Scott Evan’s character – closeted police officer Oliver Fish FINALLY admitted aloud to someone that he is gay! Kudos to ABC for their portrayal of a troubled young cop coming to terms with his sexuality.
Its things like this and the other gay characters that keep popping up primetime on Disney-owned ABC (honored by GLAAD for being home to 6 out of 7 major gay characters on the 2008-2009 TV season) and ABC Family (Greek, Secret Life of the American teenager – this is not my dad’s family channel) that make me breathe a BIT easier about the impending Disney buyout of Marvel Entertainment… I’m not completely comfortable about it until I hear some sort of official statement about their direction for the company.
The Walt Disney Company has set its sights on Marvel Comics. The worldwide leader in family entertainment is building on its tried-and-true strategy of gobbling up branded content. In a stock and cash transaction (60 percent cash and 40 percent stock), Disney has agreed to acquire Marvel Entertainment Inc. and its extensive portfolio of over 5,000 characters (Including the Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Avengers and all associated friends and foes) in a 4 billion deal announced early August 31st, 2009.
Under the terms of the agreement and based on the closing price of Disney on August 28, 2009, Marvel shareholders would receive a total of $30 per share in cash plus approximately 0.745 Disney shares for each Marvel share they own. At closing, the amount of cash and stock will be adjusted if necessary so that the total value of the Disney stock issued as merger consideration based on its trading value at that time is not less than 40% of the total merger consideration. Based on the closing price of Disney stock on Friday, August 28, the transaction value is $50 per Marvel share or approximately $4 billion.
This is a smart decision for Disney. Their stable of content has definitely veered in a more girly direction with it’s focus on its beloved princesses, not to mention Hannah Montana and the HSM series. Adding the entire Marvel stable gives them thousands of instantly recognizable characters that boys have loved for generations.
Not sure how smart a decision it is for Marvel. I can see how Disney needs this. But I don’t see what Marvel REALLY gets out of it. They’ve been doing really well with their movies lately and while I don’t have international sales stats, I know I’m buying more of their books than usual – lots of new good ones out. I can’t be the only one buying them. I’m hoping this will be as good for the Marvel U in the long run as Disney claims… but I’m just not sure.
“This transaction combines Marvel’s strong global brand and world-renowned library of characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four and Thor with Disney’s creative skills, unparalleled global portfolio of entertainment properties, and a business structure that maximizes the value of creative properties across multiple platforms and territories,” said Robert A. Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of The Walt Disney Company.”
The Boards of Directors of both companies have already approved the transaction, but it is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, certain non-United States merger control regulations, effectiveness of a registration statement with respect to Disney shares issued in the transaction and other customary closing conditions. The agreement will require the approval of Marvel shareholders. Marvel was advised on the transaction by BofA Merrill Lynch.
Well at least it hopefully means MORE ACTION FIGURES! Here are some links to more in depth articles on the deal…
SCENE 1: Falcon Exclusive couple Aden and Jordan Jaric find more romance under the sheltering canopy of lush palm trees. They drench one another with a garden hose, the cool water sliding down their athletic bodies. Tight wet briefs exaggerate their baskets making them look huge and indecently delicious. Aden reaches inside to pull Jordan’s cock out and suck on it, then he tongue fucks the tasty cleft inside his peachy asscheeks. They reverse roles so Jordan can nurse on Aden’s hot rod and rim his hole. Then Aden gets behind his partner to screw his hole, each thrust forceful accompanied by a chorus of grunts and moans. Again the guys switch it up and Jordan plows Aden’s anxious anus until they both finish, drenching one another with their steamy manjuice.
SCENE 2: A brisk swim in the pool has Spencer Reed and Heath Anthony lathered up enough to quickly get it going. Bracing himself against the side of the pool, Spencer leans back so Heath can lick his pierced nipples and kiss his plump lips. Then he pulls himself up to sit on the edge, his horsedick coyly showcased inside his wet briefs. Heath takes the stiff dick out and wraps his lips around its girth to suck it down his throat.
