You're Wrong!

SUPERBLOG!! will never die.

It may stumble and fall and suck and blow. It may be an occasional embarrassment. By which I mean a constant embarrassment. It may be an outdated experiment. It may be a Nothing blog, Rarely Updated, Ignored By Its Former Fans and Even Its Creators. It may continually make promises of radical changes that never happen.

But it is the Alpha and the Omega. It is the Light-Bringer. It is the Christ. It's your father and mother and brother and lover. But better than all of them, because it will be with you always, even to the End of Tim. And the End of Time.

SUPERBLOG!! was here before you were born, and it will be here long after you are all dead dead dead

If I'm lying, may the Lord punish me by striking me with a bad case of hubris.

Obama is King!

UPDATE:

I am King Shit of Fuck Mountain.

Why would you fuck with me?

When I was a kid I was a big fan of the Oz books and when I was an older kid I was an even bigger fan of the super-depressing Return to Oz and when I was the oldest kid I was the biggest fan of HBO's Oz. Later, I realized that Oz (the TV show) maybe wasn't quite as important an artistic achievement as I had previously thought, but I still had some respect for it. That's exactly why I think of better times when I look at some of John R. Neill Oz drawings. Featuring this dude:

What a dude he truly is. Have you ever seen such a dude?

Currently Reading #4: "I Love the King"

Cos he was chosen by God!

Kong of King

I'm watching "the King of Kong". It's THRILLING and IRRESISTIBLE! I played Kong once in my life. Made it like to the 10th board. I now realise that I really was a loser on Kong compared to some shitheads. Glad I didn't know that when playing KONG in da 80s..

Here's trailer.

UPDATE!! I've seen the whole movie now ! Everybody should see this one. Posting picture to underline my argument.

King of Spain is Crazy Mutant

On the right we have King Juan Carlos I of Spain. On the left is X-Men villain Magneto, the Master of Magnetism. Don't they look kinda similar?

It seems like Marvel Comics, publisher of Spider-Man and stuff, are doing some sort of crossover thingie called The House of M, and one of the books involved features X-Men villain Magneto on the cover.

And the cover artist, Mike Mayhew, didn't feel like drawing anything more than the head so he ripped off an official photo of "the King in Field Marshal uniform". Which was a pretty stupid thing to do. And now the Spaniards are going bugfuck. (The Beat has some further information.)

This isn't the first time in recent history Marvel has unwittingly upset European royalty. A couple of years ago, Peter Milligan's and Mike Allred's X-Statix was scheduled to feature the late Princess Diana as a superhero.

Except, at the last minute, a Marvel executive in Hollywood got shit from Elton John or someone and called for all Di references to be removed from the book. The result was rather unsuccessful:

Since most of the issue appears to be the product of dialogue rewrites and art fixes (aside from a couple of new origin pages at the beginning, they've just put Diana in a wig), we have a problem. The plot was not written for a pop singer. And as published, the story doesn't work.
[...]
A lot of glitches have slipped through. The silhouette on the banner over Henrietta's family home is clearly Diana, not Henrietta. There's a reference to the British taxpayers and the Financial Times, both of which are rather out of place considering that she's meant to be from another country altogether. Some of the dialogue rewrites are unbelievably awkward. [...] And quite honestly, a lot of the jokes only work if you read the character as Diana - her mutant power of empathy, for example.
