Yeah, ok, I know it's been done before, but, um, not *here*, you know? Anyway. Last week I was transferring files and music from old CDs to my new external hard drive, and I discovered that, yea verily, before the old Scans_Daily went under, I had saved what appears to be a great majority to all of the Deadpool scans archived there. I had ( Read more... )

So cleolinda just sent me this link (with the comment that she didn't think I was going to like it - she is very astute.)

A Wolverine Synopsis That's So Demented, It Must Be TrueAnd of course I don't. Because IT'S COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. I mean, COME ON, FOX. What are you DOING to Deadpool?? Why bother to take an established and well-loved (ok, by a ( Read more... )

You guys, the recent shutdown of scans_daily has precipitated yet another flurry of misuses of the concept of fair use.

scans_daily has been banned. I know, I know, copyright protection, and I am all for copyright protection. But, I mean, really - I always used to point people there so they could read an issue or two of Deadpool and get hooked on it like me (well, perhaps not as much as me, but you know). Now how am I going to ( Read more... )

So I mentioned before that Marvel has a free Digital Comic, the Deadpool Saga (which recaps his story from his first appearance to now), up online. Sadly, their comics viewer is really not that easy to use or fun for trying to actually read the comic (all that scrolling and magnifying de-magnifying and graaaaah!). So I decided to cap and post the ( Read more... )

Oh. Em. Gee. I just discovered the "Who's Who" in DC comics series that mightygodking has been posting over in scans_daily, and it is cracktastically funny. Not only are a lot of the old "lost" comic book characters really, really lame (although there are a few good ones that could do with revival), but his commentary kills me. I highly recommend, even if you don't follow ( Read more... )
