Vintage Comic Ads: Kooba Cola
Jan. 4th, 2012 06:12 pmhis_spiffynesssIf you were reading certain comics back in 1941, There was a series of rather ubiquitous ads for a soft drink unheard of today. A refreshing drink with Vitamin B1! Kooba Cola!
They clearly put a lot of effort into their advertising, working very closely with the people at Fox Features Syndicate to feature their product throughout their comics.
( Read On... )
The product even got shilled in the comics themselves as you can see in the Timothy Smith story down below. Timothy is an orphaned shoe shine boy who got whisked away to a magical world (or possibly a concussion induced coma after he got beaten up by a bully) where he goes on adventures with his gnomish pal Grimmage.
( There was only one slight problem with Kooba Cola: )

icon_ukBy way of Project Rooftop;
A few years ago current Wonder Woman artist Cliff Chiang put forward a notion for a story featuring Japanese characters who would be inspired by the JLA but filtered through their own culture of anime, toku and kaiju...

Anyone read 'Rise of the Governor'?
Jan. 4th, 2012 11:19 pmcyberghostface
For fans of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman (co-writing with Jay Bonansinga) just came out with a novel detailing the origins of the Governor. As he was one of my favorite characters in the series, I was really looking forward it to it. That being said, having finished it, I'm not sure what to think. Without spoiling anything, there are some twists that really end up changing the overall story, and I'm not sure if it works for the better. If you've read it, you probably know what I'm talking about. Definitely not what I expected at the very least.
That being said, the novel does do a great job at humanizing the Governor and making him a fairly tragic and sympathetic character. I'd probably give it a solid 'B'.
So has anyone else read it, and if so, what were your thoughts?
For legality, from The Walking Dead #29...
