Sorry for taking a couple days off. Between Cinco De Mayo and the results of the Indiana primary, my feet have not touched the ground since my last post.
Now this.
Promethea is my favorite comic book of all time. If you ever want to do me a favor, track down #12 and check it out. It [...]
I love that book. It’s one of those New Age mumbo-jumbo gumbo things. It takes the exact number of bricks in the hallways of the Great Pyramid in Egypt, divides them by some funky myths of the Illuminati, adds it all up with a dash of environmentalism, and proves that the world will end on Cinco De [...]
The movie was excellent. Gripping, outstanding acting by Robert Downey Jr. Fun little supporting roles by Terence Howard and Gwyneth Paltrow. Jeff Bridges’ best performance since The Dude. Marvel hit a home run with their first completely in-house movie, and they even slipped in a sex scene!
I loved the effects, and I dug the quirky little origin [...]
That is another fabulous example of the hand-painted sketch cards that are inserted into the new Marvel Masterpieces packs. Those are by Chris Ortega. Six random examples that hold some fairly profound connections to our upcoming Marvel Universe expansion set. And, most importantly, they call to me as a beacon in the night.
Storm tells me [...]
That’s Angelina Jolie, as a member of the Fraternity of Assassins, in this summer’s Wanted. It opens on June 27th, smack dab in the middle of the greatest single season in cinema history. Since our beloved Squirrel Girl is now an assassin herself (see below), I plan on calling that sizzling Tattooed Woman [...]
You can click on that for a closer look. It’s true, Squirrel Girl can beat ANYONE in the comic books. I have received a couple incredulous emails, so now I present the proof. She took down Thanos Himself!
Where were you in 1992?
Did you know that Deadpool wears the Squirrel Girl underoo?
Can you imagine a more exciting day for Stu?

Yes, my dear Vs. System friends, that card is real. I am not imagining things. After four long years and 16 full expansion sets, she is finally here. Something squirrelly this way comes.
Her first [...]
That is a photograph of me getting my draft on, at the first Pro Circuit, choosing my Inmates. Someone’s life was about to change. Life? What is life?
(I love the smell of metaphor in the morning.)
1. Life is a fabulous art exhibition, and each of us creates a masterpiece for the big gallery in [...]
Today is the day. Juno is released into the world on DVD. This movie will raise the intelligence of our species just a little bit, and cause some seriously uplifting laughter along the way. I can’t wait to cry my eyes out again tonight, for the joy of being human.
Thank you Diablo Cody, thank you [...]
(fIREHOSE, carrying on.)
Today has been busy, cooking up the shirt orders and such. So I would like to quickly take this opportunity to turn you on to the punk rock that changed my life. For your listening pleasure.
1. Minutemen. There is a video history now, and there will never be another creative combination of pure talent [...]
