I’ve discussed my love of Zenescope before. Now, in addition to their Grimm Fairy Tales Animated Series, it looks like there is going to be a live action television series based on their series of Wonderland books.

Today’s Crazy Comic Ad comes to us from the heyday of Marvel Comics, October 1991, from issue 3 of the official Terminator 2: Judgement Day comic book adaptation. And it’s a real doozy. Be sure to check it out full size to really get the effect of the craziness.

Great writing is only half the story when it comes to comics. If I just wanted something to read I have plenty of books. No, the great thing about comics is all the visuals. While a bad artist can take a great story and make it unreadable, a good artist can elevate a bad story to new heights with creative and evocative artwork.

Another year of WizardWorld has come and gone, and while I’m exhausted and a fair deal poorer than when it all started, I managed to survive. So what all happened? Read onwards and we’ll tell you! If you’re looking for the Captains Panel coverage, move straight to page 2.

A little over a hour ago, Zenescope’s Kickstarter campaign for a Grimm Fairy Tales animated series closed out. How did they do? Well, their target was $175,000. They managed to raise $188,970 between 1,174 donors, with about $$127 coming yours truly. I couldn’t be happier that this is going to really happen.

Keep turned here for further details as they become available.

I’ve always been a big X-Men fan. The Animated Series came out when I was in 6th grade, and I’ve seen every episode multiple times, including at least 3 times I sat down and watched all 76 episodes in a row in a short span. I still have my VHS Tape, cup and placemat from the Pizza Hut promo. It was also one of the few series I read regularly at the time, I had all the issues of Uncanny from 281 (coincides with X-Men, Vol 2 #1) all the way up through and past Jean and Scott’s wedding to the Age of Apocalypse and most of the corresponding X-Men issues until I lost interest in comics the first time.

In the spirit of Avengers vs. X-men, for this week and next week, I’m gonna draft my own Avengers and X-Men teams respectively.

Most of my exposure to the ‘A’ team was through their West Coast Branch, because for some reason I bought a copy of Avengers West Coast #1 simply because I could when I was a kid. I’m gonna try to avoid the big names and go with a more offbeat list. While I could just use the Fantastic Four and Spider Man (really, look it up), here’s my list.

Jonathan Hickman is all over the place, or so it seems. In addition to his awesome runs on both Fantastic Four and FF (which brought me back to reading comics in general and The World’s Greatest Comic Magazine in particular after a 15 year absence), and helming the new Ultimates, now he’s starting a new series over at Image called Secret. A noir espionage thriller from a great sci-fi writer? Sounds pretty cool to me. They need to work on the creepy cover though. Read the press release from Image after the jump.
