An amalgamation of nerdy things I love!

Hey Folks!
If you haven’t seen “Coraline” yet, go see it! It’s great!

“But why is it so great?” you undoubtedly ask. Well, for many reasons, here’s “one”…

The flick is a clay figure stop-motion, 3-D movie based on a novel by Neil Gaiman. It features some choice voice talent, as well! Among the vocal cast is rad dude John Hodgman (who I’ve expressed my complete fan-dom of before) as the voice of Coraline’s father and other father, a character who later becomes (voice-wise) They Might Be Giant’s (my fav band!) John Linnell when an original TMBG song is featured in the flick. TMBG has the song and clip on their myspace, but I’ve brought it here to show you 32 seconds of proof as to why you must see this movie.

She-Hulk: The Coolest Chick in Comics!

So, last week’s She-Hulk: Cosmic Collision by Peter David and Mahmud A. Asrar solidified the green goddess’s position as the Coolest Chick in Comics!


First, Dan Slott’s semi-recent run with the heroine showed that She-Hulk could hold her own in the courtroom, in a brawl and in a quip-fest with villains and other heroes alike.

Then, Peter David had the jade giantess make a “Battlestar Galactica” reference in his World War Hulk prologue story with artist Gary Frank.

And this past week, ol’ Shulkie laid down a double-whammy of super coolness…


She’s upset she might be dead because that would mean she can’t use her tickets to see MY FAVORITE BAND! Awesome!


And she’s well versed in my favorite action movie franchise of all time! EVEN MORE AWESOME!

Props to PAD on those two rad references. I love when you pick up a one-shot and get great little character moments that make reading it an extremely rewarding experience!

Once more, I declare She-Hulk the Coolest Chick in Comics—and that’s it for now folks!
