Show Lady Gaga your teeth!

Lady Gaga Teeth… a film by Sergio Ceron – Not an official Haus of Gaga creation but there are some rumors that Lady Gaga funded the video or at least she approves of it. S&M beefcake dentist (who could use a better choreographer) kidnaps a shirtless vampire stud to torture him with…

I don’t really know what the point is other than as a cautionary tale… don’t mess with vampires, and if you do, use handcuffs not rope.

Mark Millar follows Wanted and Kick-Ass with Nemesis

Until DC started getting uncomfortable with Millar using the names of 2 of their highest profile characters to sell his new concept, he’d bandying about the tagline “What if Batman was the Joker?” to describe his new creator-owned title… Nemesis. Published by Marvel with an ICON imprint.

“Nemesis” is a reversal of the Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark archetype. What if this genius billionaire was just this total shit, and the only thing that stood between him and a city was the cops? It’s Batman versus Commissioner Gordon, in a weird way. Or maybe a super-villain version of “Se7en.” A billionaire anarchist up against ordinary people. The Joker’s the best thing in the Batman movies, so this guy is a bit of an amalgamation of all the stuff we like.

Original teaser image for Nemesis was pulled when DC had some problems with similarity to and mention of Batman and Joker Retailers who post this poster will get their stores name listed in the first issue Cover to Nemesis #1 Cover to Nemesis #2

The series will feature art by Steve McNiven. Millar’s recent love affair with Hollywood (or is it their love affair with him?) seems to be going strong. Shortly after the very first teaser images were up online his agent was hearing from Hollywood Producers that said “We’re really big fans of this book that Mark and Steve are doing. We really like it. Are the rights available?”

Lets just hope that this time around Millar can curb his tendancy to unnecessarily work hate epithets into his dialog. That was the only thing that I didn’t like about Kick-Ass. (even Romita Jr.’s art stopped bugging me by the end… but that DOESN’T qualify him to draw the Avengers).

Titans: Villains For Hire SPECIAL #1

Since a number of members of the original “New Teen Titans” (Dick, Kory, Donna, Vic and Wally) have graduated to the JLA many had been wondering what will become of the title that was launched specifically to chronicle their tales. But then DC revealed that there would be a new team of Titans, led by Deathstroke? New members would include Cheshire and the Tattooed Man as well as a few surprises they are still keeping under wraps until Brightest Day #0

Titans: Villains For Hire

Their first mission: to assassinate The Atom! And for this team, failure is not an option so he might want to get his affairs in order. I’ve enjoyed a number of anti-hero centered books over the past few years (Secret Six, Thunderbolts, Dark Avengers), so I’m intrigued by this idea.

If you like the look of the image above, then you are in luck because cover artist Fabrizio Fiorentino is also the interior artist for Titans: Villains For Hire SPECIAL #1 due May 12 and written by Eric Wallace. More news on this title as it is revealed.
