Spammers have been leaving junk about penis creams and abortion in my comment sections so I have to moderate the comments now to keep the crazies in check.
you can still leave a comment that I'll be happy to post be negative or positive as long as it's not a another damn ad for penis cream.
thanks

COMIC LANDMARKS IN NYC : FOUR FREEDOM PLAZA
During one of my nights out with the guys, I mentioned that there was a building in the city that looked a lot like the Freedom Four Plaza headquarters of the Fantastic Four during John Byrne's run on the title in the late 80's.
I wasn't sure where it was but I remember seeing it somewhere in the city and sure enough I tracked it down a few days ago, The Conde Nast building on 42nd and Broadway.
Coincidence? highly unlikely.
Architects are, for lack of a better word, nerds. Nerds read comics right?
Whatever the case may be I feel a lot safer knowing that Reed Richards is keeping a watchful eye over us.

BOT TIME! MY SOC GX-01R MAZINGER Z
Here's one of my robots that I proudly display in my living room showcase, this is the gx-01r Mazinger Z from Bandai's Soul of Chogokin line, which means it's made out of heavy ass die cast metal, perfect for launching across the living room at some burglar's head.
The Mazinger Z comes with all sorts of accouterments to keep him looking funky fresh,sharp and pointy is the name of the game kids, with his super spring loaded missile and fist chambers that are perfect for "accidentally" poking someones eye out.
In case your wondering, I'm using stock photos cause they look better than my stinking pics, besides there's nothing you can do about it so shut your pie hole and bask in the glory of MAZINGA ZET!
If you have $80 bucks burning a hole in your pocket and you have any sort of love for die cast robots then I definitely recommend that you go out and track this bad boy down!
Not only does it look great but it's aerodynamic and has a nice hefty weight to it which could come in handy during a domestic dispute or for when you get into your next heated nerd argument with that friend that thinks the Star Wars prequels are any good.

HERCULES, LION OF OLYMPUS AND PROUD GOAT F*CKER
Picked up a trade on sale at my local B&N of the Incredible Hercules (current series) for my commute and I have to admit that I'm really enjoying the overt womanizing tongue and cheek approach to Hercules that Marvels going with.
Herc get's a thumb up for putting the Fun back in funny books and another one for admitting that he enjoys making sweet love to women, beasts and inanimate objects.

HEADLINE: MATT'S DEAL WITH ANOTHER DEVIL.
Just thought I'd keep those of you who, for whatever reason, don't keep up with what's happening in the world of funny books...
( the following takes place between DD 500-501 )
I scanned some images from the latest run of Daredevil where they're doing some interesting although conflicting things with Mr. Murdock.
once again he got into a scrap with Wilson Fisk who was looking to get his hands on control of ...wait for it.....The Hand, those pesky ninjas who dress in red garb and have nothing better to do than torment our boy Matthew, the perfect gift for an evil fat bastard.

But what does our good Irish-Catholic-humanitarian-super guy do once he wrestles control of the Hand away from the Kingpin?
He pulls a Keyser Söze and Becomes the leader of the HAND!
oh Matthew, if only Sticks could see you now...

INKING WITH DOUG TENNAPEL
Since I'm taking my sweet ass time with inking my artwork, I thought I might look at someone who has a better command of the inking process.
Doug Tennapel is an indie comic artist and illustrator best known for his work on the Earthworm jim Video games ( available now on the Sega Genesis!) jokes aside he's a fun artist who knows what he's after when he's inking his work.
The one thing I'm learning as I ink on the computer is that you can't recreate those delicious little changes in line weight that happen when you ink with a brush or quill. you can try to recreate those subtle organic effects on a PC but it just doesn't come out the same.
Check out the video, it's a quick 10 minutes, if you've ever flirted with the idea of inking you own doodles, you'll like this video.
(Especially when he cleans his brushes with his mouth.)
