Outstanding.

2008-02-01T00:16:24Z

Thank you, Cracked.com for comparing me and my kind to Hilter. We never get that. Masterful work.

The marketers have taken over.

So I just read the one-shot What If? Spider-Man Vs. Wolverine "#1" and it was a ton of fun but that dang John Romita Jr. cover is SO friggin' misleading. Yes, yes, we're all tired of cover art not matching the interiors but when two characters are fighting, you would expect them to at least be mad at or even disagree with one another inside the comic. Nope. What a crock.

He's a dealer.

Thanks AiC.

Brian Wood is badass.

2008-01-30T16:59:22Z

And like me, he's putting it free on the web.

I'd rather than be bothered by a second of ads than donate. At least the interweb's better than print (which gets you both ways).

No... no telethons for this nerd.

I just watched Quesada on Colbert

2008-01-30T04:55:23Z

And it wasn't pretty. Colbert is a massive comic fanboy and shouldn't be painfully told what Skrulls are. I hope folks like tomorrows comic more than those stickers and graphics.

To tell you the truth, the whole thing was cool. ANYTHING that brings comics to the forefront is a good thing, right? That's my whole wacky point of being.

Oh wait... Jon Stewart is upstaging my friend right now. :(

-and so is, Alex Ross... the music critic??

It's that first sip of coffee...

2008-01-29T23:09:02Z

Good news for me!

2008-01-27T21:54:31Z

I just love this changing world of ours. Could TV ads' value be down while new media be up? SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Heath Ledger dead??

2008-01-22T22:16:00Z

According to New York City police, Heath Ledger was pronounced dead just this afternoon. Very shockingly tragic indeed.

Here's an advance look at Wednesday's show with the best-selling science fiction novelist. Most of the hour will be designated to talking about sci-fi in holistic terms, geeks' role in modern society and other fun topics. It should be up early... just not sure when.

I love you, Jim

2008-01-22T04:16:32Z

Jim Lujan was one of my groomsmen and is celebrating the quick recovery of his five year-old's surgery. I'm in awe of his and little Julia's calm, faithful attitude during the trying past week. On top of all of this, you should know about how cool Jim's cartoons are. Here is his latest peice, 'The Customer Serviced.'

Early Trek Trailer?

2008-01-19T07:17:07Z

I almost lost at old-school, original trilogy Star Wars Trivial Pursuit tonight... gah! I must be off my game. Or I'm just hanging around fellow uber-nerds more. Feels good.

The Scoop wrote up a nice sumpin-sumpin for Sunday's show.

So because Oliver's such a 'super-star' (see link above) and an outed Trekkie... I'll post this in honor of him:

Thanks for the link, Sean.

For all the One More Day haters in the house...

2008-01-18T04:37:33Z

Tune in this Sunday at 7/6c for an awesome FbR:

This is by the incredible Justin Stewart.

I recorded an interview with sci-fi novelist John Ringo that was pretty dang good - it went over an hour so after a bit of editing it'll be next Wednesday's episode it looks like. Let me know if anyone reading this has ever read any of Ringo's books.

I hope everyone is liking these new shows. (sorry this post is so short but I'm uber-tired from all the work today))

I'm on the Fanboard Cast right now!

Dispite some troll's ramblings, the latest episode of Fanboy Radio (#445 w/ Kesel & Sablik) is now up. Things have just been insane as the following press release suggests:

The Harvey-Award winner discusses the paperback release of ‘Black Hole’ the complete collection of his comic series from Pantheon Books, his career, art style, past and future work.

"Charles Burns is without question one of the greats." says host of the show, David Hopkins. “"His work has such depth, both fascinating and terrifying -- it demands to be read and re-read, studied, dissected, and enjoyed. It was a great pleasure to be part of this exclusive radio interview."

You can listen in to the live broadcast of Fanboy Radio #446 with Charles Burns this Wednesday, January 16th, at 2:00pm Eastern / 1:00pm Central / 11:00am Pacific. A podcast of the show will be available soon after the broadcast.

Hundreds of hours of past episodes are up now at the official Fanboy Radio website - http://www.fanboyradio.com

With Christian Beranek - let me know what you think.

NOOOOOOOO!

2008-01-14T16:24:33Z

Eli Manning?? ELI Manning!!?!? Friggin mouth-breather and his NY secondary ruined an awesome party today. Tony Romo screws up another post season for us. I guess he's great under pressure but not THAT much pressure.

And exactly how much should we blame... her? Think she's going to show 'ol Romo the boot?

I... hate... the Patriots.

2008-01-13T00:51:08Z

They are one of the greatest super-villains in sports and I LOVE rooting against them. GO JAGS!

The only thing I'll enjoy more than watching tonight's game is tomorrow's with my hometown anti-heroes, The Dallas Cowboys! GO cowBOYS!!!?!

Excuse me whilsts I go into a beer and football haze for the next 30 hours or so.

Always at the station

2008-01-13T00:21:10Z

I have a long shift at KTCU today, both a family and friend parties between the long hours tomorrow so I'm having to make this post uber short. I interviewed Filip Sablik & Barbara Kesel. Should be a good show - I really dug the interviews because I know so much about these guests. Seems like Indie comics have had all the FbR the spotlight lately except for the rather short, exemplary Spider-Man converstion. An announcement to be made very soon will solidify the above comment.

Gah... fanboy.tv & forums down

2008-01-11T17:06:11Z

It's looking like the guys who set up fanboy.tv's website have kind-of disappeared. I think I've got a bead on bringing it all back and believe none of the hard data is lost. Does anyone have any favorite message board / forum webware they'd like to pass on to me?

TV CONFESSIONS

2008-01-10T03:04:30Z

Below are just two samples of television programs I am ashamed I love:

As a general rule, I don't like reality tv, but there are a couple, like Project Runway & Clean House that are so well produced that they're pretty incredible.

Okay... comic book reviews tomorrow guys. I promise.

Brazil the movie
