This clip of Marvel's Ralph Macchio talking about War Machine's sexy-yet-deadly supersuit, via Wired, is taken from the featurette “Ultimate Iron Man: The Making of Iron Man 2," which is one of the bonuses included in the Iron Man 2 Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.
Iron Man 2 will be released in its many DVD iterations (DVD/Blu-ray combo, two-disc special edition with a digital copy, single-disc DVD and single-disc Blu-ray), on September 28.
As Piranha 3-D chomps into theaters in all of its glorious B-movie gore, we caught up with the man behind Roger Corman's decidedly more modest 1978 original -- director Joe Dante, then making his third feature film ahead of hits like The Howling, The Twilight Zone and, of course, 1984's horror-comedy classic, Gremlins.

Comic author and artist Mike Oeming (Powers, Bulletproof Monk) has illustrated a 160-page webcomic about Valve Software's zombie survival video game Left 4 Dead. The first installment debuted this week, and a new one comes out every Tuesday until October 4.
You can read the first part of Left 4 Dead: The Sacrifice here. This comic, which was penned by the game's designers, follows what happened to Francis, Louis, Zoey, and Bill (the survivors from the first Left 4 Dead game) after their rescue in the "Blood Harvest campaign." The next issue goes up September 21.

Mmm... moist 'n crusty. Clearly I've been going about things the wrong way, using Billy Quizboy to attract fans. When choosing a deformed Venture Bros. supporting character for your posts, you always wanna bet on Molotov.
Thanks for takin' me to school, Blastr! Oh and kudos that new gallery does look super-sweet. Well done.
In Archer's first season, we already saw Cyril's dark journey take him from Stir Fry-day to tossing the salads of ODIN's secretarial staff (with a brief detour to do some Carol/Cheryl chokey stuff along the way). Turns out we ain't seen nothin' yet, as Chris Parnell tells Wired.com that Cyril's long dark night of the soul continues in the upcoming second season.
That's super-cool, although frankly I'm just thrilled to get confirmation that there's gonna be a second season, as things at Archerprod have been disturbingly quiet for some time now, and I feared for the awesome animated show's future. Glad to see that it's secure. More secure than ISIS HQ, at any rate (password: GUEST).
Another day, another deathbot. I didn't realize just how quickly humanoid robot technology was progressing until I watched the video of HRP4 here in action. I found it frightening to say the least.
Current status: peeing self, queuing up "All Along the Watchtower", appraising Edward James Olmos of these latest developments in the evolution of terrifying-yet-sexy humanoid machines.

But on the other hand, it is topical and applies to both current events and the character's mercenary nature.
(By the way, we're gonna bust this kid's balls for using Craigslist but we're totally cool with Silver Sable and Paladin? Or the Black Cat for that matter WTF?)
Also no tiara, so - you know, there's that.
Anyway, blame my love for everything Fred Van Lente writes if you must, but the new Power Man gets the Comics Cavern seal of approval.

I'm just sayin' - my birthday happens to be December 31, and some people find it more convenient to just buy me one big-ass gift, rather than have to get me something for Christmas and then something else like 6 days later.
Just sayin'.
This weekend, the international beer-drinkers' holiday, Oktoberfest, kicks off. And to celebrate, we've rounded up our favorite science fiction/fantasy characters doing what they do best: getting wasted. So have a beer on us, and enjoy our video tribute. Cheers!
Leave it to drunkards to kick off Oktoberfest in September! Enjoy your mood swings and cirrhosis.
Hey check it out Angel fans, it's the actor who plays that dick lawyer from Wolfram & Hart!

