Marvel Toons!

I've been waiting a long time for a good Spider-Man animated series.  The BMB written series on MTV a while back was not it.  The animated show in the 90's was decent, but hell, that was a long time ago.  This one is looking more a long the lines of the Batman Animated Series.  Or so I hope...

Me Geek, You Geek Interviews Mitch Breitweiser!

cap_mitch After seeing the preview art in July's Marvel Previews for "Captain America: The Chosen" I did some snooping around regarding the artist attached to the project: Mitch Breitweiser.  You see, I hadn't heard of him up to that point but his art was so captivating I needed to learn about him.
 
Come to find out this wasn't his first Marvel gig.  But it's certainly his highest profile work.  Working on Captain America following the aftermath of his death is a great way to spur interest in a book.  
 
His realistic and gritty art is sure to be a big reason people pick up this book.  So we sat down and talked about it this afternoon.  Mitch was gracious with his time and gave good insight into how he broke into the comic biz, Cap: The Chosen series, and how he managed to eat a steak dinner on Marvel's tab. 
 
Damn talented artists get all the free food.
 
To check out more of his work go to mitchellillustration.com and enjoy some fine art.

Foggy Nelson and the Mach 1 Iron Man Armor

Technorati tags: ,

I love a man that spells his name correctly AND stars as Foggy Nelson (one of the good things that the DD film had going for it).  Anyway, I am still convinced Iron Man will be great when it hit's theatres so I figured I better plug this video a bit.

And how about Robert being at a comic book convention?  How about that?  And yes, Robbie and I are on a first name basis now.

Super Stupid

Now I don't mean this to be disrespectful of people's creations, because believe me, I've had my own share of stupid ideas. But what kind of a world do we live in where a guy dressed up as a bat...wait...no, what kind of a world do we live in where someone spends money and makes money on this:

groan blow dummy nuts

Yes, this is a whole site dedicated to the Super Sexy Heroines of the planet.  Yep.  Semi-porn.  Semi-comics.

Here's some of my favorite quotes from SuperSexyHeroines.com:

"Watch your favourite superheroine as she battles evil (or good) in live action comic book stories."

"The girls often drop by to model for a photo shoot... always in one of the tight-fitting spandex costumes of course!"

"You'll see no cheap imitations - these girls wear the best, tightest and most figure hugging costumes on the planet!"

"Every week one of our superheroines will publish the latest comic book chapter, or upload some images of her latest photo shoot."

So let's make sure we've got it right.  Gals in tight clothes. Check.  Gals in said tight clothes taking breaks from fighting crime to pose for pervs?  Double check!

Here's a sample page of the comic.  For a supposedly sexy comic, they sure do put the balloons in the wrong spots.  I see four nipple blockage offenses in a five panel page!

Will Eisner, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby...look out. 

Okay, now for a really good laugh, go back to the top of this post and check out the guy getting his snicker snookered.  That may be the best pose acting I've ever seen.  I'll have to update that image to my liking...
