There’s lots of love about Tyler Novo’s Mean Teddies In this short animation we deal with one fierce looking bear. I’m reminded of an adventurer; he’s kitted out for war but fighting to keep the monsters at bay. This bear takes no prisoners. Why? He’s a little boy to protect. He has someone to keep […]

Christmas Lights Star Wars style
This video is good for the outset. You know what you’re going to get; the new habit of decking your house outs in enough lights to land a plane and carefully timed effects to music. I think there’s a surprise at around 1:30m which makes it even better. Tom BetGeorge’s video has had over 1 […]
Little Groot is super cute and affordable
Groot must be mine! I’m used to Sideshow Toys charging a lot for their models. This isn’t just profit taking; their models are expensive to make and collectible. It’s no surprise to see that Hot Toy’s version of Little Groot, due out January 2015, is wonderful. It is a surprise to see that Sideshow is […]
Smaug and Toothless go head to head
20-something Australian artist Ria blogs as Tapestry Clouds. She’s into fanart, fanpics, animation and Superwholock. I am fire and death! Hat tip Eli Reyes at Geek Tyrant.
At long last – Spider-Woman gets a new costume
Spider-Woman’s not changed her costume in a while and after the drama around the Milo Manara alternative cover which had the wall-crawling superhero in a rather awkward pose it feels like a change is long overdue. As it happens this is an issue discussed in today’s interview with David Reddick. Now USA Today as an […]

What does that mean? For a start we’ll be sharing clips of forthcoming and new audio books. Thanks to Audible for their help in […]

Sponsored Video: 5 Christmas traditions worth skipping
Christmas is a busy time of year and it can be quite stressful. That’s a shame. From its origins as a pagan festival, its co-opting by Christianity to the modern day combination of festive fun, shopping and a touch of religious respect where appropriate the day still has meaning to many people. That said; there […]
On the spot jammin’ to Nintendo themes
To support their Indiegogo campaign the Player Piano team put composer and pianist Sonya Belousova on the spot. Sonya was played a little clip from a number of Nintendo theme tunes and had just a few seconds to compose her own piano take on the classic. She does very well.
David Reddick on Intelligent Life, Spider-Woman’s butt and Star Trek
I first encountered David Reddick’s Intelligent Life over at Comics Kingdom. There it’s one of my favourite strips, among many other good series, and I’ve actually configured the system to email me updates rather than rely on RSS as I normally do. I’ve gotten to know the characters; Skip, Gwen, Mike and Barry pretty well […]
