THE DAILY NEWS BREAKDOWN
25th July 2010
This news breakdown is dedicated to all things childish: Comics, graphic novels, toys and cartoon characters. My kinda stuff.
The annual Comic Convention is on this weekend in San Diego (fun fact: you can't get to San Diego from Sydney by bus). Expect lots of virgins falling over themselves by the hot cosplay girls.
Some awesome bombshells were dropped, including the trailer for The Goon (one of Dark Horse's many cool characters).
Here's some exclusive toys that were on display
The nerd from Robot Chicken
And who says comics can't change lives for the better? This poor bastard was about to lose his house when he went rummaging for crap in his basement and found Action Comics #1, which as you know is the be all and end all of comic collectables. The comic will go on auction, the last time the same copy went under the hammer it sold for $1.5 million.
It wasn't all shits and giggles though as those crazy assholes The Westboro Baptist Church picketed the event as reading comics is seen as "worshipping false idols". But dudes, you guys believe in God. Delicious irony.
Stepping up to the plate locally is Graphic, which will be held at the Opera House.
Like most other cool shit that happens at the Opera House there will be both free and paid events. Some of the highlights including Regurgitator performing the score from Akira, and talks by Neil Gaiman (the cat whose responsible for the Sandman titles) and everybody's favourite fat fucker Kevin Smith.
No word on whether he will have to pay for 2 seats on the flight over. Ahem.
Event info here.
Gorillaz are touring. Impressive. But before we rush out to spend 12000 cents on tickets we'll wait to find out who's joining Damon on the tour (MF DOOM please)
Interpol's new album is out soon. Go to the Matador Records website to preorder. Dudes are giving away silkscreen posters designed by Shepard Fairey (the Obey cat).
Poor Carlos missed out.
