Something I found on YouTube (I swear to God, it’s like a gold mine under a solid waste landfill) that pays tribute to the fearsome lord of Latveria, DR. DOOM!
Next time on Face Rockery: REAL CONTENT! YAY!
With the passing of comic book creator Mike Wieringo, I thought it would be appropriate to dedicate this week’s Midweek Showcase to him by featuring my favorite Wieringo artwork: an image of Dr. Doom…
You can find all sorts of rubbish and, sometimes, brilliance in this so-called “blogosphere”. Soon, the whole world’s existence will be dictated by the voices of the “Internet”. And the world shall tremble in fear, for I, Victor Von Doom, shall start my conquest of the world by taking over this blasted blogosphere!
My plans have already been set in motion. BEHOLD! The emerging blogosphere… of DOOM!
After reading an article on Double Viking about Extreme Fanboyism, I wondered what level of fanboyism I’m on, in terms of comic books. Am I just a casual fan or a ridiculously extreme fanboy? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s making a stupid list of things that determine how much of a fanboy I am:
- I have a pull list. My local comic shop (LCS) probably enjoys how I constantly update my pull list every week since it becomes easier for them to sell me comics. The pull list also gives me the perk of getting the variant covers I want. And since they set aside my copies of their new comics once they get delivered, I’m assured my comics haven’t been touched by more than one person and are in very good condition.
- I blog about comics and related pop culture stuff 5 times a week.
- I reserve my Thursday nights for getting my comics from my LCS and reading them. Thursday night is comics night, beer and friends be damned.
- First news articles I read everyday are about comics. I have no freaking idea what’s going on in world politics and current events. I can probably name more X-Men characters than Philippine politicians.
- I don’t like watching comic book movies in the theaters because I don’t want to beat up non-fanboys every time they utter the names of every freakin’ character they recognize on the screen. Idiots.
- When a seriously big typhoon hit and our house was flooded, I saved my comics first before anything else. This is why I don’t have a pet.
- I read comics even during blackouts.
- A date usually involves dinner, a movie, several bottles of beer, and a trip to my LCS. The clerks at my LCS probably know more about my dating life than my friends.
- Speaking of the clerks at my LCS, our relationship involves text messaging each other about the schedule of new comics delivery.
- I spend more money on comics than on clothes, cellphone load, and food combined. I practically work so I can buy comics.
- Sometimes, I talk like Dr. Doom.
Hello! How you doin’? I’m Baddie, but people outside the Intarnatz call me Gino Carteciano. I am a web programmer/designer/developer/asshole who has an unhealthy passion for the graphic fiction medium.
This blog, Face Rockery, shall contain said passion. Comic book news, reviews, and everything else connected to the lovely medium shall rock your face via this blog. I’ll also throw in some pop culture crap once in a while for the full geek effect.
I’ve already started laying my comic book geek crap on the blogosphere through my Baddieverse blog. And because I don’t have enough stuff to offer you on this face-rocking blog yet, I’ll just give you some links to my Baddieverse geekery for now:
This is where Baddie blogs about comics, pop culture, and other face-rocking things. Also, this is where Dr. Doom shares some of his infinite wisdom, but only when he feels generous. You will only bear witness to Doom's brilliance when Doom commands it! Your face, Baddie and Doom are rocking it!
