Maybe The Shirt Should Have Been A Tip-Off?

So...That's Green Lantern?
If you haven't seen the image of Ryan Reynolds as Green Lantern before, there it is on the right.
I don't love it. I don't even like it, really. But I don't hate it, either.
From what can be seen in the image, it seems to be solid green (other than the symbol) with texturing that is supposed to constantly reinforce to the viewer that it is an energy construct threaded together from hard light.
One of the most basic points of honest-to-goodness iconic super-hero costume design, IMO, is keeping it to 2-3 colors. The best (read: easiest to get right) combinations are generally some balanced mixture of black, white and another color. Most of the costumes that are busier than that or select colors that aren't as natural together succeeded because they were introduced in different/simpler times and have been ingrained into pop culture.
So, this outfit that seems to be just green, aside from the white in the symbol? Not so iconic or dynamic. A bit of a dud. Here's hoping they decide to tweak it a bit, since it is all CGI anyway.

Where's Cully?
How can Cully Hamner get invited on to the set of RED, but NOT be part of the panel at SDCC?

Milk That Yacht
Sheesh, how much SDCCI footage can you have that you're still rolling out interviews more than two months after it ended?
You have to wonder how relevant and up-to-date a two and a half month old interview can be. I don't know if there was some info that couldn't be made public until now, but, for crying out loud, scrap it and go with something new. Jonah's a great guy and all, but even he says during the interview that this was just announced and Shooter probably didn't have the scope of the project yet.
But I guess it helps fill out the page or something.
Be on the lookout on July 1st, 2010: from the SDCCI 2009 CBR yacht, the interview with John Layman on his reaction to the Gold Key news! The Monday before the convention? An SDCCI 2009 CBR yacht interview with Fabian Nicienza for his reaction, as well.

Mike Choi Rants: Giving People Something To Gossip Since...July 28th, 2008?
I'm surprised Rich Johnston didn't have something on this in Lying in the Gutters this week
Women in Marvel panel. Doesn't help that of the ten women up there, I knew that four of them were absolute cunts (and I fucking love 'em.) Good job, girls. I'd love to be a judge the next time you guys have a bake-off! (Seriously, anyone who thinks that all women think one way or the other, are male-sympathizers or male-bashers, needed to come to this panel. I'd like to think that we're hopefully adjusting ourselves to an equilibrium of how we treat the sexes. I think apologists are just as bad as the bashers, honestly, and that people should just treat everyone equally, and I think so did most of the people on the panel.) I didn't like one person though (whose name shall be withheld), only because she took Sonia's name card at the beginning and put hers in her spot, leaving Sonia to move to the end. That's a dick move.
God help me, I wanna know. I'd offer to buy Mike several rounds at the next con, but I know he has more integrity than that. ;)

SDCCI: Creator Fight Night
Back a few days ago, I razzed a comic book fan in the Lying in the Gutters forum that he'd know who the creators involved in fights during San Diego Comic Con Internationale were if he followed the right people on Twitter. When he asked why I didn't just share it right then and there, I explained that there was some confusion as to who the instigator was and I wouldn't want to further complicate the creator's situation by alluding to possible guilt when he might be innocent.
Good thing I held back.
Ed Kaye, of the great Hypergeek blog, got to the bottom of the story. While he didn't share the name of the other party involved in the fracas, he contacted the named creator attempted to contact the named creator (Steve Niles), then Googled and got the full story (where Niles was directly quoted). Apparently, it involved someone who regularly attends the con with a pre-existing beef between he and Niles. All signs indicate that Niles was only defending himself. More particulars are available at Hypergeek.
Now, if Mr. Kaye could just dig up the dirt about the alleged barfight involving Darwyn Cooke and a "glassing", we could have the major fight rumors completely wrapped up.

Was Miller Drunk? You Decide!
Over in my Paint-By-Twitter coverage of the Eisners (which will be bumped up to appear just below this blog), there was the suggestion that Frank Miller may have been drunk when he appeared behind the podium:
jamessime Special surprise Eisner host is drunken slurring Frank Miller. Having a hard time saying 'Spirit.' graemem @jamessime Frank Miller was AWESOME. Drunk old men should always begin award ceremonies.
Now that there's video of it up on the 'net (which Kevin Melrose brought to my attention via his post at Blog@Newsarama), I leave it up to you. You make the call!
Fun With Eisner Award Twitters
(Editor's Note: This was originally posted Friday night/Saturday morning; it has been bumped in order to be easier to come across for anyone hitting the site Monday)
Wading through all the tweets from Twitterati at the Eisner Awards show. So far, the most interesting:

mattfraction 5(!!!) kellysue Oh my god, I love Bá and Moon. popcandy Was just touched when Brazilian brothers Fabio Moon and Gabriel Ba won for best anthology. This comes after 12 years of coming to Comic-Con.
ronxo Sitting next to Tim Sale, across from Darwyn Cooke and Ed Brubaker is behind me to my left and @agent_m to my right! Comics yay! Agent_M @graemem where are you sitting? I'm right behind @jamessime and @ronxo graemem @Agent_M In the cheap seats. You think I get into the fancy tables at an event like this? Agent_M @graemem ya gotta work your way up!
Agent_M Samuel L. Jackson is here! graemem Kate freaks out that she is in the same room as Sam Jackson. Her jaw dropped. graemem I wonder if Sam Jackson is all "Shit, I am slumming it here." Agent_M http://twitpic.com/5feu - Samuel L. Jackson presenting an award at the Eisner's
graemem Kate on Bill Finger Award: "Is this the award for old people?"
mattfraction jla11 graemem Oh, Brad. I'll be the first person to clap!
popcandy Samuel L. Jackson gave best single issue to Brad Meltzer, who said, "This award is to all the losers," defining a hero as someone who tries.
Then Samuel Mothafuckin' Jackson presents the award for best mini, which, according to Matt Fraction, was:
mattfraction UMBRELLA!!! mattfraction gabriel ba can no longer be called the quiet one edkaye I'm guessing from @fractions non-stop twittering, that Gabriel Ba just won an eisner for his work on Umbrella Academy ivanbrandon multiple eisner award winner gabriel bá popcandy Then Jackson gave best limited series to The Umbrella Academy. Writer Gerard Way (singer of My Chemical Romance) accepted with Gabriel Ba. popcandy "This really means so much to me," a nervous and moved Way said. "I know I had to prove a lot."
Thanks to Matt, Ed & Ivan for reminding me why I should be excited for Umbrella Academy winning. Don't get me wrong: I loved the mini. But it would be hard to get excited for a rock star winning a comic book award. I mean...if he loses...he's still a rock star. But Gabriel Ba? He just rocks.
Best work for teens? Have no idea. Matt and Graeme?
mattfraction laika graemem YAY NICK ABADZIS. Also, yay for person who screamed Hugo Tate. Anyone who wants to publish Hugo Tate, please do. graemem Also also, yay for Nick for namechecking Gina.
