The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-27-08
A huge week of releases this week, with enough quality to make my selection process a bit on the difficult side. With books ranging from the craziness/high-concept of Morrison’s 3-D Final Crisis: Superman Beyond to the release (again) of all three Avengers books in one week, to very good issues of Daredevil, Thunderbolts and DC [...]
The Project Silence Podcast 31: Warner Bros. is not Super, Man.

The Ettatorial for the Week of 8-20-08
A very nice week of releases this week, highlighted by my pick of the week. While there were quite a few books purchased, only one really rose to the top. A few came real close, Brave and the Bold and Captain America being two, but I decided to just go with one book this week. [...]

[youtube]QQlzX7EyIwU[/youtube] I don’t normally post silly unboxing videos, even though most of my Geek friends seem to enjoy them, I don’t.

I’m baaaaack. As most readers of the Ettatorial noticed, there was wasn’t one last week. The reason being, my wife and welcomed our first child (a daughter) into the world on August 6. A most amazing day, and comics were far from a priority. So while I did actually manage to get comics thanks to [...]
Devo Sells Out to the Man
In a shocking move, the original Radiohead (*), Devo, along with fellow 80′s supergroup Duran Duran and The Janitors are joining the illustrious ranks of bands included in Rock Band. I have to say I really didn’t see this one coming and if you’re going to include Devo, where the hell is Whip It? And [...]
It Was Just A Bit Tire-d
Check out this amazing auto racing, “accident”. I guaranty you have seen nothing like it before.
The Ettatorial for the Week of 7-30-08
In what has to have been the smallest week of releases ever for me, and with neither of the books I purchased being up to being classified as a pick of the week material, I had to think of an alternative. This week the Ettatorial is going to rely on the tried and true method [...]
Can I Still Consider Rock Band Cool?
