This is what I will be doing Feb 5th

Um, what? I haven’t watched Smallville in YEARS. What happened? So, Clark can’t fly on Smallville in order to keep him “grounded”, but meanwhile they will introduce the ENTIRETY of the Justice Society? BWAHAHAhahahHAha…

Ok, now that I’m over the initial shock, I totally have to watch this. I love seeing live action superpowers and this looks like it is going to be *amazing* one way or another.

Any ideas on a drinking game?

Smaller is better pt. 2

I’m a girl who like figures of pretty girls. But I’m also very picky. I’ve really tried to like the Ame Comi figures. The new takes on the ladies of DC are always interesting and attractive in the previews, but typically disappointing in reality. The level of detail is too low for a nine inch figure - they would be gorgeous at seven inches.

The next two in the Ame Comi line being solicited are another Batgirl (based on Cassandra this time rather than Barbara) and another Catwoman (based on the 80’s rather than the 00’s). I find the Catwoman more appealing of the two, but don’t understand the hightech touches of an ear antenna and mechaboots. Once again, not for me.

It just keeps getting better…

Many people have been telling me that I should be reading Scott Pilgrim. Evidently, it is the tale of a 24-year-old Canadian slacker, hero, wannabe-rockstar, who falls in love with American delivery girl, but must defeat her seven “evil ex-boyfriends” in order to date her. I’m told that shenanigans get quite out of hand. But, being the art whore that I am, I was never able to get that drawn into the simplified art style (I like the pretty!).

But now I’ve heard that Edgar Wright is making a movie adaptation. Don’t know who Edgar Wright is? He directed some little movies you might have heard of called Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz! Color me interested!

This revelation in turn lead me to Edgar’s IMDB page where it was revealed that he is also in line to direct an Ant-Man movie!!! I *pray* that this will be based on The Irredeemable Ant-Man as Edgar Wright could handle that perfectly! (and no one wants to see a Ultimate wife-beating Ant-Man, or regular continuity “I’m a Yellow-Jacket! No, I’m Giant Man! No, I’m the Wasp! No, I’m a Skrull!” Ant-Man movie)

How much for the beginning of it all?

What would you spent $400,000 on? A house? A Ferrari? How about an a copy of the first appearance of Superman? Going up for auction today, this copy of Action Comic #1 is the rarest of rare. It is one of only 20 known in existence to be unretouched and one of only five known CGC Graded copies with a grade above VG (CGC 4.0). The Ferrari comment was an actual offer of trade made to the current owner which was refused. Maybe they would have accepted a Bugatti Veyron.
