Two Suns? Twin Stars Could Be Visible From Earth By 2012 By Dean Praetorius | HuffingtonPost.com Earth could be getting a second sun, at least temporarily. Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to news.com.au. Betelgeuse, one of the night sky’s brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we’d see a second sun, Carter says. The Star Wars-esque scenario could happen by 2012, Carter says... or it could take longer. But doomsday sayers should be careful about speculation on this one. In fact, a neutrino shower could be beneficial to Earth. UPDATE: To clarify, the news.com.au article does not say a neutrino shower could be beneficial to Earth, but implies a supernova could be beneficial, stating, "Far from being a sign of the apocalypse, according to Dr Carter the supernova will provide Earth with elements necessary for survival and continuity." UPDATE II: In a follow-up piece on news.com.au, Dr. Top Image: Source

BrowserQuest Romantically Apocalyptic - 67 01 by Lar deSouza It’s been some time since I last launched a new feature, a little over 3 years I believe, so forgive me if I’m a bit rusty with this. In brief, Gutters is a series of standalone pages that parody the comic book industry and the heroes and characters that dwell within. Think of it as an editorial cartoon targeting comic books, and you’ll understand where we’re going with it. While I’ll be writing Gutters, Lar will be the art director with Ed Ryzowski serving as colorist. As for who will be doing the actual art, well, that’s where things get interesting (and slightly different). A new Gutters will be posted here every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Rather than using this space right here for blogging purposes, it will instead be primarily used for me to talk about the artist of this specific page, giving you a rundown of their career so far, along with related links. This first page, however, is done by a man they call Lar deSouza, and it’s fairly certain he needs no introduction from me.

OEsquema 271 by Bill Mund Hey Mark, don’t worry. We’ve all had those curiosities. Those dark, digital urges… and for the most part, they’ve worked out fine! I honestly don’t get the reaction that certain retailers have had to Mark and Marvel’s new digital initiatives. We’ve been having different versions of the Print vs Digital debate for years now and I really think it’s high time that retailers stop acting so shocked and appalled that digital comics exist. Maybe one day digital comics will be all we have. And, speaking of those print comics, guess who just smashed two walls in their store and is having a special sale this weekend? This weekend only, you can get 2 Gutters books for only $40! This is a crazy deal, essentially 2-for-1 on the over-sized hardcover Gutters books that between the two feature over 130 Gutters pages plus sketches, commentary, as well as covers and forewords by some of the biggest and best in comics. The sale is only this weekend, so jump on it! Until next time, be good and see you Monday!

You Are Not So Smart Brave New Worldview – 30 Science Fiction Films of the 21st Century - Row Three A decade into the 21st Century and we have arrived at the future. The promise of Tomorrow. But instead we have looming energy crises, endless middle east conflict and more disappointing, we have no flying cars, Heck, for all the bright and clean future promised in 2001: A Space Odyssey, none of the real companies used as brands in the film even exist anymore. Even moving from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s, nobody makes DeLoreans (although they occasionally sell on Ebay), but cloning and tablet computing (as promised by Star Trek: The Next Generation) have more or less come to pass in this century. It is not the gizmos or the distopian aesthetics, that have brought Science Fiction into the new millennium, but the questions it asks of people or society in a future time or place and how they reflect on our own times. Below are over two dozen science fiction pictures that are worth your time. Code 46 Welcome to a world with borders, very difficult to permeate borders. The Fountain Mr.
