Truth in Comic Book Solicts
Yesterday on one of the comic book sites I frequent, I came across the March Dynamite Comics Solicits. There I found this gem:
By John Layman and Miguel Montenegro, covers by UDON Studios and Fabiano Neves.

The crossover no one asked for -- or expected -- is finally here! Too big for the movie or television screen, Dynamite presents the ultimate "Why Not?" tale as Ash and Army of Darkness meets Xena the Warrior Princess, in the first issue of this 4-part mini-series event! The first issue of this unnecessary adventure finds Ashley J. Williams transported to the world of Xena and Gabrielle, and most importantly Autolycus who bears more than a passing resemblance to our main man Ash. Throw in the Necronomicon, and an evil little Ash taking charge of a group of fairies (the winged kind), and you've got yourselves a story!
Now, it's no secret that Dynamite has been milking the Army of Darkness "Ash" license for a while now, crossing over with just about anything... and well... why not?

Hellboy II: The Golden Army Trailer
Thursday, December 20
I'll be honest, I may not looking forward to this as much as say... maybe Cloverfield, Iron Man, or The Dark Knight... but it looks to have more... "Umpfh" than the first one.

Chloe Comes To The Comics
Wednesday, December 19
They've been talking about it for years and now Newsarama.com has confirmed that the character of Chloe Sullivan of Smallville will be making her way into DC Comics continuity with issue #674 of Superman, hitting comic book stores on March 12.Makes perfect sense to me. A handful of cannon Superman ideals have come from other media besides the comic books. Hell, both Kryptonite and Jimmy Olsen came from the radio program. And even the show Smallville, most of Superman's early adventures as a boy was started in a book, not a comic book.
So it works.

People are Stupid
Here's a little blog post from a comic book writer, who's site I visit frequently.
Several young Jewish kids were attacked by ten angry poorly educated Christians (yes, their religion is relevant as is their lack of education; you'll see why) on the subway the other day. The Jewish kids were returning from a Chanukah celebration and were carrying a menorah. The Christian guys (one of whom has a Myspace page depicting him holding a gun to his girlfriend's head; what a riot) wished the Jewish kids a Merry Christmas. Apparently they thought they were being sarcastic and were under the impression the Jewish kids would feel duly insulted. Instead the Jewish kids wished them a happy Chanukah right back. The Christians took offense, angrily declaring that the Jews had killed their Savior (see, that's where the religion is relevant) on Chanukah (that's where the lack of education is relevant) and that the Jewish kids were going to go straight to hell. Apparently endeavoring to give them a preview, one of them spat on one of the Jewish kids. The Jewish kid calmly declared intent to, like Jesus, turn the other cheek. Whereupon the Christian guys attacked.
And who stepped in to intervene? A Muslim guy, who got two black eyes for his trouble.
Fortunately police were present at the next stop to arrest the attackers, one of whom was already slated to begin a six month jail stay in January for beating up a black guy in 2005.

Random Musing
Tuesday, December 18
While at K-mart last night, some guy leaving my department was covered head to toe in camouflage. Shirt, coat, hat.... head to toe. Anyways, I so desperately wanted to say this but held my tongue, "Oops, hey.... almost didn't see you there guy!"

"w00t" Is Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year
Wednesday, December 12
In one of my daily sites I visit, I came across this little nugget of info.
Merriam-Webster are wordsmiths of the highest order. So much so they put out a dictionary every once in a while. You may know this. What you may not know is that they recently held an online poll, asking for the "word that best sums up 2007". That word would be their "Word of the Year". This year's winner? W00t, which was described by MW as "a hybrid of letters and numbers used by gamers as an exclamation of happiness". If w00t best sums up 2007, 2007 must be destroyed!

Yes, I'm busy here lately with work, but while I'm signed on here, I'm lazy enough to admit that I don't care enough to post anything worthwhile or substantial. But I'm still here. Heh. Sorry.

Found this pic on a videogame site I checkout. This tree is in Spain and is actually animated, made up of thousands of LED lights.
