So That's Why There Was a Redesign...

When the Wonder Woman comic book series turned 600 and Diana got a new costume, I turned to Jim and told him that it must be because of a movie or television show. He agreed, we both got a giggle, and forgot about it. Yesterday, photos surfaced of actress Adrianne Palicki dressed in the new version with a few twists.

Yet again, the internet goes wild with controversy. LOL.

I am the first to admit that because of my age, I am prone to always think of Lynda Carter as "my" Wonder Woman. That being said, I am going to give the television series a chance. I want to support the character and see where the show goes.

I am not thrilled with how shiny and powder blue colored the pants are, and I am praying her sense of Wonder Gravity keeps her bosom in check. I also want to know where the jacket is. The boots have heels and the top doesn't have the straps that the comic book character has, but otherwise it pretty much looks like Jim Lee's sketch.

Now given validation that my offhand comment about the costume was on the money, I am fascinated to see how much of this series takes cues from the comic book versus using creative license not seen in the printed material.

Much like the rest of the geek world, I will be watching and waiting. :)

Follow the Yellow Brick Road...

This year's Emerald City Comicon is this weekend- Friday through Sunday, March 4 to 6. For those of you close enough to attend, make sure and head to Seattle and check it out.

Cool gift idea: pick up a copy of this awesome Transformers collectible print for $10 at the Sequential Treasures Comic Art Sales booth. Drawn as a jam piece by Randy "Rantz" Kintz and Ben Hansen, this piece just blows me away. The gorgeous colors by Eddy Swan give it a gorgeous finish that can't be beat.

As a personal highlight, the stars of the Boondock Saints movies will be at the show and there will be a panel in their honor Friday night at 7 p.m.

Head over to the ECCC site and take a look. Lots of good stuff to be had at the best comic book show in the Northwest!!

THIS IS MY BLOG, DAMMIT!!

I had to get on here to let you know that I am back taking possession of my blog. Many months and thousands of air miles later, I dusted off the blog and took a spin around. I won't be posting daily- God knows that didn't work before- but I wanted to have the occasional say in things and this is the place to do it.

I spend around $20-30 a month on comics so I don't get to read very many titles. I also haven't had a chance to read the news sites, other than finding out that Dwayne McDuffie has passed away and being exremely saddened and dismayed. May he rest in peace.

Since last August I have logged over 40,000 air miles and traveled to several places around the United States. It is interesting how few of those places have comic book shops. My goal is to try and find some shops when I hit the road again in a few weeks.

If I can't afford to spend the money on comics, at least I can talk about trying to find them on the road. LOL.

Now let's see if I can control the spam around here....
