J. Scott Campbell, the man who brought us Danger Girl, is back for the second round of sexy princesses for 2011.  The 2010 “Fairytale Fantasies” calendar was such a hit that Campbell decided to do one for next year.  Will this become a yearly calendar?  I hope so, but they might run out of fairytale princesses for the upcoming years. He’s already doing a second illustration of a character he did last year.

Last year’s calendar sold out, so make sure to get it before it’s gone.  You can purchase it at Amazon for $21.99.

Let’s take a look at some …

What if a very green Clark Kent lived in today’s world? Where would his journey take him, and what would eventually decide his fate to become Superman? This is the premise of J. Michael Straczynski’s Superman: Earth One.

From DC:

“This is a Superman for the 21st century. With SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE, Straczynski and Davis inject the folk tale and legend that is Superman’s origin with a modern, vital and forward-looking energy that makes for a refreshing, epic and challenging super-hero adventure. In SUPERMAN: EARTH ONE – the first original graphic novel retelling Superman’s origin — Clark Kent is …

What’s a kubrick you ask?  They’re little figures that looks like Legos.  They’re really popular in Japan and they’re starting to pick up steam in the U.S.  The figures are usually licensed by major franchises, in this case, it’s Batman!  They usually range from $7-$11 per figure.  What I love about this set is the different versions of Batman.  There’s one from Dark Knight, the comics, the Tim Burton movie and animated series.  There’s other characters as well, such as Joker and Superman. 

This boxed DC Comics 75th Anniversary Super Deluxe Kubricks Set of 10 mini figures includes (subject to change):…

Death from Sandman will make an appearrance in Action Comics #894.  Lex Luthor will encounter Death and the readers will get to see the mind of Superman’s arch nemesis.  I always enjoy stories that focus on the villains, as you see them more than just haters. 

The Sandman universe was created by critically acclaimed, Neil Gaiman (Mirror Mask).

The issue will also have a side story of Jimmy Olsen entertaining a Princess Alien.

Action Comics #894 will be released this Wednesday, 10/27/2010 for $3.99.  Damn, what happened to the days when it was only $1.25??…

In the latest issue of  ESPN’s magazine hitting news stands today, Kobe Bryant and the NBA’s biggest stars are portrayed as Marvel’s super heroes.  Just yesterday, we reported that Marvel was teaming up with Disney for Tron.  This time, it’s Marvel and ESPN.  Guess who owns both companies?  That’s right Disney.  It looks like Disney is really trying to market Marvel to everybody, including sports fans. 

Here’s the cover by done by Joe Quesada.  Sure, it looks good for the most part but the players don’t really their super hero alter ego.  Kevin Durant should be Spider-Man instead of Thor because …

Entertainment Earth is having a buy 1 get 1 half off statue deal so I checked out what goodies they had.  I found this Catwoman statue from the Japanese company, Kotobukiya.  Not only is it sexy, but checkout the base,  it’s Batman being stomped on. That’s pretty weird and cool at the same time.

The online store also has this Batgirl on sale, so you can get both for less than $100.  Totally good deal for 2 unique statues.  Make sure to get your order fast!  Some statues have already sold out.

If you don’t like one of them, you …

Marvel has released several comic covers that depicts the superheroes in the Tron universe.  What does Marvel have to do with Tron, you ask?  Well, Disney owns Tron and the sequel is coming out on December 17, 2010.  Disney also owns Marvel so that’s why Tron is being cross promoted with the comics.  I’m sure this is only the first partnership between the two companies.

Here’s Spider-Man looking like the 2099 counterpart.

Iron Man looking more like War Machine.

 
This one is my favorite because Ghost Rider has the Tron Cycle.  Well played!

 
The colorful Captain America.

This is a possiblity, however, the project is in the early stages at this point, and no details have been revealed. For now, we know one thing, Jeph Loeb will be involved in the project as he is part of the Marvel TV division.

The Hulk sounds interesting, and could work out. But, I am more interested in The Punisher, it is also one of the titles being considered by ABC.
