last line in the picture above says to “show some foreigners how smart Americans can be” — but quite often immigrants to the US know more about our country than those born here since the immigrants have to pass a test to get citizenship. Nice New Posters
October 24th, 2008 | Author: Craig
IMPAwards.com just posted up several nice new posters. Three French character posters for “Quantum of Solace,” the Clint Eastwood “Gran Torino” poster, and a creepy “The Burrowers” poster are included in the group. You can see all of them here.
Previewing the Punisher
October 24th, 2008 | Author: Craig
I know that many ZONErs are Punisher fans. If you fall into that category, then you’ll probably want to check out Newsarama’s exclusive six page preview of Punisher: Frank Castle #66. It’s written by one of my favorite new authors, Duane Swierczynski with art by Michael Lacombe. Fan favorite, Dave Johnson, provides the cover. Declaring My Independence
October 24th, 2008 | Author: Craig
I was really interested in the results of this poll. I’ve been a registered Independent since I was old enough to vote. Over the years, I’ve pulled the switch for Republicans and Democrats depending on the person running. I’ve voted for liberal and conservative causes depending on the issue. My opinions on some issues have changed over the years, due to research and perhaps maturity. So I wondered how the poll would turn out… had I become more liberal or conservative? Seems that although some things have changed, I’m still pretty independent. I like that.
Ain’t It Gran?
October 23rd, 2008 | Author: Craig
Two movie posters in two days that I really like. That could be a record. What’s not to dig about the Clint Eastwood’s “Gran Torino” poster? You know, at one time “Gran Torino” was rumored to be a new “Dirty Harry” movie. Although it ain’t, it still should be worth a view. Especially if it’s as good as the poster.Reading Now
