Ted: Restricted Trailer

Real or fake movie . .  . whatever! This trailer is fucking genius

Mark Waid – Luther

By now, if you are a comic book fan, you probably have heard that Mark Waid is selling off his comic collection to fund his move into the digital comics realm. If not, no biggie, here is the basic jist of it: printing comics is expensive. So expensive that it is very hard for independent creators to release a new comic book and expect to turn a profit. Hell, for some, it is a goal just to break even. That is not good for creators, fans or even comics in general. So, cut out the printing portion (at least until the project has turned to be proven successful), and that makes it much more viable. Other creators have been doing it, but Mark Waid is the biggest name at this point to throw his hat into the ring, and seems to have a model in mind that others are taking notice of.

Am I for this? Hell yes I am, and I am an avid print fan (and I do buy a few things here and there on digital). I am not gonna go into much more detail, you don’t need me to convince you, and in fact, I doubt I could. What I do want to do is make sure you at least check out the free comic offering from Waid’s website showing off what he can do in the digital realm with other talented creators.

So click the gore-tastic image above to get taken to Mark Waid’s website where you can download the story of Luther for free. It’s good. I promise. You can even print it out if you want.

Burnt Weiners – Whatcha Checking Out #2 – Bo And His Detailed Throne

Burnt Weiners Episode 108 Saucer County – Batgirl – DB Cooper

 

The boys are forced to record on a Fridy night instead of their normal time because of John’s sadness of hearing that Encyclopedia Britanica will no longer be making printed editions! In better news, Bo’s wife Adel interupts and then joins the show (and proceeds to shake her mic like a bag of popcorn through most of it), and Weed secretly figures out the other half of the battle besides the “knowing” thing. Bo stinks like crem bruelee . . .  but that is not something you can discover by just listening to our podcast.
