Run out right now and add DC's Metal Men, written and drawn by Duncan Rouleau, to your pull list. Here's 3 reasons why:#1: The Baloonatic - a sentient balloon terrorizing Metropolis#2: The Death Metal Men - a villainous counter-team created by Dr. T.O. Morrow which hosts menacing metallic members like Uranium, Strontium and Thorium!#3: Psuedo science lessons and amazing artwork laid out in

Last night I had a dream about Monkey Magic. I’m serious. I dreamt I was the fishy dude Sandy, but (clearly) I was a girl: call me Fish-She Sandy. And I still found Pigsy repulsive. And I could do cool things with a wooden staff (though it wasn’t magical like Monkey’s, and hold the rude jokes please), kind of like Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess, if she happened to be a human-fish hybrid.(

Check out the poster to the left. That's for the documentary debuting on 9/7/07 titled, "You Must Be this Tall."It's a doc about the now abandoned and destroyed Rocky Point Amusement Park - a RI institution until about 15 years ago when it went bankrupt.I spent many a summer day at the park in my youth, often feeling sick on the Rock & Roll, the Corkscrew, or the Musik Express after chowder and

I've been trying to get through stacks of dvds, books and comics the last few weeks, and did manage to catch a few of the Summer television series. I really like the concept of a finite series, call it a mini-series or whatever, but a story ultimately can only be judged by it's resolution. That's why I hope Lost will succeed by having a definitive end as opposed to the many series that I loved

Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro in "Heat." Nas and Jay-Z on Hip Hop Is Dead's "Black Republican." When two artistic icons come together, the expectations are nothing less than epic. So when Kanye West and Lil Wayne (a.k.a. The Rapper Eater a.k.a. The Best Rapper Alive) team up on "Barry Bonds" for West's upcoming Graduation...well, disappointment is a strong word, but it could have been better.

Television has taught me many things. It is truly the great educator.“Dear TV,“Thank you for teaching me that I can kill a vampire by staking it through the heart or decapitating it, but that garlic and crosses will only scare it off or burn it, not kill it.“I am a better person for knowing that if you put a bunch of good-looking women in a mansion with a complete dork of a guy, and roses are up

Nothing has propelled the collectible market more than eBay. Originally focusing on Pez memorabilia, eBay has become the online auction house and has introduced an entire subculture of online auctions. This week I attended the sixth annual eBay Live! convention in Boston and found it to be an interesting experience. In some ways, it is very reminiscent of a comic book or sci-fi convention.

R. Kelly has put out nine albums. That's quite an output for someone who is marginally talented. But what do I know? I'm a silly blogger. And he's the King of R and B. He's managed to come back after getting thoroughly clowned by Dave Chappelle and...ahem...other issues.

I loved Star Wars so much when I first saw it in the theaters. I had to convince my Dad to bring me, and he only caved in and brought me and my two brothers because , Time Magazine called it the greatest movie of all time. I collected the Topps cards, read the less than stellar Marvel Comics adaptation, and listened to the soundtrack (on what we called a phonograph.)When I read the novelization

Star Wars--it’s incredible now to think of how meaningless those two words were when I first heard them.In 1977 I was fifteen years old, and not much of a science fiction fan. Most sci-fi movies and TV shows were just too boring--it was all either sterile psychodramas like Space: 1999, 2001, and Silent Running, or back-lot space operas like Star Trek and Lost in Space. I was a huge reader of

It was thirty years ago today... Or more appropriately, a long time ago, that I saw the original Star Wars with my father on opening weekend at a local movie theater. Prior to that screening, my obsessions were super-heroes (specifically Batman), Muppets and The Six Million Dollar Man. There was no such thing as Star Wars. And then there was. And everything was different. A long time ago, I

That guy who got shot nine times is back. And he's a sexy roller-coaster, so to speak.