The fellas get comfortable on a poolside chaise and start to 69, taking each other’s dicks down to the base. Heath buries his face in Spencer’s ass, licking the puckered hole with his tongue. Heath mounts Spencer’s pole and takes off on an ass-splitting ride. Then he lays down on his back as Spencer continues pummeling his hole, driving as far inside as he can. They both finish themselves off, jerking their cocks to explosive climax.
SCENE 3: TJ Hawke looks like a muscly water sprite caught lounging at the end of the pristine pool, relaxed and carefree. Bobby Clark swims up to the exotic sea creature and drowns him with soulful kisses. Their snug wet underwear soon slide down off their hips, exposing two magnificent love muscles. Bobby dives onto TJ’s dick to suck away, savoring each lap of that tasty piece of meat. TJ quickly returns the favor, sending Bobby over the moon. Turk Mason quietly walks in, looking just as hungry and eager, and immediately joins in.
He starts to service both jocks, his head swiveling from left to right, engulfing the two dicks. Then TJ stands up so Bobby can suck his dick. Turk gets behind Bobby and he eats out his hole. They continue sucking and rimming before TJ and Bobby tag-team and work Turk over, plugging him from both ends. Ready to explode, they stroke themselves off until all three finally climax and cum.
SCENE 4: TJ Hawke finds babe-alicious Jason Pitt at the end of the pool, looking petulant and desirable, so hungry and wanton. They kiss passionately before TJ stuffs his dick into Jason’s mouth. Then he bends over so the blond can jab his sharp tongue inside his asscrack to tease and tickle. Now it’s TJ’s turn to feed and he eagerly gobbles up Jason’s cock with gusto. Having eased the young waif into the dizzying throes of pleasure, he then sinks his dick into his puckered sphincter and fucks him hard.
They gyrate and pivot into every conceivable position so that TJ’s cock can really plunge the depths of Jason’s hole. The pummeling is relentless and Jason ends up jacking himself off to heighten the buzz he’s feeling. The action only stops when both TJ and Jason let go and spooge all over, satisfied and relaxed as the cool waters continue to churn all around them.
OK, as someone who really liked the new Batwoman after her introduction and has been eagerly anticipating a place for her stories, I wanted to love this title, but right now it just is rating a solid “like.” J.H. Williams’ art deco flavored artwork is perfect to capture the haunted quality of Gotham City, but I’m finding the “Alice” part of the storyline as arcane as part 3’s title – Affettuoso – which is Italian for “affection”. I read the story but still don’t get the title.
Greg Rucka and artist J.H. Williams continue to put the pressure on Gotham’s newest hero with the third part of ‘Elegy,” as Batwoman unites with an unlikely ally to momentarily defeat the fairytale villain known as Alice.
I read the “Crime Bible” mini with Batwoman and the Question, but I remember the followers as human? Not sure who the purple tentacle guy and werewolf are. I’ll need to read up and then maybe I’ll like the next issue better.
When Kate is forced to attend another high society event, she soon learns that her worlds are crashing together. Want more? Check out a few pages below. And then, head on over to your local shop. Simple, right?
A highlight this issue is the first meeting of 2 of the DCU’s most influential lesbians… Kate Kane, meet Maggie Sawyer. We know Kate likes cops. I hear music.
OFFICIAL NEWS: former Batgirl and Flamebird – Bette Kane will be attending “GU” (Gotham University I assume).
The votes are in. This one was closer than the other recent polls. No landslides here. Keven Williams did retain a slight lead the entire time though. He won with 20.6% of the total 107 votes. Second place is a tie between Marcus Iron and Brennan Foster with 17.8% and third goes to Jeff Quinn with 14%. If you are interested in how the rest did… Filippo Romano 11.2%, Cort Stevens 8.4%, Christopher Scott 6.5%, Trent Atkins 3.7%.
Born Novenber 6th 1965, 6′ 1" Kevin Williams is considered by many gay porn fans to be the ultimate blue-eyed blond twink. With his boy-next-door features, actual acting ability, a hot little bod, suckable 8 inch cut cock and a "firm, round, snowy white ass shaved so smooth you could eat your breakfast off it," Kevin truly excelled at playing the wide-eyed innocent, but once his undies were around his ankles, he always revealed the insatiable bottom boy within.
