Walt Simonson Goes Solo in The Judas Coin

Walt Simonson is a comic book all-star.  Simonson is best known for his work on Marvel’s Thor and DC’s Manhunter, [although his teaming with Archie Goodwin for a graphic novel adaptation of Alien is my personal favorite]. 

Walt Simonson is back with a graphic novel called The Judas Coin which spans 1600 years in the DC universe and features a variety of characters including Batman, Two Face, Bat Lash and others.  You can learn more about it here, but the fact that Walt Simonson drew it, is probably all most folks need to know to add it to their pull list.

It’s Good to be King

Normally one would think that it’s good to be king, but the way Walter White’s luck runs, my guess it will be: “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.” 

If you’re not watching Breaking Bad on AMC, you’re missing out on one of the best shows currently airing.


Jamie Foxx is One Bad Cowboy

That’s one mean lookin’ cowboy.  Almost hard to believe it’s Jamie Foxx in a publicity still for Quentin Tarantino’s Django set for a Christmas 2012 release.  I’m a Tarantino fan and apparently so are Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, Don Johnson, Anthony LaPaglia, Tom Wopat, James Remar, and James Russo since they’re appearing in the film along with Jamie Foxx

You can see more stills for Django here thanks to the cowboys at ComingSoon.



Chris Flick Awards Sly…

Chris Flick of Capes and Babes makes his first appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. I had the good fortune to sit with Chris, Thomas Zahler of Love and Capes , LittleJohn312 and Patricia at last year’s Heroes Con Drink and Draw event. What a great evening! Ah, but I digress…

Chris Flick worked up this cool sketch of Sly accepting a well-deserved award for his amazing working on Rambo. You can learn more about Chris as well as check out his popular Cape and Babes webcomic.



Did You Hear About the Time-Traveling Attorney?

Andrew Basiago is a Seattle attorney who, since 2004, has been publicly proclaiming that as a child he was involved in a government sponsored time-travel program known as Project PegasusAccording to Basiago, the US government has had time-travel technology for over 40 years

Basiago further claims that, as a child he time-traveled to [and was photographed at] Gettysburg when Lincoln gave his famous speech.  If you click over to this article at the Huffington Post, you can see the photograph from 1863 of the child that Basiago claims is him, taken while on his time-travel mission.  You can also view a  video of Basiago talking about his time-travel experiences. 

Wow!  Andrew Basiago’s claims make his childhood sound like a cross between Johnny Quest and The Time Tunnel.  Both of which, were more plausible.
