Apocadream D

I dreamt the other night that I was part of this literally underground operation – a huge subterranean complex employing tens of thousands of people. Unbeknownst to most of the employees they were all working towards the summoning from the pits of hell a great Godzilla-sized demon – and part of that summoning included their sacrifice. I spent most of my dream trying to find my way out of the maze of giant weird rooms as the infernal power built up at the core of the complex and began to ominously surge its way up.

Speaking of demons, I just found out that there’s a new Tenacious D DVD available.

Historyonics / Rhinosferatu Launch Party

OOPS – THE DATE IS WRONG. STANDBY FOR UPDATE.

Historyonics is the name of the comic anthology that the origin of Rhinosferatu is appearing. The books have been printed and the launch party is [DATE FORTHCOMING] at the Jem Gallery on Broadway at Main St. I’ll have my original artwork up on the walls in case you haven’t already seen them.

Red Tornado on TV!

No, it’s not a Red Tornado TV series, sadly, but there’s a new cartoon coming out called BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD which is described as:

Batman isn’t going at it alone this time! From Warner Bros. Animation comes the latest interpretation of the classic Batman franchise. Our caped crusader is teamed up with heroes from across the DC Universe, delivering nonstop action and adventure with a touch of comic relief. Blue Beetle, Green Arrow, Aquaman and countless others will get a chance to uphold justice alongside Batman. Though still based in Gotham, Batman will frequently find himself outside city limits, facing situations that are both unfamiliar and exhilarating. With formidable foes around every corner, Batman will still rely on his stealth, resourcefulness and limitless supply of cool gadgets to bring justice home.

Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network have issued an abbreviated list of characters that will be appearing on Batman: The Brave and The Bold. The list can be seen below.

Batman/Bruce Wayne
Aquaman
The Atom
Black Manta

Black Canary
Blue Beetle
Booster Gold
Bronze Tiger
Calendar Man
Cavalier
Clock King
Deadman
The Demon
Despero
Dr. Fate
Fire
Firestorm
The Flash
Gentleman Ghost
Gorilla Grodd
Green Arrow
Green Lantern Corp.
Guy Gardener
Jonah Hex
Huntress
Justice Society of America
Kamandi
Kanjar-Ro
Kite Man
Metamorpho
Ocean Master

Plastic Man
Red Tornado

Robin
Skeets
Sportsmaster
Adam Strange
Wildcat
Zebra Man

I’m a little worried about the character design. Also apparently, very light, not dark, aimed for younger kids.

Episode 1: “The Rise of the Blue Beetle!,” Batman and Blue Beetle team up to save an alien race from Kanjar Ro.
Episode 2: “Terror on Dinosaur Island!” Batman and Plastic Man thwart Gorilla Grodd’s plot to devolve humans into primates.
Episode 3: “Evil Under the Sea!” Batman aids Aquaman as Ocean Master and Black Manta team up to assassinate him.

We've moved!

Well, we finally moved everything. It took three days and 6 helpers but it’s done. Now we’re unpacking. You know you have too much stuff when you list free boxes on craigslist and even after two different parties come to take some away you still have a lot left. Maybe I’ll post some photos (and not just of empty boxes) when we unpack a little more. No date set yet on the housewarming party.

Hexmas Wish List

Christmas, a time for getting.

Now that Deanna made me get rid of all of my VHS tapes (she’s very cruel to me, at all times), this my Festival wish list, directed largely at her:

Home Movies: Season Four (1999)

Looney Tunes: Golden Collection, Vol. 6

All New Superfriends Hour Season 1 Volume 2

Ren & Stimpy – The Complete First and Second Seasons

Birdman and the Galaxy Trio: The Complete Series

Robot Chicken: Star Wars

Tom and Jerry: Spotlight Collection, Volume One (1946)

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996)

Phantom Museums: The Short Films of the Quay Brothers

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Vol. 2 (2000)

Aeon Flux: The Complete Animated Collection

The Hilarious House of Frightenstein: Vol. 1

The Life of Mammals, Vol. 1-4

Tenacious D Complete Masterworks 2

And if anyone is still reading, I happily accept used DVDs. In fact I’d rather you get them from a thrift store than from WalMart or Chapters (do they sell DVDs at Chapters? I don’t know I never go in there.)

Threadful

I’ve decided rather than put my clever T-shirt ideas on Dead Space God, which I don’t promote or update, I’m going to send them to Threadless where I have the chance of making a quick buck without doing any hard labour. My first idea “HASSLING SKATEBOARDERS IS NOT A CRIME” I submitted as a slogan entry and so far 67% like it.
