Helping Out A Buddy

A friend of mine asked me not too long ago, since she's just been introduced to US comics, what Marvel's Civil War was. This is what I told her:

Marvel's Civil War in 10 minutes:

Tony: Hey Guys! Congress wants to pass laws against Supers! We need to get in on this shit so we can have a word in!

Prof. X: ...You know, we dealt with this shit before. It was called House of M. I got a school to run. Peace out.

Black Panther: Fuck Yo shit. I'm going back to Africa, foo's. *noms fried chicken and watermelon*

Namor: I hate all you humans. I'm just here to stare at Sue Storm's ass.

Strange: Oh Christ. This bull shit again. *sighs*...Where the hell is my tea?!

Everybody Else: OH SHIT! WHAT WE GONNA DO!?

~FFWRD~

Stamford, CT: *KA-BOOOM*

~FFWRD TO PASSING OF SHRA:~

Tony: SEE! I TOLD YOU GUYS THIS WOULD HAPPEN! CUZ I'M A FUTURIST!

Namor: Fuck this shit. I'm going to Atlantis.

Tony & Namor: *fight*

Strange: *breaks up fight with Namor and Tony* Don't call me again, Science Fag. *teleports off*

Reed Richards: D'OH!

~Meanwhile.... ~

Steve: *finds out about SHRA* FUCK THIS SHIT!

SHIELD: *tries to arrest Cap*

Steve: *fucks up SHIELD's shit*

Steve: Tony! WTF! We have to fight the man!

Tony: What? We have to Register! We shouldn't fight about this. It'll be good for the kids!

Steve: *GASP* HOW COULD YOU! YOU BITCH!

Tony & Steve: *slap fight for another 7 issues*

Steve: *Nearly takes off Tony's head with shield*

Crowd of People: NO CAP! STOP THE FIGHTING! *tackle pounce*

Steve: *SIGHS* I guess I'll stop fighting... *is arrested*

~FFWRD TO Arraignment Trial~

Steve: *Is shot*

... And I think that sums up everything pretty well.

More tid bits

My inner Nintendo Fan Girl can't help but find this anything short of being the best thing ever, but my inner lover of history is a bit confused.

'Game Over'

Not to mention, I would LOVE to own one of these. I like working on the floor and this seems extremely practical. Pity it's not an actual product yet.

The Land Peel

Sumbling Over Things...

I Don't Need Your Civil War

Re-found this again, too. Rereading back through it, and I've been in stitches.

Just a Little Something...

Rediscovered this a couple nights ago, and just couldn't help but share it.

Avengers Avenged - SuperFunAdventureTime!

How Time Flies

Wow, it's already February 2010! Things have been rolling right along, haven't they? Of course, this month, being Black History Month, you get wonderful events like the opening of the International Civil Rights Museum here in Greensboro, NC. After so many years of waiting to see the doors open, it's great to finally see that dream come true. I remember when they first announced it, I talked with News and Record, the city paper, about what I thought about such a place opening here in the city. Sadly I couldn't be there for the grand opening on February 1, but I did watch it live on TV.

However, many things have happened to lead up to this month, obviously. After all, February doesn't just call out of the sky. The end of last year I was caught up in a whirlwind of activity preparing for Ichiban Con. I had an amazing time and met some equally amazing people. However, it was still a lot of hard work just the same. Though I didn't make an amazing profit at the con, the experience of going to my first con as an artist and not just another con attendee was something I'll always treasure.

Sadly, after IchibanCon, I came down with a sinus infection, and that put me out of commission for a good week or so. After winding back into gear from that, I've been an art-producing machine. Plus, we got 2 nice snow falls: a couple inches just after my birthday and one really huge batch of snow last Friday which of course makes Winter all the more special for me despite my horrible distaste for the cold. Those of you that have been following me on Deviant Art or through my web site itself have probably noticed I posted several times the usual amount of art last night. Things have been rocking around here, and I don't plan to stop the party any time soon.

Though, it's in May, I have Animazement to look forward. So far it doesn't look like I'll have an artist table after all, but I'll certainly have several awesome pieces in the art show. I only ever like posting originals in art shows, so that'll be a blast for whomever gets them.

In the meantime, BioShock 2 is coming out next Wednesday night, and the Game Stop up the street from my house is hosting a midnight release party. I got the Limited Edition copy of the game, and I can hardly wait. I'll try to keep you posted on everything then. I'm off to continue replaying through BioShock and get some more artwork done.

Final Count Down

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything, but I've been working to get back into the swing of thing.

Posted new art and photography on my DA and actually gotten some new pictures started. My mom and I are chilling, watching Batman: The Animated Series together and working on work. Ain't life grand.

Still no major job changes, still no bartending gigs. However, next weekend, I'm going to be having my first artist alley table at IchibanCon in Concord, NC. Saying I'm not nervous would be a flat out lie. However, that doesn't make me any less excited about the whole thing.

Here's hoping for a great start straight out of the gate!
