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.)

GREEN LANTER MOVIE DESIGNS

Some interesting Green Lantern movie production designs.

Here's a true to form Kilowog

And Lanterns Sinestro and Tomar Re

The movie is due out June 11, 2011 and stars Ryan Reynolds.

As a huge fan of the source material I'm hoping this doesn't turn out to be a disaster, but even thought the production material looks exceptional, I would get my hopes to high.

TERMINATOR SALVATION DVD REVIEW

Just finished watching Terminator Salvation, the last Terminator flick with Bruce Wayne as John Connor and Jake Sully as Marcus the man with a mysterious past..00000000..aaaaaa.

I was expecting a big hot steaming pile of doo doo since it was directed by McG of Charlies Angel and Charlies Angel Full Throttle fame. But to my surprise it was actually pretty good if you can get past Bale's intense over acting. His face is always strained like he's trying to burn things with his vision.

The Aussie from Avatar ( Jake Sully ) who's name I can't be bothered to commit to memory, as Marcus was the more interesting of the Two main characters.

Lots of cool robots, explosions and more robots! Add it to your netflix queue, it's a fun flick for any Robot or Terminator Fan.

Here the pecking order for TERMINATOR films:

1. T2
2. T1
3. T-Salvation
4. The Sarah Connor Chronicles
5. T3
