Show Notes after the Jump!
Nerdtacular II: The Dark Knight!
Check out my fat face in this diary entry.
[quicktime]http://www.majorspoilers.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07a/nerdtaculardiary1.mov[/quicktime]
I’ve got my HD camera with me today, and I plan on capturing a lot of the festivities, we’ll see if I get around to posting that video – I promise I won’t be in it the next time (wink).
Did you attend the Nerdtacular event? Did you see Dark Knight? What are your thoughts.
I’m in the process of cleaning out the Major Spoilers Toy Closet (something that is taking forever). The toy collection goes back nearly 20 years and contains a variety of figures (some are for sale), and I’m constantly amazed at the number of different styles a particular character can take.
This brings me to…
Yes, take the jump and see all the Darkseid incarnations.
Okay, so it is more like the Kara clone Galatea from the Justice League Unlimited, but it is probably the closest thing we’re going to get to a JLU figure based on the busty heroine.
There are a lot more photos of the new JLU figures (including Captain Atom and a well done Giganta) over at Action Figure Insider.
All of the photos were taken by con attendees, which reminds me; Did anyone go to the show and want to share their photos? Contact Stephen Schleicher and we’ll get them up for all to see.
Listener Drive Raises Money for Comic Creators
The month of April is pledge month for the Major Spoilers Podcast (www.majorspoilers.com). But unlike other pledge drives that ask listeners to give money, Major Spoilers is flipping the tables and pledging money directly to the Hero Initiative (http://www.actorcomicfund.org/) to aid comic creators.
Well I made the STUPID mistake of upgrading to WordPress 2.5 late last night, and even though the update has been available for two weeks and claims to be functioning correctly, there are still many things that need fixing.
What exactly goes on behind the iron curtain of superheroes? Sure we get to see Bruce brooding in his cave, Clark attempting to have a normal life with Lois, Wally and family trying to cope with their particular lifestyle, but all of these views are from the perspective of the writer, not the person living in the world of the heroes. It is surprising that there are not more stories that focus on the celebrity aspect of superheroes and the lengths those heroes will go through to keep their private life separate from their hero identity. Fortunately, Noble Causes from Image Comics examines that situation with a bit of mystery too boot.
