Free comics? Free Comic Book Day this Saturday!

Mmm, comics.  I love ’em, but I also love being able to pay my mortgage.  But on one day out of the year, I get to indulge in my need to roll around on a bed full of comic books (yeah, like you never had that fantasy)…Free Comic Book Day!

This year it’s May 5th, and to celebrate, Cards Comics and Collectibles (the folks that sponsor the Baltimore Comic-Con, don’cha know) are planning to throw down.  Why?  Because it’s Free Comic Book Day, and because it’s the opening weekend of Marvel’s The Avengers.  Two treats in one, y’all.

What’s in store?  Well, from their press release it sounds awesome.  Take a peek….

That’s one creepy Cupid: Happy Valentine’s Day from “The River”

Yeah yeah yeah, so we mostly do movies ’round here.  But if I’m not staring at moving pictures at least once a day I ain’t happy.  My latest pilot that has drawn my attention: The River, from ABC Television.  So when I got their “Valentine’s Day card”, I had to share:

Clicky…if you dare!  (Cue eeeeevil laughter)

Here’s hoping your plans this February 14th are a lot less spooky.  Unless y’know, that’s your thing….

 

Celebrate Star Wars(TM): Episode I The Phantom Menace with Hasbro Giveaways!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, you know that George Lucas is bringing back The Phantom Menace to a theater near you, this time in 3D.  I know, I know; the idea of seeing Jar-Jar Binks thisclose isn’t particularly appealing.  But even though I struggle to get through the original trilogy (GEORGE LUCAS RAPED OUR CHILDHOOD…*sobs*) , even I have to say that the pod racing scenes are pretty awesome.  I’d like to see that zooma-zoom-zoom in 3D.  And now I have an even better reason.  That’s right, Free Swag.  There will be free Hasbro giveaways during opening weekend, February 10-12.  But for a lucky few, there will be more….
