To be honest I’ve never read a comic before. It would be a stretch to say I’ve even seen one in real life, for all I knew they could have been invented in movies. So, there would have to be a lot of barriers broken to get this show on the road. Specifically me going to some sort of comic book store. I scoped it out, checked here and there, finally found some hippie-ish shops, that seemed like it would have something wacky and creative. That they did as long as you liked mushroom candles and multi-tubular vases. I had to keep going though, because Dalton would bitch at me incessantly if I could not find some comic to write about.

That bitching in the back of my mind drove me to do something I swore I would not do again, go to a trading card store. I’m not talking about your sissy baseball cards here, or maybe I am, but the focus of these stores were tabletop games such as Magic The Gathering and other life draining activities. I walked in, and diverted my eyes from anything resembling human, even the 6 foot tall cardboard cutout of a horned devil creature mouse/moose? I went straight to the back and found the glory I was looking for, cheap and worn comic books.

Now I cant tell the difference between the Fantastic Four and The Watchmen, but I could tell the difference between multiple quarters and a single quarter. Plus cheap things are always of good quality. I clutched a handful and did the ground-stare as I made a beeline for the counter. I could not identify the store clerk in a lineup against 5 tribal-dressed Native Americans if my life depended on it, but I certainly got my stuff and got the hell out of there.

But seriously, I just ordered some off Ebay.

What’s the one word that CBS Sportsline chose to describe tonight’s Stanley Cup winners? That’s right . . . 

This is the first post being made on Unflappings. Ironically enough, it is also atypical from what you will normally see here, but I feel like taking a shit on our agenda is a moot point considering what I’m about to subject you to: the next great super hero — Mirageman.

This Chilean action film mixes the best of dark plot elements with comedic ’70s montages. For the low budget it holds, this film is nothing short of remarkable. For one, the star has absolutely nothing super about him, and he doesn’t have much money either (think Batman minus the gear). He’s essentially a Chilean karate master going around kicking ass on back-alley thugs. I don’t want to reveal too much because I’d rather you watch the film yourself, but let me just say that if you like outstanding fight scenes, David Bowie, Adam West style Batman, and making fun of reality shows, then you’re in for a treat!

Now why am I posting this? Because I wish they’d make a comic out of this! It can even be in Spanish for all I care! And if they’ve already made one — then your mission is to tell me immediately.

Also, keep an eye out for “mirageman” t-shirts. I predict them to be the next “vote for Pedro.”
