Preview of PunisherMAX #10 over at CBR. See, I told you, it really does exist.
Newest edition of my CBR column, WHERE THE HELL AM I. Sticking with my recent theme, this week it's titled "Go Fuck Yourself, William Shakespeare." No actually it's called "Juggling Babies" and it's about balancing a comic career with being a dad. So there's, you know, not as much cursing as last time.
GODS HATES ASTRONAUTS. I have nothing to do with this one. It's just great comics.

Preview of WOLVERINE #2.
And hey, WOLVERINE #1 sold out, so look for a second printing sometime next month. Thanks to everybody who picked it up. It's easily the best-selling book I've ever done, so I owe lots of people free beers I guess.

mental_floss Blog » Why Are Iranian Movies So Good? / movies
Iran’s regime is one of the most repressive and censor-happy in the world, and yet their independent filmmakers have, over the last twenty years or so, proven themselves to be some of the best and most creative minds working in cinema. In 1978, cinemas were burned to the ground after images of American decadence were shown on screen. The medium itself was outlawed until the Ayatollah Khamenei saw a film he liked, the cinemas were reopened, and the industry grew again.

The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia / country
The documentary, directed by Julien Nitzberg, follows the legacy of the White family of Boone County, West Virginia. Their most famous living member is Jesco White, star of the 1991 cult documentary hit "Dancing Outlaw" (on which Nitzberg was associate producer). The Appalachian clan is notorious for criminal activity and reckless, larger-than-life characters. They tap-dance, shoot and stab people (including each other), and sell (and do) a lot of drugs. Think "Sopranos" meets "Coal Miner's Daughter."

Researchers Create the World's First Fully Synthetic, Self-Replicating Living Cell / meet-your-new-masters future-shit

The VVA Veteran: REMF Diary of Dying and Bureaucratic Complexity / friends vietnam
When David Willson, a VVA member battling Agent Orange-induced bone cancer, applied to the VA for his veterans benefits last September, he found out that the vast government agency had his name spelled wrong and his address all screwed up.
