Sad that $150 million globally in 18 days is considered "failure." I guess they expected 300 numbers.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Comic Book Thread
« on: March 20, 2009, 01:07 PM »
I pick up single issues and box them. I actually want to go through my 80s/90s back-issues and see if any are worth selling. I'm guessing no. A friend of mine who owned a comic book shop used to buy back issues by weight, something like $.25 per pound. He'd pay out $5 or $6 for a long-box. And that was the best price any dealer paid in town.
TPBs are a good way to go. You save a little money that way. But a lot of books never end up in TBP form.
I figure I'm paying for the enjoyment, not making an investment. Once I'm done they're effectively worthless. I won't be recycling them any time soon, but I'm guessing my kids will when I'm gone.

Watto's Junk Yard / Worst drawing in the history of art...
« on: March 18, 2009, 01:16 PM »
I've been reading some ripping on Rob Liefeld today. This despite being super busy at work. You look and you just can't turn away.
It started here:

Great stuff. You'll laugh. And it ended with what must be the worst drawing I've seen from a person whose profession is art...
I challenge you to find a worse drawing!!! (the ones on http://CreatureCantina.com don't count... that's a hobby, not a profession!
)

I have no problems with the change. Branding is important. And it's gotta be rough for a network not to be able to copyright their name. It's not the best name, but it's fine.

While the costume was amazing, I don't think the Thing ever looked big enough. He was like Dwarf Thing. Next time I hope he's CG. Chiklis would be great as the voice, and Chris Evans was just about perfect as Johnny, but I don't think Mr. Fantastic of the Invisible Woman were all that well cast. Neither had the gravitas to pull it off. Not that I'll ever complain about watching Alba...

Yeah, that's really, really stupid. They ruined one of the best characters. I guess we won't be seeing a Deadpool spin-off.

I don't have any idea who that is. He was in one of the teaser trailers as well. But it's not Deadpool. Ryan Reynolds is a lot leaner.
Looks like one of the baddies from Mortal Kombat.

Yep... that's Cyclops, not Deadpool. Deadpool is later in the trailer with his swords.
Anybody have any idea who the black guy is? Only one I know from the comics is Bishop.
