thanks and ya, he cost me a pretty penny

but i know he'll be going up again after the movie comes out this summer

speaking of Red Skull...i recently purchased a TPB called Captain America vs The Red Skull...it was a lot of fun going back and reading old storylines of these two foes...some of the really early stuff is downright hilarious
if anyone was interested in getting some historical background on these two iconic figures (before the movie comes out) then i highly recommend picking this up
the book covers Captain America Comics (1941-1954 Golden Age) #1; Tales of Suspense (1959-1968) #79-81; and Captain America (1968 1st Series) #143, 226-227, 261-263 and 370; and material from ANNUAL #13 and Captain America: Red, White, and Blue (2002)

DC Comics issued some major news today for all of their DC Universe titles. Beginning on Wednesday, August 31st, 52 titles (the entire DCU lineup) will relaunch from issue one and every issue published from that point on will be available for digital purchase day and date with the printed issue.
Spearheading the relaunch is the debut of "Justice League" #1, bringing back core members to the superhero team, including Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Green Lantern. The series will be written by DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns and illustrated by DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee.
As you can see in the first image from the series below (courtesy of USA Today), some of the iconic DC characters will feature newly-designed costumes. Superman appears to no longer feature red shorts and the "S" logo has undergone an overhaul, already launching some speculation that this might be closer to the look that fans will see in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.

Just read on Vulture news that there is gonna be an influx of 2nd tier superheroe movies.
To name a few, Hawkman, Ant-man, Deadpool, Flash, Judge Dred, Jessica Jones, and the Runaways.

I am excited about the Judge Dredd movie. Stallones version was not true to the material. Oh and Karl Urban is signed to play him this time.

thanks bud

i've been reading updates on some of these...first i've heard Flash, Jones and Runaways mentioned though...there is also talk of a S.H.I.E.L.D film as well

fuck me, i've got to stay out of comic book stores for awhile...they are costing me a freaking fortune lately

dropped in to a LCS in Whitby this morning after doing some hockey tutoring and ended up adding these 2 fantastic sculpts to my collection...the owner gave me a pretty good deal on both
i'm completely tapped out now...no more until this fall

Sideshow Hulk and Colossus...
Colossus stands at 17" high and Hulk is a massive 23.5"

Green Lantern Review

First mistake they made was putting Ryan Reynolds in the role. Seriously, he might be worse then Keanu Reeves as an actor.
