Unfortunately, it’s not only very manned…but also brimming with gamma radiation!

Deadpool’s buddy, Weasel, has been kidnapped by the nefarious Taskmaster! But is this a grand trap for our hero or a super-villanous job offer? Only the army of ninjas knows for sure.

Deadpool brings Mary back to the Hellhouse to collect his payment. T-Ray doesn’t take too kindly to this and sets out to teach good ol’ Wade a lesson!

Deadpool Half-off All Weekend Long!

Posted on April 1st, 2011 - 08:54 AM by

Today is April Fool’s Day! A day of mischief, shenanigans, pranks and tom-foolery.  We could try and pull a fast one over all the loyal comiXology fans out there but we’d rather just let you read awesome comcis instead. However in honor of this most harlequin of holiday’s we’re hooking you up with a helping of tales featuring one of the greatest pranksters of all time. Deadpool!

It’s no joke. The Merc with a mouth is working overtime this weekend with his original limited series “The Circle Chase,” as well as the first 12 issues of his first ongoing series available at 50% off the normal price! Is there really a better way to celebrate April 1st in style than with the original jokester of the Marvel Universe? Didn’t think so. Don’t be a fool and download it today because this sale won’t last forever and missing out is one joke that is just not funny.

The Mad Magazine awards

Posted on September 7th, 2010 - 12:58 PM by

Sorry, I mean the Harvey awards, named after Harvey Kurtzman, creator of Mad Magazine.  Though…it might be a more apt description of the events that unfolded.

I have a sad self-truth to admit:  despite whatever claims of mega-nerdiness I claim to subscribe to, I’ve only been to 2 cons in my entire life.  Three, if you count the time I went but couldn’t get into NYCC and woefully walked home in my green Robin hot pants.

The cons I went to were giant productions, crammed to the gills with geeks, so when we arrived at Baltimore con and found something more intimate, I was very pleasantly surprised.  All of the fans were exceedingly nice (and well dressed!), books were cheap, and you got lots of face time with creators.  All the while, though while I am always first and foremost a professional, I excel in the art of girly giddiness when I’m around said creators (even when I’ve already talked to them for our highly entertaining podcast).

Embarrassments aside, after the con finished, we attended a very drama filled Harvey Awards.  The theme that was supposed to have come across was that digital was good (!) and that creators had nothing to worry about in terms of pirating and their monies (Euros, dollars, rupees, gold pieces, etc).  However, I couldn’t help but get the distinction that I was actually attending another person’s family reunion.  Everyone knew eachother, and each of the individual families were getting along just fine.  But there was the occasional crazy sommersaulting uncle (I’m looking at you Bryan Glass), the sincere aunt, and then grandpapa telling your uncle how much of a screw up he is and how he’s about to take him out back for a beat down.

Oh, and there were awards.

My exaggerations may sound just like that – exaggerations – but I assure you they are spot on.  But seriously, someone should write a comic about the Harvey awards…and if that won a Harvey award, would that be a paradox?
