Earlier this year Spider-Man went up against his most deadly foe yet: the Retcon Monster! And it cost him his wife, Mary Jane. Their marriage was magically annulled by a deal with the Devil, retroactively erasing their 20 plus years together. But this week the Retcon Monster was defeated by its one weakness: a younger more powerful Retcon Monster. It turns out the past 6 months were just a dream!

After 65 years of two-timing Archie finally settles down with Veronica in 6-part special beginning in August (Archie #600). The Riverdale gang is all grown-up and entering the real world, so given the state of economy is it any wonder Archie picked an heiress like Veronica Lodge over Betty “I knit my own sweaters” Cooper . Naturally there’s been a lot of criticism over the choice, but you guys are

With the death of Batman the entire Bat-family has been rearranged. In order to compensate: Nightwing becomes Batman, Robin becomes Red Robin, Damian becomes Robin, and if the solicits are to be believed there will be a new Batgirl. We won’t know for sure until the series debuts in August, but so far all signs point to fan-favorite (that fan being moi) Barbara Gordon. Besides the revealing red lip smile,

First the villains usurped the Avengers’ name. Now they’ve done it again in Dark Reign: Young Avengers. But these imposters are nothing like the real thing. In addition to being extremely violent (killing criminals or worse), most of the team is racist! The most blatant of which is Big Zero, a super-sized white supremacist who uses epithets like whitebread & wigger (although it’s censored out). In her spare time she

Eminem meets the Punisher… ’nuff said right? Not even close. The fact that Marvel Comics is giving this away in their digital comics section (http://www.marvel.com/punisher_and_eminem) should tell you something: it sucks. This team-up could have been so awesome: Punisher goes after Eminem, a bawling Eminem explains his gangsta cred is all an act, Punisher lets him live but makes him promise to never rap again, Eminem goes country.

It seems tech support can turn on more than just your computer. An anonymous study of 2,000 British men and women found that when it comes to sex, IT workers get the job done. While other occupations such as sports & fitness workers reported having more “experience,” computer geeks were more open to using sex toys and more willing to put their partner’s needs first (most likely to get repeat

Plants vs. Zombies is billed as a game with “something for everyone” and it lives up to that promise. Initially I thought it was going to be a tactical role-playing game similar to Final Fantasy Tactics, but PopCap games has beautifully simplified that formula. For the bulk of the game you play as plants with the goal of keeping the zombies out of your owner’s house, although there is the

An article in this month’s issue of GQ magazine accuses Donald Rumsfeld of manipulating President Bush with his one weakness… words. But not just any words, scripture. Bush reportedly received daily intelligence briefings with cover sheets that featured Biblical quotes such as “It is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men,” which appeared above a photograph of Saddam Hussein. David Kuo, head

Controversy is nothing new for disgraced Gov. Rod Blagojevich, but he’s not responsible for this latest hairy situation. Dennis Fath, owner of Delta Laboratories Inc., woke up late one night with an epiphany: bottle Blago. “He does have a nice head of hair, and it would be funny to have something named after him because of his hair,” Fath said. The shampoo, which promises really big hair (and who doesn’t

The site’s been sorely lacking in updates ever since I started playing Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2. 170 hours later and I’m still not done! In an age when most games can be completed in under 20 hours with little replay value, Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 is either a refreshing change of pace or an obsessive compulsive’s worst nightmare. It’s a B-I-G upgrade from the first game with more of everything:

Do you find it difficult to “safely reach your bottom” in the shower? Well with the BodySnake (http://bodysnake.com) you too can have that ‘don’t smell’ smell! (video below) Unlike brushes, which require some degree of effort, BodySnake let’s you literally wrap yourself in your complacency. It also comes with a foot scrubber that sticks to the floor so you won’t have to bend over, which would no doubt increase said

It’s been a while since the last update, blame Dynasty Warriors: Gundam 2 (review soon), so here’s a treat for regulars who stuck around anyway  – the penultimate chapter of Smurfmen! (i.e., chapter 2) If you missed it the first time around Smurfmen is L7 World’s newest webcomic (http://l7world.com/webcomics). It’s like Watchmen but with Smurfs! Really had fun making this (especially panel 5), hope you like it
