Very cool . . .

From Bullz-Eye.com’s summer movie preview:
After several decades in various stages of development — and one remarkably half-assed, low-budget film adaptation — one of Marvel’s most iconic heroes finally gets his blockbuster due with “Captain America: The First Avenger,” which follows the titular super-patriot (played by Chris Evans) on his journey from scrawny GI to shield-wielding World War II badass. Sound like a fun time at the theater? Good news: Marvel’s already working on a sequel.
There are many ways to share your appreciation of comics. Many people do this on a regular basis, by going to conventions. Others go more all out, but less frequently. No matter what your level of appreciation for comics, you will find that there are great ways to show the world.
Dress Up
Most people enjoy dressing up for special occasions. One of the most common times to dress up is for Halloween. If you are trying to show the world your favorite comic book hero, this is the perfect time and way to do it. Another great option for dressing up is to not only dress yourself up, but also your pets. For example, you could get a batman dog costume, and then take your four-legged friend out for some fun. There are many options today for things like hoodies or shirts that represent different comic book characters.
Conventions
There are conventions all over the country, and even the world, that celebrate comics of all sorts. In fact, at some of these conventions you may end up coming across new, great comics that you had never heard of before. There tend to be classic comics represented, but also new favorites. To find the perfect convention for you, you can easily do a search for your favorite comic, followed by the word convention, and the city or state that you are looking in. Sometimes you can find very specified conventions for one particular type of comic, while other times, they may be more broad.
Talk to Others
If you have a love of comics, whether in book form or online, you may find yourself wanting to share this love with the world. There are many ways you can do this. For example, you can talk to friends and family about the comics that are your favorites, and why. You may even find that some of these people have interests in the same comics as you. Another option to talk about your comics as much as you want is to make a blog. This allows you to write about comics as much as you want, whenever you want. A third option for talking about comics is to join a forum. This allows you access to many others who are interested in comics as well.
No matter which way you choose to go when showing your appreciation for comics, know that not everyone will agree with you. You may find some people who like different comics, and aren’t fans of the ones you like. You may also find people that think that comics in general aren’t for them. Either way, though you may have to deal with these people, you do not have to give in to them. You know what you like, and you don’t have to change that for any reason. When considering your favorite ways to show your favorite comics, what are the best ways that come to mind for you?
The good folks over at Mother Jones recently had a fun conversation with a couple of gentlemen whose names may not mean anything to you right off the bat, but James Daily, of Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, and Ryan Davidson, an insurance lawyer from Fort Wayne, Indiana, are the founders of Law and the Multiverse, a blog which deals with the ins and outside of comic book legalities.
Now, when we say “comic book legalities,” we don’t mean, like, “I created this character, and you don’t have the rights to use him.”
We’re talking questions such as, “If a superhero has sex with a woman who doesn’t know he’s a superhero, i.e. when he’s in his secret identity, can she sue if the child turns out to have undesirable uncontrollable superpowers?”
And, yes, they do have an answer for that.
James Daily: I don’t think so. I mean I’m not positive, but I would think that by analogy to, for example, someone who knows that they are the carrier to a hereditary disease.
Ryan Davidson: Yeah, a hereditary condition is different than a disease. If you know you have a disease and you give to someone else through sex and you know you have it, that’s a crime.
James Dailey: And it’s worth noting that the father would still be required to support the child. That’s probably the way the law addresses that kind of thing: It’s unfortunate you have a child that you didn’t realize was going to require maybe special care, you have to send them off to a special school for mutants or whatever, but on the other hand the other parent is supposed to at least theoretically supposed to pay for their fair share of that.

There’s nothing like the name “Steven Spielberg” to get a show buzzing almost an entire year before it ever hits the airwaves. Such was the case with TNT’s new sci-fi drama, “Falling Skies,” starring Noah Wyle, a man whose name I still want to spell as “Wylie” no matter how many times I type it.
Wyle and fellow series cohorts Moon Bloodgood and co-executive producer and writer Mark Verheiden turned up at the New York Comic-Con not too long ago, and to unabashedly play on that fanbase, TNT is offering up its first look at the “Falling Skies” web comic, which comes to us courtesy of the fine folks at Dark Horse Comics.
