I got the idea for a human bomb from an old issue of Detective Comics – this was before that blob one was dropped on Bludhaven!

In 1934 the MPAA voluntarily passed the Motion Picture Production Code, more generally known as the Hays Code, largely to avoid governmental regulation. The code prohibited certain plotlines and imagery from films and in publicity materials produced by the MPAA. Among others, there was to be no cleavage, no lace underthings, no drugs or drinking, no corpses, and no one shown getting away with a crime.

The Liberty Project was my earliest take on super-crooks redeeming themselves as heroes, inspired by the era of Avengers that featured Captain America and the what-us-villains-that-was-yesterday lineup of Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. The Thunderbolts were the third try.

K.W. Jeter's Infernal Devices: A Mad Victorian Fantasy launched the steampunk genre in 1987 (and Jeter also invented the term, in an interview.) Now Harper Collins' Angry Robot imprint's bringing it back into print, along with another Jeter Victorian classic.

First Look Studios and MySpace have debuted the first official trailer for the upcoming thriller Suicide Girls Must Die, which is exactly what it sounds like it would be. A bunch of sexy, mostly naked Suicide Girls retreat to a cabin in the woods for a weekend of photoshoots and jello shots, only to be interrupted by a mysterious rash of murder.
We Kill Monsters is a 6 issue mini series from Red5 and is available from Comixology with their app on the iPhone.
Written by Laura Harkcom & Christopher Leone, the story moves along at a fast pace, and for the most part is well paced. My only complaint is the final issue, which seems too rushed and too fast. This series could have happily been a 10 or 12 issue series.
The art is fun, Brian Churilla does a passable job with some fun scenes and some interesting variations on the monsters!
This is a fun series and worth a read – I just wish there was more to it.
Theater Hopper is a web comic about movies written from the fan’s perspective. It is semi-autobiographical, combining characters based on real people with a supporting cast of fictitious creations.
Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, these characters satirically address what is current in the world of movies and celebrity culture as they have since August 5, 2002.
Theater Hopper is one of the few comics that I have to manual read, as it has no RSS that I can find!
Even so I still manage to read and smile at the most recent comics. The one above is a very good example of the type of humour included.
Reading from the beginning of this comic, you can see the evolution of the style and the humour as it progresses!
I would recommend this comic- good fun and easy to pick up. You don’t need to know the characters to know their feelings on movies.

And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.

Jamie sez, "Denver artist Jonathan Alberico has created two fully functional steam punk guns. Black Betty, a dual barrel pistol uses flash paper to shoot fire balls. Doris is a beastly air cannon that fires bouncey ball at high enough speeds to rip through boxes and even bounce back and catch the videographer in the hip! Both pieces have corresponding youtube clips of them in action."
