Jan 14, 2009 Trivia Time
It’s Trivia Time again! Last time the questions were all about the Dark Knight while today we are switching gears and getting trivial about the New Avengers. Issue #50 of this series will ship in a few months so the 10 trivia questions will focus on that initial run of comics.I will post the answers to these questions on the Trivia Answers page. No peeking until AFTER you have taken the quiz!
Continue on to take the quiz and be sure to keep score and find out how you did when you finish. Each question is worth one point unless otherwise noted.

A Great Read #2: The Hulk 100 Project
Jan 2, 2009 A Great Read
I must start by saying The Hulk 100 Project that was released in December by the HERO Initiative isn’t so much a “Great Read” as the title of this entry suggests as it is a “Great Look”. The 135 page book collects the 120 (because ”120 is the new 100″ according to the Afterword) unique covers that were created by industry heavy weights like Ed McGuinness, Frank Cho, BOTH Romitas (Jr. and Sr.), David Finch, Mike Deodato, Steve Dillon, J. Scott Campbell and MANY more. Just like the Ultimate Spider-Man 100 Project that came before it, artists were asked to create a cover for a comic book that would then be auctioned off to benefit the HERO Initiative. The money raised from this publication would benefit comic creators that paved the way for the creators of today, obviously a very worthy cause. The comic chosen this year was The Hulk #1 by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness.
Continue on for more Hulk Action. I have also included some samples of what can be found inside this book at the end of today’s entry.
