HAPPY ST PATRICK'S DAY

Last night Mrs Smash put up St Patrick's Day decorations. Well apparently during the night, Kitty decided to eat some of the paper decorations. How do I know this? The green vomit on the floor I found this morning clued me in.

HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY!

ELDER PREDATOR STATUE

I always liked the ELDER PREDATOR from 'Predator 2'. This is a nice statue, but I'm not loving the pose... I think its the right arm. I would have preferred a sculpt depicting this stance:
Nice that they included the Alien Skull... although the Xenomorphs have EXOskeletons... what you see IS their "skeleton". I'd prefer it to simply be an Alien head, maybe "fossilized" or something, to give it that aged look.

Updated: Giger's Alien had the skull underneath the head dome. So in that regard, there would be a skull like in this statue. However, the skull in the picture does not have the eyesockets present in Giger's version, which leaves me to believe this is the Cameron/Winston xenomorph from 'Aliens', which was exoskeleton based. I'll go with "the Predator bleached the Cameron/Winston Alien head". Thanks to Anonymous for pointing out the issue. Hope this clarifies my nerd complaint.

You can buy this statue HERE.

BOLDLY GONE

"BOLDLY GONE" is a fun, fanmade webcomic by Kevin Church & Ming Doyle, which follows the frustrating adventures of CAPTAIN PAUL MERIDTH of the MANDELA. Set in the same timeframe as the Original Series, poor Cpt Meridith is always being mistaken for/compared to Captain James T. Kirk.... and it wears on the poor fella....

Here are some pages:

RETURN OF DARTH MAUL

So DARTH MAUL is returning in the Season Finale of CLONE WARS, complete wih new mechanical legs (first seen in Star Wars: Visionaries years back)...

...yeah, I know - too little, too late... he shouldn't have died in the first place... or if he was to return, he should have returned in EPII or EPIII so Anakin/Vader could have fully given into the Dark Side of the Force, striking Maul down, and taking his rightful place at Sidious' side!! You're preaching to the choir, my friend.

Anyway, Maul is making his return, and in the Teaser Promo Trailer there's a super sweet shot of his return, that look extremely like the T-800's recovery from the Tanker Explosion in 'THE TERMINATOR' (one of my all-time favorite shots in a movie). Check it out and geek out:

Did you know Darth Maul had a brother?
Well, he does now on 'The Clone Wars':His name is: "SAVAGE OPRESS"
(sounds like an obscure 80s Power Metal Band)

...which leads us to...

MOEBIUS PASSED AWAY

We've lost another LEGEND in the World of Sci-Fi/Fantasty, Illustration and Imagination... The incredible MOEBIUS passed away yesterday at the age of 73.


I was first exposed to the mind-blowing work of Moebius with his story 'ARZACH', via my older brother's 1970s' HEAVY METAL Magazine. Big, funky-tall hats... pteradactyl-like creatures... insane detail.... and superb storytelling.

Soon after, I would see 'ALIEN' and again be influenced by his work - Moebius designed the kickass Nostromo suits, as well as did concept work for the Approaching the Derelict sequence, and for 'TRON'.

I could not escape Moebius in the 80s (thank the Gods) and would see his work in various gorgeous MARVEL posters and of course his collaboration with Stan Lee on 'SILVER SUFER: PARABLE'.

Recently I finally acquired his COLLECTED INCAL, which is something everyone should have in their collections - they should really start reprinting this book.

Moebius was a trailblazer who influenced generations around the World, and in my opinion, one of the all-time greatest contributors to 20th and 21st Century Sci-Fi/Fantasty Art.

Rest in Peace, Moebius. And thank you for the gifts you've given to us all.

Below are a few classic images that immediately flash into my brain when I hear the words "Moebius":
