This is the Fourth Of July, or to use the proper name, Independence Day, where we of the United States celebrate our liberation from imperial rule to form a country where the people decide how we will live. Insert political joke here. I have nothing in my comic library to celebrate this event and this is the Friday Night Fights so the best I could do was Captain America. And he brought his friends.
That joke kind of tells itself.
The Real Ghostbusters #18
As you can guess, it’s based on the animated series while the IDW books ignore it in favor of the movies, which sadly ignored the cartoon.

My Horse and Me (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
It’s not easy doing a live-action movie that calls for something to happen to an animal. For example, someone riding their horse off of a cliff. But did a horse actually die from being pushed off of a cliff, leading to the American Humane Association (I always thought it was the American Human Society) being given oversight when it comes to animals on set. Legend revealer Bryan Cronin investigates.

Our final Press Junket of ConnectiCon 2013 features the Vice President of ConnectiCon, Ryan Pagella. He discusses the convention’s history and it’s future. I happen to love this convention and even without a hotel room I plan to cover as much of it as I can.
So that’s how she applies her makeup every morning?

Cartoon Brew‘s Amid Amidi reports that Sony is trying to distance themselves from the less-than-spectacular CG/live-action Smurfs films and seriously promoting a fully animated (still in CG) movie. This includes a chat with character designer Patrick Mate.
Now I do know there is a direct to video movie in which 3D Smurf have a 2D flashback to tell the story but I haven’t watched it to judge if it’s any good. I will say that if they really want to distance themselves from the hybrid movies…start with getting rid of Bad Scottish Stereotype Smurf or whatever his name is! I think he drove me away from the movie more than my apathy about the poorly adapted “no-stalgia” movies.
