These are some of the very best prints and paintings I’ve ever seen.  I want them all, all over my home and office.  Well, except the clown ones.  Please, please, PLEASE hit up the link below to James Hance’s site and order yourself some prints!

No, it’s true!

If you’ve never heard of The Green Hornet, you aren’t alone.  Though he’s one of the oldest masked heroes he’s never gotten much notoriety by recent generations.  While Batman has made numerous movies, Superman saved us many times, X-Men underwhelmed us, and Spiderman went into the cinematic crapper, Green Hornet has fallen by the wayside.  Even The Phantom (another title many youngsters have never heard of) at least got a short-lived cartoon show, a B-grade movie, and a Syfy miniseries.

The last time Green Hornet got a lot of attention, it was a TV show that ran with limited success in the USA.  Starring Van Williams in the title role, it also featured a little-known actor as his sidekick “Kato”.  The actor’s name was Bruce Lee, and this show would launch him into an all out rise to stardom.

UPDATE:  Marvel got to our source too.  It took them longer, but they got there.

Below is the leaked footage from Comic Con of the upcoming Thor movie.  I’m not a big fan of Thor but I was planning on seeing the film when it’s released next summer.  After seeing the footage though, I don’t know that I can wait that long.  Hurry and watch before it gets taken down.

Marvel got to all the uploads pretty fast. This is courtesy of io9.

Unfortunately, I was not able to attend San Diego Comic Con this year.  Or any previous year for that matter.  This is something that I hope to remedy sometime in the future but by then I’ll probably be in my forties and be called by guys in the comic book store Captain Sweatpants.  Or Captain Sweat Stains… I’m not sure which…

Anyways, being the geek that I am, I have been valiantly trying to catch up on all of the news that has been leaking out over the past week.  Last week I started hearing rumblings about Ryan Reynolds reciting the Green Lantern oath for a little kid but I just finally found some footage of it.  If it doesn’t put a smile on your face, then you have a heart of pure darkness.  I can only imagine the joy that this kid must have felt.  Of course, I’m a bit biased since I’m a Green Lantern fan and can’t hardly wait for the movie to come out.

For your enjoyment.

This isn’t exactly new, but it’s still awesome. It’s beyond awesome. It’s awesomesauce.

This poster (available in black or white) has 149 different science fiction characters on it in some form or another. They might be from TV, movies, comics, video games, whatever. All I know is I’ve spent the last hour going through each one and trying to identify them all. I want the door to my office covered with this poster!

For those unfamiliar with Tron (I actually know a few of them), this just looks like another run-of-the-mill movie trailer.  For those of us in know, however, this is something much more.  Much, much more.  Considering that the original Tron helped set the bar for all science fiction movies since, it’s good to know Disney can make its sequel just as mindblowing 28 years later!

With the release of Blizzard’s long-awaited StarCraft II just a few days away, they’ve released a jaw-dropping new trailer. Saying this game is going to be incredibly awesome would be the understatement of the year. Well, why are you still reading this? Push “Play!” now!

I’m still not sure what to think about the upcoming Star Wars game, The Old Republic, but the following trailer at least gives me the hope that it’s going to be a good thing.

You know what, LucasArts? Forget this game, ditch The Clone Wars show and The Force Unleashed… and make a movie like this trailer. I’d watch it.
