So, in Archie #600, Archie Andrews proposes to Veronica Lodge. Let me analyze the cover for you, if you don’t mind.

archie marries veronica: the proposal

First, let’s take a look at Veronica. She’s her usual elegant and sophisticated self, totally bitchin’. I’d want to marry her too if she wasn’t fictional.

It’s the End for Captain Britain and MI-13

captain britain and mi-13

Another awesome monthly book bites the dust. This is a sad day for me. I’ve been enjoying Captain Britain and MI-13 since it launched in the middle of Secret Invasion and I feel it’s being taken from us way too soon. I just can’t believe they’re going to cancel a book where Dr. Doom helps Dracula with his plan to invade Britain. Vampires invade the UK, you guys! Sigh. It’s a sad, sad day indeed.

Solomon Stone Unleashed!

My favorite comic blogger slash Internet hooligan Chris Sims, along with Matthew Allen Smith and Benjamin Birdie, has unleashed The Chronicles of Solomon Stone upon us and, well, I can’t find the words to describe how CRAZY AWESOME it is. I’ll let this one panel do the talking:

The All-New, All-Deadly Dark X-Men

dark x-men

First thing that came to mind was “Great. Another X-Team.” After a few nanoseconds, I was like “Jesus, this is awesome.”

The upcoming crossover between Dark Avengers and Uncanny X-Men will introduce a new team put together by Norman Osborn and led by Emma Frost. The team is a little strange for an X-Team. We have Angel who is currently running with X-Force and is one of the original X-Men.  He and Frost are the only real X-Men in this bunch. Everybody else wearing the “X” gives me that old “Well, that’s weird” feeling.

Wrestlemania 25 Predictions

wrestlemania 25

Chris Jericho vs. “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat and Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka: With Ric Flair in the Legends’ corner, you’d think the cards will be stacked against Jericho. But we have to remember that even though there are four of them, the Legends are geriatric shadows of their former selves. Then again, it’s not always about how good and fit you are in the WWE. Steamboat is being inducted into the Hall of Fame this year and it will be a damn shame if he’ll lose a match at Wrestlemania. Also, I have a feeling that Mickey Rourke will be involved in one way or another.

WINNERS: WWE Legends

25-Diva Battle Royal for title of “Miss Wrestlemania”: 25 WWE Divas, including the old ones, will battle it out to earn the title of the very first Miss Wrestlemania. Boobs galore, this one.

WINNER: My Penis
