? : Joseph Gordon-Levitt

MaD was JUST discussing how Gordon-Levitt would be fantastic as Robin in a Teen Titans movie. Who’da thunk that hollywood might be gearing up for him to play villian, Riddler, in Batman 3?!?

We say to this, “Sounds like a plan.”

Actors who are able to play all character types, be it villain or hero, are always the ones to look out for.  We say hire him! And we are not opposed to a little spandex action.

Puck Post #4: BLAMMOIDS!!!

Mutant A Day loves toys, and as the production of new mighty muggs have slowed a bit we are looking for the cuteness to satisfy our hero worship!

In early 2010 DC is set to introduce BLAMMOIDS to retailers near you. And we are uber excited about collecting! These hexagonal heroes and villains send our hearts a flutter!

My dear people, I have discovered the most perfect idea to come out of the comics industry in ages.

THE BACKLOG COLLECTION!

I am not omniscient. THERE, I’ve said it! I admit my faults and I have faith that we can all grow from here.

But seriously, I don’t eat, sleep & breathe comics. I love the art-form but I’ve never even read many characters and books.

So things like Marvel’s comic collection offering is sold under the name Essentials and has introduced me to the corniness of old-school Incredible Hulk (written by Stan Lee, of course). Which is fantastic!

I haven’t personally checked out DC’s offering which they call Archive Editions yet but I look forward to that as well.

I mean, it’s about the perfect way to catch up on stories you might have missed, right?

Always wondered how the new X-Men started? Go check out Volume One of the X-Men Essentials! Want to see just how cheesy the Metal Men were back in their heyday? GO CHECK IT! There’s no color in the Essentials collections but the line-art and text is exactly the same and the price is lower than the Archive Editions which update and preserve the original coloring and full effect of the artwork.

A classic DC/Marvel conundrum, I tells ya.

Just be sure to give these lovely gems a once-over the next time you’re in your local shop, you never know what arcs you’ll be able to re-read or enjoy for the very first time…like a virgin.

Iceman & Jimmy…Happy Birthday!


So yesterday, thanks to the comic world’s cutest twins, Aaron & Shawn Ashmore, was the merging of the DC and Marvel Universe
INTO ONE BLOG!!! Why, you ask? It’s because yesterday was their birthday! (they are 21 29)

Aaron, Smallville’s Jimmy Olsen & Shawn, X-Men’s Bobby Drake (a.k.a. Iceman) are two Canadians that add so much to the live-action versions of their print counterparts.  I’d say (and I think many would agree) that in a world where Bryan Singer casts Halle Berry as Storm, someone else would take the lead (um, whoever that may have been) and cast Shawn as Iceman, which is more than a perfect fit!

So this Happy Belated Birthday goes out to Shawn & Aaron. Enjoy the pics!
