Frank Frazetta Died!
I SUCKS writing this. The man was 82 when he passed away from a stroke but i can honestly say that i didn't want him to go. As devastated as the crew was when Michael turner died, this hits me a bit more personally.
Frazetta was an iconic artist. Ground breaking in so many ways. His work became the face of Fantasy and Sci-Fi.
His style was unique and gorgeous.
His technique... well he was known for putting his work in his oven so that it could be completed. In one day!
He asked for his paintings back and got them. Setting a precedent for all artists.

Ok, so i was just sitting my ass down in front of the laptop. truly just minding my own business. then i get hit with this lovely image at http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=37155&mode....
i really don't know what to say!
This reminds me of the ridiculous toys that are available for Batman as well as Spider-Man and so many others. i mean we have seen all types. from deep sea Batman to moon walk Batman. Pilgrim Batman! I just don't know. it comes off as extremely cheesy and something one would see in the Adam West series.

WOW!!!! So Disney is buying Marvel. Is this a WTF moment or a YAY moment? Let us know.
Me personally, i see both good and bad in this.
The Good:
More Exposure for Marvel - this can be a huge push for Marvel.
More Marvel Cartoons - a whole channel for their cartoons makes it common sense
Marvel Meets Pixar - just got goose-bumps, i am sure the geeks at Pixar did too
Major Player like Disney can afford to keep low sell comics out on the shelves - this is one of the "perks" of being owned by a Corp., they should have your back
The Bad:
