Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!
It's probably just me, but the Imaginext and the Marvel stuff for younger kids (don't remember who puts them out. Sorry) just have a better ... feel to them. They have a geeky innocence that the toys for older kids and collectors don't have.
Last time I looked, the Imaginext Superman still had red pants, too.
True. Unfortunately, I also noticed the DCnU Smirky version along with a GL in the movie outfit. On the plus side, GL in the movie outfit comes with Ch'p.
I have a bit of a song stuck in my head. I can't remember the name of it and it's driving me batty. It's a Bob Mould song, but I can't remember if it's Sugar or his later stuff. All I can remember is that it's got something to do with a birthday.
Well that was a crappy weekened for watching football. At least the Hawks didn't get sold to Seattle on Sunday.
I don't know if I've ever complained about this, but I've been off the Mark Richt bandwagon since 2006. Somethings are unforgivable (like losing to UK and Vandy in the same year). I have wanted him fired; now I'm resigned to the fact he'll be at UGA for the next 30 years. Ohh well some fans think looking at the promised land is the same as entering it. The only way UGA wins a national championship with him at the helm will be an accident; he's blown too many stupid games for me to believe otherwise.
The friggin' Giants. With 10:10 left to play, they led Arizona 14-13. The defense only allowed 37 offensive yards for the rest of the game, and they lost by 11.
Just read my very first full issue written and drawn by Jack Kirby: Kamandi: The Last boy in Earth #1. If I had read that when I was 10 years old I would have been on a much different career path. That was amazing and gorgeous to look at. Now I gotta read the rest of them ($0.99 each on comiXology!).
His style is so much better than a lot of artists out there. They could do themselves a favor and study his work a little more. I know I'm probably preaching to the choir, but dang that was fun!
Kamandi was a book I had not read until just recently, and while it's aimed at younger readers than The New Gods and The Demon, it was inventive, fun and created a GREAT world that he could have told stories in for decades.

Z Nation, SyFy’s new zomebie series, reached 1.6 million total viewers during its premiere on September 12, making it SyFy’s highest rated acquired scripted series premiere since Doctor Who in 2006.
[snip]
In Z Nation, three years have passed since the zombie virus has gutted the country, and a team of everyday heroes must transport the only known survivor of the plague from New York to California, where the last functioning viral lab waits for his blood. Although the antibodies he carries are the world’s last, best hope for a vaccine, he hides a dark secret that threatens them all. With humankind’s survival at stake, the ragtag band embarks on a journey of survival across three thousand miles of rusted-out post-apocalyptic America. Z Nation stars Harold Perrineau (Oz, Lost) Tom Everett Scott (Southland, Beauty and the Beast), DJ Qualls (Supernatural), Michael Welch (Twilight trilogy), Kellita Smith (The Bernie Mac Show) Anastasia Baranova (The Darkness II) as Addy, Russell Hodgkinson (Big Fish) as Doc and Keith Allan (Rise of the Zombies) as Murphy.

What career path would you have taken? Post-apocolyptic boy adventurer? I'm from south GA and even the schools here would frown upon the tattered pants-shorts and shirtless combo. If you tell me you wanted to be a dog-scientist I'll slap you.
Speaking of Kirby, I've been watching Batman Brave & the Bold again on Netflix. I love the openings, and there are so many Kirby creations used. The OMAC episode is an amazing Kirby lovefest, as is the Mr. Miracle opening for a Last Batman on Earth (a Kamandi episode).

How can we have one survivor and a group of everday heroes? Even if we are talking about one American survivor there couldn't be a lab in california.

It's not "Your Favorite Thing" is it? That song was always on my list of "Songs I wish we'd covered when I was still gigging in clubs".
Eh, I like Harold Perrineau and DJ Qualls. I'll throw one of my family-allocated DVR slots at it and see if it sticks. Formal review to follow ...
Not the cast's fault, it's simply a case of a: being bored to tears by zombies, and b: the shameless attempt to shoehorn* in on Walking Dead's popularity.

But thanks for the excuse to listen to some Bob Mould!

That's sort of like losing to the Brian Hoyer Browns when you have more throwing and rushing yards, and first downs. ;)
I had to take a shot this weekend has left be bitter; I hate sports.
The Giants
The Cowboys
Tampa Bay
The Panthers

Jacksonville

And those two page spreads....
Not really. It was vile.
Beautiful, but nasty.

Made me happy.
*@Matt, sometimes a crowbar is overkill. ;)
