FINALLY.

When Charlie Daniels says “the South’s gonna do it again”, what exactly does he mean by “it”? Secede from the union? Start another civil war? Rise as insurgents against the rule of federal U.S. law?

All I’m saying is that Charlie Daniels is a dangerous voice of political dissent and should be watched. People were clapping way too loud at the thought of southern aggression.

Continuing on a thought from earlier, I think a Back to the Future Musical incorporating songs by Huey Lewis as well as 80’s and 50’s pop tunes would be a worthwhile endeavor. Let’s get on it musical producers.

Tonight I’m going to see Charlie Daniels Band and The Marshall Tucker Band at the Volunteer Jam. Lawn seats are $9.53. Riff-Raff?

Ant-Man playing Nintendo Wii (likely stolen from a small child) with notorious thief Black Fox.

Robert Kirkman, Phil Hester, Ande Parks

What more do you want?

Just for the record, I would buy a new Prince comic series in a second. In case you were wondering.

And if you’ve never seen the video of James Brown, Michael Jackson, and Prince all on stage at the same time, here it is:

Also: It is my belief that every ten years a Grammy should be awarded for best Super-Bowl Half-Time show. Prince wins.

I picked this up at Super-Con. I am a sucker for a good wedding issue. A couple of notes:

1. The cover is incredible:

2. This happens:

I don’t want to spoil anything, but the sound effects in the next panel are “choom, choom, choom”.

Dynamite Joe is firing an arrow wrapped in dynamite. He is the blast-crazy marine.

Other delightful photos from last weekend’s Super-Con in San Jose can be found here.

Invincible #42
A special 1.99 price this month, and the promise of a “new-reader friendly” start to the next story arc. From the covers I’ve seen, it looks like Mark is going back into space, which is interesting because he just got back from space in the last issue. But I like space. A lot. So this is okay.

Irredeemable Ant-Man #9
Another Robert Kirkman comic. I am the only person who likes this book. What is wrong with YOU. Ant-Man now works for Damage Control and continues to steal, lie, and hide in showers. Also, Phil Hester and Ande Parks return on art.

Black Diamond Detective Agency
Go Eddie Campbell. I really shouldn’t buy this because I have no money, but I’m sure that if it’s staring me in the face, I will buckle.

Black Summer #0

So that’s the set-up: John Horus, most beloved of the original Seven Guns team of superhuman streetfighters, has killed the President of the United States for arranging an illegal war. He has a plan, and that plan is even more frightening. (from here)

Only 99 cents supposedly. A small price for Warren Ellis killing the fictional president. (hi DHS!)
