Aquaman Busts

DC is determined to break my bank in October... they're not only releasing a bust of Aquaman by Carlos Pacheo, but they're also releasing a Mera bust by Terry Dodson! Need proof? Just check out how awesome these look!


I can't wait to add them to my collection!

Seal Cove Dolphin Update

Here's an update the story I linked to yesterday.

While it's true the trapped dolphins fates never be known, but at least they did something. Isn't rendering assistance to any creature in distress one of those qualities that make us uniquely human?

A Job For Aquaman

This news story saddens me. I feel for the children who might get upset, but in the end, the expert in whale rescues says this is 'natural morality' for this particular species of dolphin. That may be true, but it also means I would feel compelled to help the dolphins if I lived in that town. The fact that you can hear the dolphin's distress would be more than enough to convince me to help in some way.

During DC Comics' Final Night event the world was cooling down because our sun's energy was being consumed by a creature called (appropriately enough) a sun-eater. During this cooling, the earth's oceans to begin to freeze over. Aquaman had a series at the time and in the obligatory DC Comics Event® crossover, Aquaman realized he couldn't save every mammal in the oceans as he was racing to save the one dolphin that was like a mother to him. I won't spoil what happens, other than to say it's a great story.

Too bad it's only serialized fiction.

Big Game TV Spot

A new Star Trek commercial aired yesterday. It's available on the Official site and it's called Big Game TV Spot! Go take a look!

We get to see a cool cityscape and an attack on Earth. This one has more Kirk but also features McCoy (we finally get to hear Karl Urban speak) and features the Enterprise in battle. I think the ad will appeal to a wider audience than just Trekkies, but then it has to be when you're paying millions of dollars for a 30 second ad.

Looks very good and May 8th is getting closer every day!!
