Gene Colan draws the Batman’s rogues gallery

/ / Comics, Entertainment News 

On Friday we were saddened to learn that artist Gene Colan passed away from complications with liver disease. Although most will remember him for his work on several Marvel titles including Daredevil, Tomb of Dracula, Howard the Duck, and Doctor Strange, (not to mention doing the art for Iron Man #1), I’ll remember Gene Colan most fondly for his work on a DC title in the early-to-mid 1980’s.

Shout Out

/ / Announcements, Entertainment News 

It’s been awhile since we’ve given out an old fashioned RF Shout Out, but here’s a performance worthy.  On last week’s Real Time with Bill Maher, actress Kerry Washington did more than hold her own against Republican panelists Scott McClellan and Lt. Gov. Michael Steele.  Smart, well-informed, funny, articulate, sexy as hell, and always bringing the argument back to the issue at hand; she owned that stage Friday night and just knocked my socks off!  Check out a little of the video from the episode inside along with some more love for the lovely Miss Washington.
