“Man-At-Arms, would like to borrow my shie…oh, never mind.”
This week is a break from the Friday Night Fights. There is no more break between the Prize Fight, coming next week, and the next tournament. Meanwhile, where we were in the Best Of section has so few competitors that I feel bad leaving folks out in each round. I don’t know what will become of Best Of Friday Night Fights just yet, but I was going to do another BW Press Junket. Then I ran into complications and I’m hoping to have it done by tomorrow in place of the Saturday Night Showcase.
In it’s place, here’s some interesting He-Man trivia from the Official He-Man YouTube page. Did you ever wonder who “Masters Of The Universe” referred to in the toyline and TV shows? James Eatock has the answer for you in this trivia video.
Maybe they finally saw Man of Steel?

So how many of Marvel’s “events” have used the word “War” anyway?
Hey kids, would you like to create a lame, unnecessary event but don’t have access to a dartboard? Can you use a pair of scissors? Well has Comics Alliance got a deal for you! Graphic design Kate Willaert has created a spinner; just print it out and create the next big, overblown, annoying comic event. No printer? There’s an interactive version, too! Now you can create crap like the big boys!
The most Guyver action you’ll be seeing this issue.

I’m starting to think DiDio’s mission is to confuse the hell out of all of us.
At ComicsPRO, and I don’t know what or where that is, “5 Years Later” went from rumor to “coming soon”, in September to be exact. So basically DC is back to the “status quo is for suckers” way of timing events. This is what Eventitis does to you.
Newsarama decided to split the news into three articles (probably to boost their readership, and thus their ad revenue). One focused on the new 3D covers, one on a currently unnamed third weekly series, and then finally DiDio discussing his new marketing gimmick. Because that’s all the big two know how to do anymore…marketing gimmicks. We’re going to focus on DiDio’s interview, ignore the stupid cover gimmick, and focus on the weekly series and the new event. Because “Forever Evil” just brought their Eventitis out of remission.
