SUPERFANBOY

Just my luck, I ended up seated beside Mr. Superfanboy last night, at the 12 midnight screening of SUPERMAN RETURNS.

As much as I'd like to empathize with the next geek, he was just overreacting to everything on the screen. (I also think he was trying to impress his date.)

Mr. Superfanboy kept going, OOOHHH! AHHH! WHOA! WOW! WHOA! ASTEEEG!

Now, I must admit, there were a lot of scenes that made me gasp and say, "Astig!', but Mr. Superfanboy kept yelping every 60-seconds.

He also went into, what I usually call, the Pesky Samaritan-mode, where he started to try and help the characters in the movie. He said things like, "LOOK OUT! NO! DON'T DO THAT! OH NO! WHOA! THAT'S BIG! WHOA! THAT'S KRYPTONITE! WHOA!" And he kept squirming and jumping up and down in his seat.

Oh. What. Fun.

Anyway, talking about geeks that also watched and loved the film, Jessica Zafra posted 13 reasons why SUPERMAN RETURNS is super.

From a comic book geek point of view, it was great to see how Bryan Singer paid homage to so many iconic comic book covers and scenes. It was also great to see how he echoed and updated scenes from the first Superman movie.

SUPERMAN RETURNS definitely deserves that spot beside the first two Superman movie. (Let's all forget the third and fourth movie.)

So, go watch the movie (then watch it again on IMAX) and try to avoid sitting beside Mr. Superfanboy.

BAD BOYS!

COMES FOR YOU?!


ULTRACOPS was supposed to be one of the super-secret projects that was going to be launched in this year's Komikon, but Ian got a bit excited and uploaded a whole bunch of art from the book.

The story and plot is all Ian. Bow's helping out with the script and I'm... I'm just standing back, smiling, very happy to see Digmaan and his boys (and girl) kick super-human butt.

“Meet Ramon and Pepito. They're two ad agency rejects who believe that it's the industry's loss that they were never hired--simply because to them, they are the best ad critics on the planet. In their quest to make the advertising industry a better place, Ramon and Pepito have decided to put together their own show that puts many award-winning ads in a different light.”

These two guys just started video-blogging. They’re the Beavis and Butthead of advertising. Quick, somebody in ETC give them a time slot at 3am!
