yeah, i'm a comic book nerd too
Kick-Ass is an ongoing comic written by Mark Miller (Wanted, Superman: Red Son, Civil War) and illustrated by John Romita, Jr. The feature film adaptation will be released April 16, 2010. It tells the story of an ordinary New York high school student who uses his interest in comic books to become an actual costumed superhero. The comic is awesome, the movie looks great…I can’t wait.
I had the trailer embedded, but I couldn’t get it to stop playing automatically and that annoys the heck out of me. You should definitely check out the trailer though. It gives you just enough without ruining the story for you. Check out the trailer at Apple trailers
sick of "best of 09" lists?
As 2009 quickly comes to an end, you’re probably seeing a whole lot of “best of” lists. Personally, I love the “best of” lists. I love to see what other tastes are out there. Sometimes I agree and sometimes I completely disagree with the lists, but nevertheless, I enjoy them.
But if you’re sick of all the “best of” lists this year, or if you’re just looking for a good laugh, Pitchfork has a great list of The Worst Album Covers of 2009. My personal favorite is MannieFresh (pictured) and his use of Transformers.

looking for a good book?
If you’re looking for a book to get the bad taste of twilight out of your mouth (disclaimer: i have read the entire twilight series, so i am allowed to bash it), do yourself a favor and pick up Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book. This book tells the story of a boy named Nobody “Bod” Owens who, after his family is murdered, is adopted and raised by the occupants of an old graveyard.
I read this book last winter and it was one of the best books i’ve read in quite some time. I constantly tell people to read this book, yet I feel they write it off as one of the many sub par replacements for the Harry Potter series. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. If you have ever read any of Neil Gaimen’s works (Sandman, Stardust, Coraline), you know there is something special about his writing how it draws you into his fantastical worlds.
The Graveyard Book may not have garnered the attention of the twilight series, but it was not overlooked by the critics. The Graveyard Book was awarded with the 2009 Hugo, Newbery, and Locus awards. If you haven’t read this book yet, I highly recommend you doing so (especially since a film adaptation is currently in the works).
