Adrianne Palicki Reads Comics? This Water Tastes Like Gin...

I don't see no Supergirl tattoo...

Former Friday Night Lights star (although we loved her in Supernatural) Adrianne Palicki claims she reads comic books, Esquire reports.  But we have to ask:  Does she really?  I mean, look at that picture.  Now look back over here.  Hey! We're typing here!  Anyway, Palicki has been recently picked to play Wonder Woman in the new television show of the same name.  So we have to ask, is she just saying this so comic nerds like us will give her a better reception at ComicCon this year?  Think about that.  If that is true, then this lady is too silly to play Wonder Woman because every cute girl at ComicCon gets a good reception.

Of course, she could be telling the truth.  With awesome exhibits on both Smallville and that ill-fated but actually okay Aquaman pilot, this lady does have the superhero background to back up her wild statements.  Also, she name-dropped Alan Moore and claims to have a Supergirl tattoo, so why not?  It is not like this is the end of days or anything.  However you look at it though, if you get a standee of this lady in a Wonder Woman outfit at your library, you won't have to worry about pointing out the graphic novel section ever again.

Comic Con: Someone Forgot This S$%t Was Popular

Saturday, sales for Comic Con International in San Diego sold out at a record pace, halting Ticketleap servers and ticking off a great many nerds.  The CBR website reported Ticketleap CEO Chris Stanchak saying “our platform experienced capacity issues for a 4 hour period."  


I have one question.  "Duh?" Comic Con regularly caters to tens of thousands in the brief time it graces us with its presence.  Couple that little tidbit with the fact that there are more scifi and comic book movies coming out this year than really should be possible (and the fact that they actually look watchable) and you have on your hands a reason to throw some backup servers on the grid.  This could have been avoided, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt.  Maybe they expected the Internet to be patient.  Yeah, that could happen.
