It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here on CounterAgent, but I’ve been busy working on this web project called the SuperLame! Comic Balloon Engine. We’ve just launched it in a public Beta. So, let me take a few moments to explain what it is that’s taken up most of my time as of late.
What is SuperLame? Well, I’m glad you asked. You may have heard the saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. So, if a picture alone is worth that much, how much more can you say with a picture that actually has words too? I’m betting at least a few more than a thousand.
You may have noticed a number of word balloon pictures on this site, amoung others. Before the SuperLame word balloon image creator web app this was a time consuming process. Enter SuperLame and the Comic Balloon Engine. Basically, it’s a simple web tool that gives users the power to easily and quickly add word balloons, speech bubbles, thought bubbles, whatever you want to call them, to your pictures.
Best of all, the entire tool is free for anyone to use. However, if you would like to donate to the SuperLame cause, we wouldn’t turn you down, of course, and hey, it’s a tax right off, right?
The above picture is an example of what you can do at SuperLame. But, don’t take my word for it, check out the SuperLame Word Balloon Web Tool for yourself. Enjoy.
Boom!
We’ve heard it all before “MOVIE GAMES SUCK!!!” Unfortunately that is really true. I’ve tried to think of one good one and I really can’t. Maybe the Iron Man game will be good? At least this video looks pretty good. It’s pretty and action packed. Worst thing about the upcoming game and movie…. we will all be sick of the song “Iron Man”. Enjoy!

As much as we’ve seen of the whole Steampunk trend you’d think we would be tired of it, right? Well I’m not yet tired of it and it’s mostly because of sweetness like this Iron Man.
Usually AgentZero posts this kind of stuff, but I had to post this. It makes me even more excited for the movie that comes out later this year.
Thanks Gizmodo
Rumor has it that Venom may get his own feature film. IESB reports that “Marvel is moving forward with a new stand alone film” and that it has been confirmed that “the studio” has met recently with several “A list writers” about a spin-off film. I am so glad. I was disappointed with Spider-Man 3’s Venom. Come on…Topher Grace. Are you serious? I don’t know who they’ll get to play Venom. Maybe Vin Diesel? You never know. I just hope I’m not let down again.
I’m pretty stoked on the upcoming Iron Man movie. The Hulk movie not so much but hey I never even bothered to see the last one so I really have no expectations. It looks like there will be a cross over between them though. Marvel will have S.h.i.e.l.d agent Nick Fury popping up in Iron Man, oh yeah it’s Sam Jackson by the way. Then in The Incredible Hulk guess who’s stopping by, none other then Robert Downey Jr or Iron Man himself.
William Hurt drops some tid bits on the movie in a recent interview with MTV. He gives a few spoilers so beware, but you can see it all here.
Thanks Rotten Tomatoes
The Justice League has gone through many revisions, variations, and re-imaginings over the years. The Victorian Gaslight Justice League has to be one of the most unique versions of the Justice League. It’s inspired by the comic book, Gotham by Gaslight by Mike Mignola and Brian Augustyn. Set in 1880’s, Batman attempts to stop Jack the Ripper, who has come to Gotham. These figures where designed by Sillof’s Workshop. The funniest one has to be Aquaman with the whole fish bowl head thing. Boy, he just can’t catch a break.
Steampunk!

So it’s a slow news day and I thought I’d post a bunch of Iron Man stuff I’ve seen around and been collecting the past few days. The first picture comes to us from Arvo, Lego designer extraordinaire. Check out more of his Lego creations here. [Newsarama]
Social networking is all the rage these days so why wouldn’t Iron Man have his own MySpace page? In fact, he does. Well actually, the upcoming Iron Man movie has a page. If you just can’t get enough Iron Man and you need another MySpace friend, check it out.
The Iron Man movie already has some cool action figures. Want to see ‘em before they’re released. Marvelous News has you covered. Check ‘em out.
Finally the newest movie still gives us an amazing shot of Iron Man standing tall and looking good. I’m not sure whether this is a photo or a CG rendering, either way it looks amazing and I can’t wait until next May. I’m also throwing in an older shot you may not have seen. Because it’s just as amazing.
Incredible!
