AGGROgator: Shoppers, Prepare To Buy Us Out Of Recession!
As the end of November draws near, those of us in America are celebrating our capitalist ways by partaking in what's known as Black Friday. One of the biggest shopping day of the year comes after the day we gorge ourselves with food as many businesses go into the black for the first time of the year.
Your favorite Goblin will be spending most of the day behind a register because fate is just that cruel to him. Waking up at 4:30 to sell overpriced and useless wares to a greedy public is not what Thanksgiving or Christmas is supposed to be about ... or is it?
Either way, it's approaching 8 PM on Thursday and my bedtime is in sight. How sad is that?! So without further ado, I shall turn the stage over to our gator friend and let him fill you in on some of the bits of news that managed to slip by you recently.
__________
BAM! ... Let's start off this week's show with some beautiful photography from one Mr. Jeff Bridges. Taken from the set of the Iron Man film, the photos are actually very well done and interesting.
_____
BAM! ... Not to forget this whole Black Friday debacle, ComicsDC takes a look at how different forms of advertisements have all used imagery inspired by comic books.
_____
BAM! ... Devin Faraci over at CHUD wonders if Batman is actually the laziest superhero around? In a world where Wolverine is in about 78 books a month and can simultaneously appear in New York, San Fransisco, Japan, outer space and the Astral Plane, the man may have a point.
_____
BAM! ... I may be a little late for Halloween, but that's no reason not to take a look at this list of some of the most frightening comic book characters of all time. Of course, BAM! KAPOW! uses a slightly more colorful term for the list.
_____
BAM! ... Speaking of BAM! KAPOW!, they've got the skinny on Cherry Lane signing a deal to handle the music for all of Marvel's properties. Think it isn't a big deal? Look at how many scores and soundtracks for comic book movies are out there.
_____
BAM! ... And finally, with a premise near and dear to this Bergen County sewer dweller, check out Newsarma's preview of Jersey Gods.
