Cool Comics Cover of the Day

Kevin Maguire's "Justice League" covers were often fun and with good humor. I could pick a dozen out of the famous late 80s-early 90s run from Maguire and Giffen/DeMatteis.

If I take AciPhex, will it help with my ass effects?

Was it really a good idea for Rob Van Dam to win the TNA World Championship the day before 4/20 considering what happened last time he won a world title? We KNOW how he'll be celebrating today!

I'd buy that for a dollar #3

Robocop was Jesus, apparently.

No, not the proper Spidey, as this is the Ben Reilly era, but any Mike Wieringo Spider-Man is incredible to me. This may be blasphemy to say in light of Steve Ditko, Romitas Sr. and Jr., and even Todd McFarlane, but for me Wieringo's Spidey is the best interpretation of Spidey there is. This cover doesn't even fully display how awesome his version is, but I love this because of the colors on that white background, and the energy he always brought to the character.

Cool Comic Cover of the Day(x2)

Nearly every cover from "Fables" could be included here. These are two of my favorites because of how haunting they are. The Flycatcher one (#60) in particular is strong to me because of what he had recently learned about his family, and then where he was about to go as a character.

I could probably put all of the "Wildcats Version 3.0" covers on here. They were all fantastic design pieces, which worked in the book's favor since it was about the fast-paced progress of technology. These were done by Dustin Nguyen and Rian Hughes. The previous "Wildcats" series had some great covers by that series' artist Sean Phillips, and I may spotlight them sometime as well.

Always loved this one. I'll do some non-Marvel sometime, too.

Speaking of "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford," I seem to recall people complaining about that movie when it came out, like on Ebert's site and what not. They were complaining that the title ruined the ending of the movie for them. Really. How stupid can you be? Read a damn historical book.

But that's also like "Oh no, 'Return of the Jedi?' You mean they return in this movie? That totally ruined the ending for me!" or "'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade!' That means there will be no more crusades! The title ruined it!"

That's nonsense, that crap I just wrote. But seriously, I always needed to complain about that.

Top Ten Reality Shows I Don't Watch

This was the first image that popper up when I googled "reality show." I guess that's the best approximation for reality TV as I can think of.

Hot Damn! Top Ten lists!

#10 - Jersey Shore/The Hill/whatever - They all blend together to me.
#9 - Survivor - Is this even still on?
#8 - Big Brother - Is this even still on?
#7 - The Amazing Race - Ok, I'll cop to watching an episode or two, not a bad show.
#6 - That modeling show with Heidi Klum and that gun fella - He annoys the crap outta me.
#5 - Anything with Tyra Banks - She's psychotic. Isn't she? She seems it.
#4 - Dancing With the Stars - Stars? Really?
#3 - American Idol - I gotta soft spot for Kelly Clarkson, but I can't forgive any show that made Clay Aiken "famous."
#2 - Anything with Jesse James in it - What a total douche canoe. What a complete charismatic black hole of suck. I will tap dance on the grave of his "career." If reality shows were actually real, then "Jesse James is a Dead Man" would be the greatest ever. I would totally pay money to see a movie called "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Glorious Hero Robert Ford." What a tool.

Oh, and he apparently cheated on Sandra Bullock? You heard about that? God, what a loser.

#1 - Road Rules/Real World Challenge - Is this even still on?

Four I don't mind -
#4 - Temptation Island Season 1 - No, it sucks, but I actually watched every single episode of the first season just to see if I could.
#3 - Food Network - Isn't this just one big channel of reality TV? I gotta say I watch it then.
#2 - Tough Enough - Loved it for the wrestling, hated it for the "Real World" crap.
#1 - The Joe Schmo Show - Greatest reality show ever. It was a satire on reality TV AND a reality show at the same time. Brilliant TV.

Reality show I wanna see return:
Who Wants To Marry a Multi-Millionaire - How skanky was that show? And all the controversy after made it even better.

I'd buy that for a dollar #2

Has it really taken me this long to do a proper comic book post? Crazy.

Monday Night Wrestling 4.5.10

This is becoming more of a wrestling blog than what I intended, but that could be due to all the various things going on in the industry right now. I got other things coming, so you -2 fans I have out there be ready! Oh yeah!

Anywho, TNA Impact last night. Here's how the creative meeting before hand goes on in my mind:

Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff walk into a meeting room where Dixie Carter, Vince Russo, Jeff Jarrett, some other dude, the Hamburglar, Bubba the Love Sponge, and some other dude are sitting. The Bisch says, "Guys, we got three big matches tonight. We got Desmond Wolfe vs. The Pope D'Angelo Dinero, which could be great since those are great workers. We got a number one contenders match for the tag titles between Team 3-D and Motor City Machine Guns, so that's exciting. And we have a ladder match between Kurt Angle and Mr. Anderson! Isn't that great?! And we have a great women's roster ready to go, a lot of hungry young guys wanting to make a mark, and many former world champions and veterans wanting to teach the young guys how to make it in the wrestling world. We have all the tools to make this show tonight one for the ages and really show wrestling fans we can compete with WWE. So here's my question, are you ready for this?"

All the members of the creative team nod while Bubba tweets.

Bisch: "What can we, as the creative minds of this company, do to screw this show up even more than we have the last month? I mean, everything stupid and unconscionable that we could possibly do to make this a terrible, terrible show?"

And that's what TNA is all about.

Dead Wrestler Watch 2010 Addendum

Wow, this has become quite the morbid blog today. This is just the reality of a passionate wrestling fan I'm afraid. Interesting statistics on wrestling deaths since 1998 here at EWrestling News. What's really sad? Going through the list and going, "Holy crap! I didn't know he/she was dead!" I did that twice at least.

Two more today: Glen Bussell, 22, and Bob Ziolkowski, 34. Look here at PW Torch.

Age 50 and Under Dead Wrestler Watch 2010

Chris "Kanyon" Klucsaritis, dead at age 40. He was a former WCW and WWE performer. Started out as Mortis in WCW, then went on to feud and tag team with Raven and Saturn, then Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow as the Jersey Triad. Worked on several wrestling related movies, then returned to WCW to perform as Chris "Champagne" Kanyon. Moved to WWE when they bought out WCW and got some notoriety with his "Who Betta Than Kanyon?" catch phrase before eventually getting released. Great performer, very innovative and creative, lots of potential never fully realized due to the usual politics, personality conflicts, whatever.
