Hey guys, this is the first-ever Comicgasm joint entry! Well, it’s just Ade and RJ (coz Fiel has way too much in his hands right now, mind you), and what we’re doing here is Comicgasm’s little bit of civic duty! We’re going to help save the earth.

So guys, remember, it’s Blog Action Daaaaay! Except it’s about to end in 15 minutes! But hey, it’s still noon in New York!

You see, Captain Planet visited the Comicgasm offices today. We were all busy getting handjobs from Eastern European prostitutes working hard to write the high-quality kind of comic book reviews Comicgasm is known for: a little rushed and done half-heartedly, and peppered liberally with dick jokes. Then OMGSH it’s Captain Planet tapping our windows with that creepy pedo-smile of his! (continue reading…)

I’ve been emo and single for the past 5 days, only reason I’m posting is because Ade and Fiel threatened to steal my alcohol collection if I dont(they know where I live). But I realized that there’s no better way to keep my state of denial than distracting myself with geeky hobbies(and alcohol). And what do we have here? THREE comic book events this weekend? Why must you do this to me? WHY?

Due to Typhoon Pepeng, this event has been postponed and moved to 17 October 2009 with same time schedule.   I’ll be wearing my Red Lantern shirt, feel free to invade my personal space.

• 10 am – 9pm
• Megatrade Hall 1, 5th Level Bldg. B, SM Megamall

I know you people have been holding your breath for the longest time for this, but those looking for a grand reunion of the Avengers might see what they’re looking for in Marvel’s new four-issue event, called The Siege.

Written by Brian Michael Bendis and art by Olivier Coipel, The Siege spells the end of Norman Osborn’s Dark Reign. According to Bendis, the reunion of the big three (Iron Man, Captain America and Thor) is very instrumental to the end of Dark Reign. It’s a “seismic shift in the Avengers books” akin to that of Avengers Disassembled. (continue reading…)

I dunno where RJ gets these things.

Okay, the Archie universe is beginning to be as convoluted as DC and Marvel.

According to Canada.com (lol), Archie’s married adventures in the future are far from over.

Back in May, it was revealed Archie would finally ditch his wishy-washy Riverdale High School persona and get hitched. The pronouncement caused a huge media buzz and led to editorial columns debating the virtues of marrying the pleasant, blond Betty versus hooking up with Veronica, the often-bad-tempered brunette.

Well, it seems the redhead with the checkerboard hair is living some sort of a six-part dreamlike existence in which he is walking down a road called Memory Lane. In the first scenario, released in an edition last month, Archie walks toward a fork in the road and turns left, allowing him to see his life after a marriage to Veronica. This time, he walks to the right and envisions a future with Betty as his bride. In each sequence, Archie ends up with twins.

Also, from NY Times:

This alternative future will be a relief to the fans who reacted negatively to the marriage to Veronica. “The polls that I’ve seen ran about 80/20, Betty over Veronica, with Jughead continually coming in a strong third,” said Mr. Uslan, a comic-book historian.

LOL.

Ok, so now that Archie Comics have introduced the concept of alternate timelines in their universe, epic major crossover anyone?

Know what I think? I think Archie Comics should’ve just stuck to their guns with the Archie-Ronnie marriage and came up with a married Archie spinoff. Now that’s something I would want to read.

And if they feel that they can’t get Archie out of the marriage without aging him, there’s always Mephisto.

P.S. I fear that Archie comics may jump the shark after all of this.
