Yay Monday Means New Trailer...Today At Least! 


Marvel has just dropped it's first full length Ant-Man movie trailer starring Paul Rudd as Scott Lang. The trailer looks pretty promising for the comic book movie. 

It's cool to see Paul Rudd in this kind of role as apposed to so much comedy. You get to see him shrink to ant size and have a short and sweet conversation with an Ant. The trailer includes a quick backstory, some humor, a face off, he even gets punch by a chick! Ch-ch-ch- Check it out. 


The Ant-Man film is set to be in theaters July 17th. 


What do you guys think so far?

It's simple, I love to cosplay.

Saturday there was a Cosplay contest going on at the Las Vegas Super Toy Con. Naturally, I wanted to enter but I didn't really have much time to prepare the type of costume I wanted to. I through together something quick and worked with what I had to create the beautiful, crazy, playful, hyper, quirky, insane, delightful Harley Quinn look below. My favorite lady from DC Comics may I add. 





Here's a few of the other cosplayers at the Las Vegas Super Toy Con. 















Fun times...

Just yesterday I was talking about females in the comic book world after seeing little ol' 11 year old Rowans letter to DC Comics... 

Today we have great news! Fans of girl power in Comics and SUPER fans of Star Wars and Princess Leia rejoice! For Marvel has graced us with some sneak peeks into it's 'Star Wars: Princess Leia #1' available in shops March 4th 2015. Below you'll be able to see a few preview pages and a ton of variant covers. The miniseries is written by Mark Waid (DareDevil) and artist Terry Dodson (X-Men).

Check out the gift I just got in the mail! The awesome LEGO X DC Comics: Justice League VS Bizarro League.

There has ALWAYS been so much back and forth about women in the comic book industry. Whether it's about female writers, artist, or the female characters in the comics themselves. People fight about how they're so sexually exposed and have crazy body standards for young women to look up too. There's also a way smaller percentage of female characters on TV shows and movies.

But Anyways, to not make this chat go on forever... it's not like adult women are the only ones noticing!  11 year old Rowan is the brave little soul who wrote this letter to DC Comics and honestly, I hope more little girls are growing up being taught to speak their minds just like here!



Dear DC comics,

My name is Rowan and I am 11 years old. I love superheroes and have been reading comics and watching superhero cartoons and movies since I was very young. I'm a girl, and I'm upset because there aren't very many girl superheroes or movies and comics from DC.

For my birthday, I got some of your Justice League Chibis™. I noticed in the little pamphlet that there are only 2 girl Chibis, and 10 boys. Also, the background for the girl figures was all pink and purple.

I remember watching Justice League cartoons when I was really young with my dad. There are Superman and Batman movies, but not a Wonder Woman one. You have a Flash TV show, but not a Wonder Woman one. Marvel Comics made a movie about a talking tree and raccoon awesome, but you haven't made a movie with Wonder Woman.

I would really like a Hawgirl (sic) or Catwoman or the girls of the Young Justice TV show action figures please. I love your comics, but I would love them a whole lot more if there were more girls.

I asked a lot of the people I know whether they watched movies or read books or comics where girls were the main characters, they all said yes.

Please do something about this. Girls read comics too and they care.

Sincerely, Rowan.


I was so taken by this letter and her detailed accounts about the packaging and numbers and how she went around asking her friends questions... Rowan, you rock!


Anyway, here is what DC Comics had to say via Twitter...

Man, when I was younger I didn't read much comics really. I got into Marvel through watching the X-Men cartoons on Saturday morning (some of the best days of my life.) Anyway, when I first purchased a few of my own comics I loved Michael Turner's art work and it led to me loving Witchblade (AKA Sara Pezzini) published by Top Cow Productions/Image Comics.

Witchblade Writers: Christina Z, David Wohl, Marc Silvestri, Brian Haberlin, Ron Marz
Artists: Michael Turner, Keu Cha, Marc Silvestri, Stjepan Sejic

So what exactly is the Witchblade?

Sara Pezzini is a homicide detective who happens to stumble upon the Witchblade. The Witchblade is an artifact in the form of a gauntlet. It ends up becoming part of Sara gives her variety of powers in order to fight supernatural evil. Awesome right? I wish I could find the Witchblade.

Sara was close to death while getting injured on the case and then the Witchblade found her and healed her wounds. It's a long and complicated story to explain but let's just say Sara fights off anyone who's interested in possessing the Witchblade, especially Kenneth Irons and his bodyguard Ian Nottingham.

Anyways, Witchblade is bad ass in the best way possible. It doesn't hurt that Michael Turner made her insanely appealing too. I know there's a lot of controversy about how female characters are drawn in the comic book industry "too sexy, too exposed" and so on... but I loved Michael Turners work. Perhaps it is a tad bit exposing, but it also speaks volumes of power, confidence and beauty to me. Most of the ladies he drew look fierce and like they were ready to take on anything coming their way. For me that over shadowed any body part they may have been showing off.

On another note, I never got around to watching the Witchblade television series that aired on TNT is 2000. Anyone knows if it's any good? I'll have to check it out soon. IMDB has it rated at a 6.4 which isn't too terrible.

For your viewing pleasure, here is our main women this Wednesday.
