Love is Love – or what if the world were gaytown?

Interesting attempt to illustrate the gay struggle to the type of straight who “just doesn’t get it.” Sort of plays like a very special political episode of the comedy series Gaytown which is viewable on hulu.

What If? Newer Fantastic Four

Lets hope this is better than “What if Tony Stark had died?” Which I found to be a bit lame. It didn’t address the Secret Invasion fallout at all. It ended before SI! Total cop out. This has all the ingredients for a good What If? – Thanos, Death, Warlock, The Infinity Gauntlet, Silver Surfer, Doc Strange and Spiderman – all this plus Mephisto and Death herself.

SuperYaoiFest! is that who you think it is? Yup!

There is a plethora of yaoi (or gei comi) themed slash art images of DC and Marvel mainstream comic book characters out there on the internet. Recent webtangent tours through my bounteous blogroll have brought down a more than a handful of heroes in situations that you won’t see in their comic books.

I listed artists (and websites when available) in the image caption for each illustration, so be sure to click on them all to get the details. Websites I found the images on are listed at the end of the post. Enjoy!

If you know of an official webspace for any of the artists PLEASE leave a comment with the URL and I will add it to the “via” credit and trackbacks.

Wanda Sykes talks Prop 8 & Day without a Gay

Did you go to work on Wednesday? I work at home so I didn’t get to change my routine that much. I did enough work that they thought I was working (they’ve always been very gay-positive and supportive), but I took it easy – as evidenced by all the posts lately.

I loved Wanda Sykes before, but she’s really moving up in my esteem with every public appearance lately. Go Wanda!

X-Men Legacy #219 – He’s the Juggernaut Bitch!

Charles Xavier confronts his brooding brutish half brother, the Juggernaut. He’d been tamed for awhile – even acting as a member of the X-Men and befriending a young fishfaced Mutant named Sammy, only to lose it a bit when Banshee’s cousin Black Tom killed the kid. He sort of fell off the X-radar for awhile after that – dimensional accident or something. but it looks like he’s back and he’s bad.

Heroes Destiny – Santiago’s story

There is a new set of Heroes webisodes – Heroes Destiny. In case you missed it, here are the 4 webisodes of “Heroes Destiny – Santiago’s story.” I bumped this a few times as new chapters surfaced.

Santiago was one of the 2 characters who won NBC’s 2007-2008 Create Your Hero contest. Santiago has the powers of accelerated probability and super speed.

The League – a superhero noir student film

The League is a superhero noir co-written and directed by Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel with the aid of Windy City Pictures and the Dodge College of Film and Media Arts. This Thesis Project for Chapman University was mentored by writer/director Tom Mankiewicz (Superman, Diamonds are Forever, Dragnet).

Promotional posters by video game senior character artist Eoin Colgan followed by the official synopsis.

The League poster by Eoin Colgan The League poster by Eoin Colgan

With the 1946 formation of “The League of Heroes” in Chicago, the country is introduced to the first ever Superhero Labor Union. Founded by The Grey Raven, his kid sidekick Sparrow, and the amazing Blue Blaze, The League of Heroes was a beacon of hope against evil and tyranny in Chicago. Now twenty years later, as The League is about to expand nationally, an old adversary makes a murderous comeback. Drawn by the rampage, the former sidekick Sparrow returns to the city–and The League–for the first time in years.

Nick Fury and his howling Secret Warriors

MySpaceComicBooks had a couple of pages from the upcoming Secret Warriors series (in addition to the ones that were published in Dark Reign #1 which I’ve also included).

Secret Invasion is over.

One man knows that in this new world – this darker now – the ideals he once served are broken relics of a greater generation… they are no more.

He knows his government can no longer be trusted, nor can any country or corporation. And no longer are heroes or vigilantes willing to do what is necessary – to do what it takes to make things right.

He knows this.

So he is moving all his pieces into place. He is assembling the players, and he is fully aware of the stakes… He knows what it will cost and he alone is willing to pay it.

Nick Fury has returned… and he has a plan.

I’m sticking to my prediction that Stonewall will be a friend of Dorothy. He’s a 7 foot shirtless muscle hunk wearing leather opera gloves! Keeping my fingers crossed for a strong, heroic, out gay powerhouse in the Marvel U. Plus he IS named Stonewall

Even a die hard Metrosexual wouldn’t adventure in that unless it was Halloween or he was auditioning for a Rufskin modeling gig. Even Northstar would think it was too gay a costume. Not that I’m complaining – it suits him.

Marvel’s Dark Reign Teaser Trailer

In case you haven’t been paying attention, the forces for order/good in Marvel Universe (including the Avengers) are now being run by the Green Fricking Goblin. Not good. Since his first act of power is to call Doc Doom, Namor, Loki, the Hood and the White Queen together at Avenger Tower to let them know what they can get away with under his rule, we can assume that isn’t going to be business as usual for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Where is Don LaFontaine when you need him? What? Oh Really? Oh that’s too bad, my condolences. But surely there’s someone better than whoever did that.
