A whole new can of crossover worms!

Well, the big shocker in media at the start of the month was without a doubt the Marvel (the House of Ideas) is being bought up by Disney (the House of Pink Fairy Princesses). A four billion dollar deal (regulator approval pending, and all that).

Well, that certainly opens up an entirely new can of worms in terms of crossover potential. And to lay claims to a portion of the cake, here I give you:

Elektra, Disney Assassin Fairy Princess wielding her trusted two-handed battle wand of terminal cuteness!

But of course, while everyone loves an innocent piece of princess ass, the truth is that there can be only one true master of the merged Disvel/Merney universe. A true legend among comic book characters, the other demented duck, the future leader of the Magic Superkingdom:

All hail Howard the Duck!

Gandalf Lives!

An here's picture-perfect proof:

Okay, so it's not quite Gandalf the White. Or Gray, for that matter. More like his counterpart from a darkly twisted parallel Middle Earth. Gandalf the Black, he who hat layeth the smaketh down upon the Balrog just because he damn well could.

Then again, maybe it's not Gandalf.

In fact, I guess in this reality, it's just Hermann Nitsch, a bloody artist. Okay, that sounds wrong. But he is an artist who seems engrossed with the medium that is blood. And the nice little portrait is really just promotional material for an exhibition held at Künstlerhaus in Vienna.

Still, Nitsch does have something Gandalf the Black-ish here, ey?

Back by popular demand

Well, with about two regular readers (give or take), one demand is pretty popular. I'm not sure there'll be much content, but the "archives" are again live. Yep, that includes the fabulous Deutsch!?!? Babel Fish translations. No, I don't see new content happening there, ever.

Does anyone care?

"I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're really up there, please... SAVE ME Superman!"

Why? Because it's a quote. Guess who.
