Thor movie gets an AllFather!

Odin's beard! None other than Sir Anthony Hopkins has been cast as Odin, father of Thor and stepfather to Loki.
Just slap a beard on him!
I can't wait to see how this movie works out. I will keep you updated!

The Fates: They Laugh at Me

In a maddening twist of fate, the Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter TPB hits today and I STILL HAVEN'T READ ISSUE #3! Moving 2000 miles the month it comes out to a state with zero comic book stores will do that to you, as I am about 3 months behind on my comics. As you may guess, it is pretty difficult to maintain a comics blog with no new comics to read. I am currently taking steps to rectify this multitude of problems. So, if you haven't read Godhunter (like myself, to some extent) go get this trade and let the awesome wash over you.

It's good to see Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy, getting back to comics full time. Very excited for the Amazing Screw-on Head collection!

Never read Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead? You can read the first issue here for free, but be warned, once you do you'll want to go out and buy the rest. AMC is looking to make it into a series, which would be awesome.

Purchased Superman/Batman: Public Enemies DVD. It was quite good. Once again Bruce Timm and legendary voice director Andrea Romano deliver a great animated movie. It doesn't hurt that Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly reprise their roles as Batman and Superman respectively, which fans of the DCAU should be psyched about. (Which I am.) I cheaped out and bought the non-special edition DVD, and it really is bare of special features. Some very interesting cameo appearances, as well as Levarr Burton as Black Lightning, which is awesome.
