Where To Next?: Scott Pilgrim


Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series is arguably the biggest indie comic from the past 10 years, and after the Edgar Wright movie starring Michael Cera came out in 2010, it has exploded into a comic and film phenomena.

Unfortunately, the series is only 6 books long, so many fans crave more once they're done. It's one question I've seen all over the internet: what comics are similar to Scott Pilgrim? or what should I read next? And, all over the internet, there doesn't seem to be a single useful answer.

If you've been anywhere near the internet lately, you've probably seen the video of Patton Oswalt on a new episode of Parks & Recreation pitching his idea for the new Star Wars movie in a filibuster. Nerdom all over the internet exploded over Oswalt's totally improvised pitch which includes The Avengers, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Star Wars, Clash of the Titans and the Greek gods. While a Marvel/Star Wars crossover will probably never happen on the big screen, there are some great moments in this rant that we'd all love to see make it to the new Star Wars franchise.

3 Weird Things You Can Learn From The First Issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles


We all know the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They're a gang of pizza-eating, surfer-slang-using mutated turtles who hang out and beat up bad guys, all while having a ton of fun. However, the original TMNT comics by Eastman and Laird are a very different story than the famous cartoon series.
