'ALIENS: THE PUPPET MUSICAL'

So the Meat & Potato Theatre has gone and remade 'ALIENS'..... with puppets!!

From their facebook page/website:
"In a world...where singing puppets can't hear you scream." Meat & Potato Theatre brings you the mash-up of the season with this tribute to all things Sci-Fi, puppet, and Broadway musical!
Follow the adventures of Ellen Ripley (m&p favorite Rebecca Marcotte) as she returns to the planet where she first encountered a murderous alien that wiped out her entire crew. Now he's imbedded in a platoon of Space Marines whose mission it is to discover why the colony on that same planet has gone mysteriously quiet.
Oozing with characters from Snake Plissken to Optimus Prime, from Bert to Ernie, and from Alf to Lady Gaga! Festering with hundreds references to other science fiction movies! Quarantined with eight brand new songs and dances! Meat & Potato Theatre takes you to heaven and back with their unique brand of theatrical storytelling!
(Water pistols are used in this performance. Audiences may get sprayed.)

GANDALF VS VADER


I meant to post this yesterday... its GANDALF VS VADER.

I stopped watching once Vader shot Sith Lightning, so I don't know how it plays out.

*Only Emperor Palpatine shoots Lighting. It's what makes him so awesome, powerful and unique. Yes, technically Darth Sidious shot Sith Lightning, but I don't acknowledge the Star Wars Prequels as official canon.

PROPHET #25 - ANOTHER GREAT ISSUE

I hope you're reading 'PROPHET'.
If not, do yourself a favor - it be goooood!

Start with issue 21
You don't need to know anything that came before.

SCOTTY FINALLY GETS "BEAMED UP"

via eonline:
James Doohan has now gone where he's always wanted to go.
When the actor better known as Scotty on the popular TV series Star Trek died in 2005, it was his wish to have his ashes sent into space.

Well, after an earlier attempt was made to launch them back in 2008 failed, that dream became a reality on Tuesday when Doohan's remains were successfully sent into orbit via SpaceX's unmanned Falcon 9 rocket.


Doohan, however, wasn't the only "celeb" to take off from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station yesterday. Among the other 308 deceased individuals who had their ashes shot into the cosmos along with the USS Enterprise engineer was Gordon Cooper, who was one of the famous Mercury seven astronauts.

JEALOUS BE THY NAME

Holy crap! My buddy's friend was cleaning out his garage and found his old copy of HEAVY METAL #1!!!! Score of the Gods!!!!

WINNER OF THE "LIEFELD POSE" CONTEST


Ha, this is Jonathan - the winner of Penny Arcade's "LIEFELD POSE CONTEST". (Even Rob himself entered!)

The pose is great and cracked me up. But dude... you couldn't find a cleaner area to pose in? Maybe straighten up a little? That room kind of made me sad.

Plus,  background elements rarely exist in a Liefeld panel.

I of course am merely poking fun at both Jonathan (great job!) and Rob Liefeld (who, in my experience, is a great guy).

2 NEW AQUAMAN COVERS FOR YAZ

Aquaman #12 and Justice League #12 (august 2012)

The Aquaman book is... okayyy... 

Justice League is a giant steaming turd.

Neither come with my recommendation.

But I felt inclined to post the covers anyway to show my Aqualove.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*I've always preferred the no-gloves version of Aquaman.
