AGGROgator: A Dentist's Worst Nightmare

So your favorite blog-reading alligator and mine was a no-show last week. I apologize profusely. He was feeling sympathy pains with me and accompanied me to the dentist last week. Sadly, he handles pain a lot worse than I do (which is a lie, I scream like a little girl with a skinned knee) and bit off the dental hygienist's right hand. I still say she had it coming, but the courts didn't see it that way. So our AGGROgator friend will have to wear that fancy mouthpiece for a little while.

Luckily for us it doesn't prevent him from keeping a close watch on the blogosphere and making sure we don't miss the most important articles of the week. So without further ado, on to the show!

BAM! ... Let's start off this week by making up for lost time. We all love comics and there some times when we just can't fit reading them into our schedule. Well, we have on less time for that now. That annoying significant other wants to get all intimate while you just want to see Iron Man beat the crap out the Hulk? No problem! We've also got you covered if the Silver Surfer is more your cut. Or how about the Fantastic Four? (Please, no Mr. Fantastic jokes. We're above that here.) If low-brow humor is more your thing, don't worry - the Hulk has got it covered.

BAM! ... Joey Buttafuoco? Ike Turner? Pfft, they've got nothing on some of these gentlemen and rogues. Cracked.com brings us the six worst comic book husbands. You may be surprised at number one (Hint: It's NOT Hank Pym).

_____

BAM! ... God bless those geniuses in the marketing department. How else would we ever see a Batman rain poncho for a six year old or a Spider-Man fishing kit. Of course, none of these hold a candle to the ten strangest Hulk toys.

_____

BAM! ... Remember hearing about the Dan Taylor support book, Pulp Tales? Well, now you can hear some more about it! J.K. Parkin talks to Taylor himself over at the Newsarama blog.

_____

BAM! ... There's really nothing witty to say here because it's kind of sad, but check out Michael Sangiacomo's thoughts on Spider-Man and Brand New Day via Cleaveland.com.

_____

BAM! ... Want to know what the real world thinks of San Diego's Comic Con International? Sean Kleefeld has trio of links to NPR and their reporting on Nerd Prom.

_____

BAM! ... And finally, speaking of Comic Con International, did you get a peek at that nifty trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine? A lot of buzzed by pretty quickly, but iO9.com has a shot for shot analysis of the trailer. There are some characters I didn't see at all the first time.

Have a great weekend everyone!
