I wonder if the powers that be decided to reveal the news of Brian Cranston signing up to play Lex Luthor was done to let off some of the steam that poor Ben Affleck was suffering from the days prior?Either way, I’m all in. 100% all in. And I know you are too. Specially if you’ve been keeping up with the Breaking Bad series on AMC. I mean, the angry face and rage wrinkles this man has achieved as Walter White have sent chills down my spine. I have a feeling that, if done correctly, his role as Lex could be as brilliant as Heath Ledger as the Joker. YAH I SAID IT. JUST YOU WAIT.

HOLY CRAP. ALL THIRD SHIFT WORKERS AT FACEBOOK AND TWITTER LOST THEIR MINDS THE OTHER NIGHT! I’m pretty sure that 90% of people’s post across the world had the words wtf, batman, and affleck.Or at least that’s what it looked like on my wall– and yes I was part of the hate mob. And then I went to bed. And shit got WORSE.

I was a bit disappointed after watching the latest Superman movie for three reasons: a) there wasn’t more fighting. b) not enough screen time of Amy Adams, and that wonderful smile of hers. c) no cellophane capes to defeat the badguys.

HEY KIDS. GUESS WHAT. SDCC WAS AMAZING. SO AMAZING IN FACT- that my immune system thought it would take a break, and let some nasty jerks in, those jerks being part of the con flu squad. I apologize for this being so short, but I’m typing this with a dizzy head and sweat pouring down my face. <3

AMIGOS & AMIGAS. THANOS IS COMING. I hadn’t read the Infinity Gauntlet since I was a kid, and rereading parts of it again made me realize something I’d never even thought of before (cause I was a kid obviously)– that storyline is just one giant love story. An incredibly morbid love story. Poor Thanos just wanted a girlfriend. I think most of us can relate with that aye?

IRON MAN 3! ITS HERE! FINALLY! AND GUESS WHAT? I’M TOO BUSY TO GO SEE IT. SO SHUT YOUR MOUTHS. NO SPOILERS PLZ. I wonder how long that will last. I hate not being able to go see movies when they come out. More often than not, if I don’t catch a new release with friends, then I don’t see it till the flick comes out on dvd. Why? Because I don’t wanna be that guy that goes to the movies alone. I just can’t do that.

FELIZ CUMPLEANOS SUPERMAN! Wow- 75 years young! Blows my mind that comics have been around that long, I mean conventional comics in the way we know them this day and age… We all know that sequential art has been around since before man invented the wheel, cave paintings of men chasing game on one wall and on the next arrows going into the beasts!

AH! Who’s broke? BETTER YET- WHO ISN’T BROKE? It’s obvious most of us are suffering these days, and with all these advents in new banking technology- why does it still take three business days for a check to clear?What good is it that I can take a picture of my check with my phone and deposit the sucker when I’m not gonna be able to see that green for another 3 days, and longer if I deposit it on Friday? AGH.

I was driving around the other day, and for whatever reason– the sun was ACTUALLY OUT. Mind you, I live in Chicago– which means we have two seasons: winter and construction. The sun is shy during the winter, but when it does show up to the freeze fest — its brighter than normal. The snow on the ground reflects it and it feels like your staring at the sun, ANYWHERE YOU LOOK.

CHILDREN! I listen to a lot of NPR (or PRI here in the USA) and last few weeks has been A LOT of talk about gun control blah blah blah– but one really interesting thing they brought up– not a lot of people in this country actually OWN guns. That made me think— who do *I* know that actually OWNS a gun. I don’t. Well maybe a pellet gun that LOOKS like a real gun…but even then, its not MINE. It’s my roommate’s. A hundred years ago, I’m sure that a lot more people owned guns- two hundred years ago I can’t help but think that every single willing and able man, woman and child was packin’.

I’m tempted to put a spoiler alert on this- but is it really worth it? How many times has this happened? It’s gotten to the point where I imagine Batman just finds it annoying, and he begins to blame the kid he rescued for being an idiot. This sort if situation makes me think about comics and games in general- when the “good guys” kill the “bad guys”, rarely do we see the character try to deal with the stress of killing. Granted, some of these guys are superheroes, and they have better things to do than suffer from post traumatic stress- but what about the normal humans?

Playstation 4 HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED! CAN I AFFORD IT? NOT REALLY! DO I WANT ONE? OF COURSE! DO I NEED IT? HELL NO. Did y’all see the demo for WATCH DOGS? IT TAKES PLACE IN CHICAGO. I LIVE IN CHICAGO. This means I never need to use google maps again! Maybe…

Hey amigos and amigas! Happy Valentines Day! IT IS A GOOD DAY, TO DIE HARD. I really hope this movie is as good as the last- cause I have a feeling it’ll be the last one Willis musters up the strength to do- God knows we don’t wanna see him pushing it like Arnold is in THE LAST STAND.

I’ve come to realization that a lot of people out there expect every blockbuster movie that comes out to be an Oscar award winning piece. Or at least they sure do rant that way!People think I’m nuts because I love the old Stallone JUDGE DREDD movie. It’s great- and I’ll tell you why- cause its FUN. Transformer movies, FUN. BRING IT ON, FUN. Yes I’ve watched BRING IT ON. SEVERAL TIMES. IT’S A GOOD MOVIE. IT’S FUN. Maybe I’m just a sucker for cheesy Hollywood stories where the good guy walks away from a giant explosion carrying the hot lead actress.

Hey amigos and amigas! Happy New Year to all! I’ve hit the ground sprinting, so I’ve been super busy- APOLOGIES FOR LACK OF CARD LOVE!Here’s a card I did for a Xmas commission!I’m sure I’m not the only one that gets annoyed when a live action movie changes the outfit of a character so much that they’re completely unrecognizable! So I ask you this- did we really need to lose the H mask? HM? xoxo gabo gabo@ComicImpact.com

Break out your puffy coats amigos and amigas! WINTER IS COMING.Or your bear skin clothing and wolf paw gloves, if you enjoying throne games. EITHER WAY- ITS GETTIN COLD! Now for you who have lived all their lives near the equator, (I’m talking to you Californians, Arizonians, Texans, etc.) you may not understand the severity of this joke– don’t shake your head at me… oh you came to Chicago once in the winter for a wedding? Don’t lie to me- nobody here gets married in the winter. Okay maybe a few nut balls who want a winter wonderland ceremony- but trust me, they get china from Wal-Mart and gift cards to McDonalds for inviting us to a winter wedding. JUST KEEPIN IT REAL. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
