ToyFare recently did an amazingly rad feature on the 20 craziest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toys, the good guys and the bad, which you MUST check out…
I couldn’t resist plugging the story here because I have a mad-crazy nostalgia-inspired hard-on for all these wacky old toys—way too many of which, I spent my hard-earned allowance on! Anyway, check it out!
Hey folks!
I’ve posted it almost everywhere, but have failed to do so here…so…

This series of one-shots exploring the history of the Iron Fist of K’un L’un makes a masterful read for those new to the character as well as Marvel historians. With the new Iron Fist series, readers learned that 66 men and women have held the heroic title; these issues highlight their stories, specifically that of the entirely badass Orson Randall. It’s great historical fiction meets slam-bang kung fu action with a sprinkling of film noir for a series of tales that run together into the best old school movie marathon you could hope for in comics! Writers Matt Fraction, Ed Brubaker and Duane Swierczynski all contribute to the book’s tales with a bevy of artistic talent including David Aja, Travel Foreman, Khari Evans, Mitch Breitweiser and Nick Dragotta.

Culminating in the first big event since Spidey went single, “New Ways To Die” brought six months of thrice-monthly Spider-Man stories to one helluva climax! With more villains than you can count on one hand, this action-packed, six-issue arc tied every separate plot thread together for a read that fully solidified the Brain Trust’s complete handle and understanding of their new web-slinging world. Dan Slott writes the Wallcrawler through what could easily be called the scribe’s magnum opus, complemented by fan-favorite Spidey artist John Romita Jr., whose kinetic style adds even more action to this non-stop thrill ride that raises as many questions as it answers. Not even doubters of Amazing’s new direction can deny “New Ways To Die’s” awesomeness.

Hey Folks!
If you haven’t seen “Coraline” yet, go see it! It’s great!
“But why is it so great?” you undoubtedly ask. Well, for many reasons, here’s “one”…
The flick is a clay figure stop-motion, 3-D movie based on a novel by Neil Gaiman. It features some choice voice talent, as well! Among the vocal cast is rad dude John Hodgman (who I’ve expressed my complete fan-dom of before) as the voice of Coraline’s father and other father, a character who later becomes (voice-wise) They Might Be Giant’s (my fav band!) John Linnell when an original TMBG song is featured in the flick. TMBG has the song and clip on their myspace, but I’ve brought it here to show you 32 seconds of proof as to why you must see this movie.
