Is This Theoretical Silver Surfer Video Game A Conspiracy To Injure Nerds?

Kotaku passes along comments from the developers of the new Tony Hawk skateboard game*, which will come with a skateboard shaped motion control. In it, he mentions two possible Marvel games the board could be compatible with. Only one makes a lick of sense to me. I’ll let you guess which by reading the quote**:

A Fortnight’s Worth Of Reviews
- by Brad Curran
- Wednesday, July 1st, 2009 at 10:12 PM EST
Two weeks worth of comics that are better than what Megan Fox reads. I think I’ll go to San Diego and shove them in her face whilst laughing at her inferior taste, making her cry in a pile of money and rich guys as a result.
Oh yeah, I should probably tease the reviews. I’m sticking [...]

tying Michael Jackson, Jeph Loeb, and homosexuality in comics together, but I just couldn’t find a way to string it all together. So I’m just going to write about one of those hot button topics. Find out which one after the jump!

Okay, I’m a little late on this. To be fair, I can’t be expected to watch Jimmy Kimmel no matter who’s on there, can I?
Some Thoughts On Walt Simonson’s Thor Run
- by Brad Curran
- Monday, June 29th, 2009 at 9:43 PM EST
I was going to try and do in depth reviews of every issue of Simoson’s legendary run on Marvel’s Thunder God. Then I realized that really, who was I kidding? I do have some thoughts related to the first year’s worth of the run, though (337-350, to be exact. It’s a baker’s year!). That [...]

In which Bill pitches his new X-Book
Bill: Or maybe I’d launch a new series called Brand X that stars only the really freaky mutants.
Like a rebeaked Beak!
And some poor schmuck who’s made entirely of arms and eyes.
Ian A: ha ha ha
Bill: Frank Quitely will draw the covers, and only the covers, and the entire book [...]
Download glamourpuss #1-3 (almost) for free!

I’ve been a big fan of Dave Sim’s glamourpuss, mostly because of his discussion of Alex Raymond’s photorealism art style — how it came about, how it evolved, how it fit into the historical context — and not so much for the fashion magazine parody. Well, for those who always wanted to check out Sim’s [...]
Neat Interview About the Cover of Was Superman a Spy?

Faceout Books did an interesting feature on artist Mickey Duzyj’s cover for my book. They have a quote from me in there, too. Check it out here.
Sometimes, the English Language Is Simply Inadequate
- by Brad Curran
- Monday, June 22nd, 2009 at 11:18 AM EST
Although, really, I’m not sure if there is a language that could adequately describe how awesome this is. Maybe whatever it is that Dusty Rhodes speaks could come close, if he threw in some Esperanto and Klingon. That could possibly express the magnitude of what’s going on there, maybe.

A Whole Mess Of Single Issue Comic Reviews You Don’t Need

At least I’m honest. Also, they’re in handy thematic sections. Kids love that, don’t they?

Very Clever Cover to Start Bagley’s JLA Run With…

- Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 3:46 PM EST
Very clever approach by Mark Bagley to mark the beginning of his run on Justice League of America with James Robinson (click on the image to enlarge)…
Robinson’s an excellent comic book writer – I hope his upcoming Justice League of America run shows that.
I’d Go To This If I Wasn’t A Shut In: Grant Morrison Signing At Meltdown
- by Brad Curran
- Friday, June 19th, 2009 at 1:50 PM EST
They want good questions for the Q&A, though, so maybe I wouldn’t. It’s on July 1st, same days as Batman and Robin #2 comes out. Clive Barker will chant with Grant before the signing, which will only be of the FC hardcover and Batman and Robin #1 and 2. While you can’t rub Morrison’s face [...]
