Ah man, I think I'm going to be stupid and pre-order this game. I mean, Akuma... come on! As for the comic, I'll read it, but I won't pretend to be excited. I've read Tekken comics before and they were shit; now I have lowered expectations.

So... toys of pop culture nerdom are now a comic book... of the same pop culture nerdom? Why would anyone do this? Rhetorical, it's money. The question is why would anyone buy it? Rhetorical again, because IDW has some of the loyalist fans with the loosest wallets... that's not a compliment by the way.

Seriously, like most people my age I like 10 Things I Hate About You. Okay, maybe not most guys since I've yet to meet another dude that didn't just watch the movie because of a woman he was dating, but I legit like the film. I don't, however, care for a movie writer working on comic books. While this gave me tingles of nostalgia for movie reasons, it's not exciting my comic buttons just yet. I'll wait until I read it, though.

I can see the logic behind this, you have access to the property so why not pull a Hanna-Barbera and mash it up all adult like. I won't lie, this is great as fan art or even variant covers if you must, but seeing this in practice and for it to be a growing practice is worrisome. It reminds me of my recent "Unpopular Comic Opinion" that you can listen to here. Just a lot of licensed crap this week and I'm sure we'll see more of this when they're ready to show it.

Oh what a world we live in. We don't even have to play the game in order to get tie-in material! I'm sure this comic will answer any deep rooted question you have about the game or something of that nature. I won't know, I don't know what the fuck the game is nor do I want to read a comic based on a video game in general.

Well that's one way to increase your comic sales. I mean, the direct market is great and all, but I bet you that every publisher would like to add the newsstand market to their market. (Alterna is doing just that so congrats to them on a side note) This is interesting to say the least, obviously not for me and not for most comic readers, but maybe you can hook more little kids or movie goers for a few bucks.

I'm sorry, but no thank you. Myself, like everyone that likes nerd shit these days, love MST3K, but a comic book? No. That's where I draw the fucking line. This is exactly the shit I was talking about on my worst of list. Also, don't think I didn't notice that "products" was in there. It's like the comic is a thing they'll do in addition to pumping out statues and shit. Not interested. I haven't even looked for info on the new one due to the cast and this squashes my interest even more.

Gotta love the Marvel teasers... just artwork and a title. Generations, I would guess is about the different generations of characters. They call that "legacy" over at DC and it was the one thing they had going for them that Marvel didn't, but as you can see in the last ten years they've gone to great lengths to make a kid fucking Hulk and other standouts like Nova... wait how does Nova count when there was the Nova Corps? If you say it's because they're related I will point to every other fucking example on this Alex Ross wax museum as examples of that being bullshit. Look for more on this... probably tomorrow or never.
