Wonder Woman TV Costume Design Revealed
EW.com have posted shots Adrianne Palicki in her Wonder Woman garb for the upcoming TV series. It’s different from her traditional comic book costume. And we all knew it would have to be, given how gravity and the actual human body work.
I was a big critic of DC’s Wonder Woman Redesign last year. Not because it was putting Wonder Woman in pants, but because it was stripping the character of her iconography and trading said iconography for an early-90s X-Men knock-off look.
If DC had submitted this as a redesign, I would have had zero complaints.

J.K. Simmons Still Clings to J. Jonah Jameson
J.K. Simmons has defined the media representation of Daily Bugle owner J. Jonah Jameson. As of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man, Simmons will pass the torch on to a new actor. However is he truly done with the role? Fans can rejoice as he will be the loud mouth newspaper editor we all know and love one more time.
Disney DX’s upcoming show Ultimate Spider-Man will include Simmons as his signature role. Hopefully debuting in Fall of this year, the show has already become a hot spot for comic book writers to get involved. The likes of Brian Michael Bendis, Paul Dini, Joe Kelly and many more will have ties to the show. It’s no shock that a great voice cast will be on par with it’s creative team!
Simmons was thrilled to be able to have the role back. Simmons says, “I don’t know when the show’s gonna be out, but yeah, J.J.J. lives on in my career at least (laughs) for a while with the new cartoon show, yeah.”
Personally, I’m very excited for this. I was a bit skeptical after the cancellation of the Sensational Spider-Man, but I must admit Ultimate Spider-Man has been shaping up to be interesting.

Check out Mark Sable’s Sucker Punch Short Animation
I’m still not quite sure on what I want to think of Zach Snyders new flick, but I do know that I am, and always have been a huge fan of Mark Sable (Rift Raiders, Teen Titans: Cold Case) who wrote a little animated feature taking place in the Sucker Punch world. It’s a pretty cool look and Kieth David’s voice makes everything worth watching.

Sideshow Brings out … OH MY GOD IT’S MOHAWK STORM!
Excuse me while I go crazy for a second. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Normally I’m not a fan of Sideshow but every once and a while they go and do something like this. I mean seriously, Mohawk Storm! This I can’t really think there was a ton of demand for out there and yet somehow, sideshow has come to the rescue and given me a statue of something I’ve always wanted. I mean really, this isn’t exactly something I saw coming. The statue was created by Jean St. Jean, Mirea Romo-Bowen, and based on the art of Jelena Djurdjevic.
It’s got a pretty nicely designed base, a good pose, stands 16.5 inches high, and will ship sometime in the fall. At $200 this statue is a steal, especially with recent price increases from a lot of the statue companies. You can get the exclusive edition now which comes with a print of the artwork the statue was based on or the regular edition for the same price. I’ve got my order in, how about you guys?
Help raise money for japan by bidding on a Secret Invasion Hardcover
Hey everyone. Pat here, and I need your help!
I’m trying to raise some cash to help the relief effort for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. To do so, I have decided to part ways with one of my prized possessions…a signed Secret Invasion trade paperback.
It’s not a book that’s just signed by writer Brian Michael Bendis (though his signature is about to become really hard to come by after this week’s C2E2), it is ALSO signed by the entire art team. This book has been signed by cover artist Gabrielle Dell’Otto from Italy, penciller Leinil Yu from the Phillippines, inker Mark Morales and colorist Laura Martin from the US.
The team did a group signing at the New York Comic-Con in 2009, and it was the first and only time they did a signing together.
If you’d like to get your hands on this book, all you need to do is follow this eBay link, and bid your heart out! Proceeds from this auction will be sent to the Red Cross to aid in relief efforts in Japan.
Thanks for checking us out, and please help spread the word!
Kotobukiya goes to eBay to raise money for Japan
Kotobukiya has done something quite admirable today. In order to raise more money for the Global Giving Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund they have begun auctioning off a series of comic book statues signed by people in the toy and comics industries. Included in the auctions going right now are 2 X-Force Woverine busts signed by the sculptor Junnosuke Abe. These were a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive and were limited to just 500. Also on the list are 2 of the San Diego exclusive White Phoenix Bishoujo statues, one of which is signed by Stan Lee. Rounding out the list is one of my favorite statues that I own, Deadpool, which is signed by Erick Sosa and Rob Liefeld. All of these are well worth owning and as a bonus, you get to support a great charity as they do important work in helping the people of Japan get through the recent tragedy. So head on over to eBay and if you can, drop down a bid for one of these fantastic pieces.

