Would You Rather...? Sandman Fashions

Doug: So let's say you have a dinner date (OK, dinner meeting) with our pal Flint Marko (aka William Baker, aka the Sinister Sandman). How would you prefer ol' Sandy come dressed? Perhaps it depends on how high-end a restaurant you've chosen...

Picking a "Sinister Six" for Anyone and Everyone

Doug:  So back on Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, I saw a solicitation on Twitter for one of IDW's fabulous Artist's Editions (lordy, would I love to have one of those!).  This particular book, shown below, is the second volume dedicated to the Jazzy One, John Romita, Sr.  Pictured is a well-known Spider-Man cover featuring eight of his long-time nemeses.  But it got me to thinking as I was checking out the baddies -- the original Sinister Six isn't pictured!  There's no Mysterio!  Of course, because I always have your best conversational interests at heart, my next thought was, "Well, any six of these Spidey-haters could have filled out an interesting roster..."  And the next thought I had was, "Hmmm... I wonder what the greater BAB community would say if charged with picking a Sinister Six for the Fantastic Four?  Or Daredevil?  Or Batman?  Or the Flash?"  Of course I know the answer.  You're going to run with this.

Doug:  So like a defensive back licking his chops as he steps in front of an errant pass with nothing but green turf between himself and a score, today you're going to "Pick 6" bad guys for any of your favorite protagonists.  It can be a solo character or from the annals of any team book.  You can set it up in one of two ways, I suppose -- pick six who would make a good team together, or just treat it like a "top six" list of the most significant villains for that particular character(s).  Have fun with this -- looking forward to some interesting nominations and healthy debate!

More Alex Ross Marvel 75th Covers, and ASM Movie Spin-offs?

 

Doug:  Potpourri today, friends.  Earlier this week Marvel's newest solicitations went live on the web, and the next installment in the Alex Ross alternate covers celebrating Marvel Comics' 75th Anniversary was unveiled.  You can see it below:  Daredevil #1.

Doug:  Additionally, Sony Pictures, which holds the license to Marvel's Spider-Man films, announced late last week that they intend to not only make an Amazing Spider-Man 3, but also two spin-off films:  Venom and the Sinister Six.  Thoughts?

Karen: Speaking of Amazing Spider-Man 2, here's a new international trailer that highlights the humor in the film:

Don't Know What This Is For, But It's Pretty Awesome!

Doug:  Eat yer hearts out, Ross-haters!  "Wax Dummies", indeed!
