7 More Super Dictionary Entries That Need To Be In Comics

 

 

Since you’re reading this on the Internet, I’m going to go ahead and assume that you’re aware that Chris Roberson recently stuck a reference to the famous “Forty Cakes” panel from The Super Dictionary into the pages of Superman. This is, of course, awesome, but more than that, it opens the door for even more bits and pieces from what might just be the weirdest comics publication of all time to make it into mainstream super-hero stories. So today, I’ve written up 7 more Super Dictionary Entries that should be in comics.

And yes, I am available to write El Dragon.

Wizard Magazine’s Most Dubious Moments, Volume One (1996 – 2000)

 

 

Last night, I went through a stack of Wizard Magazines that’s been sitting untouched on a bookshelf for over a decade so that I could mock mourn the passing of the magazine by highlighting ten of Wizard‘s most dubious moments.

How dubious? Well, in addition to the full-page ad for a bootleg hentai game where Sailor Moon grows a dong, consider this: The interview with Brian Pulido above did not make the cut.

Annoying Facebook Ads In a Super-Hero Universe

 

 

Today at ComicsAlliance, the business of the day is making fun of Facebook, and cousin, business is a-boomin’. I’ve put on the FictionSuit and entered the Marvel and DC Universes (and one, and only one, indie comic) to show what those annoying Facebook sidebar ads would look like if you logged in from Gotham City!

Check ’em out, and make sure to click on each one for an explanation. I hear if 80 of us sign up for a Groupon, we can get a slightly used Spider-Slayer for like 75% off.

Great Comics That Never Happened #20: New Yorker Two-In-One with Colleen Coover!

 

 

If you’re like me, then there are few things you like more in this world than getting new art from Colleen Coover. So today, rejoice, as Double-C joins me for this week’s installment of Great comics That Never Happened: New Yorker Two-In-One!

When I was coming up with this one, I thought Colleen would be absolutely perfect to draw it, but I honestly didn’t think we’d be able to get her. And yet, here we are. Dreams really do come true, Internet People. Dreams really do come true.

The Best, Worst and Weirdest of Toy Fair 2011

 

 

I’ve been trying to break the toy-buying habit since before I quit the comic shop, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not still stuff I think is awesome — and plenty of stuff I think is weird as all hell. That’s why today, I got the assignment to go through the best and worst of Toy Fair 2011!

I’ve gotta say, as much as I am this close to spending my last dime on WWE Rumblers, I’m pretty disappointed that there was no coverage of a newer, better line of My Little Pony figures that weren’t all the wrong goddamn color like the ones on the shelves now.

Yeah, I said it. Twilight Sparkle ain’t pink. She’s purple. And she don’t shiv.

The Wonder Woman Pilot Script: The Good, the Bad and the Crazy

 

 

If you’ve been paying attention to the Comics Internet — and let’s be honest, if you’re still reading the ISB, you have been — then you’re probably already aware of the alleged Wonder Woman TV pilot script by David E. Kelley that’s been floating around the web. A copy of it came across the desk at CA, and I was elected to read it, so today have a look at my reactions!

I’ve got to say, I have no idea if it’s actually real, but if there was any doubt in my mind that it was a TV script written by David E. Kelley, that was completely removed when Wonder Woman gave a two-page speech while on trial before congress, straight up Bobby Donnell style.
