Facebook Game: Villains

I started playing Villains, a Facebook game earlier this evening. I like the artwork for the female villains over the male villains. I chose the werewolf and decided to name him Crimson Claw. I hit level two in about five minutes.

35,000 Milestone

Moongem Comics has hit the 35,000 visitors mark. Alison Angel seems to still be the number one reason why people are coming here but Elvira is now in the top five.

Women Wednesday: Wonder Woman Spice Incense

I thought that this Wonder Woman Spice Incense was a joke until I found that Amazon is also selling a limited quantity of them. One pack has twenty sticks and the front says "You can win your battle for freedom, democracy, and woman-kind thru-out the world." One pack has twenty sticks and they were originally released in 2008.

Ms Marvel graces the cover of the Women of Marvel magazine (Spring 2010). The issue has a mix of articles, pin ups and comic reprints that celebrates seven decades of women from Timely/Marvel Comics. The first article is titled "Witches, Widows and Warrior Women" by Robert Greenberger that is a retrospective of Marvel's females through the decades. That is followed by the first appearance of the Black Widow from Timely's Mystic Comics #4. The next article is titled "Female Creators Through the Ages" by Robert Greenberger. A Q&A with Flo Steinberg and "Bring on the Bad Girls" by Valerie D'Orazio follows.

A reprint of Tales of Suspense #52 that features the first modern appearance of Black Widow against Iron Man is included. Sarah Jaffe then interviews editor Jeanine Schaefer about Girl Comics, a new anthology title featuring tales of Marvel super heroes created entirely by women. There is even a two page preview of Girl Comics featuring Doctor Octopus grocery shopping. A reprint of Savage She-Hulk #1 follows. Will Panzo writes about "America's Next Top Mutant Model" and "X-Love". A reprint of The Uncanny X-Men #201 is next. Finally, Kiel Phegley takes a look at "The Unstoppable Spider-Girl".

There will also be variant covers by Jelena Kevic Djurdjevic that spotlights the Women of Marvel.

Official First Avenger: Captian America Cast

Chris Evans will be playing Steve Rogers aka Captain America while Sebastian Stan will be Bucky Barnes in the First Avenger: Captain America movie that is slated to be released on July 22, 2011. This will not be the first comic book movie for Evans since he played Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies. He also appears in The Losers, which is based on a comic from DC Comics, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, which is based on the Oni Press character.

Iron Man 2 Novel

I noticed the Iron Man 2 novel by Alexander Irvine (Grand Central Publishing, April 2010) in our local Super Wally World last weekend. I had to do some errands yesterday and decided to pick it up. The store also has action figures based on the movies but I will probably not be getting them since I never bought any from the first movie. I have to face the fact that I do not have the money or the room for all the toys that I would like to get.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century #16

The cover of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century (May 1982) from Whitman, an imprint of Western Publishing Company, has our hero being sold to the highest bidder in the slaver's market. B. S. Watson wrote "The Seller of Souls" while Mike Roy inked and penciled. He befriends a few of the alien slaves including a small furball named Jamel from the planet Erion. Of course, he manages a breakout and defeats the alien slavers.
