File Under: WTF?

This seems to be the Japanese version of the Elaine "full body dry heave" dance. Wow.

Marvel Comics Online (kills Marvel.com)

PCWorld reports that Marvel comics will be opening a digital archive of their older comics.

"Unlike a music-based service that lets you download content, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited is all online. "

Read the entire article here.

I went to Marvel.com to read some of the details, but during my arrival, the site was down. News big enough to crash the House of Ideas. Epic.

It's a Trap!

Heisei Democracy spies with their little eye...a trap!

They found that Max Factory is producing a Bridget pvc figure.

The details: 1/7 scale (22 cm tall) and 6,800 yen retail

Great Shades of She Hulk!

No Stereo for YOU! (Wii GH3 owners)

So digg has dugg (hur!) up some evidence that Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii is not in stereo. It comes out of both speakers, but both speakers are sending out that groovy mono sound. That's no good.

Also, Judy Nails has a giant pumpkin head.
Give me back my Pandora!

Another One Bites the Dust...(X-Men 205)

So, there's a preview for X-Men 205 up at ComicVine - part 5 of the Messiah Complex storyline and apparently someone dies. Will it be a Jean Grey "I'll be back" kind of death? Who knows. (probably) However - if they kill who I think they're going to kill, oh the joyous day I will have.
Dancing, I will do it.

Oh, and a redesigned Lady Deathstrike? Niiiiiice.

If Mr. Sinister is bringing back his old creations, tell him to bring back Madelyne Pryor again. It makes no sense, but what the hell - Goblyn Queen was cool.

New Life for Geneon Titles

ANN has a report about the possible future of Geneon titles.
You didn't think they'd never get picked up did you?
Fear not, Geneon fans - your anime fix will return soon.

I'm so excited about Miranda making her debut as an exorcist in the 7th volume of the D Gray Man manga. <3

Bad Ideas from House of M

While looking up something entirely different, I was in the Wikipedia entry for Rogue (X-Men) and found this little horrifying tidbit.

NOTE: In an interview post-House of M, writer Brian Michael Bendis revealed that he originally intended for Rogue to permanently absorb the powers of Genis-Vell and for her to become Marvel’s next cosmic powered character. However, the idea was nixed as the current writers and editors of the X-titles didn’t like taking Rogue in this direction, so Rogue only temporarily kept Marvel’s powers for the House of M series.

I don't know who was on the book that rejected that idea, but I'd like to buy them flowers and chocolates. Have Rogue floating around with Quasar, Silver Surfer and that lot? No, thank you.

Viz makes with the Live Action

Japanator reports that Viz has licensed a bunch of (rather good) live action movies based on anime. The titles are Lovely Complex, Honey & Clover, Nana & Nana 2. The odds of me seeing or owning these movies is quite high.

I wonder though, how long till the Love*Com anime gets licensed? It's already complete (and they usually don't bother waiting till the last eps have shown if a company is serious about licensing a series - I am looking at YOU, Wallflower.)
