Sunday, December 28th, 2014

This is the first of 7 parts of the infamous ‘Star Wars Christmas Special’, a program so terrible that legend has it George Lucas’ contributions to charity from the sale of the Star Wars property to Disney went entirely towards attempting to wiping it off the face of the Earth.

Bongo Comics – McBane #1

Wednesday, December 24th, 2014

IMG_2796

Today at the comic book store, we picked up the first issue of McBane, a new comic based around the action hero parody McBane from The Simpsons. Now, in addition to the comic, you also get this awesome movie poster for ‘Have Bodybag, Will Travel’, the latest McBane flick.

Makes it a bit hard to read, but it’s also really cool. In all honesty, though, I’m hoping this stays a one-off kinda thing, and it doesn’t become a trend.
