I'm Sick....

....but Rob isn't. You should be reading his blog anyway, but if you're not then this is a good time to start. I'll start posting in the next day or so when I feel better.

The Worst Artist In The Universe

How Rob Liefeld gets work is so far beyond me I can't even imagine someone paying him money to ruin an otherwise entertaining title like Titans.

There are so many things wrong with his "style" that it seems generous to only point out one thing, but here we go.

He can apparently only draw one kind of mouth, small and wide open.

If you feel like really abusing your eyes, here's the full preview of his upcoming Titans project.

Pathetic

Comic-Keys (aka Hammer), the most successful seller of high grade restored (undisclosed) comics on Ebay actually wants people to beleive he can detect trimming from a scan. If he can't detect trimming on books he's selling and holding in his hand (his claim) then how can he do it from a scan?

Jackman Signs Wolverine Deal

Hugh will act as lead actor and producer in a "Wolverine" spinoff. The actor already has a script, written by David Benioff ("Troy"), that he thinks is rock-solid, so we can expect "Wolverine" to head into production relatively soon. Well, soon after "X3" wraps, anyway."

Cool.

One Of The Best Comics I've Ever Read

http://www.timespell.com/zoomies/

The art is sharp and the dialog is smart. Rich has a talent for drawing the reader in and not letting go. Do yourself a favor and take the time to read every available page on the site. Then buy the book.
