Well I’ve met to post this for a while now but it’s pretty bloody obvious that this blog is on a hiatus now.
This blog has a history that was tied to a certain comic book store in Vancouver, Canada (You know, where the 2010 Winter Olympics were) called ELFSAR COLLECTION COMICS & TOYS. Sadly Elfsar had to close down in May so in many ways, it’s closing has also put the final nail into the coffin of this blog. If I had ANY thought of returning and sparking this sucker up, it’s all gone now. Elfsar was the spark that had me start REALLY bad reviews over on Happy Harbor Comics website. That went on for a while until I thought, why not just start my own blog doing the same thing and ranting about whatever else I wanted. So I did and BtS was born. It went through many looks & feel until finding the latest incarnation. Now don’t get me wrong, I do miss it at times but overall I think running this blog took a great deal out of me in ways I haven’t still realized. I managed this blog almost as much or more than working 8 hours a day and that got to be too much in general. That and I feel my appreciation for comic books lately has been at an all time low so I have little to talk about.
I know many friends I know wished I kept the blog up and running but never truly understood it was like feeding a forever hungry zombie… and I FUCKING HATE Zombies!
So for now the blog is again on a Hiatus. If you feel the fucked up strange need to listen to my rambles, you can catch me on Twitter here:

I’m not closing up shop as I like the digital footprint this leaves so feel free to browse and lick the carpet, you might find something you like. That said, I’m closing the comments now for the entire site and all older posts.
Yes that is from the Watchmen set that we found…
So I was out with William S. and we rambled comic book movies (of course) and I mentioned how Kevin Smith mentioned at the EW Visionaries panel @ SDCC that, “Now that the Watchmen movie is done, I can watch it and then just die!” so I ask…
After the Watchmen movie will comic book movies have then jumped the shark? Does it matter if Iron Man II is good? The Hulk 3 decent? An Avengers movie (I mean the Marvel Avengers, not the Brit telly show) , Justice League movie? Or the next Batman movie?
For the Love of Comics has a great article about news about The Dark Knight and the next Batman movie here:

Maybe they could make a better movie and actually HAVE Batman in the movie and not just a supporting character like in Dark Knight. Seems that the rumors are hot and heavy with who is going to be in the next Bat movie, more here from blog@newsarama.com with some thoughts like maybe Black Mask or Hugo Strange:

My vote for the next Bat movie is to have BATMAN in the movie like he was in the first movie please! Oh and if they do Black Mask, they need to hear William’s version!

So looks like Marvel wants to cash in on the fame of Iron Man and have now leaked some of the scenes with Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in a new TV Ad for The Incredible Hulk movie that opens this Friday! I just wish they didn’t show this and left it as a great small scene in the movie. Lame.
Snagged from CBR here:

Yes! Just like in thre recent Hulk video game, the newest trailer has The Incredible Hulk using cars (or what’s left of them) as boxing gloves in the most recent trailer! Check it out here:

I am betting that this is the trailer that will precede Iron Man this weekend! Enjoy! I so need to be elevating my foot and resting, where are my drugs?!
Here is The Incredible Hulk movie poster. Like it? Hate it? Does it look like a bad record cover? Let us know!
