Jerry Gaylord aka The Franchize makes his first, but not his last appearance in my Stallone Sketch Gallery with his take on Sly as Barney Ross from The Expendables.
I highly recommend Jerry to all sketch collectors. He quickly responds to e-mails, his turnaround time is quick and he packages the art to ensure it arrives safely.

Here’s the new Bullet to the Head poster.
Way back in September of 2012, SZoner, Gerardo Moreno created his take on what a Bullet to the Head poster could look like. You have to get him credit. He wasn’t off by much! – Craig
Recently iFanboy asked readers…
Who is your Batman and what does he look like? Is he a living shadow or a figure in blue and gray? Are the ears of his cowl short little nubs or do they climb like spires?
You tell us.
Then we’ll tell you who was nominated the most.
No lists either. Just one pick per person. And make your case!
Deciding who is my best Batman artist is tough. Because of the long history of the character and the number of amazing artists who’ve worked on The Dark Knight, it is not an easy task. Let’s take a look at some of my favorites and see if we can reach a definitive “best Batman artist.”
These are the top 6 artists who come to my mind. There were others: Jim Aparo, Norm Breyfogle, Brian Boland, Eduardo Rizzo, John Byrne… the list could go on and on. But let’s get back to the task at hand… picking my favorite Batman artist.
Drumroll, please…
And the award for Zablo’s Favorite Batman Artist goes to… Marshall Rogers.
I like this poster for the new season of The Walking Dead which premieres on February 10th.
I can’t imagine that if you have any interest at in all The Walking Dead, that you’re not watching it. It truly is one of the best shows going. In fact, I’d say that The Walking Dead, along with Justified and Sons of Anarchy are the top three.
That’s Florida’s Governor, Rick Scott in Daytona Beach, Florida, earlier this week addressing over 300 students from across the Volusia County district. You can make me out, like Bob Uecker, in the front row.
I was honored to be asked to speak to students about the importance of education prior to Governor Scott’s question and answer session with them.
So last month, I was hanging with Olympic Gold Medalists and this month, I’m sharing the stage with the Governor. ; )
I can’t wait to see what next month brings.
Guillermo del Toro introduces this short video that inspired his feature-length film, Mama.
Prepare to be creeped out.
Last September, 91 base jumpers from 17 countries met at Menara Kuala Lumpur and performed over 2,200 jumps in 3 days.
They say they’re not crazy, they’re awesome.
I say they’re a bit of both.
Jon Riggle is back with his take on Sly as Jack Carter from Get Carter. To check out more of Jon’s art, head on over here. – Craig
One of my all-time favorite crime comics, Gravedigger, makes a return on February 4th, 2013.
That’s right, Gravedigger by Chris Mills and Rick Burchett is making a comeback, and in a big way. Gravedigger will begin re-appearing as a web comic with weekly updates.
Mills & Burchett will start by serializing the original Gravedigger story, The Scavengers, and then will move on to a new Gravedigger tale, The Predators. The plan is to then collect both storylines into one graphic novel.
Kickstarter, anyone?
This news has absolutely made my day, and if you love great comics, my guess is it has made yours as well.
I’m not too excited about the poster for Dead Man Down, but the trailer looks awesome.
Directed by Niels Arden Oplev [who directed the original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo], Dead Man Down stars Colin Farrell, Noomi Rapace, Terrence Howard, Dominic Cooper and Armand Assante. Farrell plays a hit man seduced to kill a crime boss.
If that’s not enough to get you in line for a ticket, perhaps these Five Things to Know About Colin Farrell’s New Revenge Thriller will do the trick.
Dead Man Down has now moved up to my “must-see” list.
IMPAwards is running a poll to determine the best poster designs for TV series and Made-for-TV movies that aired during 2012. You can vote by going here.
I voted. My top five were [in no particular order]: Walking Dead, Justified, Logmire, Breaking Bad [seated], and The Client List.
This just keeps looking better and better!
One of the all time funniest routines is the classic Who’s on First made famous by Abbott and Costello. Today’s video is a worthy all-star follow-up.
Enjoy!
