I was checking out CBR.com’s Top Five Most Iconic Wolverine Covers and couldn’t believe that Byrne and Austin’s cover for X-Men 133 not only wasn’t #1, but it didn’t even make the list?
Are you kidding me?
This issue is not only iconic, but was one of the most anticipated comics ever! The storyline had been set up for 133 to focus on Wolverine’s single-handed rescue of the team from the Hellfire Club.
X-Men 133 didn’t even make the list?
C’mon, man!
Jesse Munoz makes a return appearance in my Stallone Theme Sketch Collection. Big thanks to Jesse for his excellent take on Sly as Jack Carter and for the quick response time. Not only did Jesse provide me with this black and white version but also this grayscale version as well. Jesse is a great choice if you collect sketches!
You can see more of Jesse’s art.
Bloody Disgusting has reported that…
I really hope this pans out. Hunter was written by James Byron Huggins specifically with Sly in mind. It’s an awesome book that will translate into a very cool movie.
Let’s hope everything lines up and Hunter gets made with Stallone at the helm.
Quentin Tarantino says he’s excited that Django Unchained is not only going to premiere in theaters this December, but that the first issue of (a five issue mini series based on) Django Unchained will drop as well.
R.M. (Scalped) Guera will provide the art and Tarantino’s screenplay will provide the story.
Thanks and an extra bounty shall be paid to CBR.com.
Now this is a nice poster. I guess it should be though, since it’s the official poster for AMC’s The Walking Dead (Season Three).
“Fight the Dead. Fear the Living.”
Indeed. And while we’re at it, you might want to check out these new promo pics and trailer for The Walking Dead‘s new season over at CBR.com.
I like this poster for Killing Them Softly. My only quibble would be that it reminds me of a poster for a war movie more than a gritty crime drama.
I hope that Killing Them Softly lives up to advance reviews since I’m looking forward to seeing this in a theater.
SZoner, Gerardo Moreno is back with his version of how a new Bullet to the Head movie poster could look. I’ve always enjoyed Gerardo’s Stallone art, and I seem to say this with each new piece, but this may be his best one ever. To see more of his art, click here.
Hey, all you Breaking Bad fans… what to see a very cool Breaking Bad animation? Why, of course you do.
So here is Martin Woutisseth’s Breaking Bad animation. As an added bonus, here’s a link to Martin’s blog.
Well, it’s been a while hasn’t it.
My computer crashed on the Thursday before Labor Day weekend. I took it into the shop ( a great local place called Volusia Computers) the next morning. What followed was a run of bad luck I haven’t seen since Big John Beatty busted out on triple aces twice in a row in a game of In-Between.
But that’s a story for another time.
The guys at Volusia Computers were great, but my computer could not be resuscitated. We almost had it back, but then it died again. At that point I decided to buy a refurbished, but bigger and faster computer. It was ready for pick-up and started experiencing minor problems when they were showing me it’s features. So for my inconvenience I was upgraded to an even better computer for a lower price.
The downside was that it took some time to get my new refurbished computer ready for me to take home. Oh, and did I mention that while all this was going on that my big screen tv died? It did.
FPL came out and installed a smart merter and didn’t tell us to turn off appliances. So for a few days I was without my computer AND my big screen tv.
All is good now. I’ve got a new tv and new (to me) computer. Both are improvements over what I had. So…
I’m back, baby.
If, like me, you’re a fan of Francesco Francavilla’s art and stories, you’ll be happy to hear that his character the Black Beetle will premiere in his first mini-series starting in January. It’ll be called No Way Out.
If you just can’t wait until January, this December the three part Black Beetle story, Night Shift, will be collected into a single volume.
Big congrats to Francesco!
Since we were talking about Thomas Boatwright and his art yesterday, I wanted to remind you that he has a new 32 page Bride of Frankenstein sketchbook and that there could be a third Zeke Deadwood comic in our future.
Thomas Boatwright makes an explosive return with Jack Carter!
If you’d like to see more of Thomas Boatwright’s art check out his blog and his DA site. Send him some love.
If you get commissions, you should consider a piece from Thomas. He keeps you totally in the loop on his progress, finishes his commissions on or ahead of schedule, has very reasonable prices, is a fantastic artist and always gives you more than you’re expecting! – Craig
Neil Armstrong, the first human to step foot on the moon, died today at the age of 82 from “complications resulting from cardiovascular procedures.” In a statement released by his family, Mr. Armstrong was described “as a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, and also as “a reluctant American hero who always believed he was just doing his job.”
Neil Armstrong was part of the historic three man crew [Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mike Collins] that took humans to the moon for the first time. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first to step foot on the moon saying it was “a small step for man, a giant leap for mankind.” Despite the opportunity that being the first person to accomplish such a historic feat provided, Mr. Armstrong remained humble and rarely stepped into the public spotlight.
Most times that you come by this blog, you’ll find me writing about fictional heroes. Today’s post is about a true hero.
Rest in Peace, Neil Armstrong.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mr. Armstrong’s family, friends and fans.
Yeah, I’d say we’re in for an interesting season. Want to see two more Sons of Anarchy teasers? You can here thanks to Screen Rant.
