Darkman vs Megatron vs Hellboy

So here's a fun game to play, and you can do it a few different ways. This is my favorite grouping to use, but you can pretty much choose any combo of actors for it. My combo is Liam Neeson, Hugo Weaving, and Ron Perlman. Who of these three is the most kick ass?

Liam Neeson has been:

A Jedi

Aslan

Ras Al Ghul

Darkman

A crusader

Rob Roy

Sir Gawain

Hugo Weaving has been:

Megatron

Elrond

Agent Smith

V of V For Vendetta

A sheepdog

Ron Perlman has been:

Hellboy

Deathstroke the Terminator (Slade)

Killer Croc

Clayface

Orion of the New Gods

Vincent from Beauty & the Beast

The Abomination

The Fiery Blaze from the Tick

a vampire

Bane

Tony Stark

Conan

Lord Hood

Jax-Ur

a demon

The Sayer of the Law

The Hulk

Satan

If your going for sheer quantity and carrying the flag of geekery empowerment, then Perlman kinda wins hand down.

Megatron can pretty much step on everyone though. And even if you kill him, he comes back as Galvatron.

Aslan is pretty much Jesus, so that's kinda handy. Darkman is like a scientist and a master of disguise, so that's all sorts of awesome. So he's like super science lion Jesus with the force.

And a lazarus pit.

Of course then Perlman is Satan plus Hellboy plus Conan plus the Hulk plus Deathstroke the Terminator, so that's really hard to beat. His dad is Darkseid, the embodiment of all evil (also, Jack Palance/Richard Nixon). He might also be Smog in the new Hobbit movie, so damn man. Oh, plus he's a Kryptonian super criminal so your screwed under a yellow sun.

You can play the game by judging the awesomeness of each character in comparison to the others, or you can just for quantity. Or a combo judgement. You can go more points for obscurity, or just play it for important characters.

Other fun actors to use:

Mark Hamill

Christopher Lee

Ian McKellen

Jeffrey Combs

Tony Todd

Christopher Walken

I honestly don't think anyone beats Perlman for sheer representation of comic book characters. If you can find a person, then I really am curious.

Primate of the Moment: The Gorilla Witch

Silver Age comics, don't ever change

Batman + Dinosaurs + Sugar & Spike = Dang, I'm out another $2.50

So why should you buy Batman: Brave & The Bold #4? And don't give me any of that "But it's a kids book" crap.

You should buy this issue because:

A) Batman totally teams up with Sugar & Spike to fight Felix Faust

B) It guest stars Aquaman

C) It has a magical liopleurodon

D) Just look at the friggin' cover.

Batman with dinosaurs is a combo you really really really really can't go wrong with.

First you get yer Kirby, then you get yer Herbie

This....this was an awesome week for comics. I don't usually post stuff I'm reading, but this week......so full of awesome. BEHOLD:
Such a great job on the printing too. Looking forward to reading it.

Transformers: All Hail Megatron #10

Omega Supreme!

Dudes. Ok, you could probably tell from the cover this was going to be awesome. But it contains two other things that push it well over the edge of awesome and into the bottomless pit of ZOMFG.

1) Kanjar-Ro TOTALLY cracks out the Gamma-Gong.

2) Kanjar-Ro also unleashes an army of giant mutant alien ants (YES), and the most logical course of action to battle the ants was to transform the Super Friends into gorillas and other primates. THE MOST LOGICAL COURSE OF ACTION.

OMEGA SUPREME!

Sub-Mariner 70th Ann special has a back up story by Mark Schultz and Al Williamson!

Transformers: All Hail Megatron #10

"But surely the Decepticons would have focused on you. They must have sent an army to take you down, how did you survive!?!?"

"I AM OMEGA SUPREME."

Jellaby vol 2!

And this wasn't even everything. By the time I read Green Lantern Corp #35 and saw a giant snake alien coiled around a planet, my brain blew up. You may have heard the explosion, it was like a sonic boom going off. IN MY MIND.

.....would Optimus Prime get a blue ring? Or a green?

Gah, too much geekery

My Fevered Brain Presents: Blind Justice Has a Big-Ass Robot

I feel the intense need to watch/read something that features the blind swordsman Zatoichi teaming up with Omega Supreme now.

And that would be the first issue of my new comic: Completely Unnecessary But Compelling Team-Ups. I think they would be a sufficiently hardcore introduction to the concept.

Issue #2: Tony Jaa & Rom The Space Knight in a little story called KYAG, Suckas

Aaaaaaand I should finally go to sleep because I'm obviously delirious.

Golden Age Awesomeness

So we just picked up a massive Golden Age collection of Batman, Detective, and the World's Finest. I'll slowly post them on here just to show the awesomeness that is the Golden Age, but the store scanner doesn't work and neither does mine at home (bah!). So I'll slowly just link the covers through the ComicBookDB.

This one made me think of Chris Haley for some reason

If you crop the top off, that is the most awesome high five ever.

The sheer force of awesome it produces is actually making Robin reel backwards a little.

Also, I think this is the most times I've ever said awesome in one post.
