The San Diego Comicon gets the lion’s share of the publicity, but you might be pleased to find there’s more than one giant comic book conference. We certainly were. These awesome photos should give you some indication. And, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo (or C2E2) is a lot cheaper airfare on Southwest. So, stock up your Rapid Rewards card and get ready for this year’s C2E2, April 13th-15th, it’s gonna be a blast!

Here’s a film that caught alotta crud a few years back because it didn’t live up to fanboy expectations… whatever the heck THAT means. But, if you dig on Harleys and the likes of Sam Elliott and Nick Cage taking names and kicking ass, we’re not sure why you’d have any reason to piss and moan. Speaking of, looks like this new Ghostrider sequel introduces a new weapon for the hotheaded numbskull to unleash on the unholy… pissing fire. Kinda makes those Calvin stickers obsolete now, don’t it? Couple that with a road trip to Europe to kick some sissy vampire ass and call us hooked. Only thing missing is Eva Mendes, that girl’s hotter than Hades.

Artist Ray Villafane began carving pumpkins on a lark for his art students in a small rural school district in Michigan . The hobby changed his life as he gained a viral following online and unlocked his genuine love of sculpting. Here are images of pumpkin carvings Villafane created over the past five years.

We’ve got our eye on you, mister!

“Who said Ghostrider sucked? Who was it?”

“Hey, Fat Albert! What do you and school in the summertime have in common? No class! HAhaha!”

“I was next in line to marry Anna Nicole Smith. Damn my luck.”

We’ve heard of premature ejaculation, but this guy loses his head after one tug!

“Dude, man! The Green Giant just took a HUGE crap in the pumpkin patch!”

A Dave-O-Lantern!

What a Hummer owner actually looks like.

Hey, Two-Face! Whaddya gonna be for Halloween?

Though he obviously has brains, something tells us this guy ain’t a genius.

Splitting headache? Try Excedrin, the headache medicine.

After meeting Medusa, she seemed to have trouser snake on the brain.

“Son, it’s perfectly okay to be afraid of lady parts. But you have to understand, they think your pee-pee looks weird too!”

With Halloween arriving this Sunday, we began to wonder why it’s taken this long to give werewolves some props. Thanks to the likes of The Vampire LeStat and Twilight series, Vampires have pretty much been running the show for decades. Here’s some insight into why they might be the lesser of the classic horror antagonists.

Happy Halloween boys and girls, in this instance the trick IS the treat! One of our first cartoon crushes was the voluptuous Vampirella. With that skimpy, blood red costume covering the essentials perfectly and coupled with an unquenchable thirst for blood, Vampi was the ultimate bad girl gone good… and, nice boys wanted her baaad, broham. Fittingly she debuted in 1969 under Warren Publishing, and since there were several iterations, we thought we’d start with her first 15 years in the biz.

This week the fire of the female form got our gears going in overtime. We’ve got two polls for you, Betty vs. Veronica and Spider Woman vs. Black Widow. We certainly hope you’ll do your civic duty and vote. As always, Broham Nation brings you the best babes gracing the shelves of comic stores everywhere, starting Wednesday 8/25. Get ‘em while they’re hot, ’cause these girls certainly are!

Black Widow Vol. 4 #5 (Marvel)

Natasha Romanoff is the most sought-after woman in the Marvel universe. We don’t just mean in the romantic way, though many men have (insert spider-related sexual euphemism here). No, we mean that someone tries to kill this broad every other day. Can’t she just be sexy in peace? Nah! In fact, seeing a hot redhead in a black suit got us thinking about her arachnid ally in Marvel babedom, the raven-haired hottie in a red suit, Spider Woman. Today we pose a minor myriad of missives for you to chew on, with a mini-gallery of each to jostle that jug you call a head.

Salem’s Daughter #5 Cover A (Zenescope)

Meet Tits McGee, shown here in glorious Jank-O-Vision! Rob Liefeld, notorious for putting woman breasts on Captain America, manages to put them where they belong this time. Mostly. I mean, they’re in a comic, and not on stage. What can we say? Zenescope does two things right every single week: the left one and the right one.

Betty and Veronica #249 (Archie)

The rivalry between Betty and Veronica is one of the longest-running in the world of comics. They’re friends, of course, but their love for Archie keeps them scheming against each other. No, they’ll never put it aside, and no, what you’re thinking wouldn’t work. Archie’s been trying that for sixty years, man. Oh, it’s never in the comics, but you know he’s tried. This week, Broham Nation asks the ETERNAL QUESTION… (and you better answer truthfully)

Welcome to another edition of Broham Nation’s Cover Girls! This week had a load of good-looking females gracing comic stores’ shelves, so let’s get right to it…

Amazing Spider-man Vol.2 #640 Women of Marvel Variant Cover

Peter Parker’s current situation is confusing. He was married to Mary Jane, seen here on the left. Then, Peter sold his marriage to the devil in a deal to save the life of Aunt May, who is NOT the woman seen here on the right. Aunt May is old and ALWAYS almost dying as it is. No, Black Cat, the woman who we DO see here on the right, was not even part of the deal. Peter Parker is a horrible negotiator. His comics are awesome, though. Don’t worry. He’ll fall into a relationship with another impossibly hot woman before you can say “Mephisto.”

Note: “Variant Cover” means this is not the normal cover for this issue. You’ll have to track it down, broham.

Fables #97

Rose Red has lived in the shadow of her sister Snow White for longer than your family has been in America. Her contrary and adversarial nature has led her to be an awful partner to Sinbad (Red’s husband of about five seconds), Prince Charming (whom Red boinked while he was married to Snow), and Bluebeard (whom she almost married until she faked her death to avoid it), amongst many others. Boy Blue pulled Red’s card on all that, though, and she’s been a little down ever since. Really down. “Not ever getting out of bed” down. And you would STILL hit on her, wouldn’t you? Yeah, you would.

Hack/Slash Omnibus

…and all the Cover Girls readers will look up and shout, “Is Hack/Slash going to make the list every single time there’s a new issue or collection out?” And I’ll whisper, “Probably. Cassie is the hottest chick in comics.” This is Cassie’s third appearance in six Cover Girls editions!

See anything you like? Check Comic Shop Locator for somewhere to buy!

There is a distinct possibility that comics artists and editors got girlfriends in between making last month’s issues and this month’s. WHERE ARE THE HOT WOMEN ON COVERS, COMICS PUBLISHERS? Don’t get all “we’re trying to be a legitimate medium” on us. Show us the girlies!

Just kidding.

It’s been said that females inspire everything from car-buying decisions to wars. In that spirit, Broham Nation brings you a Cover Girls succinct enough to reflect the lack of T&A on the comics stands this week!

Don’t worry. We’re sure the women will be back in full force soon enough.

Escape From Wonderland Hardcover (Zenescope)

“Mommy, why does Daddy get all sweaty during bedtime stories?”

Hack/Slash: My First Maniac #3 (Image)

Let’s just go ahead and say that an umbrella would be pointless.

Sin City #1 Reprint (Dark Horse)

This is  comics recreation of fuzzy Skinemax that your parents wouldn’t pay for.
