End of the Week Explosion #10
It's the end of the week explosion! I have a new career as a police officer...well...it's more like I'm in charge of the neighborhood watch...and by that I mean I'm really enjoying calling the cops on the kids in my building for playing with illegal fireworks

I'm officially old. The kids in my neighborhood were lighting off some serious illegal fireworks last night. They were aiming roman candles at each other, running down the street carrying fountains, and I think they lit a trashcan on fire. I was all like "Man, one of those kids is gonna hurt themselves

End of the Week Explosion #9
It's the end of the week explosion! This week we've got an exciting Transformers video and more rambling about Die Hard. And...appliances. Let's see what Seacord had to say without being sworn-in under oath. Q: First things first...have you seen this new Transformers video...

I turn 85-years-old on June 27th. I'm gonna be on the Today Show with Willard Scott and everything. This year the only thing better than the free ice cream I get from Friendly's is that new comics come out on my birthday. I'm certainly no math genius, but the way I figure it - new comics day only aligns with your birthday once every 22 years (23 if there is a Leap Year in the mix somewhere)...

It's been a strange couple of weeks around here at Comics Alliance. There's been talk of prison, Kelly Clarkson albums, enjoyment of the second Fantastic Four movie...in short it's really been time to expect the unexpected. Even with all of these surprises turning up, it's nice to know that we can always count on new comics coming out every Wednesday...

Jeffrey Brown’s ‘Incredible Change-Bots’
Top Shelf Productions is one of my absolute favorite publishers in comics. I can't believe that it's their 10th anniversary, which is quite the accomplishment. I was looking around their website the other day when something caught my eye. We've been talking about the impending Transformers movie quite a bit, but The Incredible Change-Bots by Jeffrey Brown takes us back to a time when robots in dis

End of the Week Explosion #7
What a crazy week! Fantastic Four 2! Batman costume! Death! Omnibus attack! Kelly Clarkson! Luckily Seacord, our friend and the angriest fanboy on the planet, just got back from Japan and had some time to talk about what's going down...
Q: So late-breaking news – Entertainment Weekly (who this week totally ripped off my "Greatest Action Movies of All Time" manifesto AND got it wrong by i

FF2 Rises to the Occasion
I'm going to tell you something not many reviewers would admit to: I went into Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer fully expecting to hate it. It's impossible not to have preconceived notions about films when you go to see them, and no amount of Jedi mind tricks aimed at clearing your head will work to erase those thoughts

Kelly Clarkson! I totally don't care what you have to say about this, but I am totally psyched for the new Kelly Clarkson album, My December. You should be too. She played with Jeff Beck on the Idol finale this year and Mike Watt (look it up) plays bass on a bunch of her new songs...
