IGN update; Dark Knight Rises trailer; NFL SuperPro and more!
- A few days ago I mentioned that FUBAR: Empire of the Rising Dead had been nominated by IGN.com for their "anthology of the year" award. After tallying the votes, it seems that Rocketeer Adventures from IDW got the nod, and I can't say that it wasn't undeserving, as it was jam packed with top-tier talent.
It looks like FUBAR can grab a "People's Choice Award", however, with some feverish online voting, and as soon as I figure out how to, uh, do that, I will post a link here, and then demand that everyone vote for it.
- The Dark Knight Rises full trailer came out a few days ago, and BOY! does it look good. I even made it on screen during the Heinz Field scenes, though you'd need a screen as big as a house and a magnifying glass to see me (i.e. I'm a blurry part of the faceless thousands).
One person who does get some good screen time, however, is current Pittsburgh Steeler and future Hall of Famer Hines Ward! When the filming was taking place, I wondered to myself how much footage of (Super Bowl XL MVP) Ward would make the final cut. It seems that the answer is "a lot". Heck of a guy, that Hines Ward.
- Speaking of the NFL, friend of the blog Travis Sengaus drew this pinup of NFL SuperPro, making the character look much cooler than he really deserves. SuperPro's 20th anniversary was this year, and the NFL Network even ran a short special about the character.
Travis drew a few pages for Image's Haunt #18 - check it out if you get the chance!
- Next we have a cover homage to the classic Fantastic Four #51...made out of yarn. I have no idea in what context this should be taken.
- Lastly, a friend of mine, Eric Ross, recently started a blog all about mustaches. As if that weren't enough reason to view it, Eric has posted a few things that might be familiar - Franks and Beans episode 7 (titled, wait for it, "Mustache") and the above Strange Tales clip by Jacob Chabot. Check out "THE GOOD THE BAD AND THE UPKEEP" here: http://justamoustache.tumblr.com/
- Oh, and happy 400th blog post for me. Great.
