The Pulphaus Publitorium

In which I start a series of posts, dedicated to the five things that amuse me most over the course of a day. Probably. Today’s post includes this:

Make with the clicking already!

It’s the first Monday after the last week of comics for the month – which means its time for the $40 Pull List!

This month is probably the first time that a book has been dropped from the list that I’m not really okay with. It made for some neat drama. You can definitely read all about it over at the site, by clicking on that nifty banner. And hey, if you want to post something in my favour, feel free! But seriously, Craig is a pretty awesome dude, so don’t attack him personally – just his horrible, horrible taste. [Wink emoticon]

Once a month at the comic book store, we get in a 500+ paged book that tells us about product that’s coming out in a few months so that we can get a grasp of what we’re ordering. Sometimes there’s some crazy things in there, but this has to be one of the craziest:

Thank you Dark Horse. And thank you, Metalocalypse/Dethklok #2 – for making this possible.

I want to hate Jimmy Fallon, I really do. But every once and a while, he actually does something that amuses me to no end.

What. You should know by now that I’m a sucker for all things Glee.

So, there was this story about how Bed Bugs have gone crazy in New York – and the Daily Show showed a bit of this absolutely horrifying video by Isabella Rossellini, detailing the sex life of Bed Bugs. I had to find it. It involves knife penises.

You’re welcome.

I will never not love this picture. The fact that my site has been up for weeks, and this hasn’t made an appearance makes me ever-so-sad.

You’re welcome.

…to its new, temporary location:

http://comixtreme.net

In the near future we will be undergoing a name change, but I’d still suggest changing your bookmarks to the new location now. We’ll probably be using it to send readers to the “new” site when it launches, so you won’t be wasting your time.

A run-around of stuff, as it is happening RIGHT NOW:

• There’s something wrong with Comixtreme. While I probably shouldn’t really get into the specifics, it may spur us to change the site’s name – something that could work out for the best, considering the fact that most of the creators we’ve spoken to roll their eyes and chuckle when we tell them our name.
• As a result of this, the SUPER SECRET PROJECT I’ve been working on for them is going to have to… change. And probably get delayed a little, as its formatting was hooked into the site’s 10th Anniversary. Hurmph.
• One of my web comic projects will be back in January for a finite run. As with all things I will plan for this site, it will start posting when the story I have in mind is complete – and will disappear from the shelves until the new arc is ready.

Now, on with your regular business.

No seriously. I don’t know what came over me, but as I started writing up the commentary, I started to get angry – and ended up picking a fight using Hulk #24 as an example. You can read all about it by clicking this handy link. Feel free to come back to tell me that I’m crazy.

And also, everyone will have guns that are also swords, and it will be awesome.