And could this boy take it! Kevin was a pretty mean cocksucker as well, but this was always just a warmup to the main event. He took whatever was going with scarcely a blink, cooing and gurgling with delight. "I didn’t think I’d like it but I love it!" he says in one scene, and obviously he does.
Kevin Williams‘ erection-inducing performances bottoming for some of the biggest cocks of the late 80’s (including Chad Douglas in In Your Wildest Dreams) quickly springboareded him to gay porn stardom. Kevin Williams appeared in Hot Rods 2: Young & The Hung; which became a highly controversial release (even banned in several countries) due to the lazy-susan gang-bang in which an eager Williams was dominated by fantasy leather-clad auto-mechanics with dildos and other sex toys, before being double-penetrated. The scene was missing for over 15 years, but a pristine master containing the finale was recently discovered in the Catalina Vaults and now that version is on DVD (and on demand) for everyone to enjoy.
After enjoying a few years as a highly celebrated pornstar in the "vintage, pre-condom" 80’s, Kevin Williams dissapeared from the world of gay porn, prompting many to speculate that he had suffered the same fate of many gay porn actors of his time by succumbing to AIDS/HIV.
But WIlliams surprised many when he made a 3-movie comeback with Falcon Studios in 1998 (FULLfilled – with Alex Wiolcox, Betrayed – with Jeff Palmer and Hot Wired – with Tom Chase), and showed us the fine muscular stud that the boyish twink-next-door became. At the time he was dating fellow Falcon stud Lane Fuller (and celebrated bottom) – I bet THEIR double-ended dildo got a regular workout!
Kevin Williams was inducted into the GayVN Awards Hall of Fame in 2001. "Williams remains one of gay porn’s most mysterious performers, as his real name, and whereabouts are unknown. Williams is believed to be alive."
Some of his best work includes his classic seduction scene with Mike Henson in Big Guns, his scene with Jim Pulver in Out of Bounds, (which also featured Kevin’s equally fuckable alleged cousin or brother look-a-like Chris). And of course I must mention In Your Wildest Dreams, with Chad Douglas again. (the scene can also be found on Falcon’s Best of Kevin Williams anthology.
Yes, the Greatest Top and the Greatest Bottom did a scene together! Chad was the gym instructor, Kevin the willing pupil. Kevin almost meets his match with Chad’s massive honker, but he’s a brave boy and it all goes in! Chad is his usual merciless self. This scene is burned in the memory of every viewer.
He was in the first gay porn movie that I ever saw – Stryker Force, so he gets a special place in my memories and this Legendary Studs of Yore gallery is long overdue!

Over the next month or 2 I plan to play with customizing a few themes for HeroesNHunks. Each new look will be viewed for a week or 2 and then I will try out another. Once I have 5 to choose from (including the original) I’ll be holding another poll to see what the look and feel of the site will be for the next year or so.
Site favorite blogger, the Gay Comic Geek has joined the ranks of shirtless gay vloggers!!!! Here he is giving us a tattooed gun show as he lists some of his favorite things…
Besides giving us a good look at his hot bod (nice abs Gay Comic Geek!!!), the video also includes a peek at his comic books, action figures, posters and collected artwork.
I’m really glad that Dark Reign has forced me to get to know Daken. I find him fascinating now and when he was first introduced I was indifferent at best. It’s not just due to his announced bisexuality either. His exchanges with Norman Osborn have proven him to be an intelligent man of distinction and taste, far from the mindless tool I first considered him to be. Must be that feminine side he’s in touch with.
Daken has proven himself capable of wearing many masks, but who’s the real man underneath? As one of Norman Osborn’s Avengers, he has it all: power, fame, access…but what if it’s not enough? Could Wolverine’s son have a heart after all—and if so, will it be the Fantastic Four who help him discover it? Or will they find themselves on the receiving end of a betrayal so huge it will put them at war with the Dark Avengers? Part 3 (of 3)
Note the exchange between Daken and Venom where Mac asks if he “struck out” with Ares. There is an interesting camaraderie between these two. I think Venom is growing to like and respect Daken (as a buddy) despite himself.
