BLAARGH! – eBay
If you want it, eBay’s got it for you. However, what eBay also has are fees out the pooper and users that don’t really grasp English or common decency. After all…it’s the internet.

BLAARGH! The Current Status of Superhero Comics

BLAARGH! Goodbye, Sirens… Hello, Sluts
‘Gotham City Sirens’ is going away, which is probably for the best. However, what DC is doing to our favorite trio of villainesses is shocking and confusing. Between the shrunken costumes and switched allegiances, it just makes you want to scream “BLAARGH!”

BLAARGH! No Mask? No Problem.
Flight? Optic blasts? Super strength? No sweat. There’s such a thing as suspending disbelief, after all. But everyone has a limit. Are everyone in the Marvel and DCU completely dim?
BLAARGH! Not-so-Special Effects
Computer-generated special effects have made it possible to show pretty much anything on a movie screen, but has this digital revolution made the extraordinary too ordinary? Recent disturbing trends in CGI make this movie fan yearn for the days of old-school effects.

Camelot
Does this new series from Starz make Jason Kerouac go BLAARGH!, or will he make an argument In Defense Of…? Honestly, going into this, he’s not sure. Hopefully by the time end of this article, we’ll have figured that one out…

BLAARGH! Comic Book Advertising and the Lack Thereof
Advertising is essential in getting products noticed. So when comic publishers cry about a shrinking readership while not seeking out other means of advertising their books, who can they really blame but themselves?

BLAARGH! Kevin Smith’s “Red State” Roadshow
While Kevin Smith’s decision to self-distribute his newest film is a bold and innovative idea, his general attitude behind it reeks of shameless self-promotion and out and out douchiness. Go figure.

BLAARGH! Trading on Mystery
If you can’t make your plot interesting and characters compelling enough, don’t try to trick me into buying your book by throwing a napkin over your villain’s face and making me try to guess who he actually is.

BLAARGH! Amazing Spider-Man #648 – Big Time part 1
It’s a review wrapped inside a BLAARGH! wrapped inside a Taco Bell cheesy gordita. That last bit will only possibly make sense after reading the issue.

BLAARGH! Franken-Castle
For those of you with the reading comprehension of a fetus, this story’s title was a “clever” play on the similarities between the names of the Punisher and Shelly’s infamous doctor. Worst of all? The name’s the best part of this whole literary abortion.

BLAARGH! Rodimus Prime
With a Fansproject upgrade to the Classics Hot Rod toy and a Masterpiece figure from Takara both on the horizon, I can’t help but ponder the Autobots’ one termer. Call him Rodimus Major, Hot Rodimus, or Protector if you must, but I’m talking about Rodimus Prime!
