This French band I heard about on the radio, Wolfgang Amadaeus Phoenix.

isn't the band just Phoenix, and their latest album is Wolfgang Amadaeus Phoenix? could've sworn...
but, auto-tune the news is awesome.

I could be mistaken. I only heard their name once, and I thought they said they BAND was Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. I never caught the album name.

"Eyeshield 21", a football manga. I'm not even into football, but it's good stuff nevertheless.
Particularly fun to read because the quarterback's a psychopath sadist.

This picture actually kinda freaks me out. I, like, don't want to stare at it too long lest Duane jumps out of my computer screen and gets me. O.O;;

Ugly handwriting ftw.

It's not a song, it's a sandwich.

PS: Why is there so many wild rabbits in Illinois?

Because there's nothing else wants to be here.

It makes me a sad panda that I wasn't there to meet everybody, even if I'm not as active as you guys are here.
Where the devil where you guys that you were all together, anyway?

cosplay isn't comics either. nerd.

 

holy crap! How come I'm only seeing the button store now?!

My thoughts exactly. D:

As an avid DC fan, I picked up a Justice League comic:

This is freaking FANTASTIC. What I love about Justice League and other team-based superhero comics is that the focus can be on ANYBODY, so the variety is wide and fresh. This one is mainly about Red Tornado, a very under-valued air elemental in an android body. However, it also includes some other under-appreciated characters, such as Vixen, Black Lightning, Arsenal (formerly Speedy), and the new Hawkgirl. It's got a fantastic story, and some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen for the Justice League (by the Brazilian artist Ed Benes.....at least I'm pretty sure he's Brazilian).
But, as I was saying, it's really refreshing to have a comic that doesn't focus on the usual Superman (who's an effin' DICK.) or Batman (not that I don't like Batman) or whoever.


I also read some Teen Titans:
Vol. 1

Vol. 2

There are more, but I've only ever been able to find the third one once before. It's called "Beast Boys & Girls". The art is a little different for the majority of it, but it's still awesome.
This reincarnation of the Teen Titans is simply incredible. With the more-familiar Titans like Starfire, Cyborg, and Beast Boy all grown up, they take the lead and form a new team altogether. This time, it's Superboy, Wonder Girl (Cassie Sandsmark), the third Robin (Tim Drake), and Kid Flash (Bart Allen; at first he's "Impulse" but about halfway through the first volume he becomes Kid Flash). These kids, and the three senior Titans, are living with the guilt of Donna Troy (former Wonder Girl, Troia)'s death and a crazed ex-Titan hunting them down, so the focus in this one, especially the first two, is shifted a little from kids fighting crime like all the other superheroes to kids fighting the idea that they're lesser heroes. There's this big fight between Wonder Woman and Starfire about Wonder Girl's freedom to CHOOSE to be a Titan because she WANTS to, even though Wonder Woman told her to stay away.
However, the plot element of Raven bringing the end of the world (but differently this time) and the Titans' duty to stop it is still present.
Even so, it's wonderful. The only thing I don't like about it is Wonder Girl and Superboy. Superboy's a stuck-up brat and Wonder Girl won't shut the fuck up about how she "doesn't belong anywhere" and how Donna Troy's death was "her fault" (it wasn't). But if you can get over that, this is great for Titans fans.

Wow, Pi, Thailand looks awesome.

good calls if you're playing for comedy. i snickered when you were all like...