We have at LEAST 3 more issues (counting to one due out today) left in this mini-event, so I’m not expecting any sort of resolution just yet. I’ll be interested to see how Catherine Donovan will get re-integrated with the pure Kree Ms Marvel. Without her human tactical mind, her powers are nothing.
Hope is crushed and the battle is nearly lost as the Dark Reign event continues in WAR OF THE MARVELS Part 3! As Karla Sofen faces an unbeatable threat, the legacy of Ms. Marvel hangs in the balance.
Chris Evans is the landslide winner in the recent CELEBRITY BEEFCAKE poll (38.9% of the vote). Second place goes to Tom Welling (17.8%) and third place goes to John Barrowman (9.7%). There were 247 total votes!
Chris Evans was born on June 13, 1981 in Sudbury, Massachusetts to a Catholic Italian and Irish family. He has two sisters, and an openly gay younger brother, Scott, who is also an actor (OLtL’s Oliver Fish).
He originally planned to attend New York University, but the summer between his Junior and Senior years of High School, he travelled to Brooklyn to intern at a casting agency and take a summer acting program. He also met an agent that helped him get his start in acting after graduation.
Evans landed several more lead roles (The Perfect Score, Cellular. and the independent film London.) But the heat was really turned up after his role as the Human Torch in the silver screen adaptation of Marvel Comics’ Fantastic Four (2005).
He was named ‘Male Superstar of Tomorrow’ at the 2005 Young Hollywood Awards and reprised the role of Johnny Storm/The Human Torch in the sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007).
Evans also starred in the 2009 sci-fi thriller, Push, along with Dakota Fanning and Camilla Belle. His character (Nick Gant) is a second generation "mover" (telekinetic) just trying to lay low in a world where special people get used up. Evans was bruised during the weeks of filming as he did his own fight scenes. Evans was featured in an article in The Advocate for his role in Push.
During the Advocate interview, Evans discusses everrthing from the publicist who convinced him not to do any more shirtless photoshoots (we need to take her down – damn her!)…
I have no problem taking my shirt off for a role if the part calls for it, but my publicist says, “When you’re promoting yourself, being you, there’s a way to keep it as classy as possible. Greasing yourself up and stripping down may not be the best way to do it.” To some degree, she may have a point. [advocate]
…to his openly gay brother Scott and how although he loves to hang out with Scott and his gay buddies, he has to draw the line at going to gay bars…
That’s where a photo will get taken, it will run in magazines, and before you know it, I’ll be living down the gay rumor for the rest of my life. [advocate]
A number of gay sources have given him a hard time for that quote, but he’s right and I really can’t say that I blame him.
Colt has always had it’s Colt Men, but now for those of you who prefer chicken to beef, Buckshot has its boys. Their new tagline for the reimagined imprint says it all — “Clean boys doing dirty things!” The latest Buckshot blue movie, CURIOUS sports a cast that includes fan-favorite stars Benjamin Bradley and Jason Pitt with Hugo Alexander, Jessie Jordan, Nash Lawler, Rob Ryder and Hayden Stephens.
Its a weekend full of new experiences for the young, sexy and hung Hayden Stephens. During a get-a-away at a friend’s house he meets his first ever, real-life adult video star. He watches his first ever man-on-man movie. And when he kisses another guy for the very first time, something just feels so right that he does a whole lot more than just kiss another guy.
The Boys of Buckshot are back at it, showing us how fun and playful sex with other guys can be. These youthful lads let it all hang out, lose their inhibitions and let their curiosity take over. Aren’t you just a little CURIOUS too?

Blastaar’s alien army has seized 42, the Initiative’s prison in the Negative Zone. Someone has to take it back, and the Taskmaster has assembled a team to do just that.
But when Komodo looks around her at the squad of Z-list super-villains she’s supposed to go into battle with, she wonders if this is a recovery job…or a suicide mission! And when she encounters familiar faces who had been incarcerated within the prison, will they be friend or foe? Also, because you demanded it–the return of Butterball!
