Robotic predators living on dried human flesh (and other fun)

Long-Haired Giant Monster Gehara



I love the look of this new giant monster. He reminds me of those guys from Dark Crystal only enormous and hepped up on goofballs. (Thanks to Robert Hood for the link.)

I'm in the process of watching Gojira right now with my son.

I've seen the US version with Perry Mason, but this is my first time watching the original Japanese one. We haven't got to this scene yet.



Again, thanks to Robert Hood.

Mecha-Kong



Gimme!

Flesh-Eating Robots are REAL!

More evidence that scientists need to get out and see some movies before they kill us all.

The Awesome List: Cloverfield manga, cool statues, JJ Abrams' X-Files, Jericho, and more

Last night wasn't just about the bad movies. I also saw The Orphanage and Cloverfield, so I'll get reviews of them up as soon as I can. But first, I want to make sure I'm as caught up on news as I can be, so...

Speaking of Cloverfield

Following the clues in the online marketing campaign, fans have uncovered an online manga that may or may not tell the origin of the monster. Unfortunately, it's untranslated from Japanese right now.

(Thanks, Grant!)

Some very cool stuff coming out from Dark Horse in April

Like this:






The Amazon Bubble

Siskoid has a great observation about why Gail Simone's Wonder Woman is so good and what it has to do with Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction's take on Iron Fist.

And speaking of Wonder Woman, I have comments about the new issue of Playboy with Tiffany Fallon as Wonder Woman, but they got to be too long for this post, so I'll do them up as a separate deal.

Fringe

Sounds like JJ Abrams' take on The X-Files. I'm in.

Jericho tease

This article on the new, partial season of Jericho is mostly a repeat of what we already know: it's a seven-episode season and they've filmed two endings to air depending on whether or not there'll be a Season Three. But there's also a new bit of tease about what Seasons Two (and Three, should there be one) will focus on.

Pirats, Dark Crystal manga, and Lois Lane is an idiot

With the announcement that he's writing a comic called Pirat Tales, it's become obvious that Dan Taylor is now writing comics particularly for me. (And just what is this Buster Blaze he teases me with?)

Funniest Superman comic ever: "I only pretended to fall out the window."

Remember that Dark Crystal manga I mentioned ages and ages ago? It's still coming out in November, and Publishers Weekly has a preview.
