I Can't Make This Stuff Up






Arriving in comic shops in July! The colognes are just tie-ins for the STAR TREK film, you can only imagine the amount of crap that gets sold, like a bottle opener shaped like William Shatner's taint, ah, I mean the USS Enterprise. And there was a bazillion things that were WATCHMEN tie-ins. But the best and most brilliant of all, these one-shots based on Conan the Barbarian and Red Sonja. (An aside, Dynamite has been putting out a Red Sonja comic for several years, and it consistently outsells several DC and Marvel titles. My point here, really: I want to hook a gig with Dynamite.) The two comics are written by Larry Hama, who is not a hack in the least, so its not that gimmicky. But I'd think that that really isn't Michelle Obama gripping Barack's thigh. Though the outfit is nice. I even have to say that Red Sarah looks okay, what with her wearing chain mail underwear and all (and you think Bristol wasn't role-playing when she was fifteen?!?) I can see Hyperboria from my backyard!

Hum, I'd drink some red shirt beer if anyone made it.

Red Shirt beer'd be great: you could pick 'em off one by one, drinking their wet and intoxicating souls before you crush the empty outer shell....

Just don't touch the yellow can at the end!

OMG...these are too funny! I'd say that going for "red shirt" is NOT a good idea, considering the ramifications...
