The Read Pile - 3/26/08

By
Ooh yeah, this read pile I found the opportunity to put up two pictures of Ravager...I know your jealous.





#1 BLUE BEETLE #25 - This is the best comic ever and the JLI is going to be here. Nerdgasms are sure to fill the blogosphere.







#2 TEEN TITANS #57 - Since my stack sucked last week I start rereading Teen Titans since one year later. It is better than I remember it. Especially the bits with Ravager who I have developed a nerd crush on. So I am very hyped about this Ravager focused issue. This is the cover on DC comics.com, which is actually from a page in Teen Titans #39.








This is the cover on McKeever's blog, probably the official one.











#3 NEW AVENGERS #39 - Echo, I still have no idea who the fuck she is. Can someone tell me. Does she have a power? I'm to lazy to wiki her.





#4 MIGHTY AVENGERS #11 - Not sure what to expect from this issue, but it has steadily improved.







#5 GREEN LANTERN #29 - If Geoff Johns says it's time to hear about Hal's origin, I believe him.







#6 X-MEN LEGACY #209 - I liked the first issue. This cover is cool simply because of the old school sentinel in the top right corner.



I hope the stack misunderstood the new direction in their preview.




#7 COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS 5 - Last issue was horrible. Please let this issue be decent.

#8 STAR TREK NEW FRONTIER #1 - I miss Star Trek, this is all I have left.

#9 COUNTDOWN TO ADVENTURE #8 (OF 8) - This story is finally wrapping up, which I'm very happy for. I want to see Buddy, Kory, and Adam Strange interact with the DCU again.

#10 JSA CLASSIFIED #36 - More Wildcat Goodness.

#11 SECRET HISTORY AUTHORITY JACH HAWKSMOOR #1(OF 6) - About a year ago my cousin gave me the Absolute Authority hardcover, which someone had left in a house he was selling as I am the only person he knows who reads comics. I enjoyed it although I was shocked by it. So I'll give Jack a chance.

#12 WOLVERINE FIRST CLASS #1 - I haven't read any of the x-men first class comics, but this cover is just to cool to pass up. I'm interested to see if i develop the fanboy crush every nerd seems to have with Kitty Pryde. As I haven't had that much exposure to her.



#13 COUNTDOWN SPECIAL ECLIPSO 80 PAGE GIANT - I really love the these special dc has been putting out. It gives me the chance to read old comics for cheap and really gives me a sense of a characters history. I hope they continue this trend for a long time.

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

By

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

Week 4

By
-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...

Count Down to the New Year By Syncing These Epic Movie Moments at Midnight

It's New Year's Eve! Which means it's time to celebrate the death of this foul year of our Lord. So here's a list of our favorite movies that sync up to ring in the new year with a big, epic moment and what time you should start watching them on New Year's Eve.  For the best results, we suggest starting the movie, pausing it, setting it to 0:00:00 and unpausing at the time suggested. We also suggest watching these movies on DVD or BluRay if possible because even the most insignificant streaming blips can throw off the timing completely. Adult Swim Yule Log 2: Branchin' Out - 11:00:00 If you want to kick off the new year with Nana vomiting all over Christmas dinner, oddly enough it happens EXACTLY one hour into the film so all you have to do is start the movie at exactly 11:00:00 Cabin in the Woods - 10:30:07 PM If you want to ring in the new year with the Old Gods rising again, hit play on Drew Goddard's modern classic Cabin in the Woods at 10:30:07 PM (10:3...
