 It’s Toy Fair 2008 here on the east coast, in New York specifically, and we are hip deep in action figures, licensed projects and movie hype – all of which we’ll be digesting for you here on ComicMix and on ComicMix Radio coming up over the next few days and hours. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t take a minute to toss you a few quick links:

So you are that one person who hasn’t seen the trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull , either on this site or even in movie theaters. Then stop being left out and go here – it really isn’t as bad as your friends said it was!
 
The networks are running amok trying to figure if they want to salvage the TV season and if so how to do it. TV Guide continues to post the most up-to-the-minute changes on retuning shows here. Trust us, in some cases the info is even more up-to-date than what your TiVo is telling you. 
 
If finding out what Big Brother is up to is more your thing (and we aren’t talking about the reality TV show), then going here might be of interest. Basically, the Pentagon has developed live, internet talk shows aimed to inform their internal audiences, the public and the blogger community about Pentagon activities and initiatives. Insert any pop culture spy reference you wish here. 
 
The clock is ticking and time is running out to get us your e-mail answer to the trivia question we tossed out in the last ComicMix Radio broadcast. Getting it into to us at podcast@comicmix.com could get you an exclusive limited edition, variant comic from Graham Crackers Comics – but it has to be to us by 9am EST THIS Tuesday, February 19th! And yes, this is yet another hint shown to the right!!

Drained by an overdose of football and politics, this week we’ve got just a few quick links left on the desk to share,  but some great ones.
 
The animation portal MyToons.com launched a branded channel to showcase the work of its community of animators. Take a few minutes and browse through the work – some of it is truly  amazing.

From our No Comment Files: Lasagna Cat is a very odd live action series based on the Garfield comic strips. You can see it here. Don’t saw we didn’t warn you. 
 
Just in case this comes up in day to day conversation, there is a list here of every reason why Dr. David Banner (Bill Bixby) turned into The Hulk on that old TV show. And despite what you think, it always wasn’t just about being angry. 
 
It might be all about hearts and flowers in the week to come, but for us it’s the true love of cool new comics and DVDs we showcase for you – and better yet, it’s our First Anniversary Celebration, plus, with a little luck, the end of the Writer’s Strike.

On this "Super" weekend, ComicMix Radio is more than happy to offer a number of surfing options to keep you busy during the parts of the SuperBowl between the cool commercials.

 
One of those commercials will be the latest trailer for the Iron Man movie from Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment. Look for it to run at around 7:30 PM. Chances are, you have already seen the tease here at Marvel. After the big game, the new ad will also be available here at Apple, and at  the official movie website. Tomorrow it will also hit sites that include Yahoo Sports! and ESPN.com, so basically you won’t be able to miss it. 
 
Brian Wood has posted his Channel Zero design book, Public Domain, as a free PDF download here. Public Domain is a collection of 145 pages of black and white artwork that includes extras generated in 1996-98 during the creation of Wood’s first graphic novel Channel Zero. 
 
Oni Press is picking up the sword and shield with North World, Book 1: The Epic of Conrad, a new original graphic novel series from cartoonist and web comic creator Lars Brown.
