Electric Spectre

Just under a year left until we finally get to see a glowing blue atomic nudist step on the Vietcong, and finally time to get a look at some of the dudes from the upcoming Watchmen film. For my money it looks good, more Batman Begins than LXE, with NiteOwl looking hard, and just a little fat, and Silk Spectre ditching the see-through curtains for skin tight rubber, always a plus in any young lady’s wardrobe. Anyway, get ready to see kids dressed as Rorshach this time next year,and ‘Black Freighter’ T-shirts galore.

Tentacles are obviously going to be big this year, and hopefully the sea-beast on the end of them will kill off all the pirates still hanging around outside the Intrepid Fox on a Friday night, which means they are all right with us. Anyway, we also like comic books here (and so should you) and here is the first of a wave (Hopefully) of tentacle manga the like of which we haven’t seen since the glory days of Overfiend. Rejoice Cthonic types, and read:

Basically, it’s the Big Sleep with added Lovecraftiness, which has to rule right?

Apparently there’s a bit of a ker-rofl going on about Iron Man at the moment, and seeing as we’re the type of people who, if intending to fight/do crimes, would be more likely to do it in a suit of armour full of guns than Spandex (Unlike Bruce Dickinson) I thought I’d better stick my oar in. Apparently some US fans reckon the song Iron Man (As featured in the rockin movie trailer) is about the superhero Iron Man. It is of course, a bit about the kids book Iron Man by Ted Hughes, and a bit about the fact that Geezer Butler was snorting superhuman amounts of coke while writing it, which is why he is our fave member of BS (except possibly Dio). Anyway, theres a big, pointless argument here if you want to get involved, and it gives me another chance to post this picture(courtesy 80s Tees) of possibly the stupidest T-shirt in the universe-Enjoy!

I’ve always liked the cyber/po-ap look. Nothing says style like leather jackets, unnecessary body armour and elaborate hair-dos. Thing is, i’m a little too self aware to actually wear this kind of thing on the street, for fear of mockage.

Until I discovered Ernte.

Holy fucking Christ that is awesome. Someone for the love of god crerate some more of this kind of thing and stock it in Topshop. This is the shit Hiro Protagonist would wear. I’m all for that.
