Metropolis

During the break that was forced upon Metropolis by the Radio Crisis that was the University shooting our radio station through the heart and head with their Omega Sanction, (WHY!? OH GOD WHY?!?), we were forced to live subsequent lives outside of our own and the natural events of things. In one such life, one of our own had created a new force in the galaxy. That’s no small moon, that’s a new Lubbock based comic publisher!

Normally the comics section of Reddit is full of self wankery, but there was something today that caught my eye.

It’s 24 BATMAN, and yes it’s exactly what it sounds like only funny.

Various sites have put up clips from the movie now. I have stolen these riches and laid them before you. Have at, jackals. Videos after the jump.

Hey Ho!  I trust everyone had a great Valentine’s Day weekend, whether you shared it with someone special or just sat in the dark eating a tub of Blue Bunny ice cream and playing World of Warcraft by yourself.  This missus and I finally got out of the house for some alone time, for the first time in months.  We went to see an 80s hair metal cover band, Whips And Kisses, and hang out with old friends.  It was everything I expected and more.  WnK have some serious fans who aren’t afraid to show it.  The next time they play (you can also check them out sans wigs and tights as The Ducks), you should really check them out. 
 
Now – on to the comics….
 
MASQUERADE 1 – Phil Hester’s script really surprised me.  I was expecting this to be my least favorite of the adequately written Alex Ross’ PROJECT SUPERPOWERS books, but it turned out to be a fun whimsical retro book that has the spirit and feel of the 1940s and 50s, but with that modern sensibility that makes things like a giant Nazi robot powered by human souls (Soul Power!) just a fun throwback with a modern twist.  GOOD STUFF!

Someday Galactus is going to show up, and we’ll protest and come up with reasons why we shouldn’t be eaten. Then the Silver Surfer will just whip out an iPhone and play this video, and we’ll just go get the ketchup.

There’s not a lot that happens in Lubbock, TX. We mostly drink and work and find ways to amuse ourselves. There’s really even less reason to come here.

UNLESS YOU ARE HORRIBLE SPACE MONSTERS.

This is via, RevolutionSF, an online hub for everything scifi.

If you’ve ever been to the “Ain’t It Cool News” movie review section, yeah, it’s exactly like this.

Hopefully I can steer away from this kind of form review.
