Static Shock was one of the few “black” comics that I found really interesting from the Milestone (?) comic company. Icon was crap, Static was where it was at.

DC is now dead to me
Remember the awesome Power Girl costume? It was one of the truly awesome things about the DCU, and now they’ve gone and destroyed that too, along with everything else that you’ve ever held dear. The only endearing part of her new costume is the “P” that’s been incorporated into the cape design.

Smallville Season 11
Fans of the smash-hit TV series Smallville haven’t had much to cheer about since the show ended its critically acclaimed 10-year run on The CW last May. That’s all going to change with the upcoming new comic book series from DC Entertainment: SMALLVILLE SEASON 11. Written by former Smallville show scribe Bryan Q. Miller, the new digital first series will be published digitally on April 13, 2012, with new digital chapters released weekly thereafter. Additionally, the online chapters will be offered in a print periodical, along with an episode guide to the hit television series, with the first print issue released on May 16.
When Buffy was canceled, but then reborn in comic book form, I was very happy because there were still stories to be told in the Buffy universe, same with Angel. When Smallville ended, I was relived that it was finally over, because they had been rehashing the same damn storylines for the previous 2 years. Not sure I think that there’s very much left to tell in the Smallville universe that isn’t being told in the mainstream Superman books.

Remember those original Avengers Scents? Well, here’s two more, leaving just Hawkeye and The Black Widow left to be scented… personally they could likely just bottle up some Scarlet sweat up in a bottle and most comic geeks would be happy, but I’m sure they’ll come up with something that’s slightly more marketable than that.
Who could kill Superman?
16 minutes long, which is a god damn eternity for internet videos, but it’s hilarious. I lived through this man, Superman DIED.

Rare Calvin & Hobbes watercolor up for auction
Calvin & Hobbes cartoonist Bill Watterson is notoriously reclusive, and original pieces of art from his long-running strip are just as rare. That’s why recent news by Heritage Auctions that a piece of his is going up for sale is worth perking your ears up about.
I miss the days of starting my morning reading Calvin and Hobbes in the newpaper before I went to school.

Art Appreciation Avengers variant covers
I really do enjoy when the comic guys make these off the wall variant sets, but I really don’t understand why the Avengers variants are showing up in Spider-man and x-force.

Finally four unique fragrances assembled together for the first time!
Yes, for only $60, you too can smell like an alcholic that’s been locked inside a iron can for 8 hours. Or a god that hasn’t been introduced to a razor blade yet, or perhaps even a man that has freezer burn. I dont’ even want to know what the mutated / radioactive flesh of The Incredible Hulk would smell like…

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Action Figures Revealed
Nickelodeon is releasing a new CG animated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show later this year, and that of course means new toys.
1 – These toys look awesome, exactly how I would like my TMNT items to look.
2 – when I was much younger, 10 or 11, I had a TON of these guys, and was going over to a friends house to play with them and their own TMNT collection, there was a disagreement over who owned what, and some punches got thrown. Ultimately the cops showed up and everyone was all up in a tizzy over what I believe was Casey Jones action figure. I want to say this was my first brush with the law, certainly wasn’t my last…

and the original author says:
“I tend to take this latest development as a kind of eager confirmation that they are still apparently dependent on ideas that I had 25 years ago.”
of course, we already knew that he has a bone to pick with the comic book industry on a whole and DC in particular, so it’s no surprise that he’s not rainbows and sunshine about the situation. My opinion of course, is that this may be one of the worst things, or the best things, to ever happen to DC. They seem to be struggling to find a clear direction to go in with their properties, something that Marvel/Disney seems to be doing damn well.
Austrailian Supermodel Miranda Kerr as Wonder Woman
“We’re a fashion magazine — and this is art,” says Thelma. “We’re taking a risk — because Wonder Woman is a globally recognised icon and not just anyone could pull it off. But Miranda is an Australian icon herself… She is our wonder woman. And she has the presence to pull this re-creation off.”
