* This is the best idea the comics blogosphere as such has had in ages: Sandy Bilus at I Love Rob Liefeld tells the story of Grant Morrison & Frank Quitely’s All Star Superman in eleven panels, one per issue so far. It works! (Via Douglas Wolk.)

* G.I. Joe movie producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura opens his mouth and a veritable ocean of stupid pours out. Jiminy Christmas, they take my favorite toy line from when I was a kid, cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Cobra Commander, and the movie is still going to royally eat it. (Via Topless Robot, who, for their sins, compile some of the choicest idiocy.)

* Either Doug Wolk is pulling another Jess Lemon or extravagantly eyebrowed Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos actually is reviewing comics for a St. Louis-based entertainment website. He’s read Booster Gold and Tales from the Farm…twice! (Via Pitchfork.)

* Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk apparently talked to DC Comics about doing a limited series. He’s also friends with David “Kabuki” Mack. That’s all I got.

* Eve Tushnet writes on abortion in horror, and discovers a surprisingly underutilized approach thereto. Worth a read even if (as is likely) you disagree with where Eve’s coming from on the issue, since her approach is descriptive rather than prescriptive (which is something I could stand to see more of in horror writing, as a matter of fact).

* Rich Juzwiak and Gabe Delahaye chat about Pier Paolo Pasolini’s anti-facist proto-torture-porn, er, classic?, Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom.

* This week’s installment of Awesome Movie Poster Friday over at Stacie Ponder’s Final Girl is all about VHS box art, and needless to say, it’s de-gorgeous.
