Late Night Thing

It's the Silver Anniversary week here at LNT, 25 strong. That's almost half a year. What have you been doing that's anywhere near as good as Late Night Thing for the last 25 weeks? Exactly, that's what we thought, nothing. And while this week is easily as good as any other week that the Thing has had, and probably better, this is only the beginning of the good stuff to come. We're just getting started, wait'll we get to the Gold, Emerald or 10K Diamond weeks! LNT, going for that Star Sapphire you bastards.

Captain America Omnibus

In a world where very few heroes exist - whores liquored up, snorting coke and demanding our attentive sympathies - we all bow our heads and submit. All of us, that is, except for one man - CAPTAIN AMERICA - err, I mean ED BRUBAKER! Find out why he might be the greatest thing in comics right now - because if he isn't, comics has become a very sad place, maybe the saddest place there is. Captain America Omnibus by Brubaker, Epting, Perkins, Weeks, and more!

Eon Kid: Armored Marty

Straight from the Eon Kid CGI cartoon, comes Armored Marty with fist firin' powers of pain! It's been a long time since Erech's had his hands on anything made by Playmates, maybe since as far back as the old Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles line. Has Playmates brought the goods with the Kid, or is this just another cool looking brick? Read on to find out...

The Dark Knight: Movie Masters Joker

We're still over 2 months away from getting The Dark Knight in theaters, but already the marketing blitz has arrived. Commercials, t-shirts, breakfast cereal, and toys! Toys like this Movie Masters Joker, as sculpted by the Four Horsemen Studios, which arrived to Erech thanks to the incompetence of the fine folks at toysrus.com's shipping & receiving department. Yay for lack of customer service, or boo? Read on to find out...

Late Night Thing

It's our 24th week here at the Thing, and to celebrate, we're going to bring you the same quality goodness we bring you every week. You know - making fun of A, B, C and D-list celebs, talking trash about television shows and movies we hate, lambasting network executives choices and decisions, and as always telling you who is going to be on which talk shows this week (as well as which ones you should watch and which ones you should avoid). All for the measly price of free, you can't beat that with a stick, can you? LNT, we're here to stimulate your economy!

Barely Worth Its Own Post

• Not that they need the traffic, but in case you missed it, the AV Club interviews Andrew Dice Clay, and it's something to behold. Attention male comedians of today, you're all on notice, and the Dice-man is running a clinic. Yikes.

• Friend of the house and humanitarian of the year, Matt MacFarland dropped me a line today to let me know he's in the process of self publishing his very first book, and the news couldn't have come soon enough. I've seen Matt's work develop over the years, and to say I'm excited to see a book by him finally hit the shelves would be the understatement of the year. Go visit Matt and see some of his work HERE.

• I've seen some pretty insane nerdy stuff over the years, one of the more intense moments being when Kevin Smith named his firstborn after a friggin' Batman villain, but this takes the cake. A Spidey tattoo that's so cool it almost washes some of the nerd off of it. Almost. Okay, not really at all, but it's still impressive, assuming you're not this guys mother or girlfriend or something... LINK.

• Friend of the house Neil Kleid wants our help. His new Zudacomics series Action, Ohio needs voters (that's you) to go vote for their favorite (that's Action, Ohio) so as to earn a contract with Zuda to run the title for the year. It just takes a minute to read and vote, and then you'll sleep better knowing you did the right thing too, because you were someone's hero today. Check out the Action, Ohio blog for all the links and more info on the series etc etc and so on.
