Fantastic Four Porn Comic???

Okay, so remember last week when I linked to the outrage surrounding that Pirates of the Caribbean porno comic? Well for professional research, obviously, I checked out the site and found that Sinful Comics also put out a Fantastic Four porno comic. It’s a sometimes invisible Jessica Alba in a dirty romp with other characters, including Mr. Fantastic himself. (and no, the preview doesn’t show if that stretches too). Last I read re: Pirates was that Disney was planning to file suit. Does Marvel know about this version and are they also considering litigation? Curious.

Whatever Happened to that Captain America book by the Rambo guy?

Now that good ‘ol Captain America bit the dust, what does that do to the Cap book that Rambo creator David Morrell was going to write. You know, that one that was announced back in October 2005?

VIDEO: NYCC #7 - Neal Adams Interview!

The latest video podcast from the NYCC is up! This episode we talked to the legendary artist, Neal Adams. Neal was one of my favorite people to interview at the show. He’s never short on words, and this time he was not only funny, but also dished on his new Batman series with Frank Miller. (we had video of art from the book….but I guess they chose not to include that exclusive…)

VIDEO: NYCC #6 - Olivier Coipel

The latest video from the New York Comic-Con is up. This one features the fantastic artist Olivier Coipel. Yeah, I know, the con was weeks ago which is really months ago in blogger-time, but videos are timeless people. Besides, how often do you get to hear cool French accents?

Outrage over Pirates of the Caribbean porno comic

What’s the best way to capitalize on the hugely successful Pirates of the Caribbean franchise? You guessed: Make it into a hardcore porn comic. The book, published by Sinful Comics (whose site is NSFW), is causing a bit of expected uproar. Shocker! Apparently Disney doesn’t like seeing unathorized images of Keira Knightley, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom being depicted in hardcore porno situations. There are rumors of lawsuits, all the usual stuff.

I guess it could be worse. Imagine if they made it into a hentai book and included octopus man Davy Jones and tentacle porn. Oh wait, it does.

Cap Craziness at the LCS

I just came back from Midtown Comics (Grand Central) and I was talking with the uber-helpful Serge, and he told me yesterday was the busiest day he’d ever seen, with no exaggeration. If you’re trying to grab an issue to bag and board, check back next week for possible new shipments.
