Odds ‘n Ends > Draego-Man and Kobra Khan Pics & Bio, S.H.MonsterArts Updates, DC Direct Dark Knight Rises figures

Mattel has posted pics and bios of Kobra Khan and Draego-Man on their Facebook page. Who’s the Great Black Wizard…? Scott also added this commentary: Draego-Man really filled out the package. The wings are detached as is the tail to fit inside the blister, but they all easily snap in. He comes with the flame on [...]

Odds ‘n Ends > Steve Jobs, Four Horsemen, & Reviews

Random news bits: a $100 12″ Steve Jobs figure (kinda creepy, possibly unlicensed), new Hot Toys Robocop figs, late-to-the-party Samurai Pizza Cats figure. There was also a list of possible G.I.

I agree with most of the comments from Bat-fans: Bruce Timm’s art style does not work [...]

Poe & the Four Horsemen: How It All Began

I’d intended to post this on July 3, which would have been the tenth anniversary of the day I received the email below–but then I completely, utterly forgot. Better late than never! I’ve saved every email I’ve sent and received since 1998. Until recently, most of them were just burned to a disc, but a [...]
