This poster for Edgar Wright’s (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) live action adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim comics was revealed at Showest 2010 and it’s a little bit on the epic side. Of epic epicness.

This poster for Edgar Wright’s (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz) live action adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s Scott Pilgrim comics was revealed at Showest 2010 and it’s a little bit on the epic side. Of epic epicness.

I love that they decided to mirror O’Malleys art in the poster. It helps to boost the confidence that they’ll be staying true to the feel of the books.

Here’s the original art for comparison.

Now if they’d just hurry up and release a trailer already.

The trailer for Iron man 2 is all over the internet and you’ve probably seen it a gazillion times already, but here’s my take on it: Jokes, armor, explosions, more armor, Sam Rockwell, more armor, cool effects, Scarlett Johansson making my pants tight, and Robert Downey Jr. being awesome.

Still kinda’ bummed about what’s-his-face replacing Terrence Howard as War Machine, but I have a feeling I’ll get over it and enjoy the ride.

Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley retweeted these custom statues of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona Flowers with Scott hiding in her purse, (Remember? In that one part from the comix when that thing happened? Fun times.) made by Ollie_jones.

I’m totally and completely one hundred fucking percent ready for the onslaught of Scott Pilgrim promo junk that’s most likely about to drop with the release of the movie in August. Bring it on me!

Sorry. If you were looking for the trailer for the upcoming Scott Pilgrim movie, you won’t find it in this post. Instead, I humbly offer you this picture of a trailer with the Scott Pilgrim logo on it.

Josh “f+” Pearce is a toy artist who’s done quite a few Spawn Dunnys as commission pieces for collectors. He sent me a link to his blog post featuring all the Spawn Dunnys he’s done – starting with his first one ever(above) and ending with he latest one (at the end of the post) – and asked if I’d share them, so I am.

Warning: Truly sickening work lies ahead. Prepare to be jealous of this dude’s talent.

About the customs, fplus says:

So, when i first started taking commissions, I got a lot of requests for Spawns. It’s been a blast doing them, and I’ve always tried to make each one different. I imagine at some point I’ll stop doing Spawns as my original designs are becoming more and more popular, but for now, I thought it would be fun to reflect on all the pieces I have done so far…

Mr. fplus then goes on to say:

I’m a huge Spawn fan, so each one of these has been a great pleasure to do! I’ve still got a few more versions I’d like to do, gunslinger, viking, and maybe a maskless one at some point. Hopefully I can find the time to do these soon! 

Man, you’d think he’d be sick of doing Spawns by now, but he said it himself, he’s totally down to do more. Which is good, because I don’t think we’ll ever get sick of looking at ‘em.

Todd McFarlane, hire this guy!

Marvel just created the most amazing thing in capsule toy dispensing technology since the slap bracelet. Instead of wasting money on capsules that just get thrown away, the toy makers have decided to make each character’s head the capsule!

Marvel just created the most amazing thing in capsule toy dispensing technology since the slap bracelet. Instead of wasting money on capsules that just get thrown away, the toy makers have decided to make each character’s head the capsule!

The character lineup consists of The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man. They’re a measly $1 each and only stand at about 2″, but their bodies come packaged inside of their heads and they’re just so freakin’ cute!

When I first saw the above image, I thought that this was some sort of retail packaging for people who don’t have any cool capsule dispensers in their area, but it’s just a display for the vending machines. I’m gonna’ have to bug my local comic shop to get these since they usually have some pretty cool capsule stuff in their machines.

If you want to bug your local shops to carry these as well, tell them they can order them in bulk from Gumball.com at this link: http://www.gumball.com/marvel-heroes-2-inch-self-vending-buildable-figures.aspx

These things look way fun to collect. Too bad there’s only six different characters.

I could totally see talented toy customizers making some sick work with these things.

Written and drawn by Tsutomu Nihei (Wolverine: Snikt!, Blame!, NSE, and NOiSE), Biomega will be sure to remind oldschool anime heads of the times when anime wasn’t all about cute [...]]]>

Biomega is a gorgeously drawn, brilliantly told, gory sci-fi masterpiece. It’s Ghost in the Shell meets Akira, with zombies. The second volume can’t come soon enough!

