Originally, I planned on posting before the 9:00 PM broadcast of the The Triple Feature talkcast this evening. But for some reason, the site was slow earlier and wouldn’t let me log in to the content editor. So instead of telling you to listen to the live show, I’m telling you to visit TalkShoe.com and download it. I think Joe, Gordon and I had a very good broadcast. Much stronger than last week. This week we went in with a plan. We discussed Dan in Real Life, Lars and The Real Girl, the recent box office success of Saw IV and much more. Including the revelation that Dumbledore is gay and this bad boy from the forthcoming Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem…

Man, I can’t wait for that movie to come out.

Quick note: You’ll want to be sure and listen to next week’s show live if possible. I have one copy of Michael Moore’s Sicko to give away. The movie hits stores on DVD November 6.

I am remiss that I did not inform my local readers that I would be attending the Iowa Mini-Con comic book convention at the Iowa State Fairgrounds last week. It was a major faux paus on my part. My apologies to the show organizers for failing to help promote. This was the first year for the Mini-Con. I’m sure they could have used the boost – however small.

I’ve only been to two Iowa shows, but these guys also put on the FallCon shows up in Minneapolis and they always do a great job of taking care of the artists. I had a great time talking with the fans, so thanks to those of you who said “Hi.”

I just wanted to take a moment to share this sketch I did on the cover of Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America. In case you’re not a huge comic nerd, Marvel killed off Captain America a few months back and they did this retrospective mini-series that captured the reaction of the Marvel Universe to his assassination. Anyway, along with tradtional covers with their own artwork, Marvel produced these sketch covers for fans so they could take their comics to their favorite artists at conventions and get their take on this status-quo flipping “event”.

And someone gave me theirs.

I don’t know why, but this is what I came up with…

I took the picture with my camera phone so that’s why it’s a little fuzzy.

This is probably an instance of me thinking that I’m more clever than I actually am. But whenever I saw Cap’s shield, I always thought it looked like a dish for sledding and this was the result. I guess I just like the spirit of the piece and thought you might get a kick out of it.

Last thing I’ll mention – I recently received a nice bit of fan work from one George Mackay, the creator of Eejits. George has done some advertising with us in days gone by, so we consider him a friend of the site. He sent his fan art completely unsolicited and I liked it a lot…

I’m not sure why I’m not wearing any pants, but I’ll assume that’s just cheeky British humor.

If you’ve never been to Eejits before, check it out. George updates the site each day with a new, weird looking critter. I’ve always enjoyed George’s art. It’s simple and almost child-like in design, but expertly executed in coloring and shading. A fun little diversion.

Lot of images in this post! Hmm! Hope you liked it! I’ll catch up with you again soon. Have a good day!