Makes sense that the heroes best off with their powers disrupted are those WITHOUT powers. Prepare to see Mockingbird kick some ass…
Oh man, it is not a good day for the New Avengers. Someone has invented a power disruptor and unleashed it in New York City. The heroes have fallen. Some are hurt bad, others near death.
Who will rise to the challenge and save the day? A very important DARK REIGN issue. Something big happens. Not going to tell you what it is but it happens on page 17, panel 4.
When checking the latest at the always fascinating Towleroad, I found this exceptional video for Grizzly Bear’s “Two Weeks” by fan and animator Gabe Askew.
Askew is from Tustin, CA where he works in Architectural Vis. The video took him four months of after-work time and weekends (he estimated it to be about four full work weeks). He also paints and does illustration work.
When VRay asked about the idea behind the story, the Gabe Askew had this to say…
The lyrics, to me, told the story of a relationship where one person is uncertain of the others loyalty. You get sucked up into the daily grind and forget to tell the one you love how you feel. They get insecure and worry that you aren’t committed. And the line “I told you I would stay” is like a battle cry for fighting to keep your relationship together when it seems to be on the brink.
Check out that VRay interview to also see some of his 3D textures and animatic images!
The BLACKEST NIGHT is upon us, and every corner of the DCU is rife with reanimated heroes and villains. No one is unaffected, but some teams — like the TITANS — have seen more than their share of death. On August 26th, the first issue of BLACKEST NIGHT: TITANS from writer J.T. Krul and former cheesecake artist Ed Benes hits the stands. Don’t miss it as the Teen and adult Titans come face to face with the deadly embrace of revenant friends, loved ones and enemies.
BLACKEST NIGHT: TITANS editor Brian Cunningham was kind of enough to give us the skinny on the mini-series. Take it away, Brian:
“Working on these characters is something Ed Benes has wanted for a very long time, so we are more than happy to oblige him! And he has a wonderful script to draw from. J.T. Krul worked closely with Geoff Johns to stay true to the spirit of the ‘Blackest Night’ event, and what they came up with is a horror movie on paper. I really feel both ‘Blackest Night’ fans and Titans fans will be VERY happy with this mini-series.”
I REALLY am enjoying this event thus far. In all it’s issues, Final Crisis never delivered 1 tenth of the menace, terror and anticipation of the first issue of Blackest Night. I LOVED Blackest Night: Superman #1 and with all the potential Black Lanterns of the Titans, this should be exponentially enjoyable!
What is it about a well-built man in a pair of sexy underwear that can get us so hot and bothered? Of course we all want to know what’s underneath that underwear so we let our imaginations run wild when we spy a hot guy at the gym who’s managed to slip into his before we’ve seen the goods.
For all you underwear fanatics out there… You may remember in the original “Dripping Wet,” Ginch Gonch supplied the undies. – Falcon Studio’s latest underwear opus Dripping Wet 2 is the second installment in what will become a series of yearly films for Falcon. This year, the guys at /baskit/ have teamed with the studio to create a pornographic catalog of this season’s collection and have outfitted Aden & Jordan Jaric and TJ Hawke for all their club gigs this summer.
Falcon Exclusive Erik Rhodes filmed some Behind The Scenes material that will be included on “Dripping Wet 2” as a DVD extra.
Once Falcon saw all the hot underwear they felt stills of the guys wearing them wasn’t enough, so they had their uber-talented web department (inspired by the Adidas Jersey Swap) create something new… the /baskit/ undie swap!

I first noticed this Thursday night on Market street – a distinct smell of shit in the air. At first I thought I had stepped in a road apple but upon checking my footwear discovered I was clean. It went away once I descended into BART and I didn’t smell it when I got where I was going. But Friday afternoon I had errands to run all over the city and I smelled the same stench in Laurel Heights, on Fillmore, on Market again and even all the way in Potrero Hill. I had a friend with me who smelled it too, so it wasn’t just me.
I’ve spotted a few sources asking what it was, but no answers as of yet. It was mentioned by KTVU and there were lots of peeps yelping about it. Anyone have an answer?
