The readers of Deadspin layout as to why Citizens Bank Park sucks. I tend to agree with some, like the College Night fiascos … others are just bitter Mets fans. [Deadspin]
Max Brooks’ The Zombie Survival Guide: The Recorded Attacks graphic novel is out and looks fantastic. I can’t wait to grab it. [Comic Impact]
C’mon you know you’d totally motorboat Meghan McCain. [Egotastic]
If you’re in New York City on Oct. 28th and you’re into the X-Men, check out MarvelFest 2009, where they will be debuting the Astonishing X-Men Motion Comic. [Major Spoilers]
Sam Raimi finally conceded that Spider-Man 3 did in fact blow chunks. He will try and make up for that in Spider-Man 4. [I Watch Stuff]
I’m a fan of Marissa Miller. But c’mon who isn’t? [WWTDD]
Little Falcon Heene is an asshole. Enough with the Balloon Boy news coverage. [Gizmodo]
I couldn’t get into Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, but the folks at Geekadelphia are singing the praises of Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters, the second in the Alt-Austenverse. [Geekadelphia]
I’ll most certainly be in attendance among the teeming masses at Wizard World Philly when it rolls into town at the end of the month. Last year was my first visit to the Con, which I believe is in its 7th year. WWP has suffered from what many refer to as “red-headed stepchild syndrome”. It seems that the big name talent, guests, and exclusives seem to skip over Philly and wind up in Chicago or San Diego.
I’ll admit, the guest list was looking a little shady up until 2-3 weeks ago when there weren’t many notables on the roster. I was super psyched when it was announced that Katee Sackhoff (Starbuck) from BSG would be appearing. Well Frak me. I got notified of an update early this morning to find out that none other than Max Brooks author of two of my favorite books, “The Zombie Survival Guide” & “World War Z” will be sitting in on a panel and signing as well. That’s nine kinds of awesome. And of course there is a veritable gaggle of “Wrestling Superstars” … including that guy Virgil that hounds people to pay for his autograph every time.
Getting back to the comic side of things (that’s what it’s all about afterall) we’ve got some quality guys showing up: Greg Pak (World War Hulk & Incredible Hercules), Garth Ennis (Punisher), Andy Kubert (Batman), Alex Maleev (Daredevil), Michael Turner (Variant Cover Extraordinare), JG Jones (DC Phenom), Arthur Suydam (Marvel Zombies).
Wizard World Philly kicks off at 12pm on Friday, May 30th and runs through Sunday, June 1st at the Pennsylvania Convention Center