Written and drawn by Tsutomu Nihei (Wolverine: Snikt!, Blame!, NSE, and NOiSE), Biomega will be sure to remind oldschool anime heads of the times when anime wasn’t all about cute girls in frilly outfits or never-ending series about people leveling up and fighting for the fate of something or other. This story takes a page right from the best of cyberpunk anime and mixes kick-ass action and gore with a story that doesn’t suck.

The year is 3006 A.D. The N5S virus has turned most of the world’s population into zombie-like mutants. Zoichi Kanoe, a synthetic human agent created by Tao Heavy Industry, and Fuyu Kanoe, the holographic A.I. system in Zoichi’s bike are on a mission to find the key to humanity’s salvation: a girl named Eon Green who has the power to transmute the N5S virus.

The first volume of Biomega starts off with Zoichi and Fuyu heading to 9J0, a man-made floating island city in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. They’re in search of Eon Green, but they’re not the only one’s searching. The Public Health Service has sent their Compulsory Execution Unit to retrieve the girl so that they can use her cells to aid in creating a new race of superhumans immune to the N5S virus and purge the old race.

And there’s also a talking grizzly bear.

AWESOME
Eyegasmic: Tsutomu Nihei’s art is just incredible. The writer-slash-artist has a background in architecture study, and it shows in the incredible structures and post-apocalyptic backdrops where Biomega takes place. There’s also an element of speed and pacing in the visual storytelling that makes the action scenes seem so freaking fluid — almost like your watching a fully animated movie on each page.

Cyberpunk’s Not Dead: Nihei is well-known for his cyberpunk style when it comes to his manga — Blame! being the most popular example of this — but not only does it look good, but the ideas and technology in Biomega are just so damned creative. Tell most people to come up with a zombie apocalypse tale, and they’ll more than likely give you Dawn of the Dead. Rather than trudge down that beaten path, Nihei incorporates things like a government and corporations waging war against each other in the city streets and blends it with cool techie elements like a nearly indestructible motorcycle with holographic A.I. and secret compartments for things like battle axes and rifles that fire bullets into space. Your average zombie story, this ain’t.

Unusual Suspects: Whether it’s a creepy cyborg in a butcher’s apron with surveillance eyeballs embedded across the top of his skull, a creepy mummy chick, or a talking bear, Biomega has a truly awesome cast of characters.

Whoa There, Grizzly Bear!: Did I mention there’s a talking bear in this? Because there is. And the thing of it is, he fits in so well with the rest of the Biomega universe that you never really question just why the hell a bear is talking and shooting at people.

Not Awesome:
Wait, What Just Happened?: Maybe it’s because of the sketchy, heavily hatched art style, or maybe it’s just because there’s long gaps containing pages with no dialog and the mind just tends to wander, but I found myself having to reread a few pages because I just couldn’t follow the action or make out what was going on in a particular panel.

If you haven’t read a good manga in a while, or if you’re just getting into manga, I can’t recommend Biomega enough. Even if you’re sick of the apocalyptic zombie genre, there’s enough originality and overall awesomeness going on in this book that makes it deserves the attention of any fan of great stories.

I’m normally a fan of the licensed Mr. Potato Head toys, but this one just reminds of a fat guy and his rolls pouring out of an old cosplay costume.

Taking a page straight from the Marvel Team-Up comics, Marvel and Tokidoki will be joining forces for an apparel collection coming out on February 25th.

Taking a page straight from the Marvel Team-Up comics, Marvel and Tokidoki will be joining forces for an apparel collection coming out on February 25th.

I started to lose some faith in Tokidoki when I heard about the crossover with the Black Eyed Peas (ugh!), but he’s redeemed himself. This line looks fresh to death.

You’ll be able to score this stuff February 25th from the Tokidoki Online Shop, the Melrose store in LA, or the Soho Capsule Store.

I’ve been a fan of Tokidoki for a few years now, but I’ve never felt comfortable purchasing any of the clothes because, let’s face it, it’s not the manliest gear around, but I wouldn’t have a problem rocking any of this stuff (‘cept for the pink tee).

My absolute favorites are definitely the Spidey, Thor, Iron-Man, and Human Torch tees and the grey hoodie. Now only if they made Marvel figures in the Tokidoki style.

Oh great, now everyone’s gonna’ be doing this.
