By the time I write this article, it may already be out of date. But I’m not a reporter. I’m a re-reporter, gossip monger, and opinionator. About comic books. And this here column is what I think about the planned Marvel not-reboot/not-relaunch/wave of new #1s coming in October through February. Marvel never follows DC. Except when they do. Both Avengers and X-Men will shake up significantly after the Avengers vs X-Men event...But calling it a reboot isn’t really accuate. It’s more like a bunch of #1 issues in current continuity. They’re moving [...]
What's more rad : that Jesse Draper created this Super Signage at Trader Joes or that Trader Joes still employs artists for signs and hand lettering?! Jesse 's art wins, of course. But Trader Joes does get some major props. Ben Smash! Not only does Jesse fight art crimes as a sign-painter extraordinaire, he's also a killer Photographer and Portraitist by day. And night. Not sure when he sleeps, but [...]

In anticipation of this release, Marvel is also launching an all-new App in July - “The Avengers Initiative: A Marvel Second Screen App” (available for the first time on iPhone) – that gives fans unprecedented access to exclusive content building up to the home entertainment release. The announcement comes as “Marvel’s The Avengers” crossed the incredible $600 million [...]
Brave is the ruler of the movie zone. It is also Pixar's 13th No. 1 movie (in a row). Also knows as, AMAZING. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter movie is beyond ridiculous and ridiculous. Top Ten Below... 1. Brave $66,739,000 // DEBUT 2. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted $20,200,000 // $157,574,000 [...]
The Top Ten estimates are in and there seems to be a major drop in movie watching this week. Rock of Ages did not help the cause either. Oh well, what can you do. I still want to see that and Prometheus & MIB 3 . I know, I am late to the game! 1. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted $35,500,000 // $120,451,000 2. Prometheus $20,200,000 // $88,858,000 3.

Sonnymoon - Sonnymoon Plug Research: 2012 Potholes readers, recently you have come across many high scores in our review section. This isn’t due to us being on our fanboy shit with new/on-the-verge artists or some kind digital age pay for mics press with smaller labels. It’s simply due to the fact that contemporary non-mainstream music across genres has really been on its Avengers swag...(maybe Take Shelter is the better comparison). Just know that Sonnymoon’s self-titled full length is the Black Widow to [...]

ARTIST: Avengers - [Album] 2-CD reissue DATE: 06-09-12 REVIEW BY: Bill Adams Those patently foolish idealists under the mistaken impression that great music always gets noticed by the record-buying public need to go out and find a copy of The Pink Album by the Avengers. Since its original release in 1983 (four years after the band broke up), The Pink Album has appeared on store [view more]

Michael Hurley played the Great American Music Hall on Friday night opening for Cass McCombs. Hurley aka Snock is truly one of a kind. His First Songs came out in 1965 on Folkways, and he joined the Holy Modal Rounders for the ultimate party record Have Moicy! in 1976. Snock captivated the crowd with tales of Jocko jacking off too much and then brought out the achingly beautiful "O My Stars" from 19802s Snockgrass . A lot of these long lost records have been re-released (a few on Portland's primo [...]

When The Avengers aren't out saving the world or crushing it at the box office, what exactly do Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America and Agent Coulson do on their off days? As imagined by Matt Kaufenberg, of An Illustration-a-Day blog, here's the whimsical Thor's Day Off and Agent Coulson's Day Off . He's even done one for the Hulk and promises the rest of the team soon enough. I can't be the only person who thinks these illustrations are reminiscent of Roger Hargreaves' Mister Men and Little Miss series, can I? (Also, if Agent Coulson became the new [...]
