Jonah Hex Motion Comics Trailer

Newsarama has an exclusive Jonah Hex Motion Comics Trailer that is just too cool for words.

Goodnight Travis Morgan

Word is out that Travis Morgan dies in The Warlord #12. You can read the summery here. Oh My God! You Killed Morgan is an interesting article with an interview by the character's creator, Mike Grell. To be honest, I have not bought any issues of the new series mostly because there is no local comic book store. Word is also out that the series is set to be canceled after #16.

Here is the cover artwork for The Warlord #12 by Mike Grell:

Thrift Store Find: Balancing Superman

This balancing Superman was one of five toys found in Burger King's kid meals in 1997. The toys were based on the Superman: The New Adventures cartoon series. I found him for fifty cents at a local thrift store a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, he is missing the Daily Planet building top that he balances on and a few scratches in the paint. Finding Burger King's toys are rather rare since the nearest one is about a hundred miles away.

A New Look For Robin

This page of fan art featuring different Robin costumes is from Batman #259 (November/December 1974):

I actually like the top costume especially the black and red design on the chest and torso sections.

The Bat-Kite

Batman #261 (March 1975) had the instructions for building your own bat-kite.
