Saw this at WickedGayBlog over the holidays and managed to stifle the urge to share it at the time, but now I have happened upon it again… so you have to suffer or do something else while you watch.

I’m guessing he’ll have a few fans who’d lke to give it to him “that way.” Of course my first instinct to dig deeper is a both blessing and a curse. The good news there is two of them. The bad news is I’m not sure if they are TRYING to be funny. But, do we care? I think all hot boys should be encouraged to as goofy as they wanna be on YouTube.

I can think of some different outfits I might have put them for “I Look Good In Leather.” Never heard this song before. Caught me after a night out. But I’m amused.

If you haven’t read Blackest Night #6 STOP WHERE YOU ARE AND DO NOT CLICK ON THE SPOILERIFIC IMAGES BELOW. Stand up, and go to a comic store, buy it, read it, then come back here and we’ll dish.

If you HAVE read it, then by all means take a look and then be sure to leave a comment telling me what you think. My own thoughts, more spoiler details (and another teaser image!) are available in the rest of this entry…

UPDATE: In Blackest Night #6, DC has FINALLY given us a look at the real covers for the 8 titles they are resurrecting for a special Blackest Night tie-in… If you haven’t read you Blackest Night #6 don’t look too closely or you might give something away (more on that later wink wink).

This January, the BLACKEST NIGHT mini series skips a month to make room for a very special Blackest night event. Eight classic titles from DC’s past will return from the dead for one month only to celebrate this mega-crossover throughout the DC Universe. Each series will pick up on its original numbering and feature characters from their original runs as they deal with the events currently unfolding in the DC Universe.

You can see the previously final issues of these titles in my original post on the subject.

It looks like the Marvel U has it’s very own Glenn Beck/Bill O’Reilly… As if they didn’t have enough trouble with Norman Osborn at the helm, now they have to listen to THIS fictional asshat?

SIEGE BLOCKBUSTER TIE-IN!! The SIEGE of Asgard has begun! And Norman Osborn and his Dark Avengers are leading the charge! Osborn’s savvy use of the media fueled his rise to power – but the very tools he’s been using may turn against him.

It’s time to expose Norman’s true face to the world and uncover the secrets behind the attack on the gods! Witness the changing of the Marvel Universe firsthand!

I can’t wait for next weeks books. I’m eagerly anticipating “The Siege” and the ramifications it will have on the Marvel U. We’ve spent the past year watching Norman Osborn build a precarious house of homicidal cards, and it ought to be collapsing on him anytime now.

I absolutely LOVE the way they are telling the story of the developing relationship between Oliver and Kyle on One Life to Live. They are so sweet, tender and romantic together. I wonder how the suburban moms of the midwest are taking it…

Plus a few more moments with Oliver and Kyle…

I know the storyline will only go on as long as the regular viewers like it so I hope they are enjoying the beefcake as much as we are. There have been other gay arcs on soaps before, but the characters generally get shuffled off into limbo eventually. Lets hope Oliver and Kyle become longtime Llanview residents.

Took them long enough to pick up this dangling sub-plot… I think it would have made for a better opening arc than Legion’s return.

What is Illyana Rasputin up to? In NEW MUTANTS #1, she returned from who knows where with knowledge that she says is from the future. A future where things aren’t going well for the X-Men. Emma Frost is not going to settle for this question being unanswered.

What old faces will pop up, and what old acquaintances will be renewed? And will there even be a Utopia left when the mysterious Crone shows up and threatens to bring the entire place crashing down into the Pacific?
