• If you’re anything like me, you’ve been wondering to yourself “When, oh when, will someone draw Batman, Savage Dragon, Wolverine, Hellboy, and Mega Man in the same piece of art?”

  That’s why I’m happy to show you this.

• I got used for a pullquote for Jeff Lemire’s new book, which I will not stop selling you people. It’s in the current Previews – order it!
• This dude really loves Michael Bay. A lot.
• Creepy, Fetishistic Marvel Solicitation Of The Year, And It’s Only January:
  

  ULTRON IS BACK and, yes, now he’s a she. What?? Ultron’s a girl?? It’s Ultron as only Frank Cho can bring it. And the Mighty Avengers haven’t had a moment to get to know each other before they are thrown into one of the most epic adventures in the history of the Avengers.

  If you were really wondering what a booty-tastic version of Ultron would look like, please make sure you send me your IP address so I can block you from ever, ever viewing my website again.

• The Life of an EB Games Clerk is never easy. You have to click on the thing to read the strip for some reason.
• BOOM! writer Michael Alan Nelson gets to talk up Fall of Cthulhu with Wizard. He’s one smart cookie.
• Four pages of a current Fantastic Four book that didn’t make me want to cry out in pain? Check them out here. The solicit copy says JMS is writing, the credits on the first page say McDuffie, so I think I see why I enjoyed the bit of banter. (I do hope page 5 features, say, a jumpgate to the Negative Zone or something, though…)
• One of my oldest internet friends, Lucy, has been blogging for a little while over at Yellowpop, but I’m just now getting around to linking to her. She’s funny, snobby, and covers Asian pop culture, cooking, and making her husband grow a handlebar mustache with equal aplomb.
• Respect to Waid and Perez for their continuity skills. See below.
