  1. I just watched the pilot for a new show coming to NBC this Fall. If you haven't heard of it, here is the description from nbc.com: They thought they were like everyone else... until they woke with incredible abilities. In Japan, a lowly office worker can teleport at will. In New York, a struggling artist can paint the future. In Los Angeles, a discontented beat cop can hear the thoughts of others. Elsewhere, a high school cheerleader discovers she is unbreakable and a single mom realizes she has a powerful alter ego. Heroes chronicles the lives of these people and the lives of others like them – whose destiny just might be saving humankind. NBC.com weekly exclusives include an original, animated graphic novel that follows new hero adventures. Despite what they say, these people don't just wake up one day and start flying and teleporting. It's a little more complicated than that. The storytelling is alot like Lost, a lot of questions, and few answers. Not to mention the fact that all of the characters are somehow connected to each other in strange and plot twisting ways. The Japanese businesman is probably my favorite character. He's funny and original. He can affect time and space, which allows him to teleport. He explains time to his friend by quoting what he learned from the X-Men comics. The painter can predict the future through his art. The problem is he doesn't remember painting them, and is scared by it. The single mom pays the bills by running an online peep show in her bedroom. Her reflection has a personality of it's own. The cheerleader is indestructable, as we see when she repeatedly tries to kill herself. A regular guy has dreams of flying, and his politician brother doesn't want to hear it. A professor in India belives people are on the verge of the next jump in evolution, and he follows his father's work on the subject after he is killed. Being that it is the pilot, I can understand why it is a little slow, but I had no idea what direction the show will take, and after the end, I still don't. Is it going to be a team of superheroes fighting evil? Is it going to be more like the 4400? Even though it really doesn't answer this, the twists and turns it does take are more than enough to make it worth watching. If you are a fan of Lost, you are going to love it. If you hate Lost, it won't have enough action for you. Check it out if you can get a copy. If not, wait until this Fall.

    D&D to DVD!

    Man, I loved that show when I was a kid.
  3. Still no official word on whether Galactus himself will show up, but that's ok, we get the Fantasticar.
  4. This is the best way to see a trailer for a Kevin Smith film, uncensored.
  5. It might take me that long to understand all of it.
  6. Get Jenny a bunch of trades and have her ready for my idea by episode 100.
  7. Um, that's not something you tell the guys.
  8. I agree. I hate when they do this. If you are just changing the name, you don't have to start from 1 again.
  9. All hope is lost. I officially want to kill anyone making this movie(just kidding lawyers). edit: AICN has already had to pull this off their website.
  10. Comic book events. You can go over the big ones, and talk about how it changed things and if they still affect things today. Like if The Secret Wars had not of happened, there wouldn't be a Venom. Just an idea.
  11. GOOOOOOOOOOOO AURON!!!!!!
  12. As long as they are site related they can only be a good thing.
  13. My new blog. http://ndalert.blogspot.com/ You'll see some of the same comics and movie posts as on here, but I'll do alot of computer and gaming stuff on there too.
  14. Anybody read this book? It's co-written by Rosario Dawson. Yes, the girl in Clerks 2 is really a comic book geek. Here is a picture of her.
  15. The one from A Death in the Family will always be the joker to me.
  16. Or they slept together after the kiss. She sleeps with Superman not knowing that it's Clark, and he gets to sleep with Lois again. Like I said though, that is not like Superman to do that.
  17. I posted one in the Ghostbusters thread, but I found a bunch more. The original Star Wars trilogy Go here for some Aliens and Indiana Jones gifs
  18. I'm still trying to figure out the mechanics of it. He knocked her up when he had no powers right? She doesn't remember that. That means she must have slept with him as Superman too, which isn't like him. This assumes that the second movie is in the continuity.
  19. I think they can do 1 or 2 more movies before they have to deal with that.
  20. In your case, you should have laughed in their faces. An antiques store that sells comics should know exactly what it's worth. Detective Comics #268 F- $150 Nice return on that 10 bucks. It's actually Batman #110 which last had a listing price in the mid 200s if I'm not mistaken. This website had the wrong title.
  21. I wish I had come across this before the Ghostbusters episode but oh well. Behold, the whole movie in Gif form. And just to keep this on topic: If they make that Ghostbusters in Hell movie I will kill somebody.
