Yeah, it’s Friday and as usual we like to celebrate the day with a little comic book and geek humor. Enjoy!
I think what really pushes this cover over the top for us is the looks on Batman and Robin’s faces.
Holy crap, now that’s funny! Actually cried a little I was laughing so hard at this one. By the way, don’t pass on that crying comment. We’re ninjas. We will kill you.
Aardman Films — the claymation studio behind Wallace and Gromit — has made a promo for the DC Nation cartoon block debuting on the Cartoon Network later this year. We enjoyed it here in the lair. Take a peak, we are really looking forward this launch.

Today we celebrate new comic books day with a healthy dose of horror with a new Creepy, The Walking Dead and on the superhero side we have new Flash, Aquaman and Justice League. Here is what we couldn’t wait to get our little lethal hands on today!
Justice League #5
From DC Comics and Geoff Johns, now, with the teenaged powerhouse Cyborg at their side, this group of individual heroes must somehow put their differences aside to face the terror of Darkseid!
Creepy #7
From Dark Horse Comics, hope your New Year’s resolution was to be terrified, because Creepy is back to start 2012 with a scream! Featuring the latest from bone-chilling scribes Joe and Keith Lansdale, Christopher Taylor, and Dan Braun, this installment of the abominable anthology is sure to leave you shivering in the corner until next year!
No you’re not paranoid, the Martians ARE coming! IDW announced that it is launching an ongoing comic series based on the cult phenomenon Mars Attacks. Partnering with its owner Topps, IDW is mixing action and dark humor with the help of writer John Layman and artist John McCrea. The series, which is set to launch in June, is planned as the centerpiece of an all new Mars Attacks universe on the eve of its 50th Anniversary. More from IDW:
IDW Publishing and Topps are pleased to announce the multiple Eisner Award-winning creative team for MARS ATTACKS, an all-new ongoing comic series based on the fan-favorite Mars Attacks franchise.
Debuting in June 2012, IDW’s comic series will offer the first stories of an all-new Mars Attacks universe, bringing the brand’s outrageous action and dark humor to a new set of tales. Writer John Layman, author and co-creator of the Eisner-winning series Chew, will pen the series, with art by John McCrea, best known for his collaborations with Garth Ennis, including Eisner-winner Hitman.
“I’m a huge fan of Mars Attacks from a long way back. I own about half the original card set from 1962 and have a pretty big collection of collectables and doodads,”Layman said. “It’s always been a dream of mine to destroy the Earth and inflict huge degrees of suffering on the rest of humanity. With this Mars Attacks series, I finally get my chance.”
Created in 1962, Mars Attackscelebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012 with major product launches throughout the year. IDW’s new comic series, as well as high-quality reprints of existing material, will be a cornerstone of that effort.
Originally published by Topps as a series of trading cards,Mars Attacks was created by Len Brown andWoody Gelman, after Brown was inspired by the Wally Wood cover to Weird Science #16 (EC Comics). The cards went on to achieve cult status for their then-shocking imagery—fully painted by pulp legend Norm Saunders and based on designs byWood and Bob Powell—and remains a staple of pop culture. Topps revived the franchise in the mid 1990s with a second card set, comic book series and toy line. The story was also adapted into the 1996 feature film Mars Attacks!, directed by Tim Burton.
So you thought the best of the Star Wars fan films had all been done. Think again. We just came across this and have been memorized for the last two hours. It’s a complete retelling of A New Hope in fifteen second increments through fan submitted CGI, puppetry, live action, and even action figures. Back in 2009, Casey Pugh shared his idea with the Internet, and, with the help of thousands of fans, his dream became a reality. Here it is, enjoy!

Universal Pictures has released a longer sneak peak of the upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman on their Facebook page. This could be fun although we will miss the “Hi Ho, Hi Ho” song. Summary:
In the epic action-adventure Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart (Twilight) plays the only person in the land fairer than the evil queen (Oscar winner Charlize Theron) out to destroy her. But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) dispatched to kill her. Sam Claflin (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast as the prince long enchanted by Snow White’s beauty and power.
Directed by Rupert Sanders, the new take on the classic fairy tale also stars Ian McShane, Eddie Izzard, Bob Hoskins, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, Steven Graham and Nick Frost. It opens June 1.
All right just kidding. Here it is:
