Lone Star Showdown in Photos

So last week I attended, thanks to the generosity of my good friends, the LAST EVER Texas vs. Texas A&M football game (until UT's Athletic Director Deloss Dodds retires or dies). The final result was, of course, Texas A&M losing 25-27 on a last second field goal.

We could go on and on about why A&M lost the game but that's a rant for another day, so enjoy the crappy pictures I guess.

Let's Get Comical! - Spider Island Edition

Welcome to this very semi-special edition of Let’s Get Comical! Today I’ll be reviewing issues 666-673 of The Amazing Spider-Man. These issues cover all six parts of the “Spider Island” storyline as well as the prologue and epilogue.

This storyline was just beginning as I started getting into comics and the DC New 52, and I’ve always enjoyed Spider-Man going back to the 90’s Animated Series. So it was only natural that I eventually started reading Spidey’s main comic.

This has been a column literally MONTHS in the making. Does this year’s biggest Spider-Man storyline bring it? Was this column worth the nearly three month wait? FIND OUT BY READING BELOW!

Let's Get Comical!

Another week, another week-delayed review of my comic book pulls! Just know that I TRY to get these things put up the week the comics come out but I always get stuck working or drinking and thus they’re always delayed.

But woe is me and life goes on and all that junk so let’s just get to the reviews!

Welcome to the #FridayFilmFiesta #FFF #otherFFF the best movie news column that is now TRENDING WORLDWIDE on Twitter!

You know, hashtags are like a glass of wine. One is classy, you can get away with two, but anything after that is just sloppy.

Last week I was GOING to ask you if you would ever consider having sex with a woman that looked like Adam Sandler, but apparently even LiveJournal’s Russian Overlords thought that was a crappy poll.

SO WE'RE GONNA DO IT AGAIN THIS WEEK.

Let's Get Comical!

No witty intro this week, sorry. I’m starting to post these way later than I’d like to, so yeah.

Last week was a small week for my comic list. Only two new DC comics, a review of an older one, and two new Marvel ones. Let’s get to it!

Pedophile State

Read about it on Wikipedia. Yes, Wikipedia

What I don't get: the graduate assistant sees an old dude anally violating a CHILD in a shower, DOESN'T call the cops, DOESN'T get a blunt object and beat old dude over the head multiple times, and instead chooses to call his dad?

Buh?

Let's Get Comical!

EDITOR'S NOTE: This was to go up last Friday or Saturday but didn't. Thanks, real life!


Big week for comics here in Scoopland. Diddlyland? Land of the TAB? Damn, having two online aliases stinks when trying to come up with terrible nicknames for your blog.

Anyway, it’s a bigger than usual week for comics, as I picked up some of my usual reads, PLUS A LITTLE BIT MORE! I guess they save the good stuff for the end of the month. Eleven issues in all, though one of them, Amazing Spider-Man, will be reviewed at a later date. As I said previously, I want to dedicate a single column to the Spider-Island storyline.

Obligatory “Beware of Spoilers” tag although if you’re one of my regular readers (lol) then you should know by now. I might get rid of this tag next week anyway.
