Oh Wow: Meg From Family Guy In Real Life

Oh Wow: Meg From Family Guy In Real Life: "

Ever wonder what Meg from Family Guy would look like in real life? Well now you know. And probably wish you didn't. Too late suckers -- have fun dreaming about her!

Real Life Meg [filmdrunk]

Thanks to Stephen and cocoa, who both party like Brian. Except Stephen, he's a lightweight."

Five to Pull / One to Pass: March 24: "

Amazing Spider-Man #626

Creative team: Story by Fred Van Lente; Art by Micahel Gaydos

Villain to Watch: The new Scorpion

They say: Hiya, Retailers, Fred Van Lente here to tell you we could never let 'The Gauntlet' get by without the return of another classic Spider-Man foe...The Scorpion! She has brand new powers, a new modus operandi, and you won't believe her reason for tangling with Spidey-- Hm, what? Yes, we said 'she.' Why? Who did you think we meant?

I say: I was starting to wane on this series until last week, when the phenomenal handling of the Rhino subplot roped me right back in. I have to admit that I'm not exactly thunderstruck with the idea of 'reinventing the character with a gender-switch' thing, but last week's issue bought a considerable amount of leeway from me. Besides, this series has been rock-solid.

Green Lantern #52

Creative team: Story by Geoff Johns; Art by Doug Mahnke

Villain to Watch: Sinestro... The White Lantern(!)

They say: Blackest Night's penultimate chapter is here, and you do not want to miss this issue. Trust us on this one.

I say: ''Blackest Night's' penultimate chapter?' I'm so in. Not because this has been the best blockbuster arc between the two major publishers, mind you (because I really do think 'Dark Reign' has been the far superior series). But I've invested so much in this series simply through reading DC's line that I'm desperate to see where everything finishes up.

Mighty Avengers #35

Creative team: Story by Dan Slott; Art by Khoi Pham

Villain to Watch: Ultron

They say: The Avengers' greatest threat returns! And he's not alone... A rag-tag team of Mighty Avengers are thrust onto the front lines of Seige...with no one to lead them! And where's Hankl Pym? Trapped in Pym-Space with his greatest enemy, his sinister cybernetic 'son', Ultron! A war on two fronts, a team divided, and when it's over...not everyone will be coming back! Big threats, big changes, and the biggest Avengers surprise of them all revealed!

I say: I think I'm still going to prefer Frank Cho's version of Ultron, but this appearance has been teased out for the past few issues. It's time to get on with it. Besides that, this series' development of Hank Pym as the Earth's 'Scientist Supreme' has made the title itself one to watch.

Power Girl #10

Creative team: Story by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray; Art by Amanda Conner

Villain to Watch: Satanna

They say: Power Girl squares off against Satanna and her Animal Army just as Terra enters the fray!

This should be a good thing, but somehow it looks like Power Girl's got a new enemy!

I say: This and 'Amazing Spider-Man' are the only consistent performers on the shelves outside of the 'Dark Reign' and 'Blackest Night' events.

The Satanna storyline has been an extremely fun read, so there's no reason to jump off the train now.

Thunderbolts #142

Creative team: Story by Jeff Parker; Art by Wellington Alves

Villain to Watch: Ghost

They say: As the Mighty Avengers clash with the Thunderbolts in the Siege of Asgard, surprises abound. What are everyone's true motivations, and when push comes to punch, where do their loyalties lie? Will this most twisted version of the team produce any heroes - or will the Thunderbolts' tradition of redemption get stomped into the muddy battlefield that is The Siege?

I say: Speaking of series on the wane (and I hate to admit it) 'Thunderbolts' is starting to slow down a little bit for me. As with a couple other titles, though, I'm hanging with it based on past performance. This ish shows some potential, so it stays on the List for a while longer.

Honorable mentions:
Avengers Initiative #34, Deadpool #21, Fall of the Hulks Red Hulk #3, ZZZZZZZZZ, Justice League Rise of Arsenal #1, New Avengers #63.

...And One To Pass

Deadpool Corps Rank and Foul #1

Creative team: Story by Jeff Christiansen and others; Art by Gus Vazquez and others

Villain to Watch: Dr. Bong

They say: In the Marvel Universe Handbook style, this one-shot has everything you need to make sense of Deadpool! (Is that even possible?) In this issue, there are more all-new profiles than 'Pool has voices in his head -- from 'allies' (Outlaw, Weasel, Zombie Deadpool), to enemies (Ajax, Dr. Bong, Madcap), to the hotties (Dr. Betty, Blind Al, Big Bertha) and the sheer awesomeness of the Sack! How could you pass this up? You know at least one of your personalities will love it! Featuring NEW ART for dozens of characters! More fun than a barrel of gun-wielding monkeys!

I say: It's official. They've milked the Deadpool thing dry. It was a nice few months, though.

Dishonorable mentions:
Female Force Michelle Obama Year One #1, Prelude to Deadpool Corps #4.

Japoneses instalarán otra estatua gigante de un Gundam

Japoneses instalarán otra estatua gigante de un Gundam: "

gundam espada

Los chicos de la ciudad de Shizouka (Japón) no quedaron para nada contentos con los chicos del distrito de Odaiba en Tokio, por que como ya sabemos, éstos últimos construyeron una enorme estatua de un Gundam RX-78 como forma de conmemoración de los 30 años del lanzamiento de la serie Mobile Suit Gundam.

Es así que en Shizouka han anunciado que construirán otra estatua, que aunque será más pequeña, sólo 18 metros, dos menos que su predecesora, pero destacará por disponer de una gran espada láser y se encontrará ubicada a la salida de la estación de trenes Higashi-Shizuoka, por lo que se estima que tenga cerca de 900 mil visitantes cada 300 días; creando cerca de 9.600 empleos ente construcción, seguridad y mantención.

Además de encantar a los fanáticos de la serie desde el mes de julio, cuando sea inaugurada.

Se disfraza de Stormtrooper de Star Wars para conseguir el trabajo de sus sueños... ¡y lo consigue!: "

Chris Bartlett es un artista y diseñador gráfico que trabaja en Epic Games desde 2005. ¿Como consiguió adelantar a los otros 200 artistas que optaban al puesto? Se disfrazó de Stormtrooper, y entró en las oficinas de la empresa, arriesgándose a que le echaran e incluso un arresto (recordemos el pedazo de arma que llevan los Stormtroopers xD). Una forma épica de conseguir trabajo... y una gran aventura.

Los pokémon del mundo real…

Los pokémon del mundo real…: "

O más bien habría que decir “los Pokémon del Photoshop“, porque el sistema para todos ellos ha sido basarse en imágenes reales y añadirle una serie de detalles para darles apariencia de un determinado Pokémon, como el Growlithe de arriba. Los que a continuación tenéis forman parte de una selección realizada por la web Unreality… pero quién sabe, quizás algún día os encontréis alguno por el monte. Llevad pokeballs por si acaso.
