'Ello, 'Ello, 'Ello For those of you who checked out Craig "Hero to the Indy Comics" Reade's website yesterday after his 50th edition celebration here, this isn't going to be new news for you. But for those of you without the foresight to do so, I have an announcement to make. Craig Reade now owns my soul.* That's right, in exchange for a surly organ grinder and some web space, he's allowing me, my little column/zine, and all of the crap that comes with me stay around his site. You can find my little corner of reality he-yah. Visit several times a day, just based on the general purpose of it. Now, with that out of the way, let's get things cranking with this week's Toasted! And as always... Stay lightly toasted! -b. *Although I didn't actually sell my soul to Craig, I'm sure he's figured out a way to take it from me... that little bugger. Toasted!News Boxers Broadcasting across the world from Studio 8¼ in Nanuktuk Center, it's Toasted News Boxers, with brandon schatz, and Amy Johnson. Amy:In Marvel news (surprise!), Brian Michael Bendis will be taking over Avengers in July for a short run of 3 or four issues before closing up shop on the super group. Also announced, writers John Jackson Miller, Dan Jurgens and Robert Morales will be leaving Iron Man, Thor and Captain America respectively in June (or reasonably close to), and Hawkeye #8 will be the last for the title. Apparently things are being cleared for a massive Marvel relaunch that will clear the house on all of the old and bring in a New Era for the 37th time since Joe Quesada took the reins of Marvel. brandon: In "this kind of stuff apparently only excites brandon because he's moody like a teenaged girl... not that he is one" news, Sean McKeever will be writing a new ongoing "Mary Jane" title for the Marvel Age imprint at Marvel. Amy: You are a girl. In decent comic book news, Brian K. Vaughan will be writing a Wildstorm title called Ex Machina, which is supposed to have a storyline along the lines of the movie "Unbreakable", where a real world person discovers the fact that he has superpowers and is neigh invulnerable, and he sets out to save the world. brandon: Also coming in June, is the long awaited Sleeper Season Two, as well as the second trade paperback, which will finish the collecting of the first Season. Now even though she doesn't know it, Reviews Editor Andrea Speed talked me into getting the first trade (should be coming in two weeks) and pre-ordering the second one, as well as the second season, so if she's wrong about how good this series is, I'll slap her around*, as I don't really buy anything from DC. Amy: Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me... brandon And that's the way we saw this week. For all of us here at Toasted!News Boxers, I'm brandon schatz saying for the last time. No matter what Darren Jess, or Amy Johnson tell you, I am not a girl. Amy:*coughs* Are too. *Editor's Note - If Brandon were to attempt to slap Andrea Speed around, she'd most likely feed him to her "at-the-ready" pack of ravenous cumquats. end? No excuses for the shorthand version this week. But hey, next week, come back here and check out the spectacular "#10" issue of this edition of Toasted!, which will feature newly appointed Assistant Columns Editor Blake Petit in his underoos. Oh, and he'll be fighting pirates. Supposedly. Plus, the grand Toasted! premiere of Ronée (ooooohhh!), and a whole bunch of grand fun. It’s all part of the grotesque adventure that will be "The comiXtreme Post-Christmas, Early-Easter Pageant of Things That Will Scar You Forever". And yes, this is already written and typed up and I could've included it this week, buuuttt... everyone else was having some sort of crazy landmark event for their columns. I was feeling left out. So until next week... -Stay lightly toasted! The opinions expressed in the preceeding are that of brandon schatz, and brandon schatz only. Yes, even those of Amy Johnson (psst... she's not real). If you were to blame anyone for the scarring you've suffered from reading the preceding, it's him. Mmkay? Great. |
