OH MY GOD! ALAN MOORE SINGING!

Here is a video of Alan Moore singing with a band called The Retro Spankees at the launch party for his zine Dodgem Logic. This video is purely for the lulz.

Quote with 3 notes

In the Core Marvel Universe, the most popular person is a 120 year-old Canadian berserker samurai who has who has been to the moon and was in love with a psychic who destroyed an alien planet and came back from the dead, married to both Japanese royalty and a green-haired terrorist, and had a child with a woman from a hidden region of Antarctica where dinosaurs and cavemen live. When he is not fighting his enemies — most of whom are versions of himself, some of whom have claws made of lasers — he reaffirms his status as as tough-as-nails loner as a member of at least three superhero teams.

Supergod  #1 by Warren Ellis and Garrie Gastonny.
I’ve waited for this for a while now and it is one of the few things - this year at least - that has completely lived up to the hype that surrounded it. Supergods: A world where Superheroes are the product of Government experiments that were aimed to create physical Gods. By a number of methods these heroes are made to be the salvation for the nation that created them and apparently all industrious nations made efforts to somehow make a superhuman. So far the story has really only gone into detail about one of these superhero/Gods, the one created by India, Krishna. He was made to solve the many problems of India - high crime rate, overpopulation, pollution - so, naturally, he solves the problem by killing everyone. He then destroys the entire nation of Pakistan by redirecting their own nuclear missiles and encapsulating the region in a force-field. There is also something about British Scientists trying to have sex with their Supergod, but it didn’t really go into detail.
So far so awesome! I highly recommend this to the kind of people that took time to read into all the symbolism and allusions found in Watchmen (i.e. lonely people).

Kick-Ass Issue # 2. 
I wonder how the film will hold up? Kick-Ass is basically a torture-genre bent on beating the shit out of fan-boys. I really hope this comes across in the film because it goes about it so well.

KICK-ASS Movie Trailer!!!

The trailer seems to by-pass the fact that Kick-Ass gets his ass brutally beaten (in, like, EVERY issue!). But this still looks amazing, plus word is that it is actually good so there is always that (the word of random guys I read off the internet = trustworthy).

Cowboy Ninja Viking #1 by A.J. Lieberman and Riley Rossmo
So, I’ve been getting a little too wordy with the reviews lately so I’ll just stick to the facts:

This is NOT about Cowboys fighting Ninjas fighting Vikings (Vikings would win). It’s just about a guy who thinks he is all three. 
If you’re into this trend that Image Comics has with the wacky high-concepts (see: Chew) then you’d probably like this.
I found that this was worth both my time and money and I will be getting the next copy of issues to see if the concept holds for a full story arc. 

So, in short, I recommend this.
UPDATE: Apparently this is my 600th post. Just saying.

“He did it himself. With a kitchen knife and a steady right hand. A brand new face to replace the one his father had given him.” - Nick Fury, Ultimate Avengers #2: The Next Generation Part 2 of 6.
Aside from being written by Mark Millar, the only thing actually keeping me interested enough to stay with the new Ultimate Avengers is the part where the Red Skull is Captain America’s son. Now you have my attention.
