Chuck is Fan-tastic
At least according to TV Guide’s Fan Favorite Awards. NBC’s Chuck (which unbelievably is on the fence once again facing possible cancellation) took home awards for Best Actress (Yvonne Strahovski), Best Couple “Who Have” (Strahovski and Zachary Levi), and Best Villain (Timothy Dalton). As Chuck’s brother-in-law would say, that’s awesome dude! I’ll also give a shout out to Castle‘s Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic who took home the award for Best Couple “Who Should” (yes please!), and the entire cast of The Big Bang Theory who took home awards for Best Comedy.

Is it just me or do you find it tremendously sad that the clips for Green Lantern
so perfectly fit the theme song to Pokémon?

Usagi Yojimbo #136
- Title: Usagi Yojimbo #136
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Stan Sakai
- Artist: Stan Sakai
The rabbit ronin’s travels lead him to cross paths with Suzuki-Sensei, a friend to his master Katsuichi, and moves further into the countryside that is threatened by the attacks of the mysterious and deadly Red Scorpion Gang (which may be far closer than Usagi Yojimbo realizes).
As we’ve come to expect, Stan Sakai delivers another strong issue. I especially enjoyed the duel between Usagi and Suzuki-Sensei in front of his students, and the split-second decision Usagi must make whether or not to win the match. Usagi makes the right decision, which may prove more important than he realizes as this storyline continues.
This issue begins a multi-story arc and the final page delivers all we need to know about the troubles the rabbit ronin has in store for him next month. If you haven’t been reading Usagi (what’s wrong with you?) this is actually a really good story to jump in and get your feet wet with the character and his world. Worth a look.

Annihilators #2
- Title: Annihilators #2 (of 4)
- Comic Vine: link
- Writers: Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning
- Artists: Tan Eng Huat, Timothy Green II
The second issue is full of action as Silver Surfer, Beta Ray Bill, Gladiator, Quasar, Ronan the Accuser and the Space Knights battle Doctor Dredd and the Dire Wraiths.
In the B-story Rocket Raccoon rescues his friend Groot from the Isle of Punishment only to discover he’s put every living thing on Planet X in terrible danger. More clown assassins, psycho woodpeckers, some awfully good puns, an annoying computer, and our first glimpses into the secrets of Rocket Raccoon’s past make this one impossible to put down.
Both stories get equal time this time around and both provide great moments. The cosmic level of the Annihilators matched with the craziness of Rocket and Groot is a great combination. The level of adorableness Timothy Green II infuses the art the B-story with (particularly the look of Rocket Raccoon) is just wonderful. If you only bought one comic this week I hope it was this one. It’s rare I’m happy paying $5 for a single issue, but this time I think I got my money’s worth. Must-read.
