Every week we at Geekanerd rip panels from our comics and put them on display here, recognizing the best, worst, and weirdest moments of the week. Click the pics for high res goodness, and beware SPOILERS.
Aunt May is a GMILF - Amazing Spider-Man #548 Looks like Spidey's deal with the devil not only saved his auntie's life but also took 30 years off her age and injected her with some sex magic. I guess the devil felt bad for taking away his hot model wife. Seriously, look at the coy smile she's giving that well-dressed suitor. For comparison's sake, here is the toothless old hag she used to be: Hit the jump for impressive feats of magic, awkwardness and product placement...
Product Placement Double Trouble - Amazing Spider-Man #548 It's no World War Old Spice, but I'm still impressed with Marvel that they were able to cram TWO ADS into ONE COMIC PANEL. Find815.com is a LOST viral marketing site/ARG thingy, which is actually pretty cool and worth a visit if you're a fan of the show. And before some ninnies come around and start talking about product placement adding to the realism of the world, tell me why the hell a cabbie would have a bumper sticker advertising a TV show's website and why he's driving a Chevy when every other cabbie in New York is driving a Ford. Oh, and that's not even to mention why he'd have a vanity plate glorifying the recent superhero schism that destroyed sections of the city and led to Captain America's death.
Celebrity Cameo Alert - Damage Control #1 There's our man, floppy red hair and beady eyes and all.
The Ultimate Secret of Magic - John Constantine: Hellblazer #240 Ooh ooh ooh, now imagine Keanu Reeves saying it!
Even the most dedicated Rock Band player can be instantly shamed by the presence of a person who can play an actual guitar. On his writerless show last week, Conan O'Brien showed his staff how to rock for reals, and also gave an amazing rendition of Sabotage as interpreted by Edith Bunker. Writers smiters!
Earlier this week, Tina Fey stopped by Late Night with Conan O'Brian and confessed her Star Wars fandom. The proof starts at around 4:45...
She owned the 24 inch Millennium Falcon toy as a kid (who didn't? Geek Cred: 2)
She plans to dress her daughter up as Princess Leia for Halloween (Indoctrinating the offspring? Well done. Geek Cred: 50)
She got Carrie Fisher to guest star on 30 Rock and and wrote her the line, "Help me Liz Lemon, you're my only hope." (Using fame and power to fulfill geek fantasies?! Geek Cred: 500,000!)
I'm tellin' ya, folks, this lady is on the cover of geek magazine. No, literally. On the vid at 5:27, there she is on the cover.
Vanity Fair has a pretty cool article up telling the story of The Simpsons through quotes from some of those who made it. No Matt Groening or James Brooks, but I guess we've heardfromthembefore. Instead we have Conan O'Brien, Rupert Murdoch, Hank Azaria, and more writers and producers than you can shake a Butterfinger at. Particularly juicy bits:
Elizabeth Taylor saying "Fuck you" to Groening and storming out of a recording session after he claims her reading of Maggie's "Daddy" line is too sexual.
Groening's falling out with Sam Simon, who many attest developed The Simpsons we know and love from Matt's crude drawings.
On deteriorating quality: "it stopped being like the geeky guys from college writing the show and became people who just really wanted to be comedy writers, and wanted to be Hollywood, so they could say, 'I work on The Simpsons.' That's when Homer sort of became stupid."
Get your hands on the first piece of Will Wright's new masterpiece, and make some creatures that'll put Jim Henson to shame. Well, not really. But you can dream.
