Comic-Day 2: Revenge of the Fallen

Friday at Comic-Con!



10:37am @pantsarama: There's a dude dressed as Skeletor at Comic-Con, but he's fat. It's one instance when "big-boned" could be accurate

I saw the real Stan Lee, but this dude's costume was pretty good. He's talking to the Silk Spectre. That character (both versions) was probably the most popular outfit at the show.

11:00am @pantsarama: Stan Lee just walked by and most Comic-Con kids didn't notice. It could be because he wasn't wearing his trademark Members Only jacket

Joseph Fiennes and John Cho at ABC's FlashForward panel. It's something about people blacking out, seeing flashes of their future and then ending up at White Castle.

1:01pm @pantsarama: Dominic Monaghan made a surprise appearance at ABC's Flash Forward panel. Penny from Lost is also on that show. I hope Nikki & Paulo aren't

Transformers in costume. Bumblebee is totally hot for that Coke fridge in the background.

Characters at the Bandai booth promoting Katamari Forever.

1:16pm @pantsarama: Fun fact: If you yell "Hey, nerd!" at Comic-Con, 10,000 people will flinch and crouch into the anti-wedgie defensive position.


1:49pm @pantsarama: Too soon? Click the link in a month then.


6:05pm @pantsarama: I met one of my fave artists @taramcpherson who signed&drew in her @darkhorsecomics book for me @comiconlive.I'm outta @ symbols for the day

Pan's Labyrinth maquette.

6:10pm @pantsarama: Ran into friends outside Comic-Con. They ignored me at 1st cuz they thought I was 1 of those annoying flyer people. Nope, I'm just annoying

Madame Tussaud's wax Wolverine statue made its debut at Comic-Con. Wax claws!

Happy Valentine's Day

So it's Valentine's Day, and if you're anything like me, then you're sitting at home alone watching The Notebook with tears in your eyes, pain in your heart and whiskey on your breath. Or maybe not. In any case, to cheer my single self up, I've created some special Valentines to share with the people I love the most -- those entertainment-starved saps who read our blog. Happy VD!

(Be sure to check out my Valentine posts from last year, too.)

R.I.P. X-Men Comic Artist Guy

It's past a week overdue, but here's a memorial to Dave Cockrum, the comic book artist who's probably best known for his work on the X-Men comics. Cockrum apparently died in his Superman pajamas, which seems pretty appropriate... Sorta like if Britney Spears were to die without panties.

Dave Cockrum
Comic Book Artist
November 12, 1943 - November 26, 2006

An Iron Fist comic book cover by Dave Cockrum featuring Storm, Nightcrawler and Colossus, who were among some of the X-Men he co-created

X-Men 3 Tribute: Part Four

X-Men: The Last Stand opens in theaters today, so it's time for our fourth and final installment of our toy tributes to the movie's poster campaign. You can find our previous pics here, here and here. To wrap things up, we're featuring Storm, played by Halle Berry, who actually had her own "Hands in the Air" moment promoting X3 on a British radio show.




























As a special bonus, here's a scene with Wolverine that ended up on the cutting room floor...

X-Men 3 Tribute: Part Three

X-Men: The Last Stand is just weeks away from opening in theaters, so it's time for the third installment of our toy tributes to the movie's poster campaign. You can find the first two installments here and here. This time around, we're paying tribute to Jean Grey/Phoenix and her horrible new red costume.



















As as a special bonus, we're also featuring a Professor X tribute. It's not based on an actual movie poster or anything, but we figured he deserved to look all introspective and fashionable, too.

Stupid @$#*!! wheelchair needs seat belts!
