“War of the Supermen” #0 on Free Comic Book Day in 2010.

DC’s big, Superman-related event of 2010 was revealed today over at their official blog, The Source. It’s titled “War of the Superman” and it’s to be the culmination of some two years’ worth of story in the Superman books. More interesting is that, as with Blackest Night, issue #0 of crossover will be handed out [...]

Wants No More Heroes: Heroes Paradise.

Back in 2008, No More Heroes was released on the Wii here in the US. It was a unique game that I enjoyed a great deal despite it being bogged down by a fair number of annoyances. A proper sequel to the game is coming next year on the Wii but, before that, Japan is [...]

A lot of these lists are going to start floating around soon and I don’t expect anything extraordinary in terms of video games out of the rest of December so I thought I’d join in on the fun. To be included in this most prestigious list, a game must have been released at any point [...]

Sketchbook Update – Time Machine Edition

A few days ago, I was organizing the 2008 sketchbook scans in chronological order (because I have OCD like that) and, after being extremely upset over seeing negligible improvement in my current artwork, I realized that there is a lot of good stuff in there that I never got around to scanning or putting up [...]

How Dave Chappelle got me a drink.

How Dave Chappelle got me a drink.

I never intended to use this site to write narrative posts and I certainly didn’t expect to write another one so soon after my Drink and Draw experience but hey, it’s not every day you get to see Dave Chappelle doing stand-up and get a drink from him. Full story after the break.

A “Brütal Legend” review.

A

This is actually less of a review and more of a rant. And it’s not a rant because I hate the game, it’s a rant because I really, really wanted to like it and was met with major disappointment upon playing it. This wasn’t due to lofty expectations of mine either, but because of what [...]

Evil Demented Mickey

Evil Demented Mickey

Here’s my latest coloring piece. And no, I did not draw and color this to make a statement on how The Walt Disney Company is an evil, blood-sucking corporation. Process and stuff after the break.

Google Chrome OS.

Chrome OS, Google’s upcoming operating system, was unveiled yesterday and there are two things about it in particular that I find really interesting. First is the fact that it’s based entirely around the Chrome browser, meaning there will be absolutely no external applications on it, everything will be web-based. Second is that all your documents [...]

On Wally West’s “new” costume

On Wally West's

Above is the cover to The Flash: Rebirth #5 (click on it for full version). It deserves special mention because it’s a fantastic homage to Carmine Infantino’s classic “Flash of Two Worlds” cover from The Flash (vol. 1) #123. That is, however, not why I’ve decided to write about this particular issue. Earlier this year, [...]

Holy shit! Freakin’ Kyle Baker added me on Facebook!

Holy shit! Freakin' Kyle Baker added me on Facebook!

Drink and Draw is a monthly get-together among artists in the NYC area where people basically gather in a bar, pull out their sketchbooks and drink and (what else?) draw. Last Wednesday was the second time I attended such a meeting (out of the three they’ve had so far) and it was a lot of [...]
