Comicpalooza Houston 2011: An Outsider’s Perspective

Written by guest writer, G. Posted by Jenn, Media Editor

Caveat 1:  I do not read comics– not even in the Sunday paper, which I do not read at all because I am not a subscriber and I don’t enjoy the trip to the corner store.  I bought and read comics in my youth.  Bought and read and boarded and mylared and boxed.  Retirement.  TMNT and Miller and Watchmen 1-12.  The End.

Caveat 2:  I have never been to San Diego.  The closest I ever got to anything like Comicpalooza Houston 2011 was Comic Dealer Boothfest 1983 at the St. Clair County Fairgrounds in Belleville, Illinois (disclaimer:  that was probably not the real name).   I think that’s where I bought my copy of “Spectacular Spider-Man” #17, rationalizing with my pre-adolescent reasoning skills that I had just scored an incredible deal.  Maybe one of you can set me straight.

TV News: First look at The Walking Dead: Season Two!


AMC just released two new pictures from the upcoming second season of The Walking Dead.


From AMC release:


AMC released today two ‘first look’ photos from Season 2 of its critically acclaimed original series, The Walking Dead, currently in production in the greater Atlanta area. The hit series’ second season includes 13 episodes, and will premiere this Fall.


Executive Producer/Writer/Director Frank Darabont says, “At this moment, I’m standing on a stretch of post-apocalypse interstate in Georgia, littered with abandoned cars and blessing my good luck to be reunited with our amazing cast, and our fantastic directors and crew. Across the board, there are none better. It’s great to be shooting again.

Movie News: Green Lantern: Emerald Knights – Interview with Nathan Fillion

Green Lantern: Emerald Knights is releasing on June 7th, and here is a recent interview conducted by WB in honor of the release. Nathan Fillion explains the realistic desires of being a superhero and how he feels about the characters he plays and learning to capture their personality. He also talks of his dreams of being evil (I am glad I am not the only one).

 

And in the video he references mid-video, you can watch the amazingly awesome fan made trailer with Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern rather than the utterly annoying Ryan Reynolds…

The newest episode airs tonight, May 11th on Fox, following American Idol.

We cannot sit back and let another fantastic show be taken from us. Stand up and let your voice be heard!

Breaking In has shown far too much potential to just disappear off of FOX’s schedule. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell your enemies. Tune in tonight to Breaking In.
