Archaia has announced its recently completed series Days Missing will be getting the hardcover treatment in February 2010.
Days Missing tells the stories of a mysterious being known as “The Steward.†His ability to literally “fold†days of time has allowed him to secretly remove critical days from our shared history that have forever changed the course of mankind…or so he thinks. In these missing days, The Steward battles Frankenstein, the Spanish conquistadors and artificial lifeforms, among other history-shaping forces.
There are a number of extras included in the hardcover, including:
Those interested in purchasing the hardcover can pre-order it now though Diamond and Amazon.com
The greatest foe of any Robot Overlord is the time traveler known as Doctor Who. IDW Publishing has seen fit to publish his adventures for some time, and while the humans seem to enjoy his adventures, my fellow robots in arms – namely the Daleks and Cybermen would rather we see the Doctor killed. And in this latest issue, we may just get to see the execution!
Or – “Something, Something, Something Daaaaarrrrk Siiiiide…”
Doesn’t that image look like the Emperor from Star Wars is using the Force to spy on the half-dressed secretary who lives next door?

Ever since stumbling upon Chris Stevens’ artwork, I’ve been captivated with his use of mixed media to conjure up heroes and villains. Today, it’s simple ink that is used to bring Power Girl to life. Check out the fine strokes used to shade the figure, and notice how Power Girl’s biggest assets are downplayed in the image.
We’re in the homestretch in the Major Spoilers 28 Days of Geek Giving guide for 2009. The big day is quickly approaching, and there’s still plenty of time to find that something awesome for the geek in your life.
Today’s installment we have a fairly inexpensive life-sized model of Thor’s Hammer. While other replicas will set you back several hundred dollars, this officially licensed plastic hammer will only set you back a Jackson (plus shipping). If you have someone that love’s to cosplay and needs a cool looking hammer when they dress up as the Norse god, then this is something that might complete the ensemble.
Or – “This Just In…Â Former Honor Guard Lantern Kyle Rayner is STILL Dead*.”
Heh…Â No good joke will ever die, not on my watch!
One thing you can’t say about the Locke children, is that they are a nice and quite and stay out of trouble. The latest installment of Locke & Key arrived on my doorstep, and it’s time for the middle child to rebel and show us what she’s made of.

After our discussion of James Bond on the Major Spoilers Podcast, I took a chance to see if there were any amazing art pieces that featured the hero. Well, I found one, and it happens to feature all the actor’s who have portrayed 007 over the years.