Lea Hernandez Brings Brings us the Magical Truthsaying Bastard Spidey
As a huge Metropolitan fan it’s hard to get more excited than I’ve been about the charity art book that’s being released thanks to a fantastic Kickstarter campaign. If you were on the fence after the first time we wrote about it, tell me this 2 page spread from Lea Hernandez doesn’t push you over. I don’t think I actually need to say anything to explain how awesome this page is. For the anime with the greatest troll ending of all time has been brought to the Transmetropolitan universe in an adorably crude and hilarious way. Seriously though, make sure when it comes available to grab this book and support awesome art and great charities in the Hero Initiative and Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
For those who weren’t able to Kickstart the project if you still want the book send an e-mail with your full name (first and last) to info@cbldf.org with the subject of “Transmet Art Book” and let them know you want it.
And while this piques your interest, go help Lea make rent by snagging fantastically affordable prints of her totally adorable seasonal bunny paintings. You know you want them.

Custom Marvel Legends Mockingbird is unfazed by skrulls, militant Russian nationalists
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it yet, but without a doubt, my favorite super team of all time is the West Coast Avengers. So naturally, I’m was tickled pink when Marvel’s Secret Invasion returned of my favorite Coasters, Bobbi “Mockingbird” Morse to the land of the living. Since then, Ms. Morse has not only been prominent in the Avengers books, but also in her own successful series of minis co-starring her ex-hubby Hawkeye.
As a figure geek and customizer, I’ve wanted a figure of Bobbi’s new look since I first saw it, but it took me actually getting commissioned by a friend for me to go to the bench and customize the former Mrs. Barton.
The recipe was relatively simple. A ML Sharon Carter provided the body and head, while the goggles came from a DC Universe Classics Catwoman. With some random figure fodder for the belt, sculpted guards, cuffs, collar, and a brand new paint job, Mockingbird was ready for a very happy owner. Check her out in the gallery below!

This week, we’re switching things up a bit. This week theme is all about swapping. Rule 63 is an “Internet” rule that some seem to adore. This leads to many instances where beautiful and interesting fanart surfaces. Jump under the cut to see some!
The Spidey Project Brings Spider-Man to the Musical Stage
Well at least Spider-Man will be getting one musical this year. On Monday March 14th people in the New York Area will be treated to a special one time only performance of a Spider-Man musical. Set to open one day before the official launch of the Broadway Spider-Man musical this one has the advantage of being completely free at the People’s Improv Theater. I guess the disadvantage is that going to this one you won’t have to see anyone get tangled in a wire trying to do an overly elaborate stunt. All in all it seems like a pretty fun idea and we may try to get in to support what seems like a pretty fun idea. Head on over to The Spidey Project website for more details and information on this one time show.
Skottie Young and Scott Morse Bring You SkottieScott
One of the things I love about being a small part of the comic industry is seeing what people do as part of a daily routine. Skottie Young and Scott Morse, like a lot of artists, open their day with warm-up sketching. Quick sketches just to get the head in the right place for a long day working on the stuff we all love so much. So when I saw Skottie tweet about his new blog they had set up where they are sharing these warm-up sketches, I had to check it out. Every day a different character and every day a sketch I can buy for a pretty damn reasonable price. The most interesting part about it though is the text that is accompanying the pieces as they talk about what they did, why they did it, and how long each step of the process takes. It’s an interesting look inside an artist’s day to day routine and I for one, find it fascinating. So do yourself a favor and head on over and check out SkottieScott, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you find.
