I’ve never heard of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, but I don’t live in Ohio, either. I also haven’t heard of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. However, the two will be working together. The University’s website is reporting that Professor Dan Younger, a comics instructor at the University, has worked to have the comics created in his class not only sold at the school’s bookstore but preserved at the museum. I do agree with Avi Green of Four Color Media Monitor that the writer of the article made a bad comment about comics, though.
Hmm..I wonder if I’ll ever produce something worthy of being preserved at a museum?

With the exception of Transformers and a few 0dds and ends you see at The Clutter Reports, I’m not a huge merchandise collection. (However, I heard they’re coming out with a classic-era Godzilla figure in Japan’s SH Monsterarts line that I so wish I had money to get because it looks so darn cool! That and the MechaGodzilla, MechaGhidorah, and Rodan, but the first two there should have been obvious to anyone who has been following my Godzilla writings and that video.) I otherwise would rather get the stories…videos, comics, novels, various audio media…and when it comes to stuff from Japan that requires translation. Trust me, I have a few raw manga and they’re on the purge list except for Mazinger Z omnibus and the Spider-Man volumes I have.
Guyver merchandise is something I didn’t know existed but I’ve seen episodes of all three animated series (anyone who tells you the 90’s series was horrible isn’t wrong) and both movies. And as you know I’ve been reviewing the Viz translations of the comic, although I only have 10 issues of that left because Viz sadly ended short and nobody picked up the slack. I hear it’s still going on.
So because I cannot think of anything to discuss for tonight I bring you our old pal Matt Burkett and his Monstrosities tokusatsu V-log series as he goes over his Japanese and American Guyver merchandise.

RSC 2008 Spoiler Alert (Photo credit: hello lovely)
In an open letter to Marvel’s Dan Slott, The Outhouse contributor “GHERU” responds to the Marvel editor’s complaining about Bleeding Cool spoiling a recent issue of Batman behind a spoiler warning when his company (and DC’s) spoil things all the time in big-name newspapers and the comics news media. Official spoilers is the dumbest marketing move I know and it happens all the time in comics, television, and movie trailers. If one of us wants to spoil something, and warns you, then you did it to yourself if you keep reading or watching.
