I can’t wait to see what Leslie cooks up for Ron’s birthday…
“Sorry to bother you, but DC just announced Before Watchmen and we need to get something out there like quick. Can you make us an ad and a logo for this new Spider-Men series in like … 20 minutes. Mmmmthanks.”
Speaking of that: hey, everybody, can you each get me a pitch for a new Spider-Men series in like…20 minutes?
“Nevermind, I have all these old issues of Slingers that no on ever read. Let’s get someone in here to slap a new coat of dialog on them and we’re good to go.”
“But Hornet was killed! By Wolverine!”
“You’re fired.”

Kirby concept art for the original O.M.A.C. How awesome is this? And yes, I am one of the mourners of the new series, because it was probably the most fun series of the New 52.
You guys, I love O.M.A.C. so much I wish he was my O.M.A.C.B.F.F.
CRITERION CORNER GIVEAWAY!!!
GODZILLA EDITION
hey there. it’s been a while since i’ve randomly given stuff away, and that doesn’t jive well with my philosophy that love and / or readership should be shamelessly bought. so in honor of the 2012 and the impending doom of our civilization, i thought i’d offer a chance to bring home everyone’s favorite world-destroyer, GODZILLA! MMMRAAAHHHWWWFFFF!! (that’s how Mothra told me to spell Godzilla’s cry, but you can’t ever really trust that guy).
THE PRIZE: 1 Criterion DVD or Blu-ray (your choice) of Ishiro Honda’s GODZILLA.
TO ENTER: just “like” and / or Re-blog this post. each note will count as a separate entry, so every fellow blogger can therefore submit a maximum total of 2 entries.
giveaway will be closed at 12 P.M. EST on Friday, 2/3/2012. 1 winner will be randomly selected from the notes. so the odds should be okay if not super awesome, but someone’s gonna get something sweet for nothing.
good luck, and thanks for reading!

So yeah. Captain Marvel’s name is officially being changed to Shazam- even though there is already a character in the Captain Marvel universe named Shazam. Part of it is the decades long copyright infringement with Marvel comic’s Captain Marvel and part of it is the idea that since the comics are usually titled “Shazam”, “Power of Shazam” and so forth the general public thinks that’s what his name already is. If his name matches the name on the covers then it will help with Branding. That’s a load crap because comics aren’t an expanding market full of potential new customers. It’s got it’s small fanbase that’s keeping it alive in an industry that’s constantly in danger. You’re not going to win any points for pissing off the few people who are fans in order to dumb it down for the people who don’t care.