Some will see this as being invited to commit hari kiri, others a way to grab some money in the inevitable move to digital, for others a chance to ground digital comics collecting in the narrative of the comic shop.
I understand that Marvel is offering certain comic stores the opportunity to promote its Digital Comics Unlimited service, which allows readers to pay a subscription for access to a library of Marvel comics, past and six-months-before-the-present-(mostly).
Initially, the system with work in a similar manner to Amazon Associates, where retailers will get kickback payments for online readers of their websites who click through to Marvel’s site to subscribe. But it is expected to continue into physical form, with retailers being able to sell such subscriptions to their customers in store at a traditional mark up.
...let's just say I hope you kept the receipt. From the Smoking Gun:
The 28-year-old Floridian, a substitute teacher, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Sarasota cops on battery and exposure of sexual organs charges, according to a probable cause affidavit, a copy of which you'll find here.
A store employee told cops that Black "ejaculated onto the floor and wiped his hand on a toy along with rubbing his foot in the suspected semen on the floor." Employees reported that Black "discarded the magazine behind some toys and proceeded to the front of the store."
A police source told TSG that the toy in question was a light saber (apparently of the Star Wars variety), and that the magazine Black used was the 2010 SI swimsuit issue with model Brooklyn Decker on its cover.
The ick is strong in this one.
Lady Gaga's Meaty Treat
Lady Gaga has caused all kinds off controversy after wearing a meat dress at the MTV Video Music Awards.
I don't see why. I often leave the house covered in my own food. If you have a meat coat people get upset, if you have meat down the front of your Star Wars T-shirt, you're golden.
And I've met women who have had meat underpants. Well, at least it smelt like the... you don't want to hear the rest.
It comes after Gaga recently angered animal rights activists by posing for a Japanese magazine in a 'meat bikini'.
I didn't even know you could get clothes that are made from meat. Although it explains those naked picture of Kerry Katona. Like she could hold off eating.
Thoughts:
1. Raise your hand if you were positive that headline meant something else entirely.
2. Bitch totally stole that idea from Deadpool. Why is Marvel suing the Kirby estate for his creations when they could be going after this wealthy entity of questionable gender who actually did rip off their ideas, and who after all is quite comic-litigation happy shimself.
Kind of like professional wrestling -- actually, exactly like in professional wrestling -- good guys take "heel turns" all the time. They turn evil, hopefully for a semi-reasonable cause, wreak a little havok, and then turn good again, usually just before doing something unforgivable evil (or occasionally just after). But whenever a good guy switches sides, its usually meant to bump sales or cause a publicity stir. The nerds may fly into a rage, but the publishers rake in the cash for it. To celebrate the kick assery of Shadowland, here are some other heroes who took a walk on the evil side but made their way back to the side of the angels.
A bunch of Twilight aficionados got together last week, but there were no squeals or Edward-induced fainting spells. Rather, a group of scientists, educators and authors met at Cambridge to explore how the vampire craze exemplified by the Twilight series may be shaping young minds, notes MSNBC. Sample session: "What Is It About Good Girls and Vampires?"
Normally I loathe "brain trusts" such as these who piggyback on popular trends and sieze the moment to become opportunitstic, self-promoting fear-mongers.
However, I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibllity that the Twilight phenom is a dangerous retardinator, to kids and adults alike.

The great Fred Hembeck re-interprets the classic All-Star Comics #12 in his own inimitable manner. As with most of his work, it is a thing of beauty.

Terminator: 1984 picks up where 2029 left off and, especially interesting for fans of the original Terminator movie, offers an alternative perspective on the events that occurred in the film. For Whedon, getting an opportunity to add to the Terminator legacy was something he was excited to do.

Production is well under way for Doctor Who's sixth season, and yes we're excited about it. It's the first time since the 2005 relaunch of the show that the Doctor and his companion will carry over from one season to the next, and we'll also get to find out more about the "silence" from last season. Except we wont actually see the show return until 2011 (well, there is the Christmas special), so to hold you over until then we've put together a gallery celebrating Karen Gillan and Matt Smith. There's some Who stuff in here, some candid stuff, some professional shots and a few WTF images just to keep things spicy. (Karen in leather? Matt in a dress???) Enjoy.
Let the testicle jokes begin!

EXCLUSIVE: Atlas Comics, the short-lived 1970s imprint founded by Marvel Comics founder Martin Goodman, is rising from the ashes. Goodman's grandson, Jason, has dusted off the original titles and the characters will relaunch with new story lines that begin with the release of The Grim Ghost and Phoenix. The first two titles will be unveiled at New York Comic-Con next month. According to comic book lore, Martin Goodman sold Marvel to Cadence Industries in 1970 for millions of dollars and the promise that his son Chip would stay on as editorial director. When Stan Lee -- Martin's nephew by marriage -- instead showed Chip the door, Martin and Chip hatched Atlas with the goal of vanquishing its rival. It created a battle for some of the era's top artists, and launched such Marvel-esque Atlas heroes as The Scorpion, The Cougar, Planet of Vampires, Ironjaw and The Grim Ghost. The rivalry dissipated shortly after and Atlas folded, but Goodman is remembered not only for giving Marvel and DC a run, but creating an ownership/profit sharing concept and return of original artwork. These things have become important, particularly as superheroes became huge Hollywood currency.
Oh please oh please tell me that they're bringing back the Atlas magazine line too! Damn but I miss My Secret!
Hey - guess who's got two thumbs, is a grown adult, and is super-excited at all these Adult Swim mini figures he just bought from Kidrobot?
This guy.
By the way, she's super-great and everything, but Paget Brewster will always be Birdgirl to me, no matter how high her career, uh, soars.
In what is quite possibly the happiest outburst ever spurred by a video game, or at least in the top 10, a gamer caught a shiny Pokémon, which is an extremely rare type of Pokémon that is exactly the same as a non-shiny one, except it is a different color and has a sparkling sound effect and glittery animation when summoned.
He's one step closer to catching them all! Dreams do come true, folks!!
| Shock the monkey! The Atom will help by, uh, hiding in a corner and shrinking. Maybe he's gonna give Grodd a... sinus headache!! |
| Thanks Flash, please show up and get your arch-enemy extra-enraged while we fight him. Super-helpful as always, Barry! |
In a same way I gave you “Jesus Illusion” and “Glowing Bulb”, here is another negative you stare at for 30 seconds, and then look at some celan white area like your ceiling, piece of paper or your wall. You should see inverted image of Batman’s logo.
