Ostrander Auction: a shirt with dozens of signatures
This just got dropped off to comix4sight‘s booth by Jon at EB30.us: the shirt they got almost everybody to sign at last year’s convention. And signatures keep getting added: here’s John Jackson Miller (the other monthly Star Wars writer) adding his name, and George Perez added Wonder Woman– this to a shirt that already had Warren Ellis, Peter David, Adi Granov, Gail Simone, Whilce Portacio, Jim Valentino, Humberto Ramos, Dan DiDio, Erik Larsen, the list goes on and on. (And yes, you’ll be getting a list along with the shirt and a certificate of authenticity.)

Crazy Sexy Geeks: A New Weekly Web-Series
So your parents loved Robert Downey, Jr. in Iron Man but don’t think comics themselves have anything to offer? Your friends loved V for Vendetta and The Dark Knight and are curious to read comics now but aren’t sure where to start? This is the show to help them all out.
Starring yours truly and New York actor Jose Ramos, “Crazy Sexy Geeks: The Series” is meant to help new people get into comics and other geeky entertainment while also being fun for those already initiated. Each week we will discuss topics such as openly gay super-heroes, why there don’t seem to be many women super-heroes outside of comics, whether remakes are better than sequels, the challenges of film adaptations, and other fun topics that anyone with a smidgeon of pop culture knowledge can enjoy.
This is not your typical comic book video blog where two or three guys sit in a basement or at a friend’s house and just review what came out this week. This is a show where we go out on the street, asking mainstream America what they think about super-heroes, sci-fi films, etc. Likewise, there are professional interviews with folks such as Rob Zombie, Edward James Olmos, novelist David Mack (Star Trek: Destiny
For our first episode, watch us chat with Amber Benson (Tara from “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) about female super-heroes, her new novel Death’s Daughter

Hasbro Studios Promises to be Truly, Truly Outrageous
Did you like Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Are you chomping at the bit to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra? Do you just wish that more cartoons and movies would come out of existing toylines? Well, today’s your lucky day, as Hasbro recently announced the opening of Hasbro Studios, which is dedicated to doing just that, and just placed Stephen J. Davis, most recently CEO of Family Entertainment Group, as President.
To remind you, Hasbro owns a majority stake in your childhood nostalgia: apart from the previously-mentioned Transformers and G.I. Joe, their brands include Mr. Potato Head, Battleship, Clue, Pictionary, Dungeons and Dragons, NERF, and many more. They even own Magic: The Gathering!
But I think, of all the brands they own, we’re all most excited for a live-action Jem and the Holograms. Right, guys?
What ‘Thundercats’ Could Have Looked Like
This one pretty much speaks for itself: Movieline’s got some concept art for that fan-made Thundercats trailer that further details the look he would have gone with in a full movie.
I especially love the Third Earth cityscape. Go check it out!
