Looks like my comics budget is getting a little bigger for a while...

First off, theres the upcoming 200th issue of X-Men, which is going to feature Mr Sinister (one of my favourite villains full stop, never mind just in comics, if only for the fact that he's teaching whole generations of comic book readers what being Machiavellian is all about), ( Read more... )

Nick's latest comic book discovery is Fables, and of course I've been drawn into it all as well. The story is that all the 'fables' - storybook characters, myths, legends and all that - have been driven our of their homelands by someone known only as The Adversary, and forced to live in a small area of New York known to them as Fabletown, hiding ( Read more... )

So, Uwe Boll (remember him?) has apparently gotten so sick of people telling him his movies are crap that he's put out a challenge:
