Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Carlo Pagulayan

Posted on by

Conan makes an appearance in the Art Appreciation Moment of the Day, with a piece by Carlo Pagulayan.  I’m digging the fine detail of this drawing that he used as a tryout for the redesign of the current Dark Horse Comics Conan series.

Get Your Tru Blood Here!

Posted on by

Fans of the HBO vampire series True Blood know that the undead living among us quench their blood lust by drinking an imaginary brew called Tru Blood, a synthetic blood derivative. The show’s popularity has HBO actually making and selling a Tru Blood drink.

  • Meticulously crafted, the Tru Blood Drink is an exact replica of the bottle design as seen on True Blood. The 14oz glass Tru Blood bottle is stained in a rich red, with raised Tru Blood English lettering and matching Japanese Kanji.
  • This blood orange flavored soda is slightly tart, lightly sweet and subtly carbonated. Designed to taste great while matching the appearance of Bill’s favorite drink, the drink pours like a regular soda, but with the standing appearance in a glass is stormy and mysterious.

A four pack of this strange brew will set you back $16.00.

SDCC ’09: JSA comes to Smallville

Posted on by

Geoff Johns announced during the Smallville panel that he is writing an episode called Society that introduces the Justice Society of America to the Smallville universe.

Also announced during the panel is word that Allison Mack and Tom Welling will both direct episodes this season.  And as we hinted at the other day, Clark Kent will don the Superman suit in the season’s debut episode.  The producers do want the series to go to a 10th season, and are hoping the shows move to Friday night will help that.The appearance of Zod, played by Callum Blue, will help that as well.

The panel members also said they read all the blogs that talk about the shows – even when the talk is “mean”.  Hello everyone from Smallville, take a look around, we have more Smallville stuff here too.  Perhaps you might get Erica Durance to stop by and say hello…

SDCC’09: Hot rumor of the day: Superman to appear on Smallville

Posted on by

Well, duh, we already know Clark Kent is Superman and has been on the Smallville television series for the last 9 years, but one has to remember the Superman costume, and powers like flying have been kept strictly on the down-low to avoid mixing the Smallville universe with the DC in-continuity one.

That might all change come Sunday when it MIGHT be announced that Superman’s outfit will make an appearance in the season premiere of season 9 – aptly titled “Superman”.

Does this mean we might see Tom Welling take over the film franchise down the road?  Another rumor has a made for television movie called Metropolis in the works for The CW.

Keep in mind, both of these are rumors for now, but we should have a better idea of what is going to happen on Sunday.

Editor’s Note: As promised during the most recent Major Spoilers Podcast, we have a brand new feature debuting on the site today in the form of a regular Major Spoilers web comic by our good friend Bruce Otter.  Every Friday (or nearly every Friday) Bruce takes the strange bits of goings on at the Stately Spoiler Manor and turns them into humorous strips for all to enjoy.

We kick off today’s inaugural strip (although more can be found in the Major Spoilers forum) with an appearance by the newest member of the Major Spoiler Family – Victoria.

SDCC’09: Overheard at the Con – Burn Notice: The Movie

Posted on by

Twilight fans are nothing compared to the throngs of people who flock to every panel appearance by B-movie actor Bruce Campbell.  He’s there again getting the crowds to eat out of his hands, and on the Burn Notice panel, a bit of news was dropped that may have fans flocking to the DVD section of their local store.

According to network insiders, USA is talking with Fox, which makes the series, about producing a straight-to-DVD prequel that would cover Axe’s adventures before his attempts to help his best friend, blacklisted spy Michael Westen.

The panelists also said they have been thinking about a Burn Notice movie, but Campbell reassured the crowd that the film wouldn’t rely on heavy CGI explosions.

SDCC’09: Meet Stan Lee

Posted on by

Marvel is bringing legendary comic creator Stan Lee to the San Diego Comic-Con and giving fans a chance to meet The Man.

Starting at 9am on July 24th, come by the Marvel Booth (#2429) to receive a ticket (no purchase necessary) for a random drawing to meet Stan Lee. Shortly thereafter, Marvel will conduct the drawing and if you’re one of the lucky fans whose ticket is randomly pulled, you will receive a special pass to meet Stan Lee and have one item signed during his appearance at the booth from 1:30-2:00, later that day.

While it would be super cool if Julian was able to get Stan Lee to sign the Major Spoilers Poster during the Julian Challenge, getting in on this deal is like a 1 in 140,000 chance.
