TEN FUN SUNDAY: CLIFF CHIANG'S PRETTY IN PINK ...HEROES MOST UNSUNG...And More!

One last round of great graphics for you before the weekend's officially over, with comics artist Cliff Chiang's latest mash-up at the head of the (brat) pack. Chiang's been turning out 12-inch Remixes, as he calls them, for the past couple years, merging famous comics characters with classic 80's album covers. His latest with the X-Men was auctioned at Heroes Con earlier this month, and its his second Remixed nod to the late director of Pretty In Pink, John Hughes. Chiang's first tribute casts the classic Teen Titans as The Breakfast Club -- and you can check it out [here]!

Not Comics: RED CAT AND THE WINNER

Red Cat and The Winner are about a famous idea of Deng Xiao Ping that changed China’s modern history. 

In the late 70's, after the Cultural Revolution, Deng Xiao Ping expressed this idea: no matter what color a cat is, if it can catch a mouse, it is a good cat. Thus he confronted those who argued against his new policy as being more capitalist than socialist.

The ISSUE Is...TITANS: VILLAINS FOR HIRE SPECIAL #1 - FINALE!!! (Part FOUR)

The weekend is here, and so is the FINALE that most have been dreading while others of you just couldn't wait for! The Titans Villains For Hire Special reaches its conclusion today... but as you'll find out, the comics' story doesn't end on the last page.  But that's not the issue for us today; for you, us, and a very troubled Ryan Choi,  THE ISSUE IS...

...Deathstroke! The Terminator doesn't just invite himself into the home of Ryan Choi, The Atom; he's brought friends. Jade, who's angry, troubled, and quite homicidal. The Tattooed Man, fresh from a funeral and looking to whip our hero's ass but good. And then a naked flaming chick Choi's never met. Thankfully, neither will his girlfriend, as Deathstroke allows her to walk away from the other other hottie in Ryan's home --  Cynder. Cynder, or Osiris, a studly Middle-Eastern dude The Atom can't help but fall for...

THE ISSUE IS...TITANS: VILLAINS FOR HIRE SPECIAL #1 (Part THREE)

Talk about being tardy! Okay, okay, we've heard the whispers and read your Back Issues  and we assure you, we haven't been completely lazy.  Sometimes a little suspense is good for the soul. Nevertheless, the Home Office has listened. We know that you know what THE ISSUE IS...! It's Part III of Titans: Villains for Hire Special, courtesy of Eric Wallace, Fabrizio Fiorentino, Mike Mayhew, Hi-Fi, Travis Lanham, and of course, DC Comics!  

In PART I of Villains, Ryan Choi aka The Atom doesn't get a moment's rest after he confronts The Floronic Man.  He returns home only to find super-assassin Deathstroke The Terminator sitting in his living room.  He knows he's out-matched; what he doesn't know is that Deathstroke brought friends.  Jade's in the house - and lucky for The Atom, she's off her game.  But Atom's luck doesn't hold in PART II when The Tattooed Man joins the fray.  So much for turning over a new leaf! Things are about to get worse, too: Ryan's got the hots for Amanda, and she's on her way over a nightcap. Little do either of them know their relationship is about to go up in flames...
