I love comics, I love old comics and I really love a good 25 cent bin. I love the idea of going though the bin and discovering something really cool or something really bad.
As a child I used to beg my grandfather to take me to the swap meets and such so that I could look for comic books. I eventually found some books in the local library and the local used book store would have something good once in a while. The hunt for good comics at a fair price is often hard to find. I do not use ebay or any other means of getting my back issues, instead I try to find my books in back issue bins at my local comic shop or at cons.
I’ve picked up a few good books and quite a few runs of books that I have never read and that makes me a happy girl. This is a quick review of my haul from recent bin dive.
Lionsgate has released an image of the new Punisher: War Zone lenticular poster that should be showing up in theaters now. The gun frame mounts to the outside of the light box poster frame, so it should look more natural than it appears in the image.
Look for Punisher: War Zone in theaters on December 5, 2008.
Over on Kyle Baker’s blog, the artist has posted a few art samples for a new Hawkman series he is working on:
No title for the book yet that I know of. It’s not due for another six months. Anyway, enjoy the wallpaper! By the way, just for the fans, I’m making this story the bloodiest and most depressing story ever! Full of realism! HAWKMAN’S WORLD WILL BE CHANGED FOREVER! I’ve revealed too much. I can say no more.
This is the best DC news I’ve heard in a while. Hawkman is a favorite of mine and when his series was changed to Hawkgirl, I quickly dropped the title after a few issues. The drop in quality was horrible. The recent DC Hawkman Special wasn’t much better.
Goeff Johns perfectly redefined his origin in JSA years ago. It made sense. Why go and mess with that again? It’s frustrating.
So, I hope the Baker series (or limited series) doesn’t mess things up any more.

Similar to the promo art released yesterday, Marvel has released another image that looks like it will be linked to the Superhero Squad comic, cartoon or game.
This time, it’s all familiar faces with Dr. Doom, MODOK, Abomination, Juggernaut, Absorbing Man, Mole Man, Enchantress and Dormammu.
Enough with the teasing. Let’s hear the real news. What is it and when will we see it.
