Okay, maybe it’s not quite that bad, but I’m sure I have no doubt nerds across the country nearly swallowed their tongues when they heard that Disney was buying Marvel comics. As the details of the merger continue to trickly out, I believe it’s just a matter of time before we see angry mobs armed with pitchforks and torches take the streets. Personally, I’m just waiting for Disney to announce that the next Kingdom Hearts game will now include Wolverine as playable character. I mean, the marketing gurus over Marvel have managed to shoehorn him into just about everything else, so why not into a Disney game. Better yet, I’m sure Wolvie will soon be appearing in a whole slew of Disney animated features, probably with titles like “Wolverine’s Big Day Out” or “Wolverine and the Seven Mutant Dwarfs.” ZOMG, the possiblities are just endless!

In related news, for those seeking a bit of humor in all of this, I suggest checking out the #marveldisney twitter topic. It makes for some hilarious reading with the funniest thing I’ve seen to date being the Disney memo to Marvel. It’s worth a look just for the pic of his pants off to better fit in with Donald Duck.

That’s all for now. Feel free to engage in nerd rage in the comments section =^_-=

According to an article posted on ICv2 this morning, AMC has purchased the rights to make a TV series based on the zombie comic book series, The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman. The series, which follows the day to day struggles of a small band of everyday people trying to stay alive in the wake of a zombie apocalypse, would be written, directed and produced by three time oscar winner, Frank Darabont.

No word yet on when casting or production will begin, but it’s safe to assume that zombie nerds like my wife and I are suitably stoked to see this project come to fruition. Despite the pedigree of the individuals involved in the project so far, I still have deep reservations concerning AMC’s potential handling of the dark, violent and extremely gory content that is prevalent through out the series.

Hey, everyone. i should be back to updateing the website on a (semi) daily basis by Tuesday. I ended up having to purchase a new laptop after all (grr…I’m wiped out now) and I’ve spent the last several days trying to get used to this whole Windows Vista thing that came with it. To say it’s been a pain in the ass getting everything set up the way I like it would be a understatement. I’ve spent the majority of my weekend trying to cleaning all the bloatware out of the system so that it actually runs like it’s supposed to. Grrr. A whole weekend wasted because some idiot thinks that people actually need or want all the crap that they ship these things with. A pox on them, I say! A POX!!!!

Anyway, since I don’t have any new reviews done yet, I decided I’d share this delightfully wrong superhero pic I found over at My[confined]Space You can find several more here.

See ya on Tuesday!
