Let’s explore some corners of Geekdom from the last few days through pictures, shall we?
- HBO Picks up A Game of Thrones (pilot + 9 episodes)
- Mr. Spidderman at the Wailing Wall during Purim.
- Nick Simmons, son of KISS frontman Gene, plagiarizes Bleach manga, among others, in Incarnate #1, his comic from Radical Publishing. Amidst the uproar he released a gem of a statement: “This was simply meant as an homage to artists I respect… certain fundamental imagery is common to all Manga… I am certainly sorry if anyone was offended or upset by what they perceive to be the similarity between my work and the work of artists that I admire.” What a maroon.
- Don’t call it a comeback. That guy’s been here for years. DC’s Just Imagine Stan Lee, anyone? SHUDDER.
- J.H. Williams III signing at FPNYC 2/28. Great guy. Great day.
- Marvel published a hardcover of their superlative Strange Tales anthology comics from Summer 2009. Featuring original work from the likes of Peter Bagge, Paul Pope, Junko Mizuno, Stan Sakai, Dash Shaw, Matt Kindt and more, the book design is as sexy as the creator lineup is unbelievably talented.
