Fannish Items of Interest

Second to last call for the auction at qldfloodauction. The bidding comes to a close tomorrow night, for anyone still wanting to get in one.

Io9 lists The Most Iconic, Stylish, And Just Plain Wacky Opening Credits On Television. Doctor Who, Swamp Thing, X-Men: TAS, Firefly, Buffy, MST3K, Cleopatra 2525, and many others make the list.

It looks like a sequel to Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetery Man) is in the works.

Via Robot 6: iFanboy was informed by an anonymous Wizard staff member that Wizard shut down on Sunday, and the staffer was not permitted to return and collect their belongings. Rest in peace, Twisted Toyfare Theater.

madripoor_rose? I’ve been looking around various sites to see if there are any magazines left for comic fans, like I promised. So far, the only one I’ve turned up that hasn’t gone under within the last few years was one called Comic Buyer’s Guide. However, Wikipedia says that their page count was recently reduced, and the price guide scrapped, similar to what Wizard did. Can anyone on my friends list recommend anything else?

Most Iconic, Stylish, And Just Plain Wacky Opening Credits On Television.

I read that headline out loud to my Mom and the first thing she say "They have Cowboy Bebop on the list, right?"

And wow, Paranoia Agent! That brings back nightmares...

I figured that. I suppose the internet fansites do pretty much the same thing, but Starlog Magazine was a real godsend to me as a lone fangirl living in the sticks as a kid.

I had a blast reading the comments on the XTAS opening - thanks for posting this!

Is it odd that what made me squee on this list was hearing there is a sequel to Dellamorte Dellamore coming out?
